Welcome to Villa Escuela! New to VRBO but not new to hosting! Been hosting guests on the other vacation rental platform for 5 years, securing super host status with a 4.94 out of 5 star review (78 plus guest reviews). We are excited to expand our rental to the VRBO community! A Spanish Villa with an "Old Palm Springs" vibe. Enjoy a cool drink on the veranda with fans & misters. Cozy up at the firepit and soak in the mountain views. Do yoga or lawn games on the pristine large lawn beneath the surrounding palm trees. Lounge by the pool & spa followed by a rinse at the outdoor shower. Hop on bikes and head to downtown Palm Springs, less than 2 miles away. The 4 bedrooms are in their own separate wing away from the common spaces. This is one of the few desert homes that allows pets & early check-in & late check-out.
2 miles from casinos, nightlife, restaurants, shopping, & the mtn tram. Steps away from hikes & views overlooking the entire desert valley. 5 min. walk to Margaritaville Resort, which hosts Splash House. 6 miles from Palm Springs Surf Club. 40 minutes from Empire Polo Club music venue’s Stagecoach & Coachella festivals.
CityID 665 We pride our home on being the perfect balance of relaxation and amusement. This home has the feel of a Spanish Colonial Revival with expansive rooms and common spaces. The four bedrooms are located in a separate wing of the home from the common spaces. You'll walk out into the wide-open veranda with Spanish style arches that outline the spectacular views of mountain scenery and desert sunsets. Lush landscaping surrounds the pool and spa that gives you the feel of a private desert oasis. Feel free to enjoy the warmth of the outdoor and indoor fireplaces, take a nap in the hammock shaded by palm trees, cool off in the pool or under the misters, sit in the spa and soak in the desert mountain views, explore nearby trails, or bike to downtown. Best of all, sleep in on your last day knowing you have the luxury of a later checkout.
