Summary:

☆ 15 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park West Entrance ☆
Casa con Vista is more than just a house; it's my passion project. For over a year, I poured my heart into renovating and designing this space with the hope that every visitor experiences an incredible and tranquil desert getaway. Here, you can truly unwind, disconnect, and savor everything that Joshua Tree has to offer.
Start your day with a coffee on the patio, have dinner al fresco at the picnic table, and cap off your evenings with stargazing in the hot tub after a rewarding day of hiking in the park. I’ve recently even added a new wood fence on the sides of the property so you have extra privacy from the neighbors.
Inside, you'll find my playful take on Southern California design, with hints of surf and skate culture sprinkled throughout the home. Feel free to browse the coffee table books, groove to a vinyl record or two, and kick back on the pull-out couch (I highly recommend pulling it out for maximum comfort).
The kitchen is fully equipped, boasting an updated filtered water system (seriously, the water here tastes amazing), a propane oven, new butcher block counters, and a spacious dining nook that can double as a dedicated workspace for remote workers.
In the bedrooms, you'll discover new memory foam mattresses and handy luggage racks for your convenience.
Moreover, the living room features a Roku streaming TV, a record player, and a selection of games tucked away in the hall closet, including my personal favorite, Bocce. Cornhole (Bags) is also available , located in the Primary Bedroom Closet.

This is the MOJAVE DESERT and you may see animals and other critters you've never seen before! Part of the desert's magic is the wildlife that lives here. You may see/encounter wild rabbits, coyotes, mice, beetles, snakes, scorpions and spiders - just to name a few. This is their natural habitat. We have a large lot and cannot control which of our desert friends decides to call it home. Please be careful and respect the wildlife.
Additionally, there may be occasional power outages in the high desert beyond our control. In the unlikely event that there is a power outage, the latest information can be found from the local electricity company Southern California Edison.
