Description

Perched on a hillside with amazing Palm Desert views -- and just two miles from the El Paseo shopping district -- this private, five-acre, gated estate awaits for quiet, romantic getaways. With downtown Palm Desert and the El Paseo shopping district accessible in 3 miles, this hidden haven feels worlds away from your day-to-day. Palms Springs is a short drive away, and Joshua Tree National Park is an easy day trip. Hiking paths are accessible right out of the front gate.

The sunlit living room features plush furnishings, artisanal decor, an electric fireplace, and a 60" TV. Enjoy unencumbered 180-degree, panoramic, cliffside views of the entire Coachella Valley and mountain ranges from every room inside as well as the sparkling pool and spa. Floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors offer seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining space to the 2,200-square-foot floor plan. Original architecture design offers classic light and airy desert living experience. Highlights include two sumptuous suites plus a gourmet kitchen. Stainless steel appliances and granite countertops shine in the gourmet kitchen. Keep the cook company at the kitchen bar, while an elegant dining room table seats guests as well. Gather for meals on the covered veranda or take the path through an enchanted yard to a hidden dining patio.

Towering hedges and a lush lawn create the atmosphere of a secret garden. Take in the spectacular views while relaxing on the covered veranda or follow the stone path to a secluded patio with a gas grill and a dining table. Pick a lime from the tree in the yard to use for drinks or salsa. Lovely landscaping and comfy loungers encircle the sprawling pool deck. Admire immaculate valley vistas while you unwind in the heated pool and spa.

This 2 bed 2 bath was beautiful. Amazing views. Fully stocked. Great pool and spa looking over the city. Only thing to understand is the road leading to the property is steep and narrow.

If you wanted to list all the attributes you would need for the location of your perfect getaway, Cliff House checks all the boxes. All the amenities are first class. Pool and spa were perfect, the view of the valley is unparalleled, and the privacy was unbelievable. You are only five minutes from shopping and dining on El Paseo. High marks on this property across the board. We will rent this again in the future

Perfect private getaway with all the amenities! Nice kitchen with everything we needed. We stopped at the grocery store before checking in and didn't leave until we had to check out. The pool was perfect for the two of us for morning, noon and night swims. Second visit here for us and plan on booking again the next chance we can.

1) The spa never heated up as we were told it should.

2) Gardeners were there for about two hours with mechanical devices screaming and managed to cover everything outside with dirt, dust and plant debris. We had to endure their presence and noise, then clean up after them. We basically lost an afternoon to them.

3) We found cockroaches in the bathroom.

4) We found mouse **** all over the cloth napkins and place mats.

We don`t like having to spend our vacation calling service people to do things that should have been done before we arrived.This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

This home was beautifully decorated and immacculate. Kitchen was well-equipped and there were plenty of towels, including towels for hot tub. Close to El Paseo but up a steep one-way road (shared by several homes) that some people may find intimiating.This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

From the moment we arrived, we felt we were in a uniquely special place. This villa is visually stunning with tremendous views high above the city. The home has two separate master bedrooms with bathrooms. The pool and jacuzzi are inviting, the kitchen is fully stocked and the home is tastefully decorated. We look forward to returning next year.This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

We absolutely loved our stay. The location was so private. Coming to the desert in August/Sept., there was little traffic. It was easy to get restaurant reservations. The first time driving up to the cliff house was a little scary, one lane curvy road with no guardrails. But my husband had no trouble up or down. The views were fantastic, the house extremely clean, with every kitchen utensil needed for cooking in. The wi-fi worked perfectly, so that we could make it a working vacation. Would love to come back.This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

We have stayed in many vacation homes and villas, but none as spectacular as this property. The secluded location and views were outstanding, and the property was clean, well appointed, and impeccably maintained. The 2200 sq. ft. interior was spacious and had everything we needed in the kitchen for a luxurious four night stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the private pool and the lovely patio area. The bed was super comfortable and the linens were very good quality. The closets and cabinetry were beautiful. This is obviously a much loved property, and we are glad the owners have decided to rent it when they are not in the area. We would definitely love to stay here again if we are ever in the Palm Desert area.This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

This home is so perfect for 4 ladies! Each bedroom has it`s own private bathroom, the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and the pool/spa with that view are unbeatable!

We did have a little difficulty with Uber, which they did make us aware of beforehand, but the drivers contacted me and we were able to give them the correct directions for pick up!

Highly recommend this beautiful home!This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

This was such an amazing home to stay in for a small family of 4. My husband and I took our two boys for 3 nights for a little change in quarantine scenery. It was impeccably clean and has 2 large master bedrooms. Great size pool that overlooks a cliff of the mountains. Not too high up, but high enough to be secluded.This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
