High quality VRBO

The best furnished VRBO I've ever seen. The place is stocked with everything you need with excellent attention to detail. Extra towels, full spice rack, complete kitchen, alternative means of making coffee, etc. etc., it is an impressive and comfortable place.Impecably clean. Owner has thought of everything and is remarkably responsive, which is much appreciated. It's all remodeled and seems better than the finest hotel..Suggestions: The shower is extremely slippery and needs an anti-slip mat and safety bars to prevent a serious fall. A couple tables in the bedrooms would add more counter space. The gravel path to hot tub is impossible to walk on in bare feet and a paved path would be better. The fence behind the hot tub should be a little higher as the neighbors can see a naked person when getting in.

Joshua Tree

Mark’s house is even better than pictured. So nice to have so many supplies available—showers were stocked with shampoo, conditioner and soap. The outdoor patio and hot tub area was very nice. Highly recommend!

The perfect desert getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at Mark’s place. It was beautifully decorated and very well stocked. We really enjoyed spending time in the hot tub, and the property was in close proximity to Joshua Tree National Park plus many stores, restaurants, and other businesses. The only drawback is that the neighbors were not very friendly, but that was only a minor issue — otherwise this property is perfect! We hope to come back soon!
