Nice, but not as pictured

The property is in a good location near the entrance to the park. It was very quiet. The property was clean and the kitchen was well supplied. However the property is not as pictured in the listing. The living room furniture is quite different and not comfortable and the grounds could use some maintenance. mainte

First time Joshua Tree

The property felt roomy enough. There were neighbors, but not too close. We had desert view from the picture window. The view out of the opposite side of the house was nice as well.

The real Joshua Tree

First timer alongside my sister for a quiet weekend. The location is an authentic Joshua Tree experience! Nestled atop a quiet dirt path off the same street that Joshua Tree National Park is located. Just a short 5 min drive to the shops and restaurants. So quiet. So clean and they included small details often overlooked such as q tips, sound machine, extra blanlets and towels.

Perfect location

Very happy with the check in process, and our hosts were very quick in responding to our concerns. And you can't find a more convenient location. The driveway wouldn't work if you had a sports car, but other than that it was easy to negotiate. Anyway, I would gladly stay there again next time I am in the area.

Weekend stay

Overall everything was great! Property was very clean and organized. We got a little lost but they helped us right away and we made it to the property (i think we made a wrong turn). The only bummer was that the grill outside was empty and their spare too so we had to go inside and cook :( please take a sponge to wash your dishes they didn't have one so we felt so bad just rinsing.

Great location for exploring the park.

If you plan to spend most of your time exploring the park, you probably can't do much better than this spot. It's less than a mile from the entrance. The house is well-situated with nice views. Communication with hosts was excellent. If you're planning to spend a lot of time hanging out at the house, it might be a bit minimalist. Bring your own entertainment, as there is no sound system (the record player and speakers shown in one of the photos is no longer there) and tv options are very limited. The kitchen could use a few extra items to make it better suited to longer stays (we stayed four nights): there are no ice trays, so bring your own ice; we couldn't find a can opener; only one wine glass; etc. These were vary minor issues and again, probably won't matter at all to most people. We've been to Joshua Tree many, many times, and sometimes we just like to hang out at the house. The place is a good value for the price.

Location was the deciding factor

You can not get much closer to Joshua Tree National Park unless you are camping in the park! This place was ideal, close to amenities, dining, and recreation. The home was light and airy, well decorated in Mid-century, with a brand new kitchen, two full baths, and three bedrooms. One bedroom is quite small, but the other two were roomy and one with an on suite. The linens were all new as were the shower towels. We appreciated that filtered tap water, TP and paper towels were provided. Since we left everyday for hiking in the park, we spent only a short walk outside but I must say that the outside amenities were weathered by the sun and showed a lack of maintenance. But I did not rent this place for hanging around the remote sunbaked desert landscape (although I saw a beautiful sunrise over the mountain out the front window!). It was the perfect place to wake up to the sun, fix a breakfast on the new gas range, make sandwiches with supplies from the brand-new fridge, then head out for the day. At night, the showers were so wonderful (we did water ration), the couch comfy, and the mattresses were perfect for our weary bones. The last thing I want to add is to arrive in the daylight. The road into the home is rough, not easy to drive in the dark, and the home is dark. But Google Maps took us right to the door! Oh, one more thing...We had a minor request and the hosts were immediately responsive, by both text and email. And they followed up too.

Terrible property manager

The corporate management company (the “host”) is overbearing, difficult to work with and communicates poorly. - the most serious issue that came up is that when we ran the heat and washing machine after arriving at the property, we smelled gas and were advised by the management to leave the property and never given an all clear to return. The manager claims no gas issue but I have little confidence in them.No actual person with a name talked with us or met us, even when we had problems with the property. They use an unsigned corporate email account. We had to stay at a hotel nearby. Here are a few other specific issues in the order they came up:- the host will charge 45 after booking for a damage waiver (this site has a mechanism for asking for a waiver before booking)- they will ask for a picture of the credit card by email or their system (neither is secure)- the property is not as described. The most obvious is that this property is not on 10 acres. There are many neighbors very nearby.- they had no Wi-Fi on property. The manager blamed a “issue affecting the entire San Bernardino county”. I called five hotels within a few miles of the property and they all had Wi-Fi. The system at the property just needed to be reset. The property managers were dishonest in many ways. The management company provided several corporate explanations that I just don’t buy.We got a roughly 60% refund after repeatedly asking their customer service representative.

Convenient for access to Joshua Tree National Park

Quaint small home in the heart of the desert, just minutes from the west entrance of the Joshua Tree National Park. Pictures are accurate. Road to the property is dirt and rough sand from highway to house, can be rough on a vehicle. Very peaceful desert environment. Saw a coyote on property morning we departed. All conveniences of home are provided. No ac , but swamp coolers cool down the house at night to make sleeping comfortable. Worked fine for us since we were in the park during the heat of the day. Would recommend for travelers seeking a true desert experience.

Experience Joshua Tree!

The property was just as expected from the photos. . Very clean, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and nice bathrooms. Just over a mile to Joshua Tree entrance , so you can easily go in and out for some amazing views and hikes . Sitting out in the back yard is quiet and relaxing . The host was extremely responsive and easy to work with. Would definitely return to this rental .

Delightful!!!

This was the perfect vacation home!! WAY more than we expected ! The beds are comfy, linens soft. The house smells fresh. A pleasure to come in from the heat ! So beautiful inside and out! We never turned the TV on once .....the view from the patio is spectacular! Jack rabbits in the yard, a long driveway to take walks. We were visiting from Florida and have never experienced anything like this desert and JT National Park a few minutes down the road! We cannot wait to come back and will stay here again!

One achoo

Very quiet place. I was there for a week and all I heard from the neighbors was one sneeze. It feels very remote even though it is so close to Joshua Tree park. Very peaceful. Even the coyotes seem to enjoy it. Great location. No houses between the front deck to the road into the park. Was super easy to pop in and out of the park. Was missing the umbrellas when I got there but was taken care of quickly by Robert the next day. Great guy. The patio is arranged a bit differently than in the photos. Instead of the two deck chairs there are two chaise lounge chairs. Very comfortable. And there is a cowboy tub for when it gets hotter. The bed is comfortable in the main bedroom and has a great view of the stars and a Joshua tree right out the window. Was missing a can opener and scissors but had everything else for cooking at home. I liked the filtered water option at the sink. Grill was great and the dishwasher was quiet so as not to destroy the peacefulness. TV has Netflix, Prime Video, Vudu and YouTube that you need to sign into. Was able to stream on my iPad easily. Was even able to get wifi out at the table on the patio. It wasn't super strong but I was able to do light browsing. I wasn't there to work. Great that you can see the sunrise and the sunset from the property. I was there mid March 2022. Would like to stay here again. Hard to leave this place.

Great location-close to park entrance

Nice 3 BR, 2 bath house on ten acres- 2 miles from the park entrance. Unbelievable sunrises and sun sets. Coyotes talking in the evening. Upon checking in we couldn’t figure out the TV. Called the property manager for help. Got an immediate response with the correct solution. A very well run operation. I would definitely return.

The Marbella Lane - 10 Acres Oasis Desert Retreat is a wonderful place to stay. The location is amazing - Joshua Tree is almost next door. It was a very simple house with all the necessities. The sky at night was amazing. Very quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed it as a home base.

A getaway under the stars***

We stayed here for a night on the way back to LA from Sedona, AZ. It was so beautiful and peaceful inside and out. The house is equipped with everything we needed for the night. We loved the kitchen and living room. We had BBQ dinner outside and watches the stars till we fell asleep. We would have spent the night outdoor on the lounge chairs if we didn't worry about wild animal :) We'd love to stay here again!!

Great place to say near Joshua Tree National Park

We stayed here on our trip to Joshua Trip. The actual house is a nice size -- def on the bigger side since it was just two of us. It's one of the closet properties to the western entrance of the park and also not far from the cute little towns in the Yucca Valley. The AC worked super well which was great because it was on the warmer side during our stay. The team was also very responsive and even let us check in a couple of hours early so we could leave our stuff in the house and not have it in the car while hiking in the park. There is wildlife around -- we saw jackrabbits and a coyote within feet of the property.

Laid back stargazing perfection

It was the perfect house to get away for the weekend in. the beds were comfortable. the backyard was beautiful and a great vantage point for some star gazing. it was located just far enough away from town so that you could get away but a trip to the grocery wasn’t an inconvenience. There was plenty of space for the three of us with room for more. It was a great getaway and I highly recommend this house to anyone coming to visit Joshua tree.
