Peaceful Oasis in an Architectural Gem
Our family has stayed at this house many times over the years. There is nothing that the house lacks, and it is perfectly clean and organized, but also beautifully designed and decorated. The pool is perfect, the outdoor lounge and dining areas are very comfortable, the grill, bocce court and firepit are all that you could want for your outdoor fun. We love waking to the bird song under the warm glow of the sunrise on the hills, and listening to the coyotes howling from the mountainside after dark, while star gazing. It feels like you are in a remote, peaceful area at the end of the city, yet it's only minutes away from the shops and restaurants.We'll return again and again.

A perfect home in Vista Las Palmas
Our stay at Steve’s house was perfect. The house is tastefully decorated and absolutely immaculate. The kitchen was the most well-stocked kitchen of any rental I’ve ever stayed in. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time in the yard which offered multiple options for sun lovers and shade seekers. All the outdoor furniture was super comfortable, and the best part is, you can sit back and gaze upon the San Jacinto mountains as you enjoy the yard and pool! Overall, it is a wonderful place, and we hope to visit again soon!

Perfectly restored without losing key architectural elements like the natural wood ceilings, clerestory windows, carport, pool access from the master bath, etc. Perfect furnishings that enhance the design without drawing too much attention. Perfect pool location that allows use in the mountain’s afternoon shadow. Perfect neighborhood for walking and architecture viewing.

Amazing time in an amazing neighborhood
Steve nailed every aspect of what a vacation home should be: comfortable, beautiful and relaxing. Every single item a chef may need was in the kitchen. (In fact, pretty much everything we may have needed in general was found in the home.) The backyard was even more spacious than the pictures show - truly a private space that we didn’t want to leave.
Bob, the concierge, couldn’t have been more gracious with a thorough yet succinct introduction to the property. Professional, courteous, and simply a joy to interact with.
The home is within short walking distance to some great hikes (check out Chino Cone Alluvial Fan for some great views of the city-not to mention laying eyes on the beautiful modern luxury homes in Desert Palisades).
We are already planning a second trip!! Many thanks again to Steve & Bob.
