Family-friendly holiday rentals in Palm Desert

We absolutely loved staying in this beautiful home. Quiet and serene and very close to downtown Palm Springs and all the other activities. Definitely loved working with Nana, and would rent with her again.

Oh my, what a wonderful stay my family had at Johns place. Don’t think twice about booking! Johns communication was wonderful prior to booking and afterwards! This home is beautiful, clean and spacious! We enjoyed swimming in the pool most of our days and roasting marshmallows in the evening by the fire pit. We cozied up in the living room for some movies and enjoyed our dinners outside on the large patio table. We appreciated the board games that were provided along with the pool toys. We cooked all our meals so the well stocked kitchen was lovely. The wildlife of humming birds & butterflies in the backyard was beautiful! We will defiantly return in the future!

Staying at Mojave Moon is like your own mini wellness retreat. The house and backyard are both so well done and shout out to the great vinyl collection! We loved soaking up the desert vibes in the backyard each day and making friends with all the adorable chipmunks and bunnies that came through to say hi. We had to reschedule our initial booking and Britt was extremely accommodating and always super communicative. We loved our time at her place and cannot wait to go back!

We had a great stay and Leafe was super helpful with local recommendations! The house was very peaceful and private. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting Joshua Tree!

Einfach grossartig! Super freundliche Gastgeber - hilfsbereit, offen, zuverlässig und zuvorkommend! Die Lage ist sehr schön, ruhig und man kann die ganze Natur wahrnehmen. Das Haus ist genial von der Aufteilung her und super eingerichtet. Wir haben jede Minute genossen! Alles in allem, einfach Top!

Kai's home is beautiful and very comfortable. The backyard is incredible, with the pool, hot tub, and multiple seating options. I loved the fenced-in back yard for my two dogs, they had a great time roaming around, and I didn't have to worry about them wandering off. I was most appreciative of the peace and quiet I enjoyed for the whole week. Downtown activities are a short 10-15 minute drive, and the awesome Palm Springs Air Museum is also close-by and well worth a visit. Beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are clean and up-to-date. All the appliances worked very well. I hope to return again soon.

Remarkable, secluded, serene, a true hidden oasis is what comes to mind when describing Tim's place. Beautifully appointed house that is a perfect representation of that mid century modern Palm Springs style. The floor to ceiling windows over looking the pool and backyard surrounded by 20 ft plants and trees make it feel like a secret hideaway only you know about and get to enjoy. If the property wasn't enough Tim's hospitality and thoughtfulness, truly making us feel welcome and special was greatly appreciated and praiseworthy. We will be back soon.

My friends and I had so much fun here it’s a beautiful property and I think it healed me haha it has everything you could want in a little get away :) would just say the only issue we had was one of the rooms doesn’t have black out curtains so bring sleep eye masks luckily I had one but we will definitely be back loved it !

WOW!!! Book it. You won’t regret it. Words do this place justice. The view from Zeus was absolutely stunning! Diane and her staff went above and beyond our entire stay. I’ll just say it’s few and far between to find people who genuinely care - and they do!!! The property was serene and peaceful - soul refreshing. Make sure to bring closed toe shoes. Even if you typically don’t do nature walks or hikes, bring them bc it is so beautiful there - you’ll be dying go look around. Also, visit the community center before you head out - they’ve got hiking sticks you can use on your journey. We had plans to go to Newport Beach, Joshua tree, several other places - we ended up only leaving twice - mainly to go to the grocery store and back. We couldn’t talk ourselves into missing this stunning place for even a second more than we had to. From watching the sun come up over one mountain to watching it set across another - more than anything I miss the night sky. Absolutely incredible.

I needed some rest & relaxation after planning a huge event for work and Traci's home in Palm Springs was the perfect place! With its open floor plan concept and gorgeous pool, it welcomes you to relax and unwind. We spent an entire day at the pool! Loved that all the cabinets and drawers in the home are labelled which made it so easy to find everything. The location is ideal and a quick drive to restaurants and close to everything that Palm Springs has to offer. Our family spent some time miniature golfing, visited a little cultural museum and a couple of us made a quick trip to the local casino. It was an amazing trip and we look forward to staying here again in the near future! I highly recommend staying at this beautiful home if you are planning a trip to Palm Springs.

We had a fantastic stay! The host was incredibly communicative—she made everything easy, from directions to check-out. The place was exactly as described and absolutely perfect for us, including our service dog and pet dog. It’s tucked down a short, flat dirt road, but the host gave clear directions to stay on pavement for most of the way, which was helpful. The house was quiet, peaceful, and spotless. Beds were clean and super comfortable. Check-out was refreshingly simple—none of the long to-do lists you find at other places. She also stocked the house with thoughtful extras like games, movies, spices, coffee, and all the little things you might forget. The AC worked amazing! the washer and dryer are huge! there is a fenced area for the dogs. We went for a concert at Pappy and Harriets and it was a fun 25 minute drive through the country. It was a beautiful, comfortable stay, and we’ll absolutely be back.

Wonderful stay. It’s really well decorated, homey and spacious. The garden is beautiful and full of wildlife and the views are spectacular. There are warm hearted instructions around the home and you can feel the thought put into everything. It feels secluded off the dirt road, but comforting to know that Piper is next door. There are definitely little critters around but I was pleasantly surprised with how few got in (as long as you use the screen doors). Linens and towels seem a little worn so if you’re picky bring your own, but overall a clean, great space! Thank you, Piper!

Fantastic!!!! Our vacation at Oded’s place in Yucca Valley exceeded our expectations. Oded provided excellent directions and instructions on how to enter the property and responded quickly if we had a question. The interior of the house is clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and the kitchen has everything you will need. We especially enjoyed the espresso machine. 😊 The exterior is even more amazing. Plenty of furniture for lounging; the saltwater pool is perfect for swimming or just relaxing. Sitting in the jacuzzi at night and watching the stars was incredible. An added treat were the two owls that showed up each night and sat in the nearby Yucca Trees. We highly recommend Oded’s place and will definitely return.

My sister and I were looking to relax around the pool for a few days to celebrate her birthday and we found exactly what we needed. The restaurants that we sampled from Billy & Jeff’s recommendations were fabulous . Everything we needed was at the house including pool floats. As a former zookeeper I absolutely loved the flamingo themed decor! The flamingo house’s convenient location allowed us to check Joshua Tree National Park off our bucket lists! The weather was perfect and we just really enjoyed being outside around the pool. Listening to the waterfalls was especially relaxing and the nighttime lights allowed us to spend time outside after dark. We would absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Palm Springs. Billy also gave us a great recommendation for lunch in nearby Idyllwild. I used to live in Mountain Center and appreciated the nostalgic trip through downtown past the old movie theater and the supermarket that I used to frequent!

If only there was a 6th star!! First off, let me say that our hosts thought of everything to ensure that we had the complete Palm Springs experience. This incredible home is so welcoming and stocked with every need fulfilled. The backyard is a dream oasis and I would stay here again without question. The proximity to the airport is convenient and you quickly get used to hearing the planes. Thank you Clara and Stuart for your excellent communication and trip enhancements. 😁

Always a great time at Palm Trees and Memories! The hosts communicate very well, and are super helpful! Everything is well organized which helps with putting things back where they belong! Great yard and neighborhood, the pool is magical!

Our family had a wonderful time in Palm Springs. The Popsicle House had everything we needed. We appreciate how well stocked the kitchen was. The pool and outside area was exactly what we expected. Location was in a very quiet area and private. We look forward to coming back!

Sophia was a wonderful host! She was a great communicator and happy to provide any help needed. The space is excellent! The neighborhood is beautiful. 15 mins to Downtown Palm Springs. We would definitely come back and recommend this AirB&B in the future!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay, it was quiet, peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. The Airbnb was clean and cozy. We would definitely stay there again.

This villa was lovely, really well equipped, everything you could need. Well cleaned, good amenities washing machine etc. Really quick helpful responses from Todd and Mitch. Quiet neighbourhood. Smooth check in process. It's in quite a windy area but view is lovely, great Airbnb

it's open concepts century moden style decore with simple but lots of things to offered. Host Walter communicated with me to make sure we have comfortable stay. Also manual book give many questions to answer and able to enjoy the place 1000%. Place is 20 minutes away from Palm Spring and 40 minute from Joshua Tree West Entrance. Distance wasn't issue at all, just come home and everything makes relax and comfortable setup to enjoy vacation. Everyday roadrunner visited us, and feel welcome and surprised. I wish I have more time to stay there but definitely place to suggest for future. Host Walter and Miguel definitely make feel welcome and provide clean safe place to offer for future guests.

Jenn’s place felt like a time travel experience – in the best way! It’s beautifully designed with a great vibe that makes you feel good the moment you walk in. Super comfortable and perfect for a peaceful, relaxing stay. Just as described, and we had a great time. Thank you!

This was the perfect stay for my family for our memorial day vacation! The place was very spacious, clean and the amenities were fantastic. Amanda, our host was very communicative and friendly throughout our stay. The space was spotless, well-stocked, and exactly as described—if not better! It had all the comforts of home with thoughtful touches that made the stay even more enjoyable. The location was convenient and peaceful, making it a great place to relax after a busy day. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch Airbnb experience. Thank you for your outstanding hospitality!

My girlfriend and I stayed at Tamara’s place and absolutely loved it. Everything was super clean, and the space was thoughtfully designed. Be sure to make time to enjoy the amenities—we especially loved the cowboy pool, the spa, and the beautiful outdoor area. You can tell that Tamara put a lot of care into the decoration and layout. Outside, we appreciated the shade provided by the plants and trees, which made the space feel peaceful and private. The pond was a beautiful touch, and we enjoyed watching birds stop by for a drink.The kitchen was fully stocked, making it easy to cook meals. There’s AC in both the master bedroom and the living room, which kept the house cool and comfortable. Our favorite spot was the sunroom, along with all the charming vintage details throughout the home. Tamara was a fantastic host—very accommodating and even let us check in early. We definitely recommend staying here if you're visiting Joshua Tree!
