ABOUT

WHO WE ARE

THE DESERT

Patricia & Joe

 

We are based in Palm Desert, CA and Whistler, BC and enjoy traveling as well so we always have a place to share.  We'd love to have you stay at our great home in the Desert!

 

If you are interested in a mountain vacation, we also have a home in Whistler, BC. https://www.qbwhistler.com/.  While our Whistler home is not quite as large as our Desert home, it is a great place for a family to enjoy some colder winter activities!

Why we chose Palm Desert

 

Palm Desert is an upscale community about 25 minutes southeast of Palm Springs Airport. It is known for its dry, warm desert climate with annual temperatures during the winter averaging 75 degrees. It is the home of many famous health spas and celebrities. There are over 100 golf courses in the area, lots of scenic hiking, great shopping and plenty of restaurants. 

 

We had a second home in the desert within a country club since 2008 and recently moved to this home in Palm Desert because it was becoming more difficult for us and our guest to enjoy the Club’s amenities.  We found out that this area of Palm Desert is not windy like many other locations in the desert.  We now have our own pool, freedom from rules and dress codes, privacy, tranquility, yet so close to everything.

What makes this house unique

 

The spacious home, comfortable furnishings, private areas, large indoor/outdoor living, pool and fireplaces provide endless relaxation indoors and out. Our small upscale, quiet neighborhood is safe with mostly permanent residents and snowbirds who are friendly yet keep to themselves.  We enjoy spending time alone and entertaining friends and family equally.
