***************************************
A very unique and special property - this estate is one of a handful of original Spanish Haciendas built in La Quinta during the 1930's.

Upon arrival, guests will be treated to a gated bricked courtyard, and charming plastered villa. Soothing sounds of rustling palm fronds and leaves emanate from towering, majestic palms and bountiful citrus trees, which lushly shade and perfume the grounds, providing immediate respite against the hot desert sun. The estate is walled and gated, making it a safe play haven for pets and children.

The residence boasts a colorful legacy of guests and private events and even served as the host location for the La Quinta Arts Foundation Home Tour. Beautifully maintained and cared for - this property exudes charm and artisan flavor throughout.

The property features a main house and a separate private casita. Within the main house, are two bedrooms with private baths. One bedroom is outfitted with a queen bed and two twin beds, allowing sleeping accommodations for 4, the other bedroom has a queen sized bed for two. The main house also has well appointed kitchen with breakfast bar and dining alcove, not to mention a full sized dining room should one desire a more formal eating arrangement.

The casita has a private bedroom with a queen bed, and a main living area with a queen pull out sofa. The casita has it's own full bath and kitchen. The property allows multi-generational families or couples enjoying a vacation together, to have the rare luxury of preparing meals communally, or cooking privately, keeping harmony with individual preferences and schedules.

Visitors will be equally as pleased with the beautiful pool, complete with Jacuzzi and swim up beach and colorful mosaic tabletop. The surrounding patio provides for many sunbathing options, and also gives those who prefer some shade, the ability to laze the day away in a comfortable hammock, hung amidst the mature orange trees that border the pool area. A grill master's dream awaits in a large outdoor palapa by the pool. The full outdoor kitchen boasts a gas grill, sink, bar counter with seating for six, as well as a huge covered dining area that will easily accommodate your group. Next to the stage is a large gas fire pit, made for roasting marshmallows under the starlight, or for delighting guests with warm ambient firelight while keeping any chill at bay. The lush lawn and tropical flower beds throughout the property lend a tropical oasis feeling in contrast to the surrounding bright, sunny desert.

This property was better than we expected. So much character, outdoor area and yard was fantastic, all the amenities, it had plenty of everything we needed, excellent location (we walked downtown a few times, it was minutes away), it provided a perfect setting for our extended family to spend a few days together. Clean, easy, everything worked, everything well maintained, quiet atmosphere, mountain views were stunning. Our family would like to make it annual get-together at THIS property; loved it.

Fantastic home!
We came down for our daughter’s wedding, and the whole family stayed in your home. It was just perfect for all of us, and the casita worked out great for the new bride and groom. The property is lovely and the home is as beautiful as shown in the photos. Lots of space for everyone and really homey feeling.

This home is a gem!
My husband two adult children and mother loved our stay. This Spanish home is decorated perfectly with gorgeous traditional tiles throughout. We stayed out in the Casita and it was perfect. The lot is spectacular adored with fruit trees, BBQ, fire pit and plenty of grass for the dogs to enjoy. The pool was obviously the best! The beds were extremely comfortable, the AC was amazing. We ate every meal at the house and the kitchen had everything we needed. We would love to go back and stay longer!

A true gem
This is an amazing casita and property. Everything -- from the conversation pit, to the pool and palapa bar and fire pit, to all of the incredible decorative details -- make this a special place. If you're interested in the history of La Quinta you'll particularly enjoy this historic property. Even more, Todd was very communicative and helpful throughout the process and made sure that everything was just right. A great experience here - we'd come back in a heartbeat.

Perfect family meet cute place
Our 2nd family get together in the middle so no one has to travel far. House, yard, pool all seclude and fun for activities. Lots of room, kitchen outfitted very well, and beds and baths are comfortable and easy to fit the group. Todd Larsen is a super host and always helpful. Our family is hooked🙃

Lovely House and Yard - GREAT communication
The owner was so responsive to my questions both before and during our stay. I highly recommend this property! Our group of four adults and one dog had a great time at the house. We used both the main house and the casita. The beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. The large and shady side yard for the dog to play in was perfect.

Mini-resort
This house is on a lot triple the size of other lots in the neighborhood. The side yard is is accented by a lush green lawn, grapefruit trees, tangerine trees, and a relaxing hammock. It flows into the backyard with the beautiful pool and jacuzzi. The interior is artfully decorated; the pictures do not do it justice. Plenty of spaces inside and out provide nice areas to relax and enjoy the desert sunshine and serenity. The outdoor fireplace is a great way to wrap up a pleasant day at this personal resort getaway.

Fabulous Place
We have rented this place multiple times and are never disappointed.. wonderful property with pool, hot tub, guest house and fruit trees. We can walk to Arnold Palmers restaurant close by or anywhere in Old Town. Todd is very responsive to any question or issue. We have already rented it for next year! Daryl

Amazing experience
10 out of 10. The owner was so nice and the property was AMAZING. The pool and backyard were perfect for a relaxing girls weekend. The fire pit was the best way to end the night. Inside the house had plenty of room and everything was styled so beautifully. We will definitely be coming back to stay in this house soon.

Spanish Paradise
There will not be a picture or a word to describe the exceptional property and all the decor. Absolutely every inch of this place is accommodating and gorgeous. The location is perfect and there is room to entertain so many, so well. You will not believe it until you see it and I'm definitely booking it again!

Best family get together!
Perfect location to meet up from different cities and us from different state. Everyone had a great time visiting with multiple options indoors and out to group up and talk. Beds were comfy. Kitchen is putfitted incredibly well. So nice to have pool. Spa and grass and trees for shade as an option. Bbq worked well and if the weather had permitted we would have eaten on the cantina next to the grill. Our kids and grandkids, niece and etc. want to arrange another get together soon at the hacienda!

Historic Villa Retreat
This home is wonderful and oh so comfortable. The 1930’s villa has a sumptuous ambiance both inside and out. The furnishings and décor are so tasteful, comfortable, skillful, artistic, appropriate, and often, humorous. Everywhere you look is something to appreciate. The home is equipped in a generous way and so well maintained. The kitchen is loaded with everything anyone could want. The linens and bedding are sumptuous. Every room has a nice TV. Wi-Fi is perfect. The house, casita, and pool made for a perfect family stay with lots of space…. grandparents in the casita; two adults and two kids, in the main house. I cannot overstate how special this property is. It is so much more than a place to stay. It is an experience.

Loved Our Getaway!
I can’t say enough good things about our stay at La Quinta Cove! We planned our trip to celebrate my Dad’s 80th birthday and Easter, we had a wonderful time. The property is beautiful, the inside of the home is so unique and has everything you could ever need for your trip. We used the outside grill for lunches and made a great Easter brunch in the well-appointed kitchen. The home and casita provided plenty of space for our three families and our dog. We loved the conversation pit, used the dining room for brunch and birthday cake time, and LOVED the yard and pool area. The backyard is a hidden gam and made for a very special trip. Todd was super to work with and very kind to my family, we truly appreciated everything he did. We can’t wait for our next trip!

STUNNING Property
My family and I stayed here for Memorial weekend and we could not have been happier. The house is AMAZING, the backyard is absolutely perfect, and the neighborhood is very cute. We have two girls who are three years old and there is a playground one block down from the house. The swimming pool was great for adults and kids just learning to swim. We picked fruit from the trees for fresh juice each morning. The house is very spacious and the detached casita is ideal for another couple or person. We brought our golden retriever who loved the spacious yard! I would highly recommend this property and we plan on returning again! Todd was there to show us around the house when we arrived and was always quick to respond to questions. You will not be disappointed if you chose this home!

Truly delightful
Spotted this listing last year for a family trip, but booked elsewhere. This year I looked for this location specifically and it did NOT disappoint. Check in was simple. Thank goodness, air was already on (as it was a hot summer day) The pics don’t do the house justice. You walk in to that incredible conversation pit room with dining room to your left and bedrooms to your right. The house is decorated in a perfect, eclectic style which is engaging and adds an elevated feeling to your stay. Cozy and comfortable, but not precious or sterile. Kitchen is beyond amazing: unique and charming. You want to spend weeks serving breakfast, lingering over lunch and making drinks in that unique space. You’ll find great cookware and perfect glassware and dish ware. Beds are comfy and bedrooms well-appointed. The house has a lived-in feel that a historic property should have. There’s a feeling of many people having had a wonderful time right where you are. Host and former guests have left little surprises - toiletries, trash bags, pool toys. The out of doors is also the coolest… the pool is beautiful and special - it feels engineered? Not a box-standard design! It’s SHADED! The side yard is huge. The hammock is a DREAM (we were fighting over it). The trees, the flowers? All so well-tended. We played games, watched tv, swam - and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Todd was super helpful and responsive. Will book again (and again)
