Welcome to Desert Skyline! We have renovated and completely upgraded this home to create a luxurious vacation in the heart of Indio, only 25 minutes away from downtown Palm Springs. This home accommodates up to 18 guests so it's the perfect space for a large group of friends or family getaway.
Desert Skyline is located in a quaint neighbor in Indio surrounded by stunning views of the mountains. We have completely renovated the home with vacation rentals in mind. The backyard has been completely gutted and redesigned to create a luxury resort style pool, spa, and sunken fire-pit. The pool was built to allow ample seating for guests to enjoy the pool and 10-person spa while still being close to the fire pit and tanning shelf. Within the pool itself, we have included 5 pool stools to create a swim up bar connecting to the sunken fire pit. We have ensured maximum use of our space to allow for ample seating by adding 4 Lounge Ledger in-pool chaise and 6 additional chaise lounge chairs lined up by the pool. We built a large solid patio cover attached to the side of the home to create space for additional seating and entertainment. The BBQ island with a 32" Blaze stainless steel grill, wet bar, and dining table is constructed with durable concrete to give the space a raw modern appeal. Simply put, Desert Skyline is the perfect entertainer's paradise.
