You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Minutes to JT National Park, Hot Tub & Game Room

Newly renovated home in heart of downtown Joshua Tree and less than 8 minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance.

Enjoy the crisp air and quiet evenings while you relax in the fully fenced, outdoor space that includes a hot tub, hammocks, a fire pit, and a lovely outdoor dining area.

Each room comes with a queen size memory foam mattresses and the master bedroom has a futon as well. The master bedroom also comes with a workstation with a desk, chair and Hi-Speed internet which makes for a perfect work-cation. The living room comes with a SmartTV and a basket of games for an evening full of fun.

Inside the kitchen, you'll find all the silverware, pots, pans, and plates you need to pretend like you’re going to cook yourself dinner from scratch! It also comes with a new Keurig coffee machine.

While in the backyard, you can lounge in the hammocks, sit by the fire, enjoy a nice dinner under the beautiful stars of Joshua Tree or relax for the evening in our hot tub. A brand new charcoal BBQ is in the backyard and it comes with some BBQ accessories, but please bring your own charcoal.

Looking for some friendly competition? Step into the garage for a fun game of ping pong or play some darts.

One of my wife and I's favorite snacks at night is popcorn with elote seasoning from Trader Joe's, and we make sure to keep this in stock at Casa Azul for you to enjoy it as well.

Parking: You can fit 2 or maybe 3 cars in the driveway. You can also park on the street in front of our house

Entry: There is a keypad located at the front door for easy keyless entry. The entry code will be provided to you 48 hours before arrival. The code is updated after every guest departs.

Internet: The house has reliable high-speed internet that I have tested from the numerous meetings I have taken from Casa Azul.

Coffee & Tea: We have an assorted arrangement of teas for you to choose from and Keurig coffee machine has two different flavors: Summit Roast and The Original Donut Shop Coffee (regular).

Fire Pit: We have a fire pit out back and ask everyone to please bring their own wood if you plan to use it.

Security: A Ring Flood Light security camera is located near the front door for your security. No cameras are located inside the property.

Pets - This property is pet-friendly, we allow well-behaved dogs under 40lbs, no more than 2 at a time, We do not allow pets on furniture or in the bedrooms, as a precaution to help keep the home clean for future guests. SORRY NO CATS ALLOWED

The yard is FULLY fenced and very safe, BUT, this is the desert, and there are many wild animals roaming around their natural habitat, as such, it is very important to keep a close eye on your furry loved ones at all times!

Please disclose if you will be bringing your furry friends with you.

Quick overnight trip to Joshua Tree

The house was clean and well kept. Stocked with lots of games. Only feedback is to update the pots and pans as they are non stick and severely scratched. Also, the cleaning product used was extremely strong and made my pregnant wife a little nauseous.

Precisely what I was looking for in a trip to Joshua Tree

This was a great place to stay while visiting Joshua Tree with kids. Our favorite spot was laying in the hammocks in the backyard first thing in the morning and after a hike. The town had everything you need, and the house was ideally located.

Fun Joshua Tree gathering

Enjoyed A quick visit to Joshua Tree. VRBO was close to park and good restaurants. Hosts were helpful with restaurant ideas and other questions we had. Very clean, room for 6 of us to enjoy each others company. We weren’t there long enough to enjoy hot tub. We liked hanging out in hammocks in private backyard.
