Great desert getaway
My family of 5 stayed in this beautiful condo during a tournament at the Empire Polo Grounds. Location was convenient, condo was spacious and clean, and beds were extremely comfortable. We loved the patio and the quietness of the gated community. Communication with the manager was very pleasant. Condo is highly recommended and we would definitely stay again. Community pools were a close walk and heated! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great Experience
We stayed here for the weekend of Stagecoach. The location was very convenient to the Polo grounds. The property management team did a great job communicating with me prior to arrival and throughout our checkout process. The home was very spacious and had all of the amenities we could have asked for. Overall, we could not have hoped for a better experience last weekend, and if we head back next year - we will look to see if this is available again!

La Quinta getaway!
We enjoyed our stay. The home was well appointed, with comfortable furniture and beds, as well as nice bedding and towels, and TVs in the rooms. We had a problem with the door code when we first arrived but Michael and the property manager were very attentive and fixed the issue quickly. The community pool was close to the unit. It was not very busy and had a lovely setting. The home was a little further away from where we usually stay in Palm Desert and not within walking distance of stores, but it gave us a chance to explore a different area of La Quinta. We would definitely recommend and go back another time!

Sunny Thanksgiving
We booked the house for a Thanksgiving getaway. House was clean and comfortable and well laid out, 4 people and we never felt like we were on top of each other. Master bedroom large and quiet, even if we were booted out by an 8 year old. The property manager was easily accessible and helpful. We loved that there were 2 pools and 2 hot tubs to pick from and plenty of towels in the house. The community was very quiet, usually had the pool to ourselves. We spent a lot of our time in the back yard, private and good light. I recommend bringing all food items you would want, including coffee/sugar/pantry staples prior to arriving, not a deal breaker and there is a food store an easy drive away.

Simple Clean House, Sewer Line Malfunction
Overall had a great stay in Puerta Azul, except for a few days into our stay the sewer line backed up and water started flooding out of the toilets all over the bathroom/closet. Luckily the property manager found us a new place, but we weren't offered any compensation or apologies by the owner for the inconvenience. They also couldn't get a plumber out so we couldn't use the toilets overnight. Location is close to the horse park, pools are nice.

Perfect place for a short visit
We were looking for a place close to my sister's and this place didn't disappoint. It was perfect for our family of 5 adults with enough room for all of us to get ready or use as a quiet getaway from all the holiday family gatherings. The owner/property manager is very responsive, answered all of my emails and questions and they provided step by step information on anything you would need from gate/door security, garbage pickups, tv, wifi, etc. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a nice oasis.

Loved the home and the area.
Very nice home I was very surprised how updated it was considering it is a rental. The 3 tvs worked out great for us. Nice and comfortable really felt like home. Loved the community very quiet and relaxing, weather couldn't have been better. I already miss the swimming pool and hot tub. Plan to come again next year. Nancy

Great complex/location
Location and complex perfect. Good facilities i.e. two swimming pools, hot tubs, great room for entertaining with large t.v., kitchen, table tennis, pool table, tennis courts. We really enjoyed the facilities. The unit itself was very comfortable for two couples. Couple of small items which were dealt with quickly by Michael.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC VACATION
We had such a great vacation and it all begins with where you stay! Mike was so great to deal great communication....the suite was just as it is displayed in the picture but of course even better in person. I love how clean it smelt as soon as we arrived everything was clean and had all the basics we needed. The bed was so comfortable and the bedding was so comfy! The complex was absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. We picked this specific unit because it was dog friendly as we travelled 21 hrs in our vehicle bringing our beloved pet with us this complex was so great I really felt like I was at home I could bring my dog to the pool to lay beside me and that gorgeous amenity room. There was a few issues with previous tenants which is really sad and hard for people that really do appreciate such great owners that are willing to make your stay fantastic. This is such a Beautiful area to get up and walk around and we felt like we had the place to ourselves so quiet we will definitely return we had the most relaxing stay in such a gorgeous condo!!!

Beautiful Mediterranean Villa
We stayed at the house for a week, it's a beautiful, quiet neighborhood with stunning mountain views. Everything was as advertised, well equipped kitchen, very spacious open floor plan and a quaint patio to enjoy as well. We would love to stay here again next year. I recommend this property without hesitation.
