About this house rental

Situated in Indian Wells, this lovely house for $1,224 per night is a great choice for your next break. Welcome to your very own slice of paradise! Picture yourself surrounded by the lush greenery of over 30 palm trees, serenaded by the melodious songs of birds and the sight of roadrunners on the hunt. As you wander through the estate, the tranquil sound of three fountains enhances the peaceful atmosphere, creating the perfect backdrop for quality time with family and friends. And what could be more indulgent than soaking in an outdoor heart-shaped bathtub under the twinkling stars? It's a rare gem that sets this property apart, offering a truly unique and romantic experience. But the luxury doesn't stop there – indulge in an outdoor shower, relax on a small bed nestled amidst nature, or engage in friendly competition with horseshoes, darts, or the trampoline sunk into the ground. For those seeking relaxation and warmth, gather around the fire pit as you share stories and toast marshmallows, or lounge by the pool with an array of pool toys to keep everyone entertained. With almost half a football field at your disposal, there's ample space for any outdoor activity your heart desires. Convenience meets luxury with nearby attractions such as the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and Southwest Church, serving as the shuttle pick-up for renowned music festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach. While shuttle pick-up locations may change, rest assured that you're just a short walk away from the action. And when it's time to retire for the night, sink into the comfort of king-sized beds with plush bedding that ensures a restful sleep. Essential amenities such as shampoo, soap, blow dryers, and straightening irons are all provided, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience without a worry in the world. Welcome to your private oasis – where every moment is a celebration of relaxation, luxury, and the beauty of nature. The swimming pool features a shallow sun shelf, perfect for basking in the warm sunlight while reclining under pool umbrellas. Whether you're lounging with a book or simply soaking up the serene ambiance, this sun shelf offers a tranquil oasis for superior relaxation.

RULES/CONTRACT: TERMS: I require to speak with potential guest prior to booking, so your reservation will NOT be accepted till this conversation happens. Separate contract must be signed 24 hours after booking & before entry is allowed. If you need to see contract before you book, please notify me beforehand and I will email copy. By booking, you are agreeing to the separate rental contract & # of people you stated on booking site (Day guest count & children 12+ months old count toward total number) MAX 10 people day guest. # of vehicles must be declared on Docusign contract. MAX 4 cars for 10 people unless prior approval. If you don't get approval, it's $400 per car, per night if over 4 cars THIS INCLUDES DAY GUEST. To ensure peace of mind and protect your investment in your stay at Moon Kai, I highly recommend considering purchasing cancellation insurance. As stated, our cancellation policy is strict, with no refunds provided once booking is confirmed. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE property damage protection insurance separately which is offered on check out. The insurance is for accidents & a great security blanket... just say it was an accident & they cover 100%, no deductible. The house cleaners report damages and they have nothing to gain. There is ALSO a refundable deposit of $1,000 required for things not covered under property damage insurance, etc which will be refunded within 3-4 days after departure.

Request for early check in or late check out can NOT be guaranteed until 5-10 days prior and fee is $150 - $200 per hour depending on Holiday/season. Fee is double if NO prior approval. If you have not made prior arrangements for late check out & are still there after 11am, cleaners WILL stay & start cleaning...a fee of $450 will be charged. If house cleaners find house messier then normal, i.e. trash not thrown away, glasses & plates left around house, kitchen full of dirty dishes, an additional fee of $250 will apply. 3. POOL HEATING fee - winter (Oct-May) $100.00 per day, $300 min (max of 89/90 degrees). Not needed July-Sept. I need 24 hours to heat, so day of check in counts as one day. 4. MISTERS/deck jets $120 per day (only needed above 100 degrees but considered a LUXURY...but does drop temperature 10 degrees around patio & can ONLY be run 11am - 7pm, max 8 hours. $25 for each additional hour since it puts us in a higher tier. Misters use 1 gallon per nozzle, per hour x 33 nozzles = 33 gallons per hour x 8 hours = 264 gallons which is 15 showers. Water is like Gold in desert & bill can be $2k a month just for water. Deck jets (which look cool & are fun for kids) is inc in pool mister fee. If you want just Deck Jets & not misters, that is an extra $25 per day but most people don't do this. RULES/NOTICES: 1. Parties (more than 12) are NOT allowed meaning strictly prohibited (this # includes day guest/children). Violating this rule results in a $5,000 - $10,000 min fee. All guest (including DAY guest) & vehicles must be declared on contract. No weddings! No parties! 2. PATIO furniture - Do NOT move or a $300 fee for moving back will apply. 3. NO smoking indoors, if outdoors, please keep off fabric cushions because they are new & fabric is discontinued. No hookah pipes EVER. 4. No red/purple popsicles, red wine, coffee or Gatorade in bedrooms, it stains permanently. Usually carpet has to be replaced and/or cleaned. 5. ORANGE UMBRELLA: DO NOT MOVE because they are heavy & expensive. 6. UMBRELLAS: DO NOT leave OPEN at night or when leaving house...wind in desert can get up to 80 mph. Each umbrella must be tied up in a knot. 7. DOORS to House - Do NOT leave doors open during high winds or when A/C in on. 8. TOWELS: please do 1-2 loads because they take longest to dry. 9. AC can not be set below 68 degrees. 10. DROP SHADE remote is NOT available for use...NO exceptions. 11. BBQ: when done, turn heat on high 10 min to burn off food, then turn off. 12.

CANDLES: Not allowed outside because they melt in sun and left unattended, can burn down house, however, I do have battery operated ones for your enjoyment. During your stay please know...I don't mind being bothered with questions. Gardeners come Thursday morning - you may NOT send them away & they are there 2-3 hrs. October we re-seed grass, a common practice in desert & only done this time of year. Instructions on how to enter property will be given 10 minutes prior to check in, at which time alarm will be turned off. Pool/Spa/Misters are remotely controlled on App called IAqualink which you download to operate jacuzzi, lights, etc. Pool is 6'-7' deep at deepest point, so NO diving allowed. It's more of a dipping pool to wade & float in w/your friends & family. City charges 12% Occupancy tax on everything, which is added at time of booking. VRBO charges you 15% , that alone = 37% that does NOT go to us. Utilities in desert are like gold which is why there are fees for warming pool, misters, people over 8, etc + it's a lot more wear & tear. During Coachella/Stagecoach early check-in/late check out fee is $300 per hour + 3 night min. Cleaning fee is $400 over normal charge & refundable deposit increases to $2k.

We were very happy with our stay, the property was lovely. The location was a 5-10 minute drive to El Paseo. The owners are very particular about the way their house is run, which for some guests might seem overbearing, but in fact it is admirable and reflects on the type of stay you will have. They clearly use the property regularly themselves, so they set the bar high for their guests to maintain the property with respect, which results in a nicer stay. I have stayed in some houses with broken features throughout the house because it is "just a rental". You wont have that feeling with this house. We look forward to being allowed to rent the house again next year.

We rented the house to celebrate my wife’s second 30th birthday. 😆 It’s everything the reviews are saying. It’s a beautiful home, well maintained, and an awesome backyard. The owners are very responsive for any questions and were greats hosts.

This home is stunning and the pool is the perfect size to lounge in with your guest. Trampoline was in excellent shape. Outdoor tub was spotless. The decor is warm, cozy and inviting. Other homes don’t even come close to having the huge backyard and expensive outdoor furniture this one has. Maria was a joy to work with and she was able to accommodate our additional guest, more people, more use! We also had early check in…some places don’t even allow early check, so happy to pay for the luxury rather than be told it's not even possible. We know utilities in the desert can be pricey, so glad we paid to heat the pool for kids. Why spend this kind of money and then go cheap while you are there! You can tell they take special care of everything from trimming the trees to fresh paint and every utensil you can image. The new bathrooms are stunning! The outdoor bath tub is expected to get some dust...it's the desert...it happens in 5 minutes LOL. House is organized beyond belief! To be honest, I've stayed in a lot of homes and this one is the most maintained house I've ever seen. These are all custom lot's and so private...it's really your own resort. Also I expect to pay for custom tailoring to my reservation...it makes all the difference in the world. I like that Maria makes sure that people have good intentions & vets them...that's what helps to keep this property in good shape. Thanks again for a weekend we will never forget...we for sure are coming back.

At first glance the property is beautiful, but read the details carefully as the extra charges will add up quickly. For example, the property might sleep 12 but you will be charged extra per person per night for occupancy over 8. 1-2 hour early check in are an additional cost. Misters are an additional cost. The location is convenient and the property is clean with a nice backyard barbecue entertaining space. However, the pool is short and narrow and smaller than appears on video. The trampoline is broken with unsafe netting. The outdoor tub was filthy with a skeletonized lizard. Be sure to purchase renters insurance to avoid claims of damaged items against you. If you enjoy 90's decor that is clean and tidy with a large grassy backyard, then this is the place for you. Otherwise, there are plenty of other property options with less hassle..

This property is immaculately maintained and thoughtfully appointed with new appliances, comfortable furniture and quality bedding. The bathroom to bedroom ratio made for some cramped quarters, but we accepted that going in, knowing this rental has exceptional outdoor living, play and entertainment zones for kids and adults. We even brought our own soccer goals for the large flat grounds beyond the pool and spa.. The owner was only a text away and gracious in her communications. I highly recommend this property !!!
