Welcome to Santal Estate, an exclusive TRAVLR Vacation Home! It's no secret that vacation homes are a rising trend in today's shifting travel marketplace and the Santal Estate has earned its place as the ultimate vacation home experience and was professionally redesigned in December 2021! With acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, state-of-the-art entertainment center and Sonos surround sound system, professionally designed interiors and resort-style amenities, the Santal Estate is definitely not your mainstream vacation rental. The private villas boasts open concept floor plans purposefully designed to accommodate casual weekend getaways, large family retreats, corporate events, weddings or the ultimate music festival experience. In addition, Santal Estate is equipped with the latest in smart home technology and features boutique hotel-style bedrooms with curated art and smart TVs and common areas designed for entertaining – specifically designed to enhance the overall guest experience. The Santal Estate is set with the majestic backdrop of the La Quinta desert mountains, making for the perfect retreat for some R&R when you're not racing BMW M cars at the Thermal Race Track on a Saturday afternoon. Imagine relaxing poolside with resort-style amenities such as premium lounge chairs shaded by bohemian-chic umbrellas, fire pits for nighttime storytelling, outdoor dining for 12 and unique hammock gardens to rest in the shade of the iconic desert palm trees. If you're in need of some friendly competition, head down to the sand volleyball court and enjoy some of the other amenities such as bocce ball, putting green, corn hole, ping pong and large fire pit. The expansive grass fields are also the perfect place for throwing around a football. "Understanding that these vacation villas would be the backdrop of many memories for years to come, the overall design choices were meant to provide a bohemian-chic vibe with the use of reclaimed wood, antique iron, casual cottons and linens, chic leather and soothing colors,” said Joel Dessaules, designer of the homes. “We wanted to create spaces that were casual, unexpected and fun—a place that everybody would be drawn to for the style and relaxed by the easy, resort-like feeling.” One of the most unique draws to the Santal Estate is its premium location within the Coachella Valley. These villas are conveniently situated directly across the street from the VIP Entrance to the Empire Polo Club, home of the Coachella and Stagecoach Music & Arts Festivals. Another 15-minutes down the road you can rub elbows with the desert elite at the world-renowned BNP Tennis Tournament or a Championship Golf Series. Looking to enhance your festival or private event experience? The Santal Estate concierge staff offers VIP Packages which include custom tailored itineraries such as a private chef, daily housekeeping and butler services, grocery shopping, fully stocked pantry and in-house masseuse, spa treatments and more. Walking distance to the Empire Polo Fields for all the equestrian activities and feet away from the entrance to the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals; minutes from the La Quinta Resort, Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Old Town La Quinta, and all the La Quinta golf courses. Highway 111 is down the street, with Costco, Target, Coffee Bean, and Starbucks, among many other chains and local favorites. Less than 10 minutes form I-10, you can quickly head to Palm Springs, nearby casinos and other Coachella Valley destinations. Conveniently located on the same street as many other TRAVLR Vacation Homes, Santal Estate is the perfect choice for large groups, corporate retreats or family reunions. “It is a true desert oasis — a centrally located destination where guests can dream up their ideal getaway, big or small, and make it real,” said Jen Wampole, property manager and concierge for The Wampole Group, Inc. “The Santal Estate's secluded setting offers vacationers the coveted feeling of a private desert hideaway while having access to world-class restaurants, shops, sporting events and more.” With its resort-inspired design and amenities thoughtfully enhanced by the 5-star level of guest services, it's no surprise that the Santal Estate has quickly become one of the hottest vacation rental destinations in Coachella Valley.

Check in is after 3PM local time, and check out is no later than 11AM. Early check in and late check out may be available for your reservation. There is a fee of $400 for both or $200 for either early check in or late check out. WILL I NEED TO MEET THE PROPERTY MANAGER TO GET A KEY? All TRAVLR Vacation Homes have keyless locks. This keyless system allows entry into the vacation rental through the issue of a “code” rather than a physical key. The code changes for every reservation so it is an incredibly safe alternative. By issuing the code prior to arrival, the check-in process is much easier. DO YOU PROVIDE DAILY CLEANING SERVICE? TRAVLR Vacation Homes provides a departure clean on all stays. A mid-week or mid-stay clean can be provided for an additional fee. CAN WE HAVE THE POOL HEATED? Your reservation "resort fee" includes the cost of pool heat (up to 80-82 degrees). This fee is not included on Airbnb bookings. WHAT IS PROVIDED WITH MY ACCOMMODATIONS? All of our vacation rentals are furnished and have a kitchen with amenities including a microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender. Each property is stocked with cooking and serving items including plates, bowls and utensils, as well as a can opener, corkscrew measuring spoons and more. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and we also offer a spice rack, salt and pepper. There are bath towels, pool towels and bed linens. We also provide an initial supply of trash liners, toilet paper, hand soap and dishwasher soap. Bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner and liquid body wash. Laundry facilities are also equipped with laundry soap and dryer sheets. CAN I SHIP A PACKAGE TO MY VACATION HOME? We do not recommend shipping directly to the home, we do not have mailbox keys, and there are many different people with access to the home: vendors, housekeeping, Guest Services staff, etc... so we cannot be responsible for packages once delivered. DO YOUR HOMES HAVE OUTDOOR MUSIC SYSTEMS? Yes! The entire property both inside and out is filled with speakers that are setup in different zones so you can enjoy it wherever you are and even have different music playing in different areas. To use, simply download the Sonos app and connect to our Wi-Fi system. You can then control your music from Spotify, Apple Music and more. Due to city regulations though, the outdoor music speakers will not work between the hours of 9PM and 8AM (the indoor ones will though). Please note that bringing your own outdoor speakers is strictly forbidden unless pre-approved by management and could result in a $5000 fine from the city of Indio. DO YOU ALLOW PETS? Our vacation rentals are pet friendly. We allow for up to two pets per property for a fee of $150 per pet.
