**THE SPACE: BOHEMIAN LUXURY MEETS PRACTICAL COMFORT**

The heart of The Yucca is its expansive courtyard, anchored by a shimmering saltwater pool complete with a tanning ledge and sun loungers, plus a relaxing hot tub (heating complimentary). Lounge chairs and fringed umbrellas create the perfect retreat for afternoon lounging while others explore the property.

The property is thoughtfully divided into two distinct areas:

**The Private House** features a full-sized, fully equipped kitchen and spacious living area, plus three elegant bedrooms. The primary suite is your showstopper—a lavish ensuite bathroom paired with a private balcony overlooking the tranquil courtyard, perfect for quiet mornings or evening reflection.

**Five Guest Suites** are each designed as private sanctuaries. You’ll find plush bedding, intricate tapestries, and earthy tones throughout.

**KITCHEN & DINING: COOK FOR A CROWD (OR LET PROFESSIONALS HELP)**

The main house has a fully equipped kitchen ideal for daily meal prep, while the Community Room features a second, state-of-the-art kitchen—perfect for delegating cooking duties, hosting a private chef, or simply having two zones so multiple cooks don’t collide.
The Dragonfly Suite is equipped with a kitchenette and a laundry room located between bedroom 3 & 4.

Dining is designed for connection: a spacious covered outdoor living area comfortably seats 10 for meals, and a large outdoor BBQ grill sits ready for your next gathering. Keurig and drip coffee makers are both provided, though you’ll want to bring your own coffee beans.

**AMENITIES BUILT FOR GROUP HARMONY**

Beyond the pools and common areas, you’ll find:
– Fully equipped fitness room (no excuses to skip your morning workout)
– Fire pit for evening gatherings
– Free parking on premises
– Air conditioning, heating, and WiFi throughout
– Bed linens, extra pillows, and blankets provided
– Washer and dryer (plus some suites have their own)
– TV, indoor fireplace, and all the cooking basics (dishes, silverware, dishwasher, oven, stove, refrigerator, freezer, microwave)
– Dedicated workspace if anyone needs to log in during the stay
– Private entrance and single-level home layout for easy navigation

**BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS**

8 bedrooms across the property ensure every guest has their own sleeping space. With 8 bathrooms, morning routines flow smoothly—no bottlenecks, no tension. This layout is what separates The Yucca from cramped vacation rentals: it’s designed so groups actually enjoy spending time together.

**WHY GUESTS CHOOSE THE YUCCA**

This property operates independently, meaning you get complete privacy and a seamless self check-in process. You’re not dealing with staff interruptions or a bustling shared environment—it’s entirely yours. If you want additional services (mid-stay cleaning, daily housekeeping, dishwashing and kitchen cleanup, or chef services for special events), those are available for a fee and can be arranged with 24 hours’ notice.

Pool heating is available for $99/night (2-night minimum) if you’re visiting during cooler months. Pets are welcome for a $75 fee per pet. We can also assist with event planning and catering if you’re celebrating something special.

**GOOD TO KNOW**

This is an independent property without on-site staff, which means maximum privacy and flexibility—you set the pace. After booking, you’ll complete a straightforward ID verification through SuiteOp (our partner platform) to finalize your reservation.

Our cancellation policy is firm: 100% refund within 48 hours of booking, 50% refund if you cancel at least 30 days before check-in, and no refund for cancellations within 30 days of arrival. We strongly encourage travel insurance to protect your investment.

**DESERT HOT SPRINGS: MORE THAN JUST A POOL DESTINATION**

Desert Hot Springs is known for its natural hot springs and spa culture. The town offers a relaxed desert atmosphere with a growing dining and entertainment scene. The Yucca’s central location makes it a solid home base if you want to explore the wider Palm Springs area, though the property itself is designed so thoroughly that many guests find everything they need right here.

**READY TO GATHER?**

The Yucca isn’t just a rental—it’s a space where 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a pool, hot tub, multiple kitchens, and thoughtful amenities come together to make group travel actually enjoyable. Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a friends’ getaway, or a celebration that deserves a stunning backdrop, this is where memories happen.

“The place was gorgeous and accommodated 16 people perfectly. There was two things broken when our group showed up and we were told there would be a pull out couch and there not one, but other then those three small things our stay was lovely!”

“Unfortunately the AC was broken in the main house when we got there. But they did get a maintenance guy on site asap to fix it which took two days. But they did their best to be attentive. The early check in option was really nice and we took advantage of the offer. it's a beautiful home and property. There was a cockroach in one of the bedrooms but not too big a deal for me. There really isn't a comfortable hang out area with a couch to relax in but everything else was perfect. We will most likely be staying here again.”

“We loved the place, perfect amount of space and great location. We had so much fun!”

“Place was great! A good location for a big group. AC was working in most of the rooms but luckily the rooms that didn’t have AC, the people in the rooms didn’t need it. There are stray cats that hang out on the yard at night, if you are allergic to cats just watch out for that. A lot of places to get groceries nearby or refill on alcohol. This place was wonderful and I would return again!!”

“Enjoyed our stay at this Airbnb . It was really clean, and the pool was lots of fun. Will definitely be returning.”

“Beautiful views, you can see the mountains from the house, very peaceful and spacious. Perfect privacy for guess, with their individual rooms. Felt just like my summer vacation home.”

“Great for a large group.”

“Central location, clean and unique place, staff are friendly and respond very fast”

“I'd like to thank the host for having our group stayed at their place. The photos online does not do any justice for this property. At first The area looked sketchy at first when using google maps but once we got to the neighborhood it looked very safe and clean. This property is very beautiful and spacious. Everyone in our group was overly impressed when they step foot through the gate. We'll be looking to stay here annually with friends and family members. Thank you again for hosting us!”

“We want to thank Apek for a great stay. Our group had a fabulous tim, spacious and roomy. The Vila had everything we needed and the needs we had Apek made sure we were taken care of. Thank you!”

“we all had a great time”

“5 Stars – A Perfect Stay for My 40th! This Airbnb was absolutely stunning just like the photos, if not better! The space felt incredibly grand, open, and welcoming. Every one of my guests kept commenting on how spacious and beautiful the home was. It truly set the perfect vibe for a memorable celebration. Our host was amazing and super communicative and always quick to respond, even with all the questions we threw their way. Every message was met with a helpful and prompt reply, which made planning and settling in so much easier. So many people who saw my posts from the weekend have already been asking about the location, and I’ll be recommending this place to anyone looking for a beautiful spot to relax and gather with friends. Thank you for helping make my 40th birthday unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you again! Jesus G.”

“Amazing place to spend the weekend and enjoy with family and friends! Fantastic hosts!”

“Fantastic!”

“Awesome place!”

“Great place, perfect for big groups”

“My friends and I LOVED this place, we enjoyed being in the pool and jacuzzi everyday. We loved having our own rooms and privacy, as well as the large communal spaces, where we all came together. The hosts responses were almost immediate and any issues we had during our stay was fixed within the next couple hours. The photos do not do this place justice, it is much larger than we thought, which was a good thing. Overall, a very pleasant experiences and we would highly recommend to anyone who would like to have their own privacy as well as small get togethers with friends and loved ones.”

“We loved our stay at The Yucca. Once you enter the gate you’re in your own private oasis. The pool and spa were a big part of us choosing the location but the fact that it held all of our guest comfortably was the biggest reason. All the rooms are just like the pictures and the kitchen is great though it could’ve had more supplies such as plates and utensils since it does sleep 16 people. There are two BBQ’s but we were not able to locate the utensils (We did not ask the host where they were and should have). I would’ve like to have an indoor “living room” instead of an office space, we made do outside on the patio area. One safety thing I feel I need to point out is in the main house there are two steps, one from the kitchen to the office area and one to the bedrooms. These steps are the same tile as the floor and several of my guest almost fell because they couldn’t see the step going up or down. We will definitely be booking this hotel in the future.”

“We had 11 guests across 2.5 weeks to house, so this property was a no brainer. What an AMAZING AND PERFECT property for large groups! We felt secluded within the property which was a great privacy and safety feature. The hosts are incredibly communicative and respond quickly to any and all messages. Every single room felt like home and was thoughtfully curated around the needs of guests. I cannot rave about this property enough! The perfect blend of a hotel with having your own rooms and private spaces, but the comfort of an airbnb with being able to gather in the main house kitchen or around the jacuzzi. Will have this place bookmarked forever!!”

“We loved our stay at this beautiful property. It boasts a stunning main house with three bedrooms and five additional independent rooms, each with its own bathroom and kitchen. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, and we ended our last night around the fire pit making s’mores—a perfect setup for a group getaway! A few things to note: there isn’t a traditional living room or cozy communal area for evening relaxation, just a dining table. Additionally, the house lacked some basic supplies; we had to purchase items like dishwasher pods, sponges, salt, and oil, which are typically provided in an Airbnb—so plan for a quick grocery run if you stay here. We had some maintenance issues: a bathroom door didn’t open at check-in and the management company fixed it promptly sending a technician. We also encountered an issue with the alarm going off at night, which the management company couldn’t resolve over the weekend. That disrupted our sleep for two nights. Request the alarm to be disarmed!”

“Muy buena experiencia. El lugar esta tal y como lo describen las fotos. Todo muy limpio y en excelentes condiciones. Muy buena comunicación y siempre muy atentos a nuestras necesidades.”

“We were pretty excited about finding the Yucca Hotel - but it even exceeded our expectations! What a gem of a place! The grounds are much larger than the pictures make you think, the rooms were generous and well appointed, and the BBQs area as well as the kitchen and dining area inside the House was perfect for meals with our whole group of friends! We had a fantastic time, APEK rentals team was super responsive and took great care of us, including recommendations for things to do and options to augment our stay (hired chefs, poolside service, or massages - you name it they've got it!). We will definitely come again. Thank you APEK!”

“Such a beautiful place that’s private and fun! It was the perfect spot to celebrate a birthday with rooms for the family to have their own private spaces. Will definitely book again!”

“Stay was good , Joshua was quick to respond and help with anything we needed. We had a great time and slept all we needed and more! Cheers!!”

“Overall the place looked like the pictures and you would never know being inside the area you’re in. Friday morning we woke up to police coming inside of the Airbnb because they followed the suspect into an area behind us and he was attempting to jump the fence. Check out Sunday there was tape up and police across the street from the Airbnb. It didn’t concern us too much until we realized one of the rooms didn’t lock which was near the entrance. The host can’t stop crime from happening but it was concerning with the door not locking. A few things were broken. I’m not sure if that was from previous people but the fan in the first room didn’t work and the guest bathroom toilet paper dispenser by the first room was broken when we got there. Just a few maintenance issues but nothing that stopped us from enjoying our stay. We had some issues with the doors not unlocking but the host quickly helped us. Overall we would book again!”

“The property is beautiful and worked perfectly for our family vacation. Everyone had their own space and the kitchen in the main house was big enough to gather and prepare meals for our large family. The pool was well maintained and heated.”

“There were a few hiccups upon arrival and tiny issues that arose however the hosts were very responsive and offered solutions to the issues with promises to fix the issues for future guests. Since they were not issues that truly disturbed our stay as we are fairly easy going bunch, found best the issues could wait to be fixed after our departure. Communication with hosts was smooth and friendly. Overall our stay was amazing! We will definitely be booking again. The home is extremely spacious, beautiful, truly feels like your own mini oasis. Cant wait for our next stay!”

“The place was easy to find, check in and communicating with the host. Pros: multiple rooms/restrooms, gym, pool, big front yard, Bon fire etc. Cons: trash spilled in the front upon arrival, pool was greenish and spa bubble stopped working, few things are broken but notified host. Ac on main house not very effective and can still feel the heat outside. All patio umbrellas are broken. Main refrigerator defective not cold enough and other door ref broken. Frot main house entry should have caution tape or rail for old folks or disable person for safety. All issues reported to the host and very responsive. Overall, from 1 is being the worst and 10-is excellent my grade to this place is 8.”

“Great spot! Responsive host”
