An oasis in the Joshua Tree area

The property was just perfect for our visit to Joshua Tree! We spent two glorious nights enjoying Casa Altura. The views are spectacular, and the spa was perfect for soothing our tired bones after a day of hiking. Eddie was the most responsive host I have ever had for a vacation rental. If we ever find ourselves back in this area, I will definitely be booking this home.

Perfect JT Getaway – Amazing Location and Thoughtful Host!

We had an amazing quick weekend trip to explore Joshua Tree, and this house was the perfect base! The location made it easy to access the park and many other nearby trails. Eddie was fantastic - super responsive and proactive in reaching out, which made everything so seamless. His thoughtful touches, like the welcome amenity and local restaurant recommendations, really elevated our stay. We can’t wait to come back, this will definitely be our go-to spot when visiting JT!

Excellent Place to Experience Joshua Tree National Park

We had an incredible stay during our visit to Joshua Tree National Park. We were looking for a place close to the park that offered scenic views, a hot tub, and a pool, and this property exceeded our expectations. The host was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. The property was spotless, beautifully maintained, and perfect for stargazing and relaxing after a day at the park. If you’re considering booking, don’t hesitate—this place is a gem! Thank you to the host for their outstanding hospitality and for sharing such an amazing home with us.

Great weekend getaway in Joshua Tree

Took the wife to Casa Altura for a weekend getaway. The views from each window are amazing and we loved watching the sunrise over Coyote Canyon from the comfort of the sofa. The house was clean and comfortable and had a lot of cool touches like a record player and telescope. My dogs loved the nearby trails and I’ll bring my mountain bike the next time to ride through the desert preserve. Would highly recommend staying here for couples or families.

Joshua Tree Excursion

We had an amazing stay at Casa Altura! I took my family to visit Joshua Tree National Park and Eddie's place was perfect. He's gone to great lengths to make sure that every detail is attended to for this little oasis in the desert. We are a "coffee" family and Casa Altura is well equipped with multiple ways to start your day well caffeinated. JTNP is just minutes away and we had an amazing time hiking climbing and exploring the area. You won't be disappointed with this place's outdoor amenities and its overall experience!

Way beyond our expectations, best VRBO rental EVER!!!

The property was super clean, and spacious, huge picture windows with Jaw Dropping Views! Plenty of parking with an EV charger, large deck and a real stone pool (not above ground). The decor was very comfortable yet modern, super cool! The house was super high tech, yet easy to operate with the google panels in every room, the vintage high end Pioneer Stereo with Vinyls. The owner Eddie was always there for the few inquiries we had, and made us feel at home, (no crazy rules or chores). was more like a super expensive boutique hotel for a very reasonable price! Can't wait to go back!

Joshua tree view and starry skies

From start to finish a great location, well appointed home, close to park and town yet private. Host was in touch and turned up heat and jacuzzi before we arrived. Wonderful open space kitchen and view. Fun to have a turntable and tunes. Nicely set up for phone links to music and electronics. Everything well marked so no learning curve. Will recommend to friends and hope to return.

Beautiful home and perfect location

Casa Altura is a beautiful home. The minute you walk in you'll be amazed by the gorgeous view from the large windows. Those pink-hued sunsets light up the backyard rock formation and pool and make for excellent gazing and photos. It was so homey and comfortable I was sad I booked so many activities outside the home! That being said, Casa Altura is a close drive to many restaurants and attractions. The park is literally right down the road. Eddie is a terrific and kind host. Our only regret is not staying a full week. Next time!

I had the best time staying at Casa Altura. The view was amazing. The stars were visible every night and the sun rising over the mountains was spectacular. I’m glad I chose to stay here. It was so close to town that I could pop back in to rest throughout the day. Eddie was a fantastic host, checking in periodically to make sure my trip was going well. Also, everything was labeled in the house, which was incredibly helpful. I will definitely be back.
