Funky movie House, stunning views! 4 min to Joshua Tree park, Fire Pit & Pool
Welcome to King's movie house! Location location! Property is surrounded with panoramic mountain views and beautiful hiking trails in the quiet neighborhood. Only 4 mins away from Joshua Tree Park north entrance, 3 mins away from Tortoise casino, 5 mins from downtown 29 palms with all the bars and restaurant! The entire half of an acre property is blocked in with privacy fence because we want you to feel completely private and relaxed while enjoying your vacation!
Interior painted in red and black, covered with our favorite movie posters, marvel comic themed open bar island in the kitchen, 2 living area for different chilling vibes, a 65â smart TV in the living room and each bedroom has its own TV!
Amazing landscape outdoors, huge deck patio, above the ground pool, bbq grill and a hand-built fire pit, thereâs so much to do within the property. This is the ultimate chilling spot for you in the desert!
As a huge movie buff, this house was a dream to stay in! Love all the decor and the overall theme of the house. Above ground pool was destroyed in a windstorm and was just a skeleton in the corner of the yard, but we did not go there to swim. We were married there on the front porch at sunset with only 3 friends present and it was an absolutely magical sunset wedding on our 7th anniversary...in an awesome house, in a gorgeous desert. Also an amazing location to stargaze at night! We had a lovely time there and would definitely stay there again! Thank you to the host for letting us stay in your beautiful funky home! Will definitely recommend others to stay here.
This house was perfect for us and our friends! It was clean, check in was easy, the house was adorable (we loved the decorations), the host was great at communicating with us, and we were very close to the national park! We would definitely stay here again!
My cousin and I had stayed here for easy access to Joshua Tree National Park entrance for the meteor shower and it was great. The property manager responses very quickly to resolve any hiccup we faced.
The house and the service were the worst weâve ever experienced in Vrbo. Or at any lodging for that matter.
Our messages to the host regarding check-in were ignored for hours; finally, we had to call the number provided and speak with the property manager who sent us the check-in information over text, outside of the app.
When we arrived at the house, it was clear that it hadnât been fully cleaned. The floor was unswept, with stains, footprints, and hair all over. There was hair all over the master bathroom. The bath mat was visibly dirty. Many of the dishes had mysterious residue on them. The leather sofa was covered in dust so thick that we could leave handprints. The bedding in the master bedroom obviously hadnât been changed - there were hairs in the sheets and mascara smeared on the pillowcase.
We took photographs and called the person who had given us the check-in information. She was unhelpful, just saying âoh the cleaning girl is usually so good, Iâll let her know, thatâs not cool.â
Nothing was done to address any of this. We ended up leaving & still havenât heard anything from the host to address our complaints. In fact, the host keeps sending us messages as if everything was wonderful, not acknowledging any of our communications with her property manager or the messages weâve sent her on the app. Itâs bizarre.
The whole thing was a terrible experience, from start to finish.
Clean, solid house but harsh check-out and security deposit policies
The property was clean, neat and as listed. We were comfortable in the home and enjoyed the large yard. However,
1. The option to either pay an extra fee for potential damages or leave an unbelievably MASSIVE security deposit felt completely unfair. Iâm not sure if this is standard on VRBO as Iâm new to the app but it wasnât clear until I had almost confirmed the booking so flagging to other potential renters.
2. Despite paying a healthy cleaning fee, we were told we would be charged large additional fees for leaving a dish in the sink, not taking trash out, locking wrong door, or leaving anything behind on accident that needed returning. I find it rude to punish renters/spoil the end of someoneâs vacation with a penalty fee if they were to accidentally leave a dish in the sink⊠especially when theyâre already paying a cleaning fee. But hey, thatâs just me.
3. Last bit of feedback is that kitchen supplies were very bare minimum. Only 1 huge pot with a lid for boiling anything, no oven mits, 1 baking sheet, full knives. Just heads up for anyone planning on cooking a big meal!
Otherwise, like I said the property was very clean and exactly as listed. We enjoyed our stay overall and the host was responsive in all communications!
I love this location! It's perfect for stargazing and having an outdoor firepit made it cozy outdoors. This place has me missing it already because being one block away from the open desert was something I wasn't expecting and it made it all the better to stay here. Would recommend for anyone traveling with family and friends. I'm willing to stay here again when I return to Twentynine Palms.
