The Full Moon, Joshua Tree: Hot Tub, Sauna, Views

they didn't respond have check in info thats wrong and then tried to blame it on me

What a slice of heaven! We needed a place to stay last minute. Owner very accommodating and easy to communicate with. The home itself is situated up high near beautiful mountains with incredible views in all directions. Loved the interior decor styling, you instantly feel more relaxed when walking in! The bedrooms are super spacious with plenty of closet space. Outside there is a very large partially fenced yard that was great for our two dogs. We weren’t there long enough to take advantage of the hot tub, fire pit, bbq, etc., but I did enjoy a cocktail sitting in a pretty seating area watching quail, hummingbirds and admiring the views. Would def return!

Nothing

We enjoyed the views from the yard. The house was roomy.

Attention to detail was lacking. The master bedroom had no light. No side table lights and the main overhead light was burned out. It was totally dark in there. So we occupied the second bedroom which was fine but the bathroom had holes in the wall and no towel bar. There was a huge pile of broken glass in the yard and garbage blowing around when we arrived. The shower curtains were stained and needed to be replaced. (Cheap fix) and the window curtains were too small for the windows and torn. The check in and check out rules were overly rigid and unfriendly. Check in at 4pm (we received our entry code literally minutes before 4:00. Even though we asked for a 3:00 check in). And then a passive aggressive threat email that if we weren’t out by 10:00 am on our check out date we would be charged extra and taken from our deposit. . When I’m on vacation I don’t even emerge from the bedroom until 10:00. Isn’t that what vacations are about? Relaxation? The whole experience was laced with the threat of “extra charges if….” Not my idea of a relaxing vacation. Next time we’ll book a resort hotel for less money, zero threats, free late check outs, great restaurants plus a pool. This place boasted a hot tub under the stars and in actuality it was a teeny tub in a dirt lot with garbage blowing around, broken glass and with zero ambiance. For the money this place sucked.

Nothing

Upon arrival couldn’t get in was never told the combination for the front door inside the place was dirty. Only looking through the window from the outside cause we couldn’t get in again left the property went to a motel six

The views were awesome. The house was clean and comfortable.

We were locked out for 40 minutes because the person that gave us the key code gave us 2 to try. When we got there it was unlocked, we unloaded our belongings, then locked it to go get groceries. Upon arriving, with the groceries the 2 key codes did not work. It took over 40 minutes for us to regain access inside. We were texting the "host" while we waited outside in 90 degree weather with our groceries. Very frustrating. This all could have been avoided if they knew the correct key code to give us. Then the wifi didn't work and went back and forth about that until I finally gave up, so no wifi for our 2 day stay. Hard to make our traveling plans without wifi. Hot tub unusable, it was half full and the cover was half off. Notified them right away. No action was taken. No access to Sauna because again, their words, the door is a little tricky, pull hard. I tried and nothing worked.

The property was amazing. The views and scenery was everything. I would definitely recommend!

The place was great. I never spoke with the host on the phone, but chatting through the Booking app, the host was great and very helpful. There were some elements that weren't perfect, but I was more than happy and might actually stay here again in the future. The trash cans had blown over because of the wind. That's understandable, especially if you know the area, high winds are common and I love them.

The property code and signing up for multiple apps was not great. Especially the 3rd party app "August" that wanted access to all my photos and contacts or they would not check me in. They probably use it to train LLMs or machine learning models or maybe just selling the info. Speak with the person via Booking chat and see if you can get the code without it.
