Situated on over half an acre on a corner lot, this thoughtfully updated property offers privacy, flexibility, and multiple spaces guests love. The charming home welcomes visitors with a shaded patio and a charming frosted French door, opening into a bright, spacious living room framed by expansive windows. Modern updates in soothing desert-inspired tones create a clean, relaxing atmosphere, while life-proof, waterproof vinyl tile flooring stands up beautifully to high guest traffic.

The kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, ample storage, and an adjacent indoor laundry room—an added convenience for longer stays and quick turnovers. A sliding barn door is an attractive feature that allows for zoned climate control and a cushion for quiet spaces. Both bedrooms offer generous space, with the rear bedroom featuring a walk-in closet and private access to a fully enclosed screened patio—a guest-favorite hangout for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. A major value-add is the detached, electrified stucco casita, currently used for storage but full of income-boosting potential. Convert it into a creative studio, yoga room, or remote-work space to elevate nightly rates and guest experience. Located just 3.2 miles to Joshua Tree National Park, 1.2 miles to Tortoise Rock Casino, and close to dining, entertainment, and local attractions, this property checks every box for a successful desert short-term rental. Whether you’re seeking a primary residence, vacation getaway, expanding your Airbnb portfolio or launching your first Joshua Tree investment, this home delivers exceptional versatility and value. Our last Buyer could not obtain financing, but it gifted us with an FHA appraisal over our current List Price, and a clear septic and termite cert for the next lucky Buyer! Opportunities like this don’t last—schedule your private showing today.
