The Polo House - Ultimate Festival Home With 18 Beds, Sleeps 21!

We look forward to hosting you and want to confirm that our property is an excellent fit for your visit to the Palm Springs area so you are able to fully enjoy your stay. ***** This hidden gem is just a 10-minute walk from the Empire Polo Club. The desert’s best restaurants, shops, and attractions are only a few minutes away by car. So are more than 7 premiere golf courses, including PGA West. Yet from the moment you pull up to this gorgeous, 5,700-square-foot home, you’ll feel the mental clarity and relief you only get when you leave the world behind. The Polo House is an exclusive property that sleeps up to 21 guests in 18 separate luxury beds. The ample space makes this home perfect for family reunions, corporate retreats, small weddings, and golf groups alike. The home was renovated from floor-to-ceiling in late 2019 with brand new furniture, a spacious kitchen, and contemporary flooring. Even better, our luxury beds can be configured in dozens of ways! The master bedroom has a plush king bed, and an oversized guest room has 2 queens and 1 twin. The other 7 guest rooms (yes, 7!) can have either 1 king each, or 2 extra-large twins. Guests always praise the quality of our mattresses and bedding, saying they woke up every morning feeling rested and refreshed. Flexible sleeping arrangements make The Polo House ideal for large groups, including groups of people who all want their own space. The home was recently renovated, and every room now has its own private, attached bathroom. It’s rare to find a home with this many ensuite rooms! The main attraction of The Polo House is the sprawling and lavishly landscaped backyard. Nestled on over 1 full acre, The Polo House boasts multiple game options, including a putting green, ping pong table, and shuffleboard court. Challenge your buddy to a putting contest or play a leisurely game with your kids! If relaxing by a sparkling pool is more your style, curl up in one of two shaded day beds and fall asleep to the splash of the pool’s waterfall. Or soak in the hot tub after a brilliant day of golf. All around you, verdant vines and swaying trees create the impression that you are miles from your nearest neighbor. You’ll also find plenty of lounge chairs. The brilliant desert sunsets make every evening feel like a special occasion. Celebrate with steaks seared on the grill and pair with your favorite wine. Relax in the glow of the enormous gas fire pit, or retreat inside to take advantage of one of the two indoor gas fireplaces (in the dining room and in the master suite). When it’s time to party, the newly renovated chef’s kitchen has everything you need for epic entertaining, including an extra-large refrigerator and ample counter space. Bring your own groceries or have our dedicated concierge stock the pantry and refrigerator for your arrival. Even better, you can hire our private chef! With space to eat indoors or dine alfresco, you’ll enjoy seating for up to 24 guests either way. With its luxury amenities and flexible sleeping arrangements, The Polo House is always in high demand.

ALL GUESTS MUST ABIDE BY THE FOLLOWING We want you to make fabulous memories in your vacation rental. Please read through the following house rules and ONLY request to book if you and your guests can follow them. You will be asked to acknowledge these rules when booking, and failure to follow them will be considered a violation of the rental agreement. Most guests have no problem enjoying themselves while being respectful of city law, the property, and our neighbors. CITY LAW NOW PROHIBITS MUSIC AND PARTIES As of January 2021, city ordinance 95C effectively prohibits parties and any kind of noise (including from portable speakers) in the backyard of vacation rentals. This order is in effect 24/7. This is not our rule—this is city law and will be strictly enforced at any vacation rental in Indio. Similar laws are in place in Palm Springs and other localities due to increasing complaints from residential neighbors. We know this may disappoint some guests. Unfortunately, it is what the city requires in order to continue permitting vacation rentals without disturbing long-term residents. Normal noise levels (normal conversation, kids splashing in the pool) are fine. However, noise above this level and any music will likely prompt complaints from the neighbors. Neighbors have been asked to contact Desert VIP Services directly in response to a noise violation. If the violation continues, the city has established a vacation rental hotline that residents can call to request police assistance and a citation. Any fines (from the city or HOA) are the responsibility of the guest. If we receive multiple citations for the same property, we may have our vacation rental permit revoked by the city, so we also take noise violations very seriously. Note that noise violations, parties, etc. are a breach of the rental agreement, which gives Desert VIP Services the right to enter the property without notice. We also reserve the right to evict guests in response to a violation of the rental agreement. If you have questions, please refer to the rental agreement or ask us. Bottom line: Consider the noise level that you would want from neighbors at home, and do the same in your rental. If you are considering hosting an event (small wedding, birthday party, etc.), please contact us before booking. You may be able to obtain a special event permit from the city of Indio. However, we cannot guarantee approval, and any city fees are your responsibility. NOISE METERS Like many vacation rental managers, we use decibels readers to send alerts when the noise level crosses the threshold allowed by our city. The noise meters do not record conversations. In the event that we are alerted, we will text and/or call. If there is no response or the noise continues to exceed city limits, we will make an in-person visit. ADDITIONAL GUESTS Your rental agreement will specify how many guests you are contracted to bring. Any additional guests require prior written approval. City code limits the number of guests allowed in a rental (both overnight and during the day), and we also like to know who may be onsite in the event of an emergency. Overnight guests beyond what is listed, in addition to being pre-approved, must pay an extra fee. Discovery of additional persons at the property without prior approval will result in eviction and forfeiture of security deposit. The city also has new ordinances regarding parking and trash at vacation rentals. Parking is only allowed in designated spots and, in some cases, on the street directly in front of the rental. Parking in front of other homes is strictly prohibited by the city. Trash must remain out of public view, except when it is in the proper containers for the purpose of trash removal by the city. AGE MINIMUMS While we welcome guests of all ages, the person signing the rental agreement must be at least 30 years old. We reserve the right to decline or cancel a booking if the age minimum is not met. CONFETTI, PETS, POOL HEATING Please note that water balloons and confetti are not allowed. We have had problems with these items getting into the pool and landscaping, and they are very difficult to remove. We ask that you leave them at home. All pets must be pre-approved and are not guaranteed to be pre-approved. An additional pet fee of $150 per dog is in addition to the rate quoted. Note that the pool is heated only upon request and for an additional daily fee (not included in the rental rate). We need at least 24 hours to get the pool up to temperature, so please let us know before your stay if you would like this service. Pool heating is highly recommended October through April.
