Nice little extras
We were left a Battle of wine, crackers & cheese. Condo was decorated with extra touches. We’ve stayed at a dozen Legacy condos and an extra effort was put into the decor that made it feel a bit more luxurious.

An exquisite place to stay
This truly comfortable, very private and full of 'feel-at-home' spirit studio at the heart of the great location in the desert is above and beyond any standards one can expect from a medium-small place to stay. An amazing balcony, very peaceful and cozy; very clean and illuminated bathroom with a lot of space; tasteful room decor - these are just the small part of this beautiful studio features that come to mind. Community location is perfectly situated so it's very easy to get in and out of the community. The studio itself is perfectly clean and well maintained. We, indeed, enjoyed the gorgeous view of the mountains surrounding the Legacy Villas. Loved the charm of this studio - mainly because it does not give you the routine 'studio-for-rent' vibe at all. We were in town for a PowerTrip music festival event and coming back to this studio was very peaceful and relaxing. We are extremely grateful to our hostess. Unfortunately, we didn't have an opportunity to express our thanks in person to her which is, indeed, doesn't diminish our impressions at all. Thank you, Ann, for your hospitality, we definitely will rent your studio again if we are in and around La Quinta!

Lovely stay
Lovely room, beautifully decorated with a Tuscan sense. In view of surprisingly chilly weather, we really appreciated the gas fireplace and great soaker tub! We also appreciated the covered deck with dining table and view of the nearby mountain. With the cooler weather, the TV tables were a great asset for eating indoors, while watching TV or listening to music channels. The pool and hot tub were very close by. The resort property was lovely, and within short driving distance to every amenity. Ann graciously provided wine and cookies for our arrival. We really enjoyed meeting her; she is a lovely hostess, who was unobtrusive but helpful, and we wished we might have had greater opportunity to get to know her! We would definitely recommend her lovely place! Elaine and Ian

Ann’s tastefully decorated studio apartment had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our week in La Quinta. A highlight is the gorgeous view off the well-appointed upstairs patio of our room of the mountains and pool area. It was a delight to walk in and find wine and cheese and a kind note from the hostess waiting for us! The bed was amazingly comfortable and, being here in winter, we thoroughly enjoyed the warmth of the fireplace in our bedroom. Thank you Ann!

Amazing stay for Coachella music festival
Our stay was wonderful. Ann was very helpful and answered all our questions. Her place was cozy, quite and comfortable. Only two suggestions would be to add full length mirror because it would of been nice to check our outfits out before heading to Coachella. And Wi-Fi was very spotty and at times very frustrating. Overall we loved our stay and we would highly recommend this lovely place. Thank you Ann!

Everything in the suite was clean, well-appointed and just what is needed for a nice getaway. I call it a suite because this place functions like a nice master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a balcony. Loved the proximity of this place, just steps away to one of several local pools, parking, etc. Enjoying coffee and breakfast/lunch on the balcony was relaxing.

Although we live in the desert (NW valley outside Phoenix) Palm Desert is delightfully different. Accommodations wonderful, quick response to a towel problem and help with understanding how to operate the outside door. Would have liked stronger wattage for reading in bed. Grounds are splendid and right aside beautiful mountains! Felt like I was in Portugal with the architecture and paint colors of villas.

My wife and I stayed in Ann's unit for 11 days and found it to be exactly as described in the listing. The patio was especially nice with its large seating area and fantastic view of the surrounding mountains and grounds. Leaving a nice red wine on the patio table was a very thoughtful touch and we very much enjoyed meeting Ann and chatting by the pool. We'd definitely stay at her studio again next time we're in La Quinta.

Cute and cozy La Quinta Condo
This is a very nice and cozy, well-appointed condo in a great La Quinta location. Just be sure that if you’re booking during a colder time of year, that you’re aware there’s no indoor dining table so you might be drinking your coffee while sitting on the bed. Other than that, it’s a terrific place to stay.

The round table to the right of the bed could be used for coffee or food... just slide the chair near the entry up to it. Sorry you missed it. You're so right that eating on the bed is not a good solution. There's always next time but glad you enjoyed yourself otherwise.

Studio units have kitchenettes (as stated in the description). What you need to rent is a one bedroom unit which has a bigger kitchen area BUT then the bedroom and bathroom is much smaller. Also, guests have used the large round table next to the bed for the computer with the chair provided or outside on the deck dining table.

Everything you need
This is an upstairs studio unit. There is a nice, perfectly sized balcony that we had every meal on. You are facing another unit but can see peaks of the pool and the mountains around the other units. The king bed is comfy. There is a k-cup coffee maker with a selection of k-cups and creamer if you don’t get to the store right away. The kitchenette is tiny but has a fridge, microwave, cutting boards, plates, bowls, glassware and silverware. I had a number of questions prior to arrival and Ann was wonderful and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back!

We loved staying at Legacy Villas. Our unit was amazing. Our friends stayed in a 3 bedroom and it was equally amazing. The property is very clean, with a variety of pools to choose from and close to Old Town, shopping, and dining. I felt very safe for our daughter to meet up with her friends and roam the private community. The mountain back-drop made is so magical. With COVID - they made sure precautions were in place with number of people at the pool. I highly recommend!
