First off the pictures on the website accurately reflected the actual house and it's incredible views. It was a beautiful house with gorgeous views. It was clean and literally everything in the house worked as it was supposed to. On the first night the propane tank on the BBQ ran out and unfortunately the spare was also empty, a staff member was out to the house to replace and refill those tanks within the hour! Eddie the property manager was available and attentive to our needs. We will definitely be returning to this property in the future.

3 nights at Casa Altura

This property was perfect for our party of 4 (2 couples) while we visited Joshua Tree. No fighting over the best bedroom because they are both very similar, each with it’s own bathroom. The kitchen and living areas are spacious and light with large windows looking out over the desert. Loved the hot tub and pool too. And a convenient proximity to the National park. Best restaurant around was Kitchen in the Desert, 18 mins away. Great food and vibe. Would stay here again!

Beautiful desert respite

This was our last stop on a week long road trip hiking at different national parks throughout Nevada, Utah and Arizona and it was a much needed respite! Such a lovely oasis in the desert, the views were great and the pool and hot tub were amazing! We took moonlight swims under the stars and early morning swims after watching the sunrise while sipping coffee. The kitchen was also super well stocked and cooking and eating a meal while watching the sunset was really special. I also enjoyed walking around the area behind the property looking at interesting plants and watching the bunnies and quail run around. The beds and pillows were really comfy, and we loved all the soaps and shampoos too. A wonderful stay!

An oasis in the Joshua Tree area

The property was just perfect for our visit to Joshua Tree! We spent two glorious nights enjoying Casa Altura. The views are spectacular, and the spa was perfect for soothing our tired bones after a day of hiking. Eddie was the most responsive host I have ever had for a vacation rental. If we ever find ourselves back in this area, I will definitely be booking this home.

Great house for Joshua Tree

I don’t know what more you would want from a house - property manager. Communications were all accurate and timely. The property manager provided the heated pool as described, answered all questions and everything is as stated. We loved swimming and relaxing in the hot tub while seeing stars, wildlife and the view. In the middle of the night the local coyotes said hello, scaring my wife but also giving us a really nice moment in our family vacation. The house is stocked, looks like the pics and close to everything, especially the park. Local hiking is easy to access as well, book it.

Stunning Views, a Great Host, and the Perfect Backyard for Our Pup!

Absolutely loved our stay at Casa Altura! The host, Eddie, was fantastic—super responsive, thoughtful, and made sure everything was perfect for our visit. The outdoor space is truly the highlight—gorgeous views, peaceful vibes, and that pool! We spent so much time lounging, swimming, and soaking in the desert sun. Our dog had an amazing time exploring the spacious backyard, which felt totally secure and pet-friendly. Inside, the home is beautifully designed with a great layout, and the kitchen was nicely equipped with everything we needed for cooking and relaxing meals. The location is ideal too—just minutes from town and the park, but it still feels like a private oasis. Highly recommend Casa Altura to anyone looking for a stylish, serene getaway in Joshua Tree. We can’t wait to come back!

OUTSTANDING JT Location & Place "Casa Altura"

Just stayed at Casa Altura & it's PERFECT in every way. LOCATION cannot be beat as situated few blocks from main intersection in JT (so no noise or traffic, but quick and easy access to restaurants etc.), and it's short drive to West entrance of Joshua Tree Nat'l Park. There are SPECTACULAR VIEWS of gorgeous rock formation that are unobstructed & unimpeded by anything from every room, as well as from the large deck, and the patio, pool & jacuzzi area.Inside the 2BR 2BA is chic & comfortable with tech savvy controls & great features throughout; large fully stocked kitchen with a huge island, large dining table (also 2 tables on outside deck), and excellent living room area with turntable, speakers, flatscreen TV & stylish seating area. Good assortment of toys, games, books, DVDs and albums are a bonus. The owner is GREAT; quick to reply & helpful.No need to look elsewhere - if size is right - book it ASAP and you won't be disappointed!
