What brings you to Yucca Dunes?

When you are choosing a home for a group, we like to start with a few questions. Why are you traveling, and who is coming? Most of all, what would you love to have time for once everyone is finally together?

Maybe it is a family trip, with grandparents, children, and cousins who rarely get a whole weekend in the same place. Maybe it is friends, and the conversations that happen while breakfast is cooking or while everyone argues over who gets the next turn on the court.

Yucca Dunes is a Tuscan-style villa on 2.3 acres in Bermuda Dunes, with room for up to 16 guests. Outside, the pool, water slide, spa, courts, and putting green give you plenty of ways to spend time together. Inside, the kitchen and living room give you somewhere to cook, catch up, watch a movie, or settle into the conversation you have been meaning to have for months.

You can spend the afternoon doing different things and still end up around the same table in the evening. A smaller family or a couple gets that freedom too. Some guests have spent their whole trip here without leaving the property. We understand: there is quite a lot to enjoy before anyone needs to find the car keys.

A day at the house

The kitchen has a stone-topped island with stools, wood cabinets and a six-burner range under a tall white hood.

Morning

The day starts at whatever pace you like. You might be the first one up, with a quiet moment before the house stirs. Or someone is already making breakfast, and the smell from the kitchen is doing a very good job of getting everyone out of bed. Breakfast is the one alarm clock in the house that nobody tries to snooze.

The group does not have to move as one. Head to the putting green, start a friendly game of pickleball (the court doubles for casual tennis), or leave room for a morning stretch. Or pull up a stool in the kitchen and keep the cook company. Supervising the toast is a position of real responsibility.

If a morning swim is part of your plan, talk to us about pool heating before you arrive. Pool and spa heating cost extra, and we will help you choose the option that fits your stay.

Afternoon

By afternoon there may be a game on the court, someone in the pool, and a small audience offering advice that nobody requested. Join in, take a turn on the water slide, or find a seat and enjoy the company. The grown-ups who said they would only watch the slide tend to change their minds.

Pickleball, the basketball half court, the putting green, and the bocce lane give a friendly tournament plenty to work with. Fair warning: a bocce lane can turn the gentlest grandparent into a fierce competitor. Indoors, the pool table and arcade corner keep the games going, so nobody has to love the same game for the afternoon to feel shared.

You can also head out into the Coachella Valley for lunch or a whole day, then come back to a house where everyone can settle in again. Some days you will want a plan. Other days, the pool is the plan.

Evening

As evening arrives, the kitchen fills up again. Someone takes charge of dinner, someone offers to help, and someone discovers that keeping everyone company is also an essential contribution.

Carry the meal out to the long patio table. Even a group chat that cannot agree on a restaurant can agree on “outside, at the house.” Hear about everyone’s day, reopen the afternoon’s disputed bocce score (it will be appealed at least twice), and talk without watching the clock. The pool glows beside the house as the evening settles in.

After dinner, your group might choose a movie in the living room, a swim, or the spa if you have arranged heating. Or stay at the table a little longer and let the evening find its own rhythm. The slide is fun after dark too, for anyone with energy left.

The spaces

When the day is done, everyone needs a bed. All 5 bedrooms are on one level, with 4.5 bathrooms, so you can plan who sleeps where around the people coming with you. A little planning before arrival makes it easier for everyone to unpack and feel at home.

The primary bedroom has a king bed and two twin beds, so a family can share one room. Guest Bedroom 1 has a king bed and an en-suite bathroom, a good place for a couple to settle in after a full day together.

Guest Bedrooms 2 and 4 each have three twin beds, so friends or siblings can share a room and still have their own beds. Guest Bedroom 4 also has an en-suite bathroom. Guest Bedroom 3 has a queen bed and a twin bed, which suits a couple traveling with a child, or guests happy to share.

The kitchen is where everyone drifts back to. Pull up a stool at the island, help with a meal, or stay for the stories while someone else cooks. The living room is for your favorite game or movie, though choosing the movie may take longer than watching it.

Outside, the pool, courts, lawn, and long table let the day move between play, rest, and meals together. If anyone in your group has specific access needs, ask us about the layout before you book, and we will help you plan.

Make the stay your own

Time together

Come with friends, bring the generations together, or make room for a smaller family trip or time as a couple. For a company team stay or a visit with business guests, tell us about your group and your plans. We will help you work out the sleeping arrangements and how the house fits your stay.

A little planning

Before you arrive, read the house rules together and tell us how many guests, cars, and approved pets you plan to bring. If you are thinking of inviting extra visitors, ask us first so we can confirm what is permitted. Sorting out those details early lets everyone arrive, settle in, and enjoy the house with consideration for the neighbors.

Good to know

Ask us what guests love about Yucca Dunes: the pool and slide, room for everyone, dinners outside, and courts and games. The outdoors is the amenity here, day and night. We would start on the putting green or pickleball while the pool warms, then have dinner at the long table and use the slide after dark. Some guests have stayed the whole trip without leaving the property. We understand the temptation. Ask about pool and spa heat; it is on demand for a fee.

Planning your stay

  1. How much will a stay at Yucca Dunes cost for our dates and group?

    Your total depends on your dates, how long you stay, how many guests are coming, and any approved pet or optional extras you choose. Enter your trip details on the property page and you will see the full total for your stay, including applicable taxes and fees, before you book. Pool or spa heating is arranged separately and costs extra, so ask us and we will help you plan for it.

  2. Why book Yucca Dunes directly on everydayluxury.net?

    Because you will not find it cheaper anywhere else. Our direct rates on everydayluxury.net beat every other site for the same dates, guests, and extras, and if you do find Yucca Dunes cheaper somewhere else, tell us and we will match it. You also see the full total, including applicable taxes and fees, before you book. The money you save is yours for snacks.

  3. Can we bring our dog to Yucca Dunes?

    Possibly, with our approval before you book. The pet policy is “Pets considered,” so send us your dog’s breed, age, and weight, and we will confirm approval and the pet fee that applies. Approved pets cannot be left unattended in the home, and cats are not allowed. Please settle this with us before the dog starts packing.

  4. Is pool or spa heating included, and how do we arrange it?

    Pool and spa heating are optional and cost extra. The rates we confirmed on October 29, 2026, were $200 a day for pool heating prepaid for every day of the stay, or $250 a day otherwise. Spa-only heating was $70 a night when prepaid for the whole stay, or $120 a night for chosen dates. Contact us to confirm the current options and arrange heating ahead of time, especially if you would like the pool warm when you arrive.

  5. How many cars can our group bring?

    Tell us how many cars you plan to bring before you book, and we will confirm the permitted parking arrangements for your stay. If anyone is arriving in an electric vehicle, there is an EV charger on site; ask us about the connection before you set off.

  6. What if our question is not answered here?

    Ask us. Contact us through everydayluxury.net or from the property page with your dates, your group, and anything you are wondering about, from sleeping plans to the drive to the festival. No question is too small, including questions about the water slide.
