Amazing property and customer service
Everything about this house and the property managers was amazing. They were super responsive, accommodating and super nice. It made the experience that much better. It was the perfect spot for my bachelorette party and I will 100% be back. The house has privacy but is close to the downtown palm desert area. The only thing that would be better is the barroom situation got a little tight at times. But there was 14 girls in one house.

Stunning and family friendly!
We absolutely enjoyed our time here. The property itself is situated on a beautiful lot that backs up to private mountains. The home is stunning inside and out with beautiful design and very comfortable living areas. Both kids and adults spent time in both beautiful pools and we will definitely be returning at some point. Jen is one of the most responsive and professional property managers we have ever dealt with. She was unbelievably responsive and so eager to communicate. This is an A+ property and organization. Highly recommend.

Perfect spot for families who like to hike
Base Camp is at the foot of many hiking trails in Palm Desert, the location and the house are both amazing. The outdoor space is full of natural beauty. We stayed there for a few days and immediately booked a return stay. This house is our favourite.

Plenty of Space!
We stayed at Base Camp for 4 nights and had a blast! We had at least 1 person in each room and had plenty of space, it did not feel crowded at all. I believe that Parties planning on staying there at maximum occupancy could do so and be very comfortable. The back yard is also very spacious and the pool has plenty of chair and towels and umbrellas — it feels like you’re at a resort pool. The kitchen has all the necessary equipment, flatware, cutlery, etc. (unlike some vacation homes) and the bedrooms have plenty of towels and soaps — all the necessities Would definitely recommend!

Great Desert Getaway
We had a great time! Really enjoyed the beach volleyball court, that was a big highlight! The view from the jacuzzi is gorgeous, very peaceful. All mattresses were very comfortable, everyone was appreciative of that. Bathroom accessibility was a problem in the sense that only 4 of the 9 bedrooms had a bathroom connected to them. Overall, it was a great home and we had a wonderful trip.

Outstanding and gorgeous property. Beautiful and well appointed. Wonderul semi private setting. Its exactly as described and photographed.We had a great and fun time with all the outdoor pools and games. The Hammocks are a plus and so is the fire pit and the outdoor BBQ and dining area - so beautiful. Indoors well appointed with suble, calming, beautiful furnishings and great beds! One very slight issue - need more bath/toilets for the number of bedrooms they have as the present numbers not sufficient in my experience - although I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Our office stayed here for our visioning retreat weekend, and it was perfect for what we needed! The bedrooms were spacious, the kitchen was perfect for hosting our team dinners, and everything was clean and nicely furnished. The outdoor space was an amazing backdrop and perfect for early morning yoga. I definitely recommend this place!

Base Camp is all it is said to be in the other reviews and more! The photos make it look great but don't do it justice because it is all at least as good as it looks in the photos. We all had a brilliant and meaningful time together staying there and would do so again in a heartbeat when visiting Palm Desert again!! Top marks all round!!!

Loved our Thanksgiving in the Desert!
Our extended family (ages 3-65) had an amazing time at the Royale home. We had plenty of space to play, relax, and feast during our Thanksgiving vacation. The home is well stocked and decorated. We liked being able to move the flexible outdoor furniture around as we needed. The property manager was very responsive to questions and someone came out to help us figure out the lights and TV. We would definitely come again!

Great Vacation Home
The house is exactly as pictured. Beautiful in every way. Check in and Check out was easy. The management was responsive to all our requests. Each room was more beautiful then then next. The views in the backyard cannot be beat. We felt very secluded. You will see some hikers off in the distance but nothing intrusive and from doing the hike you cannot see much of the house as its covered by a lot of palm trees. Our whole experience was Amazing. One thing I would note. This is not a house of night owls. The house has VERY strict quiet hours at 9pm. The exterior speakers and lights all turn off at curfew. We received nightly texts reminding us to be inside....the fines start at $1,000K if these hours are not met. Ultimately, we just moved the party into the house at night.

Perfect for large groups who want to unplug and relax
My old college pals and I had a fantastic stay at Base Camp. The pools were wonderful, the landscaping was lovely, and all of the rooms were very comfortable. Jen, the host, was very responsive and gave very detailed check-in and check-out instructions. We stayed for a week and only left the property to get groceries, hike on the trails, and get date shakes because we enjoyed our time "at camp" so much. No one wanted to leave and we all agreed it was one of the best vacations we've taken in a long time. Pro tip: there are umbrella holders in the shallow "shelf" areas of the pool!
