DAY - Daydream

At Daydream, the house is as much the destination as the desert beyond. This three-bedroom midcentury escape in Twentynine Palms brings friends together for pool days against a mountain backdrop, friendly competition in the game room, and long evenings between the hot tub and fire pit. Set on five acres, with a private soaking casita and inviting spaces to gather, it's a place to make the most of your time away.

Step through a courtyard framed by desert plants and a beautiful shade tree into a home that feels bright, open, and full of character. Exposed wood beams stretch across the vaulted living room ceiling, a dramatic stone fireplace anchors the soft white seating, and wide archways connect the gathering spaces. The midcentury architecture brings warmth and personality without sacrificing comfort. It's easy to imagine everyone settling in here, with conversations carrying between the kitchen and living room before the group heads outside for another afternoon in the sun.

-Outdoor Amenities-
The backyard is made for afternoons that turn into evenings without anyone needing to leave. The long, private swimming pool takes center stage, with loungers for stretching out between dips and rugged mountains rising beyond the fence. An adjoining in-ground hot tub offers another way to unwind, especially when the air begins to cool.

A built-in BBQ sits beneath a covered patio, making outdoor meals an easy part of the day. Bring everyone together for dinner, then move over to the propane fire pit, where Adirondack chairs circle the flames and the desert sky becomes the evening's entertainment.

Beyond the fully fenced backyard, Daydream's five-acre setting opens to expansive desert scenery. Agave, cacti, and mature trees give the grounds their character, while the enclosed entry courtyard offers a quieter setting to enjoy the garden and a little shade. Here, the outdoor spaces feel like an extension of the home rather than somewhere you simply step out to visit.

-Living Area-
Inside, the main living room has the easygoing feel of a stylish desert gathering place. The combination of rich wood beams, a rugged stone fireplace, sculptural white sofas, and warm floors creates a space that feels both striking and comfortable.

There's plenty of room to spread out without losing the sense of being together. Settle into the sofas for an evening of conversation, claim one of the armchairs for a quieter moment, or enjoy the natural light streaming through the windows. The open layout and graceful archways keep the living room connected to the rest of the house, making it a natural gathering spot throughout the day.

-Kitchen and Dining-
Daydream's bright kitchen is designed for the kind of meals that bring everyone back together. White cabinetry, dark stone countertops, and a gas range create a clean, modern space, while the island with teal barstools gives friends somewhere to sit, chat, or help with dinner. A dedicated coffee station makes mornings easy.

The adjacent dining area offers space to share a meal, whether you're putting together breakfast before exploring Joshua Tree National Park or cooking a relaxed dinner after a full day at the house. With the patio nearby and a BBQ outside, meals can move easily between the kitchen, dining room, and open air.

-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-
Daydream has three bedrooms with two king beds and one queen bed, each offering a comfortable place to recharge after a day of swimming, exploring, or spending time together.

One king bedroom has a warm, understated style with a rattan chair, decorative round mirrors, and a door opening to the patio. The queen bedroom brings a more playful personality, with a colorful green-and-teal mural behind the bed, plush furnishings, and sliding glass doors that connect it to the outdoors.

Two bathrooms are located inside the main house. One features a marble-finished shower, while the other has a tub-shower combination with dark tile.

The third bathroom is something special: a separate outdoor casita devoted to bathing and relaxation. Inside, a deep bathtub for two sits against a richly textured wood wall, framed by elegant lighting. It's a lovely spot to escape for a long, unhurried soak with a glass of wine after the day's adventures. This casita is a separate bathroom space, not an additional bedroom.

-Game Room-
For a change of pace, head to Daydream's dedicated game room, where a little friendly competition can easily take over the afternoon. Challenge your group to air hockey, foosball, or arcade basketball, with additional games to keep the fun going.

When it's time for a break from keeping score, the room also has a sectional sofa and TV for a casual movie night or a relaxed hangout. It's an especially welcome addition for groups traveling together, giving everyone another place to enjoy the house on their own terms.

-Surrounding Area-
Downtown Twentynine Palms, downtown Joshua Tree and Joshua Tree National Park's West Entrance are all within reach. Spend the day hiking among boulders and Joshua trees, browsing local shops and galleries, booking a sound bath at the Integratron or trying the area's independent restaurants and bars, then come back to mountain views, open skies and a quiet evening.

The entire house and property are yours to enjoy! Please note that a few supply closets stay locked to store rental supplies.

The locked supply closets are inside the home.

A personal vehicle is necessary to get around in this area - rideshare apps are not guaranteed.

Please note that Daydream is in a remote location, and the final stretch to the home is on dirt roads, so please take it slow. The dirt roads are maintained, and a four-wheel drive car is not necessary, but please note that the dirt road conditions vary and may have bumps and ruts, particularly after rainstorms.

Please follow the GPS directions in your check-in instructions exactly. Do not use Apple Maps, as it may give incorrect directions to the property.

-Pool and Hot Tub Rules-
Please shower before and after using the pool or hot tub, and rinse away dirt, oils and lotions before entering. Children under 14 must be supervised by an adult at all times. Proper swim attire is required; no street clothes or denim. Pets, glass, alcohol, food, diving, jumping, running and rough play are not permitted in the pool and hot tub area, and large floats or rafts are not allowed. Keep the hot tub cover secured when not in use, do not stand or sit on it, and do not add hot water from the stove. Misuse or excessive dirtiness may result in an additional cleaning or maintenance charge.

-Desert Climate-
During extreme heat, the cold-water supply may feel warm. This is a natural result of desert temperatures, not a plumbing issue. Air conditioning can typically cool a home about 20 degrees below the outdoor temperature, so when it is over 100°F outside, indoor temperatures may stay near 80°F regardless of the thermostat setting. Please stay hydrated, limit strenuous activity during peak heat and never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle.

-House-Specific Rules-
► Please keep music at a reasonable volume and turn it off by the start of quiet hours.

-Pool Heating Fee-
Should you wish to have the pool heated to 85 degrees, please notify us in advance of your arrival, as there will be a supplemental charge per day for this service due to high fuel costs in this area. If you'd like the pool heated for multiple days, we ask that days be consecutive to conserve energy, thank you! Pool heating is not usually necessary May through September. Please note that we will need at least 24 hours' notice to heat the pool.

► $200 first night, $100 each night after

During the winter months, please be aware that colder outdoor temperatures may cause the pool to feel cooler than its maintained temperature of 85°F. We kindly ask that you ensure this temperature meets your comfort level before submitting a request, as refunds cannot be issued on this basis.

-Pool Heating Details-
If you would like the pool heated for multiple days, the days must be consecutive to conserve energy. Pool heating is usually unnecessary from May through September. The heater runs from about 7:30am to 11pm. In winter, colder outdoor temperatures can make the pool feel cooler than its maintained temperature, so please make sure that temperature suits you before requesting pool heat, as refunds cannot be issued on this basis.

-Hot Tub Heating-
No fee to heat the hot tub! Please note that because the hot tub is an in-ground hot tub, it is not heated constantly in order to conserve energy. It will take around 30 minutes to heat to 104 degrees from ambient temperature.

-Pool and Hot Tub Service-
The pool and hot tub are serviced every Friday. Service timing may vary based on our technician's schedule. He will not approach the house but will go directly through to the backyard.

-Pet Policy-
We welcome your dogs! There is a $100 per dog per stay fee, limit of 2 dogs maximum. Please note on your reservation how many dogs you are bringing. There is an unauthorized pet fee of $500. Please use the provided dog sheets before allowing your dogs on any furniture. Cats and other pets are not allowed due to the owner's severe allergy.

-Wildlife & Safety-
The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it's important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, pets, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. Dogs should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.

-Security Camera-
For your security, there are exterior cameras located at the front of the house and the front of the garage, which monitor the driveway, vehicles and occupancy. There are no cameras inside the home or facing any private areas, including the pool and hot tub areas.

-Cell Service-
Cell phone coverage in the area may be limited or unavailable depending on your carrier. Wi-Fi is available at the property.

-Damage Waiver Policy-
Each reservation requires either a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver.
