Step into our realm, where our foremost mission is to not just meet, but to truly exceed our guests' expectations. Our bedrock is the art of curating indelible moments, a dedication that shines through in our remarkable average rating of 4.9 stars across various major booking platforms.

Our journey commenced four years ago when Michael, Collin, and Tana embarked on their ownership of a vacation rental nestled in the inviting Montage community of Indio, CA. This prime location situates you a leisurely stroll away from the festival fairgrounds in the vibrant Coachella Valley.

In our early days as homeowners, we engaged a management company, only to be met with frustration due to their subpar performance. It became increasingly evident that we could excel at this endeavor ourselves. This realization led us to take the reins, managing bookings firsthand, curating our own dedicated cleaning crew, and personally overseeing the check-in and check-out processes. The outcome was transformative. A few years later and our rapid response times and heartfelt commitment to enhancing guest experiences reverberated in an astounding tally of 1200 5-star reviews. Today, our portfolio encompasses over 40 high-performing properties, spanning the tranquil desert landscapes to the picturesque coastal enclaves of Dana Point, San Clemente and Laguna Beachfront.

Our hands-on approach finds expression in our willingness to invest our resources and time into refining every detail, from furnishings to bedding and beyond. Our belief in fostering a partnership of authenticity drives us to elevate your rental property to prime condition, enabling you to confidently set premium rental rates that resonate within your distinctive community.

卫生间水压太小了，洗漱洗澡都不舒服

We loved our stay in this house on balboa island! The location was great for us and our kids. It was super easy access to the little beaches, the ferry and a nice Mexican restaurant on the door step. Plus a small kids playground and basket ball court on the street. Nice morning walk to the Main Street for coffee. The house was comfortable and each bedroom had a bathroom. It was all clean and nicely presented.

When my VRBO was cancelled the night before our girls trip, I was panicking. Thankfully this incredible place happened to be available and it was way better than we could have imagined! Michael booked our stay immediately and the online guide was very helpful. We loved our time at the historic Balboa house. It was cute, clean and walking/ ferry distance to shops, restaurants and the beach. Thank goodness our original VRBO was cancelled, this was so much better!

This was one of my favorite Airbnb stays in a while. Balboa Island is a hidden treasure with the friendliest people. Our home was beautifully decorated, and each room felt like its own private suite. Plenty of restaurants and cafés in walking distance as well as the boardwalk. Loved everything about it.

The house was in a very nice area on the island, walkable and cute. The house check-in instructions were easy to follow and all in one place. We definitely would stay there again.
