Summary:

**THE YUCCA: YOUR PRIVATE 8-BEDROOM DESERT SANCTUARY IN DESERT HOT SPRINGS**



Imagine stepping through the gates of your own private resort—no shared spaces, no other guests, just your group and complete solitude. Welcome to The Yucca, an 8-bedroom, 8-bathroom bohemian-luxury retreat designed for groups seeking an exclusive desert escape. Whether you're gathering 20+ people for a milestone celebration, a family reunion, or a friends' getaway, this one-of-a-kind property delivers the privacy and amenities of a high-end resort at a fraction of the cost.



**THE SPACE: BOHEMIAN CHARM MEETS LUXURY COMFORT**



The Yucca is organized as a private main house plus five independent guest suites, all clustered around a stunning courtyard that serves as your personal gathering hub.



The Private Main House features a full-sized, fully equipped kitchen and spacious living area. It includes three elegant bedrooms, with the primary suite offering a lavish ensuite bathroom and a private balcony overlooking the tranquil courtyard—the perfect retreat for a host couple or VIPs in your group.



Each of the five guest suites is designed as its own private sanctuary. You'll find plush bedding, intricate tapestries, and earthy tones throughout—creating the bohemian aesthetic that makes The Yucca feel like a curated escape, not a typical vacation rental. Several suites include kitchenettes or laundry rooms for added convenience and independence, so guests can easily manage their own coffee, snacks, and laundry without relying on shared facilities.



**THE HEART OF THE PROPERTY: YOUR PRIVATE COURTYARD OASIS**



The expansive courtyard is where the magic happens. Picture yourself lounging by a shimmering saltwater pool with a tanning ledge, soaking in a hot tub, and gathering around lounge chairs and fringed umbrellas with your entire group. This is your exclusive outdoor living room.



**FULL AMENITIES FOR EVERY TYPE OF GATHERING**



Beyond the pool and hot tub, The Yucca is equipped with everything you need to entertain, relax, and create lasting memories:



* Community Room with a second, state-of-the-art kitchen—ideal for meal prep, catering setups, or group cooking sessions

* Fully equipped Fitness Room with exercise equipment for staying active during your stay

* Large outdoor BBQ grill and fire pit for group dinners, s'mores, and evening gatherings

* Spacious covered outdoor living area with dining for 10, perfect for meals and conversations under the stars

* Free parking on premises and free street parking for multiple vehicles

* Air conditioning, heating, high-speed WiFi, and TV in common areas

* Washer, dryer, dishwasher, and full kitchen basics including refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, and microwave



**BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS: ROOM FOR EVERYONE**



With 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, there's comfortable accommodations for your entire group with privacy when needed. Bed linens are provided, and you'll find extra pillows and blankets, wine glasses, dishes, silverware, and dining tables ready to use.



**KITCHEN & DINING: COOK TOGETHER OR CALL IN THE PROS**



Two full kitchens mean your group can prepare meals together or split up if you prefer. A full-size kitchen in the main house and a state-of-the-art kitchen in the community room give you flexibility. The spacious covered outdoor dining area seats 10, and you can expand to the fire pit area for a more casual gathering.



If cooking isn't your thing, you can arrange for chef services and event planning assistance—perfect for special celebrations. Daily housekeeping, including dishwashing and kitchen cleanup, is available for an additional fee (24-hour notice required).



**WHY GROUPS CHOOSE THE YUCCA**



This is more than a rental—it's a group experience designed by someone who understands what large gatherings need. The layout respects privacy (each suite can feel independent) while the common areas naturally draw everyone together. The bohemian-luxury aesthetic creates an Instagram-worthy backdrop for every moment, and amenities like the fitness room, pool, fire pit, and two kitchens mean there's always something to do and multiple ways to gather.



Whether it's a birthday celebration, wedding weekend, family reunion, corporate retreat, or friends' adventure, The Yucca accommodates up to 20+ guests comfortably.



**LOCATION: DESERT HOT SPRINGS**



The property is located in Desert Hot Springs, a desert community known for its natural hot springs and relaxed, resort-style atmosphere. The area is quiet and private—perfect if you're seeking peace and seclusion from urban bustle. The property itself offers a self-contained experience where you won't need to leave to have an amazing time, though the surrounding area provides the authentic desert backdrop guests come to California's deserts to experience.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Overall, we had a really good time. The rooms were spacious and it was great to have king sized beds and ensuites in 7 of the rooms. There was lots of room to prep food in the kitchen and to hang out outside. The property has been renovated but it still needs some work. One of the suite had a broken lock, a few of the high top patio chairs are broken, the patio cushions are stained and the BBQs don’t work very well. The pictures of the gym look nice but many of the weights are missing. Inside the common area is nice but seating is very limited.

Great deal on a good property!

Booked this space for my husbands 30th birthday with friends, it was a nice space! The amenities weren’t as much as we had hoped, but the space and the rooms were nice. The beds weren’t super comfortable, and some things needed fixing, but they were great and super responsive!

Beautiful Location for Small Party or Wedding

Great property and staff. Please note that the first key has the keys to the deadbolts. First keypad had issues, but you can use the manual keys. Second deadbolt wouldnt open, so we went in through the first room adjoing area. You should be fine after that. that

Great Desert Sanctuary

Our stay at the Yucca Hotel Villa was absolutely perfect for our family getaway. The property was even more spacious than we expected and matched the photos perfectly. With a group of 16, we found there was plenty of room for everyone. All the rooms were clean and roomy, and the fully stocked kitchen and large living room in the main house comfortably accommodated the entire group for meals and entertainment. The highlight of the property was definitely the pool and BBQ area. The pool was a refreshing escape from the desert heat, and the BBQ space was large enough to prepare and serve everything we brought. Check-in was a breeze, although we did have a minor hiccup initially when the keys weren't in the original lockbox. However, APEK Rentals was incredibly responsive and quickly helped us resolve the issue. We also encountered a couple of minor problems—one of the AC units leaked, and a lock on one of the outside rooms wasn’t working. Despite these small issues, the overall experience was fantastic, and APEK's excellent communication more than made up for any inconvenience. Our family will definitely return to this wonderful place, and we highly recommend the Yucca Hotel Villa for any large group looking for an amazing getaway.

The view of the mountains is beautiful and it’s a fun house that can fit a ton of people. But if you’re looking for a nice rental and not a party pad, there are probably better options out there. Check in was really difficult. The keypad information I was sent was incorrect. The "contact host" number listed in VRBO was incorrect. Most of the keypad combos didn’t work. Some of the lockbox combos didn’t work. Some of the lockboxes had keys that didn’t fit the door. This was the dirtiest vacation rental experience we’ve ever had. The fridge had been cleared but not wiped down so there was food splatter. Unwiped surfaces in bathrooms. We found wet dirty toilet paper clinging to a floorboard. There was a broken couch sitting in the middle of a patio. A detached screen door leaning on a wall in the patio. Half of the lawn chairs were broken. A bathroom mirror that had fallen off the wall was leaning on its side. I opened a cabinet looking for board games and the door came right off in my hand. The sliding door to the main house was missing a lock. I reached out multiple times about it and got responses that sounded like a bot. We finally ended up using a broomstick to secure the door at night. Communication with Apek Rental was automated and got really frustrating. We paid to have the pool heated using links in VRBO, but the pool person said they had never received a message about turning on the heat from VRBO, so the pool heated a full day later than expected.

Lies, finger pointing, dangerous tripping hazards, pool and spa problems

I booked this property five months in advance. There was an extra fee of 600 charged when I reserved it, and I asked what it was. Apek Rentals told me it was a refundable security deposit. It turns out, it was not, it's an extra VRBO fee. There are numerous blind steps throughout the property that we kept falling on. This was particularly alarming when my 81 year old father took a pretty hard fall. We paid for the pool to be heated upon arrival, and it was freezing. We had problems with the jacuzzi the entire time. It would spontaneously lower the temperature, as well as drain, then spontaneously re-fill. Multiple drains on the property were very slow, and one of the locks for the doors was broken, so we had to enter through an adjoining room. And 40 minutes before checkout, the adjoining room key pad locked us out. I would NOT recommend a property managed by APEK Rentals.
