(LV000) Romantic Legacy Villas Studio

As we were travelling I booked this Villa just a day before. So although we received confirmation, we did not receive arrival procedures so assumed there would be an office to check in with. Not so, and security is tight and rude. After a day of travelling no one wants to be told unless they can get in touch with their rental company, they will have to leave. We were scrambling to contact California Vacation Villas, which, after leaving a couple of panicked messages, they were very helpful getting us in to our apartment. This is such a beautiful spot and felt very secure.

good location for my stay, nice property, quiet

Wonderful vacation and the weather was perfect. Nice, clean and comfortable room.

Great studio with just enough supplies for convenience. No need to be cooking.:) . Fridge for cool drinks coffee maker for early morning coffee.

The studio was wonderful! In a secure area. Nice place to relax.

We stayed here for 10 days in May/June 2019. The property is in a gated community, relatively central to the activities we had planned. Fantastic price for the area, and especially good considering the community it was located in. The bed was amazing! Wifi and TV w/ cable, it was really just perfect.

We were very pleased with everything

Perfect for Coachella. La Quinta shuttle stop on the yellow line is about a ten-minute walk. You get so much value for the location and quality of this property. Highly recommend.

Great place and great weather

We enjoyed our studio condo and balcony, the view was gorgeous! Quiet, well kept complex with beautiful pools. We can't wait to go back

This villa was just the ticket for my husband and I to use for our 4 days at the Indian Wells Tennis Tournament, only 3 miles away. We had lunch and dinner out so didn't need a regular kitchen. The small frig held what we needed for breakfast/snacks. Loved the pool and workout facilities. a beautiful spot to come to in the spring!

We have enjoyed staying at Legacy Villas on previous vacations but we were disappointed in the amenities of this room. The furniture was meager - plastic drawers in the bathroom, wire shelves in the main room. We complained that the fireplace was not working, it has been dismantled, and was told that it was not functioning on purpose. We like the fireplace and California Vacation Villas were very helpful in trying to find us another place. We appreciated there help, we just wish that we were told before we went that the fireplace was not working.

I had an amazing weekend at Legacy Villaas, highly recommended great costumer service, the studio was very clean and beautiful. All the Pool areas where outstanding, great views from the desert mountains that are close to the property, over all I had a great time and I definitely will be back again.

Loved our stay and the location. Can't complain about the weather either

Wonderful accommodations and property. Tastefully decorated, well set up with a lot of storage, comfortable sleeping. Balcony provides relaxing additional seating area with lovely mountain views. We appreciated the coffee, plastic/paper cups, plates, utensils. Great proximity to main and satellite pools and fitness room.

The grounds at Legacy Villas are impeccably maintained, as are the pools, Jacuzzis, and fitness center. Our unit was also clean and well stocked with the items that we needed. The guards at the security gate/booth were very polite and helpful. We loved the balcony off our unit and the quiet in that particular area of the villas. The only concern was my wifes, as the bed was not comfortable for her. I on the other hand, thought the bed was fine. It is a temperpedic type of bed, which again causes no problems for me. However, my wife has neck and shoulder issues which require an extremely top notch mattress and pad. So take the comments regarding the bed with a block of salt. Other than that, we had a wonderful time at the villas and this was our second year in a row being there for two weeks and we will be back. Thank you to Meredith and Joy at California Vacation Rentals because they were extremely helpful and quick, very quick, to respond to any questions that I had; Meredith and Joy are top notch! Thank you for the opportunity to rent at Legacy Villas!

place was nice and cozy.

I am a long time resident of La Quinta and had never heard of this property. When my fianc decided to come visit and stay two weeks I wanted something a little more romantic than a regular hotel room. This villa was perfect. There was not one thing we needed that we didn't have. The only issue was since we were staying so long a few items we did need to replace such as paper items and coffee. Also there are not laundry facilities on site so we did need to take our linens etc to be washed outside of the property. Otherwise this location and villa in particular were perfect.

My wife and I recently spent 10 days at one of the studio apartments at Legacy Villas in La Quinta and had a wonderful visit. The space was clean and spacious and outfitted with just enough amenities that we could have our breakfast in our room every morning along with coffee and a nightcap before bed each night. We appreciated having the microwave, coffee maker and small fridge in the room so
that we could easily have some of our own food and snacks readily available.
The actual location of the villas is great for shopping and sightseeing and the grounds are meticulously maintained with beautiful landscaping,
pools and a full service gym. We loved our stay and would gladly recommend this option to our friends!

Another awesome week at Legacy Villas.
Looking forward to staying again next year Spring Break

Accommodation met expectations for me and my wife except for poor quality bed mattress which gave us a very sore back and neck every morning.

The Legacy Villas property is quite beautiful and well maintained. I didn't use the clubhouse, workout facilities, etc., but I walked my dog several times per day and enjoyed the outdoor common areas. They have several pet waste stations, which were very convenient.

But probably half of the fountains on the property were turned off, including the one in the courtyard outside of this studio (you can see it in the balcony photo). It just had water sitting in it the entire 33 days I was a guest there. While it certainly isn't under the control of the unit owner or management company and wouldn't make me not stay here, it was disappointing, because I had looked forward to the relaxing sound.

The studio itself is very nice and just as represented in the photos, with only a few exceptions. The bed cover is different (dark burgundy color) and the current microwave is full-size, which is a plus. Also, the balcony now has a small iron table and two chairs in addition to the lounge chair shown.

As mentioned in a previous review, there is not much of a sound barrier between this and the adjoining unit. It's more like being in another room of the same home rather than in neighboring apartments. From the entryway and bathroom, I could hear their conversations, their baby crying and their dog barking. If you are renting both units, it wouldn't be an issue.

Overall, I had a very nice stay in this studio and would consider renting it again in the future.

Manager's Response

The property management company switched our room several days before our arrival because the A/C wasn't working. It was the same room layout and not far from our original request. The pics online do a nice job of representing the room and amenities, and although we didn't have a full kitchen, the cabinets were well-stocked with basic supplies (plastic-ware, corkscrew, coffee filters, plates, napkins, etc...). Strong wi-fi connection in the room and nice mountain view from the large balcony. The pool areas were very clean and the secure grounds well-kept. I don't feel that with the $85 cleaning fee we should be responsible for taking out our garbage but overall, a very pleasant stay.

If you can handle the heat, summer in Palm Desert is actually not bad. If you can't handle the heat, this rental is everything you need. Ice cold fridge, perfect AC and proximity to multiple pools. We'll be back.

Manager's Response

Condo was clean, tidy and well kept as was the entire condo complex. Had a pleasant and relaxing stay. Friendly and professional service from the property manager. Only a minor issue being lack of pest control in the condo complex (excessive crickets) and a dog barking occasionally in the adjoining condo. Not quite 5 star accommodations but a great value for the price paid. Would absolutely stay here again and will recommend to friends.

Manager's Response

Our second time is this unit. Loved it, plan to stay again next spring break. Joy at California Vacation Villas is wonderful to work with, extremely helpful and friendly.

Manager's Response

Very well presented studio. Nice complex. Easy location. Bar sink with fridge is okay. Tall shower head for short person. Enjoyable stay.

Manager's Response

We loved the property and hope to return in 2017.
Our only complaint would be no ice available 2 or 3 days.

Manager's Response

Great location and great setting (fountains, pools and mountain views). Unfortunately community BBQ was not accessible. Suggestions: additional chair on the balcony and washable plastic dishes rather than paper. Overall, a grat value.

Manager's Response

The property is very well-maintained and better as we thought after reading the description. It was very hot in the second half of August, but we enjoyed it, relaxed and used the pools and the fitness center.The property was not very much frequented, but we found it a plus. The only disadvantage was that the portier was not informed of our arrival. We arrived late in the evening and stayed before the gate until a owner came who was able to contact the owner of our apartment.

Manager's Response

The setting of this complex is wonderful. However, this unit was Grand Central for crickets. I probably removed 6 crickets in my brief time in the unit. Additionally, it was obvious the staff do not clean around and under items.

Manager's Response

Stayed for a week in June. Comfortable studio. Great view of the mountains and quiet court yard with fountains. Loved the wicker lounge chair. Nice to lounge on the patio when we didn't want to go down to the pool in the heat. Plastic utensils, plates and coffee filters provided along with 3 pool towels. Even shampoo etc was provided. Air conditioning worked well, my only complaint is that the AC vent above the patio door rattles a bit. Something may need to be tightened inside the vent. Otherwise wonderful studio, would return.

Manager's Response

We couldn't be happier with this place, it was great and very homey.. Everyone was easy to deal with and it went smoothly. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Manager's Response

We arrived to a clean, spacious two bed room villa. Everything was perfect except the sofa sleeper which was a inflatable mattress.

Manager's Response

Loved the patio. Evening drinks on the patio with the sound of the fountain and the palm trees lit up were awesome. The pools were great. We found one on the back side of property near the mountains, had it pretty much to ourselves for 3 days. Property clean and beautiful. Will stay here again.

Manager's Response

We truly enjoyed our stay at Legacy Villas. We will return in the future. We loved the balcony and the setting. Our only set back was trying to access our unit on the first night with the electronic entry system. The code was faulty, and luckily our neighbours were able to assist us with getting in touch with the right person. This would most certainly not be easy late on a Saturday night.

Manager's Response

As previously everything is just right. No problems. In fact when you hear yourself saying that the only problem is that the fountain is too loud you know you are really in a good place.

Manager's Response

As expected, a nice quiet, albeit smallish studio. Great Internet access throughout the property and pools. Could use additional towels and some real cups and bowls for breakfast coffee. Unknown to us the club house was not yet open due to recent flood damage, although it was scheduled to open later in February.

Manager's Response

Excellent location, super clean and well kept romantic bungalow feel and experience. I would highly recommend this place as it's right next to La Quinta Resort for 1/2 the price.. Easy to walk over for tennis and spa and they have a cool little breakfast place on the property!! Overall a must for VRBO people!

Manager's Response

I rented the studio part of this property. The condo was very quaint and had a nice balcony, large bathroom and a kitchenette. The owner was in the process of upgrading the internet when I first arrived. I don't know how fast the WIFI was before but when he finished it was extremely fast >50mb download speeds. I appreciate all the communication that they had with me prior to my stay. Everything was nice and clean and comfortable. Thanks for the stay.
