The property includes two private homes positioned on one expansive desert lot, creating an ideal setting for groups who want to spend time together while still enjoying personal space.

At the center of the property is the signature feature that inspired the name Sandhouse — a private sand beach with a full sand volleyball court. This unique space brings an unexpected coastal energy to the desert landscape, making it a favorite gathering spot for guests.

Surrounding the beach area are the estate’s other outdoor amenities, including the pool, spa, sauna, firepit, and multiple lounge areas where guests can relax and take in the wide desert views.

Inside, both homes feature bright, open interiors with large windows that frame the surrounding landscape. Natural textures, warm wood ceilings, and comfortable furnishings create a space that feels modern yet welcoming.

The homes include two living rooms, two kitchens, and large dining areas, allowing groups to cook, gather, and unwind comfortably throughout their stay.

After a day exploring Joshua Tree or enjoying the outdoor amenities, guests often end their evenings soaking in the spa, relaxing in the sauna, or gathering around the firepit beneath the incredible desert night sky.

Desert Environment — What to Expect
The Sandhouse sits in a genuine high desert landscape, and that’s a big part of what makes it extraordinary. It also means guests should be aware of a few things: Desert wildlife is part of the experience. The property is located in natural desert habitat. Guests may encounter lizards, birds, insects, and occasionally other desert animals. This is normal, expected, and a reminder of the wild beauty surrounding you.

To keep everyone comfortable and safe:
∙ Do not leave food or drinks outdoors unattended — this attracts wildlife
∙ Keep doors closed when not in use
∙ Shake out shoes left outside before wearing
∙ If you encounter wildlife, observe from a respectful distance and do not attempt to interact

This is their desert too — we simply get to visit.

House Rules & Quiet Hours
To protect the experience for every guest and neighbor:
∙ Quiet hours are strictly observed from 10PM to 7AM
∙ Use of speakers is strictly prohibited
∙ No outside vendors or events without prior written approval
∙ All waste must be properly disposed of — leave the estate as you found it
∙ Pool and spa areas must be used responsibly
∙ For the security of all guests, exterior cameras are located around the property perimeter.

We trust our guests to treat this estate with the same care and respect they’d want in their own home. Violations of house rules and/or local laws may result in additional charges or security deposit deductions.
