Peaceful Ladies Weekend

This home had such great vibes! The decor was perfect and the location was so quiet! The ladies in my family enjoyed chilling in the hammocks with a glass of wine after a stroll through the Farmer’s Market and downtown! We are already talking about a return visit!

“Sun”Burst of fun and relaxation

Such a wonderful stay for our little family. We didn’t get to have a proper honeymoon a couple years ago when we were married but we were so fortunate to have our “babymoon” here at the sunburst house. It was everything we hoped for and more, a romantic and peaceful getaway from the “busyness” of Orange County. Although only a couple hours away, feels like your worlds away in Joshua Tree. So quiet and peaceful. Look out the back at night and have a beautiful view of landscape. Enjoy the perfectly set up home and snuggle up with your significant-other. Would definitely stay at the Sunburst House again for a future-getaway.

Cute blue house

Overall we couldn’t ask for anything more. The house was clean, fresh, and cozy. They had awesome candles that made the house smelling amazing. The backyard was just perfect too and relaxing.
