Good to know

The Ventana Cove Pickleball Retreat by The Ventana Collection has been completely transformed and is back on the market March 2025. The Heated Saltwater Pool with custom waterfall into the sunken fire pit is a feature you won't find anywhere else. Relax on the pool loungers, bean bag chairs or included inflatable toys. The pooI can be heated all year round. Please contact for pool heating fees (varies by temp and season). The Pickleball Court and pro style Basketball Hoop offer a mountain view backdrop and fully fenced in play area so you can spend more time dinking and dunking than fetching. The living space features an open plan design with a plush low line sofa and a bright wingback chair that sit opposite the wall mounted 55" 4K TV with access to Netflix, Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video to keep everyone entertained. For additional guests, the couch has a full size sofa bed with 4" memory foam mattress. Slide open the bifold window to create an indoor-outdoor bar where you can serve up breakfast smoothies using the ninja blender or brew up a pot of coffee with your choice of a coffee maker or the French press using local aromatic Joshua Tree Coffee Company and tea. Create your next culinary masterpiece within the high-end gourmet kitchen that comes fully equipped with everything you could need and offers stunning views of the mountains while you cook. There is an oversize French door fridge with a filtered water and ice dispenser, a free-standing oven and stovetop, a microwave and a dishwasher to handle all the cleaning up. Dine inside at the modern dining table set for four, sit at the bar or eat alfresco style out on the patio with a rustic dining table under the retractable canopy to keep you out of the sun. There are three spacious bedrooms within the cove that are all separate from each other and feature huge “La Cantina” door walls that open out into the patio creating a seamless flow from one room to the other. Each of the bedrooms have their own private ensuite bathroom with luxurious rain fall showers and vanities stocked with all the essentials. The two master suites are filled with large memory foam king beds topped with hotel quality linen and bedding while the 3rd bedroom doubles as a studio where guests can roll out the ping pong table or open up the massive glass garage door to create the perfect space for a workout or to practice yoga. Or relive your youth on the Simpsons and Street Fighter arcade games. Then at night, drop down the comfortable memory foam queen size murphy bed for a restful night’s sleep. There are two desks. One is a fully enclosed office space for when you need complete isolation, the other is in the second bedroom. Very private and separated from the main living area. Wander over to the elevated stargazing deck and take an outdoor shower under the stars. Lounge in the stargazing net, then take a nap or read a book on of the relaxing hammocks under the shade of the Joshua trees. When night falls, light up the fire pit at the push of a button and enjoy the company of friends before retiring to the 6-person hot tub where you can Airplay your favorite songs through the multi-zone Sonos audio system. Watch a movie or put on the game with a huge new 85" TV above the hot tub or just lay back with a drink in hand and gaze up at the crystal clear night sky glittered with millions of stars. Electric Vehicle? There's a L2 40A charger in the carport for your convenience. We're pet friendly! The property is fenced in with special attention taken to remove all the *spikey things* that can get into paws.

Matthew's house was AMAZING in all aspects! His communication with us prior to, and during our stay, was timely, efficient and so thorough and helpful. The house was clean upon arrival and the setting and amenities were amazing. Coming from MI, it was a delight to enjoy the landscaping and cloudless blue skies of Yucca Valley! We enjoyed the fire pit in the coolness of each morning with delicious, local coffee, in hand. We stayed with a group of 4 pickleball playing friends and all reported comfortable sleeping arrangements, including the murphy bed and pull-out couch. We loved the BIG things - like the PB court and pool, and appreciated the little touches like robes, well stocked spices for cooking, and full sized bottles of shampoo/conditioner and body wash. Book the stay - you won't regret it!! Thanks for having us Matthew!

10/10 stay and would stay again! The perfect location to relax and also have quick access to the parks and main strip. The house was spotless and kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Our group took full advantage of the pickleball court, stargazing deck, pool, outdoor fireplace, ping pong table, hot tub - seriously this place had everything! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

My family of 4 had a great time on our 3 night stay. The kids enjoyed the pickleball court and hot tub, and it was a quick drive into Joshua Tree National Park. Everything went as planned and was exactly as described. We would love to stay again.

All I can say is wow, if you're looking for an idyllic private retreat in the high desert, Matt's place is the real deal. Matt is exceptionally helpful. The house is luxurious, spotless, and very well thought out. Whether you're 3 couples, 2 couples with kids or just the 2 you, this place has space to spare and a wonderful outdoor living layout. All of the sliding glass doors and windows can slide open so you can bring the outside in. There is a central courtyard with a grill and hot tub. The grounds are phenomenal, a basketball / pickleball court, a heated pool w/ a waterfall into the fire pit area. The fire pit is gas and puts out a lot of heat. There are several Joshua trees, a heated outdoor shower, hammock, swinging chairs, festive lighting throughout. Views of the surrounding mountains are beautiful. The rooms themselves are fantastic, beds are super comfortable, great furniture, overhead fans and powerful AC, and very well laid out. A+++, Matt's place is a real winner.

My Wife and I had a wonderful stay. The house was beautiful. The pool was wonderful for relaxing in during the day and the patio with the hot tub and large television were perfect for Sunday and Monday night football. We also loved the game room. We would definitely book here again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We loved our stay here! Matt was incredibly accommodating and responsive to every question before and during our trip. The house itself was perfect for our group — spacious, comfortable, and designed with a great “cove-style” layout that made it easy for everyone to hang out together. The beds were super comfy, and the bedding was amazingly soft. The Tesla EV charger was a huge plus, too! We’d definitely love to check out Matt’s other properties in the future.
