Anthony was incredibly thoughtful and welcoming! The place was amazing- right on the water. Totally gorgeous. Everything we could have wanted was there and we were super comfortable. Highly recommend!

Great house for bird watching! Anthony's beach house was perfect for our bird watching trip to the Salton Sea. We saw 64 species of birds all around the Salton Sea. We went to all the birding places around the sea, and it was great to come back to the house and be cool inside with air conditioning and still be able to look out and see shore birds so close-up. The house was clean and the air conditioning worked great. Anthony was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Anthony was helpful with my questions about the area. Thank you. David

I had the best time in my life out there this time because we were able to stay in Anthony's house it was wonderful it had everything we needed fully stock for the things that we had to use even though we took our own next time we know we're going to just leave that at home there is coffee pot blender with the house I was very impressed I intend to use this property over and over again thank you for a wonderful time and making sure that your guests have a great visit in your home the views were to die for take a camera you sure will want to have the memories thank you guys until next year or maybe again this year I'm sure I'm looking forward to the stay in San Diego here soon I'm sure if this property was so lovely I'm sure the other ones are also thank you once again we had a very good time loved loved loved the house

I had a excellent time. The house is modern, well-equipped, and comfortable. The kitchen is large and fully stocked, AC works just fine, beds are comfortable, towels and modern bathroom, DirecTV, Wi-Fi, etc. The house is right on the shore of the Salton Sea; it's almost like a beach-house. For me, it's a get-a-way from the madness of Los Angeles; and it's a plus that it's a little ways from the pleasure domes and entertainment centers and large towns, although Palm Springs is only an hour's drive away, and Coachella is less than that. The house is located in the quaint little town of Salton City. This is desert country, and I admit to being a serious desert-lover, with all the quiet, beautiful nature and distinctive weather that brings. My thanks to Anthony for making all my stays special, comfortable and easy-going.

From beginning to end, Anthony was a wonderful host! Even prior to our trip, he was quick to respond to the number of questions I had about his place and the surrounding location. The home was as it was listed and more--it was clean, comfortable, the view was absolutely amazing, a great place to relax and take pictures; there were even games and a place for meditation to make us feel at home. Thank you for making our stay near the Salton Sea a wonderful experience! We'll be back! :)

Anthony's place was perfect for our group. The house was clean, spacious and right on the water. Beautiful scenery and so quiet. Would definitely stay again!

Anthony was an extremely kind and generous host. He truly wanted us to have an enriching experience at his home and even left us firewood so we could have a nice fire! The home was clean and comfortable and his backyard was a massive, unique body of water that we had fun exploring. We had a lovely time!

Property just as described. Great location, and a perfect jumping-off point to explore the Salton Sea. Right on the water with incredible views of the Sea. Do your homework ahead of time so you know what to expect with regards to the Salton Sea. We stayed in late May and temps were already near triple digits. Flies were bad, so we couldn't enjoy the outdoor deck as much as we would have liked to. Obviously, owner has no control over this. The house stayed very cool and comfortable. I would definitely stay at this location again, but my next visit will be during a cooler time of the year. Thanks, Anthony, for your hospitality! PS: Anthony is very quick and responsive to questions, so much appreciated!

If you're looking to step back to the 1970's, this is time and place to do it. Tao's Bombay Beach house may be in need of a little TLC and a few things weren't working, but all very fitting for it's location but it was comfortable and perfect for the total Bombay Beach immersion experience. Communication with Tao was pretty minimal, but given the property's location, it was probably best that he hooked us up with Raffy, a nearby resident who looks after the house. We were told beforehand that the stove wasn't working and a couple hot plates are provided. We brought our propane camp stove just in case and we're glad we did. Bombay Beach itself must be experienced. Just nothing quite like it. Prepare yourself for some isolation, heat, interesting locals and an amazing bar, The Ski Inn. Go now. For you have just entered the Twilight Zone.

The listing was accurate. Totally cool environment for those up for the quirks and glory of the desert. I had to cancel after 24 hours though, because of a lack of heat, as I went in the winter. Good HQ for Spring though, I reckon.

First of all, Tao was awesome. He was quick to find a win-win solution to some unforeseen circumstances. That flexibility and spirit of "giver's gain" makes Airbnb possible! My plan was to escape the hustle bustle of LA and lock myself down someplace without distractions so I could write some new music and prepare for SXSW.. I was looking at a map of CA when the Salton Sea caught my eye and flooded me with inspiration. Knowing little about it, I looked it up on Wiki wondering if I was divinely guided to go there.. I'm into synchronicity and emphatically consider sequences of 3s to be a good omen, showing me I'm headed the right direction.. Well the Salton Sea is listed on wiki as being 33.333 degrees N Longitude.. I knew it was meant to be, just wasn't sure why! Bombay Beach was perfect.. While I honestly found some great distractions that were unintended, the results of my adventures were beyond satisfying, relaxing, inspiring, and thrilling. As the description says, the area is totally weird. I couldn't imagine why anyone would ever settle down there. I'm glad they did, though because it presents quite a curiosity and great deal of wonder. The trailer is great. All that could be needed is there including a 1970s blender that did a great job on smoothies. The decor reminded me of Grandma.. except for a few photos that were clearly newer art. Then I discovered a random DVD sitting on the bookshelf and decided to watch it.. To my surprise it was Tao and a band of young artists defining a new age of political activism as film art or film art as political activism or.. Something spectacular that I have no business defining for you. I'm pretty sure that's why I was drawn there. That's the meaning I am creating at this moment. If it turns out I have to settle on "I only went to satisfy some whimsical desire to escape to strangeness," well then I suppose that would ultimately be pretty cool in and of itself. As a purveyor of responsible media and a generally eccentric person, I give two thumbs up to Tao and the Bombay Beach House!

Tao's place in Bombay Beach is an excellent launch point for exploring the surrounding area (Slab City, Salvation Mountain, etc). The local bar (Ski Inn) is right down the street and a great place to meet the locals in the evenings. Everyone we encountered was friendly and willing to talk about the town and the Salton Sea. I noticed no smell from the water when at the home or relaxing on the front porch, which is about 4-5 blocks away from the beach. The trailer can be a bit on the short side if you are much above 6 foot - just watch your head in the dining area near the ceiling fan. The place is older and obviously is a mobile home, but it is in decent shape. I've lived in much worse places and had no complaints. If you are staying in the summer months, you will want to keep the AC cranking. It gets a bit warm inside during the days (I visited from Phoenix, so I'm used to 110+ degrees for months on end). Just keep this in mind if you're used to cooler temperatures and plan to visit past April or May. If you have Verizon, expect full bars of LTE service in Bombay Beach. This was super helpful as I wasn't expecting much coverage around there. Tao was in contact from the beginning and I had zero issues with contacting him. I'd absolutely stay out there again.

We loved the house and the environment! Roisin and Tao were very involved with our arrival and if everything went well. The house is bigger than we thought and fully equipped. I definitely recommend this stay if you are in this beautiful neighborhood!!

If you're looking to experience the bizarre beauty of the Salton Sea, there's no better way to immerse yourself in the Bombay Beach experience than by staying at Tao's place. The trailer was cozy with quirky Americana vibes and tons of space, great art throughout and plenty of interesting little details. I especially appreciated all the reading materials. It's a great jumping off point for walking to the lake for sunrise and sunset, strolling around town and stopping in at the Ski Inn for drinks. A lot of people think that the Salton Sea is weird and they're right, but it's also incredibly beautiful. Find out for yourself by booking this place.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house! It's located several blocks from the beach which was great for catching sunsets. It is also located at the edge of the housing development so the front of the house faces a really beautiful desert landscape. The house has what you need to cook meals (which is recommended since there are not many places nearby to get food) and has really cozy spaces like the living room and front porch. Tao was also helpful with getting us acquainted with the area which added much to our experience. Would stay here again!

We had an incredible experience staying here. Bombay Beach and The Salton Sea are such a unique place. Very strange and surreal environment, but super cool to see. The locals were also very friendly and welcoming. Tao was very communicative and responds quickly.

Nice, clean house but take note that what you see is what you get. There aren't many basic amenities so if you're looking to relax in the house, cook, etc., be prepared to make a stop at a grocery store (there aren't any that are relatively close btw) to stock up on basic supplies. It probably would've been nice to have things like cable, and wifi but we didn't spend too much time in the house so it didn't bother us that much. There's two bathrooms but only one can be showering at once. Keep in mind that we were Luis' first guests ever so it's possible that your experience may be better! Communicating with Luis was easy - he's a nice guy!

Ray was very accommodating and communicated well with us through out the whole stay. His mother was very nice and accommodating to anything we needed as well! We stayed for a weekend and we're very comfortable.

Stacy and Ray were very accommodating. Everything went according to the itinerary. There were no problems whatsoever. The furniture in the rooms were in great condition and the restroom was stocked with essentials. Overall, it was a great experience, and would not have asked for a better location to stay for Coachella!

The place was wonderful! We had such an amazing time exploring the area, and it was great to have such a lovely home to come back to you. Our host was quick to answer any questions, and we were provided a folder with thorough instructions, and very helpful information about the area. We would love to stay at this place again sometime, if the opportunity arose.

This was an amazing time! The home's architecture was quite cool and unique - very Mid-Century Modern in all the best ways possible. This perfectly complimented the unique personality of the area too. We've wanted to visit the Sultan Sea for sometime. Our children loved what the area had to offer as well. Definite recommend!!

Great House. Interesting Neighborhood. Easy access to the host if needed. Had a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Salton Sea house! It was truly the most unique and cool house I've ever stayed at! A mid-century modern and so retro that it is completely back in style! Very clean, tons of stuff in the kitchen, and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on (in the middle blue bedroom!). Views were beautiful, too. I highly recommend!

We just loved the house, it was like taking a trip back in time. So beyond our expectations! Very conveniently located to all of the sights we wanted to see... the International Banana Museum is 3 minutes down the street, which was one of the main reasons we went down to the area, aside from the Bombay Beach Ruins, which is only 20 minutes down the road. The yard was absolutely stunning, the colored lights on the landscaping at night was just perfect. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

This house is quite unique and has a very interesting layout. There is a very beautiful view of the Salton Sea from the living room (including hanging bird feeder to watch the birds!). Jenny and Andrew also had great communication.

This is a wonderful 50's house... so interesting. If you are planning on going to Joshua Tree and/of Anzo-Borrego (do go now to see the flowers) this is a perfect spot. The living room, which looks out onto the Salton Sea, had plenty of comfortable seating which we appreciated after our days of long hikes. It had a lovely patio looking out onto a great dessert garden. The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend staying here.

This place is a family home and we were made to feel very welcome. It is unique and comfortable, everything was considered and in perfect order. Thank you!

Ray was a very attentive host, he tried very hard to take care of any issues. We were the first vacation rental for Ray at this location and I am sure this will be a great place soon. The place is huge, a very nice 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house. He is working on adding amenities such as coffee pot, toaster, etc. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Truckhaven area, it beats tent camping and motorhomes .

Our experience was great. It was the perfect winter get-away for our family. The amenities were better than expected and we would go back again in a heart beat.

Sandra's home was everything you see in the pictures and read in the descriptions, and much, much more. The setting is spectacular with a backyard that overlooks the valley with views to the mountains in the distance. Because her home is located in a "dark skies" community, the stars in the nighttime sky are spectacular. Six miles from downtown Borrego, everything is in easy reach. Sandra's home is also well-appointed, comfortable, and well-stocked. We immediately felt at home. And the instructions we received were crystal clear. Everything was perfect. Thank you, Sandra!

Sandra was such a good communicator. She gave me all of the information I would need days ahead of our vacation. The home was very clean and better than I hoped for. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We had such a great time here.

Clean, comfy and spacious. There was nice stargazing at night. Very quiet. Short drive to the main drag in Borrego Springs with all the restaurants.

This place was just right for my stay in Borrego. It's a very quiet and secluded community. And the view from the back patio is really beautiful. Communication with Sandra was prompt and clear. Overall a great place to stay at a great price.

We had a lovely time! Everything was clean, comfy, and wonderful. The view from the backyard is breathtaking and the neighborhood is very peaceful. It's a handy location near one of the park entrances. The kitchen was well-stocked with supplies, and everything was just easy and pleasant. It was a super relaxing weekend, wish we could have stayed longer.

It was great spending time with my family at Sandra condo. The community was really nice. With lots of walking trails. Sandra was very attentive to all of our needs. The community is isolated but there is a small village just 10mins away.

We felt very welcome in this property. It is a bigger space than it appears and had plenty of extra amenities for guests. Sandra was very responsive leading up to our stay and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the place to others looking for a convenient getaway with friends.

The host canceled this reservation 23 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great place very peaceful with great view from the back pstio, and the pool which is just across the stret was great. Full olympic size and heated just right! House was nice too and the pool table was lots of fun.

This casita is a wonderful place for desert wayfarers looking to experience Anza Borrego Desert but who don't want to camp out. The house is very comfortable, and the patio overlooks nicely manicured desert gardens teeming with hummingbirds, doves, lizards and desert hares. A great place to have breakfast before hitting the trails. The gated golf-community setting (Ram's Hill) threw me at first, as this is not really my style and I didn't realize that's where the house was located. But it really is quite a pleasant place to stay. The kitchen is well equipped for full-on cooking & pool down the block is a wonderful place to cool off after some intense desert hiking. Monique's home is a really nice desert oasis.

We had a wonderful and relaxing weekend away. The home is exactly as described, and the location is great with a lovely view of the golf course. We took advantage of the heated pool, hot tub, and tennis courts down the street.

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The view was fabulous, the space was wonderful. The surprise pool table was fun and made for some late night competition! We were so close to the pool and hot tub. The visit from the coyote on the patio was special as was the roadrunner right before it! Thanks for a wonderful couple of days!

The Evolve Vacation Team provided all the information required for staying at the property. Their representative met us on site and showed us the house, he lived locally so could be contacted during the stay. The house was exactly as described and it had everything we needed. It has a well stocked kitchen in terms of equipment, including coffee grinder, food blender and crock pot! There were plenty of towels including beach towels to take to the community pool and hot tub. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definately stay here again. We loved sitting outside on an evening and taking in the amazing night sky.

We felt very comfortable in the home and community! The security guards at the gate were friendly and even provided us with maps and information when we first arrived. Mark and Susan sent us a lot of useful information leading up to the trip and we felt well taken care of all the way from Canada. We appreciated all of the things in the casita to make it feel like our home for the weekend- DVD's, CD's, books- and the fully stocked kitchen was great!

We stayed in the casita with two adults and a five year old. Perfect home base for our trip. Lots of interesting hikes close by, and easy communication with Susan and Mark.

We had a great weekend. the house was cozy, tastefully decorated, well equipped and very comfortable. A very good place to rest and explore the area.

My wife, my two teen aged daughters, and I had a great four day vacation here. Clean, quiet, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. A great place to come back to and relax in after a desert outing. Susan was also super communicative and professional about a couple questions we had about our stay. The people working at the front gate were all friendly and were able to answer a few questions we had about the area that came up.

Susan and Mark's desert retreat served as the perfect oasis for a holiday reunion. The three of us gathered from three states for a celebration in what turned out to be an ideal setting. This modern casita felt instantly like home. Everything you could want--and more--is there. Anytime we asked, "I wonder if there's a ..."--we found it. (Yes, there is a corkscrew. Three of them, in fact.) Thank you for creating such a comfortable and fresh environment. We've all been to Anza-Borrego and Borrego Springs many times, but this is the first time we've found a place where we'd look forward to staying again. We hiked to our heart's content, then returned to our home base for shared meals, a relaxing space, and some of the best sleep you'll ever find at your home away from home.

Mark and Susan were very available despite of the distance and time zone. The casita was spacious and nice in a well-kept surroundings, especially appreciated the Bose sound system and the well-equipped kitchen. Our first ever desert experience was interesting and the casita provided a perfect "base-camp". Thank you Susan and Mark!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful two level casita. I liked how the upstairs bedroom had two queens, perfect for the kids. My husband and I slept in a dreamy King, some of the best sleep we've had in resent time. We did a lot of hiking and bouldering, so it was nice to enjoy the pool everyday. You feel very safe in this community, it's a lovely area. We even saw a coyote on the premises. Just terrific. We would definitely like to come back!

We had a great experience from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this stay for anyone looking for a nice place in borrego springs.

The house was great for a group visiting Anza Borrego area.

Very comfortable, cozy, well equipped house. Full kitchen with all the amenities. Everything was perfectly clean. The location is great for beautiful sites in the region. Rich was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended!

The photos of this house just don't do it justice! This house is much more then the photos show. It was roomy, inviting and very comfortable. It had anything and everything we could have wanted for our stay. The back yard with the fire pit was a hit!

Wonderful stay at Barbara and Davids! Very Quiet neighbors, and the star gazing off back deck was amazing. Kitchen very well equipped for all your cooking needs. Very comfortable, cozy home. All our questions were answered promptly. The home was clean! Thanks for sharing your home, we would stay again and recommend staying there. Jane and Randi

Very comfortable, cozy home with hot tub, Lots of bird viewing. You can walk out the front door into the desert. It is a friendly neighborhood. You do have to drive for amenities and the hundreds of hikes available thru in the State Park. An all wheel drive is great, but we were able to use a lot of primitive roads with a regular street car. Just read about desert safety.

David and Barbara were excellent hosts. They were very responsive, and they provide great instructions to ensure our arrival and departure was smooth. If you're looking for a getaway in the desert, definitely check out their place!

We had a completely wonderful stay at Barbara and David's house! The house is very cozy, with a well appointed kitchen, and lovely backyard! It is perfectly located for both adventuring out into the desert and also quick runs to town. On top of it all, we were able to bring along our four-legged friend! I was so relieved by how easy communicating with Barbara was. The whole process of renting/ arriving/ staying/ and departing, was a dream! Thank you Barbara and David!

The home was comfortable, clean & well equipped. The home is better than the description & comes well equipped, conveniently located, quiet neighborhood & has two nice outside seating areas for morning or afternoon coffee (tea for me). Had a wonderful stay.

Our stay in Barbara and David’s lovely house was very restful. The house is quite comfortable and very beautifully furnished, spotless. Everything we needed was available, all of the necessary information for the house was right at hand and easy to follow; fifteen minutes after we arrived we were set up and felt right at home. The house is located on a quiet street a few miles from Borrego Springs. Since the community is a Dark Skies Community, the stars from the back deck are spectacular. The spa was very nice. We did not meet Barbara or David but they were quick to respond to messages. We very much enjoyed their home. The bed was comfortable, everything about the house was an enjoyable experience. We will certainly return. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful three days in this very comfortable and tastefully appointed home. Nothing could have been better. Hope we can return soon. Thank you Barbara and David!

Great place just outside of town so you get the quiet and beauty of desert visitas plus a great nighttime sky. Casita was wondering furnished and had everything we needed for a long weekend. We'll be back!

Outstanding views of the night sky and sunrises. A quiet, peaceful location with everything you need to (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication with Evolve and the local contact was easy and helpful. Double kudos to the local contact, Mike, for his prompt response when needed.

Great place to stay! Loved the location and the setup of the home. Thanks!!

It was a lovely, comfortable, and very clean home. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you.
