Just stayed at Casa Altura & it's PERFECT in every way. LOCATION cannot be beat as situated few blocks from main intersection in JT (so no noise or traffic, but quick and easy access to restaurants etc.), and it's short drive to West entrance of Joshua Tree Nat'l Park. There are SPECTACULAR VIEWS of gorgeous rock formation that are unobstructed & unimpeded by anything from every room, as well as from the large deck, and the patio, pool & jacuzzi area.Inside the 2BR 2BA is chic & comfortable with tech savvy controls & great features throughout; large fully stocked kitchen with a huge island, large dining table (also 2 tables on outside deck), and excellent living room area with turntable, speakers, flatscreen TV & stylish seating area. Good assortment of toys, games, books, DVDs and albums are a bonus. The owner is GREAT; quick to reply & helpful.No need to look elsewhere - if size is right - book it ASAP and you won't be disappointed!
