Villa Verbena is the kind of desert estate that turns a group trip into a full-property takeover. Set on 1.71 acres in Bermuda Dunes, this Mediterranean-style retreat gives up to 16 guests room to gather, celebrate, and spread out across a private estate with resort-style outdoor spaces, generous interiors, and entertainment at nearly every turn.
Inside, the home is bright, polished, and built for groups who want more than one place to land. Oversized living and dining spaces flow through the main house with crisp white walls, warm wood floors, arched details, and modern finishes that keep the estate feeling fresh and elevated. The kitchen is designed for serious group meals, with a large island, bar seating, professional-style appliances, and plenty of prep space, while multiple dining areas and lounge spaces give everyone room to move between coffee, dinner, games, and late-night conversation. A game room with ping pong, shuffleboard, and TV adds an easy indoor hangout when the group wants a little friendly competition.
With 12 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, Villa Verbena is made for larger families, friend groups, and celebration stays that need real space. The layout gives guests plenty of private rooms to retreat to at the end of the day, while the guest house adds even more flexibility for those who want a little extra separation without being away from the group.
Outside is where the estate fully opens up. Spend the day by the pool and spa, gather around the fire pit once the desert light softens, or settle under the covered outdoor dining area for long meals in the shade. The grounds are made for staying active and staying outside, with pickleball and tennis courts, basketball, bocce, a wide lawn, outdoor lounge areas, and string lights that bring the whole setting to life after sunset. Whether the plan is pool time, spa time, court time, dinner outside, or a night that slowly moves from the table to the fire, Villa Verbena gives the group space to make the property itself the main event.
The location gives Villa Verbena its edge. Set in Bermuda Dunes, a quiet Coachella Valley pocket, the estate has the desert skies, palm-lined streets, and mountain backdrops that make it feel private without putting the region out of reach. Nearby, the valley opens up with golf, shopping, dining, spas, and desert day trips through places like Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, and Palm Springs. Festival grounds, tennis events, hiking trails, and destination restaurants are all easy to work into the itinerary. Whether the plan is a family celebration, a pool-first retreat, or a long weekend built around golf, events, and desert exploring, Villa Verbena gives the group a spacious Bermuda Dunes base with plenty to enjoy beyond the property.

The property was better than expected. Spacious. Bedrooms and privacy for everyone. Excellent condition. Plenty of parking. Not one thing was disappointing. Beautiful home. Management company was great.
Our family got together to celebrate my dad's 35th birthday. Family came from all over the country. This house was PERFECT! Comfortable accommodations, super spacious, incredible kitchen and pool, fun and games for everyone. There is even a piano and guitar! The young ones played in the pool, game room, basketball court, and huge lawn. The house came equipped with a cornhole, the ladder game, shuffleboard, and ping pong.
We really had everything we needed. All we had to bring was food and drink. I would definitely come back. Check in and check out were super smooth. Communicaton with the host was efficient and easy.
We had the best extended family vacation at Villa Verbena! One of the highlights was absolutely the gated pool — it made us feel so confident having little kids. There was plenty of room for four generations, lots of hang out space and we just can’t speak highly enough. The only negative was for the size of the home the kitchen could use better stocking. It seemed like maybe things had disappeared over time as there were labels for items that didn’t exist? Very few pots and pans, no linens, limited bowls, etc. We did most of our cooking at home and may opt to bring essentials next time. We’d love to come back!
Kristin was wonderful and welcomed us with a great property orientation. Villa Verbena had everything we needed to relax and have fun for a long weekend.
My fiancé and I booked this house for a joint bachelor & bachelorette and we had such an incredible time! The house fit all 20 of us very comfortably and was the perfect space to entertain.
Had a great trip playing golf at PGA West! The house is very conveniently located being only 15min away from the house. The house was amazing plenty of room and the pool was great to cool off and relax by! The host was very nice and quick to help with anything needed! This is a great place to stay for some fun in the sun!
After a last minute change in venues from Villa Verbena to Mirabella, our trip ended up being fabulous. AvantStay worked with us to get into another comparable property that was absolutely gorgeous. The property was exquisite and we believed was actually a better fit for our party than our original location. The grounds were immaculate and the house very clean. The concierge services offered were a huge plus and made our stay extra special. We very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property.
Thanks for the request from VRBO. I have some confusion, however, about where VRBO begins and AvantStay ends? Who is in charge? Which web site do I trust? There were inconsistencies in the two sites that were and are going to be problematic.
Our property was originally was Villa Verbena until last minute repairs had to move us. We worked with Avant Stay on selecting a new property that had to work with our group of 23 people. We eventually got switched to “Mirabella” in the Indio area, larger property and a beautiful home. Avant Stay was awesome to deal with and made sure we were all taken care of. They provided everything we needed including extra blow up air mattresses and portable AC units to help cool down this large home. The estate was amazing with pool, lake and golf course. Highly recommend this property and Avant Stay for any future rental. Kristen was our concierge and went up and above our expectations! She is truly an asset to this company and made our stay so enjoyable! Thank you!
We rented Villa Verbena to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday with our family. The size was perfect for a large group of people. We felt at home inside the house, and it lended itself to a variety of activities, from watching March Madness, to playing shuffleboard and ping pong, to working remotely. The WiFi inside the house was excellent but was a bit sketchy the further away you got from the house (not surprising!). Most of the bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms, and the beds were very comfortable.
The outdoor space was divine. The large yard hosted games of corn hole, spike ball, hide-and-seek and basketball. Most of our time, however, was spent by the pool and spa. Every door had a basket of rolled beach towels by it. The outdoor furniture was all comfortable, and there were plenty of lounge chairs around the pool for all of us to relax. One thing to know if you are renting Villa Verbena is that heating the pool is an extra charge.
After the sun went down, we were visited every night by a family of cats. Perhaps the most exciting event was finding a tortoise hanging out near the pool. And, by the time we left, a hummingbird had built a tiny nest on the hammock. It was a true menagerie!
Kristin with AvantStay was very responsive to our needs. Although I didn't have many queries, she responded quickly to the ones I did have. She also helped to arrange massages at the house which were really wonderful. We had a dinner catered through Iora Hospitality, as well, and that too was really good.
Villa Verbena's location was ideal. We were within a mile of grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants. It is also just a short drive to the Indian Wells Tennis Center, Old Town La Quinta and El Paseo Drive. Despite being so close to all of that hustle and bustle, the house itself is tucked away in a very quiet and small neighborhood.
This is such a great spot to vacation. We are hoping to make it a yearly trip!
