The Palm Palace - Live like Royalty in this 8,000 sq.ft Mansion by Empire Polo!

Palm Palace—8,390 Square Feet mansion—Perfect for golf groups, family gatherings, Bachelor/Bachelorette parties, groups attending music festivals or anyone looking for a fun desert vacation.
You and your guests will be talking about the villa's sparkling pool and opulent living areas for years to come, unable to forget the experiences you shared at Palm Palace. You'll know you're in for an incredible vacation as soon as set foot in the front courtyard. A lush lawn, swaying palm trees, and tasteful sculptural accents give you the sense that you've arrived at the private palace of a desert sheikh. Pass under the colonnade and into the main living area—a circular room with plenty of natural light and stately columns flanking three plush sofas. On either side of the room, a small set of stairs leads to a second level. On one side you'll find additional lounge areas, multiple televisions, game tables (including a professional poker table, billiards, foosball, and more), and a bright, airy kitchen with Thermador appliances. The other side leads to the six in-suite bedrooms.

Dining won't be a problem with three ovens and an extra refrigerator and freezer in the garage. There's also a brand new outdoor kitchen and bar next to the pool, which makes outdoor entertaining fun and seamless. The spacious pool is flanked by a perfectly manicured lawn, two rows of lounge chairs, and multiple umbrellas. Chat in the shade of the outdoor lounge, play volleyball on the grass, or simply lounge poolside with a refreshing drink from the bar. As the sun drops below the horizon, take your pick of dining areas—there's plenty of room for your group to spread out. Then hop in the hot tub for a relaxing soak before climbing into your plush, king-size bed to rest up for another unforgettable day in paradise.

HOUSE RULES:

Please read through the following house rules and ONLY request to book if you and your guests can follow them. You will be asked to acknowledge these rules when booking, and failure to follow them will be considered a violation of the rental agreement.

CITY LAW NOW PROHIBITS MUSIC AND PARTIES

As of January 2021, city ordinance 95C effectively prohibits parties and any kind of noise (including from portable speakers) in the backyard of vacation rentals. This order is in effect 24/7.

Normal noise levels (normal conversation, kids splashing in the pool) are fine. However, noise above this level and any music will likely prompt complaints from the neighbors.

Neighbors have been asked to contact Desert VIP Services directly in response to a noise violation. If the violation continues, the city has established a vacation rental hotline that residents can call to request police assistance and a citation. Any fines (from the city or HOA) are the responsibility of the guest.

Note that noise violations, parties, etc. are a breach of the rental agreement, which gives Desert VIP Services the right to enter the property without notice. We also reserve the right to evict guests in response to a violation of the rental agreement.
Additionally, outside amenities cannot be used after 9:00 p.m. weekdays through 8:00 a.m., and 10:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. (City ordinance 37.012 j) Fines will apply for violating these rules, and start at $2,000 per violation.


If you have questions, please refer to the rental agreement or ask us.

If you are considering hosting an event (small wedding, birthday party, etc.), please contact us before booking. You may be able to obtain a special event permit from the city of Indio. However, we cannot guarantee approval, and any city fees are your responsibility.

ADDITIONAL GUESTS

Your rental agreement will specify how many guests you are contracted to bring. Any additional guests require prior written approval.

City code limits the number of guests allowed in a rental (both overnight and during the day), and we also like to know who may be onsite in the event of an emergency.

Overnight guests beyond what is listed, in addition to being pre-approved, must pay an extra fee. Discovery of additional persons at the property without prior approval will result in eviction and forfeiture of security deposit.

The city also has new ordinances regarding parking and trash at vacation rentals.

Parking is only allowed in designated spots and, in some cases, on the street directly in front of the rental. Parking in front of other homes is strictly prohibited by the city.

Trash must remain out of public view, except when it is in the proper containers for the purpose of trash removal by the city.

AGE MINIMUMS

While we welcome guests of all ages, the person signing the rental agreement must be at least 30 years old. We reserve the right to decline or cancel a booking if the age minimum is not met.

CONFETTI, PETS, POOL HEATING

Please note that water balloons and confetti are not allowed. We have had problems with these items getting into the pool and landscaping, and they are very difficult to remove. We ask that you leave them at home.

All pets must be pre-approved and are not guaranteed to be pre-approved. An additional pet fee of $150 per dog is in addition to the rate quoted.

Note that the pool is heated only upon request and for an additional daily fee (not included in the rental rate). We need at least 24 hours to get the pool up to temperature, so please let us know before your stay if you would like this service. Pool heating is highly recommended October through April.
