18 Palms was the perfect size and location for our family of 5. We chose this location because we were in town for a wedding, our close friends live in the same neighborhood. Check in and communicating with Clarissa and Bill was easy. Upon our arrival we were greeted with a thoughtful welcome basket, slippers and boogie boards. We enjoyed the many balconies the property offers so you can catch the sun no matter what time of day it is. We also had fun exploring the local beaches, the (free) water obstacle course at Horny Corner, Knott’s berry farm and browsing at some super cool record stores. We didn’t want to leave and hope to be back soon! Thank you for your hospitality Clarissa and Bill!
