Welcome to Desert Willow Retreat, a beautifully renovated Indio escape with nearly $100K in documented improvements and an established short-term rental history. Whether you're looking for a desert getaway, primary residence or investment property, this home offers a rare combination of thoughtful upgrades, resort-style amenities and proven guest appeal, all with no HOA. A decorative wrought-iron gate welcomes you into a secluded front courtyard, creating a beautiful sense of arrival and a private open-air retreat. Inside, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a spacious upstairs lounge unfold with new LVP flooring and baseboards, fresh interior and exterior paint, all-new dual-pane windows and sliders, an updated staircase with new railing, elevated lighting and ceiling fans. The freshly renovated kitchen showcases beautifully veined white quartz, a vertically stacked blue-gray backsplash, soft-close cabinetry, warm wood shelving and newer stainless appliances. Upstairs baths feature Bluetooth audio, with illuminated touch mirrors in the primary. Outside, a private desert resort awaits with a saltwater pool and spa, Baja shelf, waterfall spillover and color-changing features, plus a professionally designed putting green, custom palapa, built-in outdoor kitchen with sink, gas fire pit and rebuilt covered patio with dual ceiling fans. Smart-home technology controls access, climate, garage, pool/spa, irrigation and landscape lighting from your phone. A finished 2-car garage currently serves as a game room, and the home is equipped with a Tesla solar system.
