A family-sized adobe vacation house with palms and a private pool in Borrego Springs

Family Vacation

A family vacation house that actually fits the family.

3 master bedrooms, a private pool, a six-burner kitchen, and a backyard sky kids will remember. Two hours from San Diego, two and a half from LA.

Built for families

Most desert rentals are designed for two adults. Moonlight Oasis is built for families — three private master bedrooms so grandparents, parents, and cousins each get their own door; a private backyard pool (no separate pool fence, so keep an eye on little ones; pack-n-play available on request); and a kitchen sized for a real family dinner.

What the kids actually do

  • Pool, all day, every day.
  • Borrego Palm Canyon — 3 miles round-trip, mostly flat sandy wash, ends at a hidden palm grove.
  • The Slot — a narrow mudstone canyon walk, 2 miles, best photos of the trip.
  • The Galleta Meadows sky-art scavenger hunt — count the metal dinosaurs across the open valley.
  • Stars from the rooftop deck. Most kids have never seen the Milky Way.

What parents care about

  • Pack-n-play available on request.
  • Three full bathrooms.
  • Pack-n-play available upon request.
