Who is behind "One Chic Desert Reatreat"?

Hello, I am Britta, an import from Germany, but I have now lived in California for more than half of my life. I have worked in various positions in tourism & hospitality and I am also a realtor with First Team Real Estate. My hubby Rob grew up in SocCal and works in IT Security.

Our favorite hobby has to be traveling the world! Staying at vacation rentals versus hotels has always enhanced our travels by making them so much more comfortable, convenient, affordable and fun... We just love to live, cook and shop like locals when we travel and we have taken everything we have learned from our dozens of past stays to hopefully meet and exceed your expectations!

In 2009 we started our hosting journey with "Mickey's Magical Getaways", a niche brand of family oriented vacation rentals across from Disneyland. In 2017 we moved our business to the desert by creating "One Chic Desert Retreat" that includes 5 beautiful vacation condos at Legacy Villas in sunny La Quinta, aka golf capital USA and one of our favorite destinations in the world...

Why La Quinta and why Legacy Villas?

La Quinta had been one of our alltime favorite vacation spots for years, so when we stumbled across the Legacy Villas community, it was love at first sight! The complex and its amenities are truly exceptional. The beautiful Spanish architecture, the abundance of perfectly maintained pools, the large gym, the hammock garden, outdoor fireplaces, bougainvillea, fragrant fruit trees and desert landscape all around, the walking trail surrounding the complex and even just the guarded front gate and the gorgeous fountains - we were thoroughly impressed!

What makes our properties unique?

It took us a long time to wait for "just the right units" to come on the market. With almost 300 properties in the community, we honestly feel that we scored the BEST in terms of location, privacy, amenities, layout, parking and even direction towards the sun. And can you belive that our units 2, 3, 4 and 5 are all RIGHT NEXT to each other, providing the perfect setup for larger groups and families?! And even our townhouse, Villa #1 is only a 3 minute walk from those 4 other units, so we can accommodate up to 24 guests total.

We invested our blood, sweat and tears (and a big chunk of our bank account) to reimagine each property with a great amount of detail. New paint, flooring (no more carpets!), updated kitchens & bathrooms, redesigned lighting, fun, eclectic furnishings, a happy color palette and just about anything you could ever need - we provide it!

Cleanliness is one of our top priorities and we use a small, exceptional crew that has worked for us for many years and that I am in contact with daily to ensure the highest standards.

What's also unique: We do not use a management company, so there are no long waittimes, added management fees or impersonal service. You are only dealing with ME,Britta, your hostess extraordinaire who is always just a text, call or email away and here to assist with any and all questions, before, during and after your stay!
