ABOUT THE SURROUNDINGS
At Blue Cactus house, it's all about proximity! You are 10 minutes away from the polo fields where Coachella & Stagecoach festivals are held every April, 5 miles to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and surrounded with world-class golf courses.
The Coachella Valley is special for a number of reasons. The weather, views, music and art. Indio, the most populous city in the Coachella Valley, is a great place to visit if you're looking for a desert oasis. The city has a warm, dry climate year-round, and it's surrounded by beautiful mountains and desert scenery. Indio is also home to a number of cultural attractions, including the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Stagecoach Festival, the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival, and the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
The pool heat is on-demand, meaning we do not heat it when it's not in use or when no guests are staying. It heats up about 3 degrees per hour and it can get down into the 60's during the winter so if you want it heated upon your arrival please keep that in mind and notify us. October Through the end of May the charge is $100/day if pool heating is paid upfront for every day of the stay or $125/day if not. Spa only heating is $40/day if prepaid for the entire stay and $70/day if not. Most resorts heat pools into the low 80's we allow guests that pay for pool heat to heat pool to the mid-80's and spas as high as they like. Please keep in mind, mid-winter, larger pools will have a hard time even reaching mid-80's, pool temperature is not guaranteed, however, generally low to mid 80's is common, even mid-winter.
Pets are subject to owner approval and may or may not be approved. If they are approved a pet fee applies. Please inquire with breed, age, and weight of your pet prior to booking. No Cats Allowed.

The desert has extreme temperatures, including sustained daytime temperatures of over 100 degrees. With such high temperatures, ACs can struggle to cool homes by more than 25 degrees. Boatman bugs are common in pools with biologically safe water. If food is left out, ants will come, and if doors are left open, flies will come.
