1. The Reserve at Polo Villas – La Quinta, CA

The Reserve is our newest addition to the Polo Villas neighborhood in Coachella Valley. The Reserve #15 and The Reserve #18 have their very own pickleball court, pool, and fire pit—which we think makes this already conveniently located home that much better for festival season. If you’d rather have a bocce ball instead of a pickleball court, you might be on the wrong blog, but also The Reserve homes #12 and #16 have those.

Looking for other places to stay during the festival season? Here’s our list of the best Airbnbs for Coachella Valley Festivals.

2. Chianti – Sonoma, CA

You’re gonna love this one. Chianti is a Sonoma beauty offering a brand new, top-notch court from FlexCourt, featuring elite tiles designed specifically for pickleball. This cushioned, synthetic surface enhances traction and playability, reduces joint stress, and ensures quick drainage. Chianti’s court also comes with four of the latest Owl Paddles: the industry’s quietest and best-performing paddle. Enjoy superior balance, maneuverability, and reduced arm strain for you and the whole crew.

14. Mesquite38 – Thermal, CA

Game, set, match at Mesquite38. This estate in Coachella Valley has our favorite pickleball court—partially because it doubles as a tennis court and because of its cerulean blue color surrounded by contrastingly pink flora (can you say “gorg?”)…but also because of the unparalleled amenities this property provides. We can’t fit them all in this blog, but our favorites are the: oversized hot tub, two bocce ball courts, spacious pool house with a bar, a gym, a huge pool, a tennis court, and 6 beach cruiser bikes. If you have an upcoming big event, this house is definitely the best call.
