Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, commonly shortened to just Coachella, is an annual music festival held in Indio, California. Due to the overwhelming popularity of Coachella, the festival is held over two weekends, thus making Coachella a two-week venue. For some music lovers, the idea of spending two weeks in a hotel room may not sound enticing. In comparison, the idea of renting a vacation home may be more attractive. Fortunately, the Indio area offers a lot of options in terms of vacation home rental.
Confirm the dates and duration of your stay. The dates of the musical festival vary from one year to the next. Ensure that you have the correct dates in mind for your trip.
Search for available vacation homes in the Indio area. Utilize online rental property management sites, such as Vacation Rentals by Owner, Vamoose, Vacation Palm Springs and Vacation Rentals. Make a list of the vacation homes you find suitable. Include vacation homes located in the surrounding neighborhoods, such as Indian Palms, Palm Desert, Terra Lago and Santa Rosa. A longer commute might be worth the savings of staying farther away from the festival.
Compare the prices of the vacation home found in your search. Consider amenities, such as pools, parking areas and nearby attractions. Narrow your list down to approximately five choices.
Contact the property management company or owner for the vacation homes you find suitable. Inquire about rental fees, security deposits, pet regulations, smoking policy, refunds, insurance and neighborhood safety. Ask if discounts are given stays longer than one week.
Choose the vacation home that is best suited for your needs. Make reservations with the property management company or owner. You may have to pay an upfront security deposit. Ask for a receipt and a confirmation itinerary if money is exchanged.
