The space
THE RETRO OASIS EXPERIENCE
*formerly called JACUZZI MOON

As the gate closes behind you and you make your way down the long driveway, you will be greeted by our charming 80s style house on the left and ample parking spaces on the right. Walking past our golf cart, a pathway towards the front door reveals lounging workspaces with USB + power hookups beneath our sunrise patio. Stepping into the house you’ll be greeted by a visual supernova of furnishings set atop of bowling lane flooring, repurposed from our local Yucca Bowling Alley. Chances are if you’ve bowled there in the past few decades, you’ve already made memories on these lanes.

Take a moment to sit at our regularly tuned, 100 year old Knabe baby grand piano, or follow its commanding lines through the lounge over to the indoor/outdoor kitchen bar, complete with a 6 foot wide flip-out window. Then for those who are barista inclined.. make a drink on our espresso machine.. pick a stool, unwind and kickstart your RETRO OASIS experience.

Once you explore the house and it’s time to choose your bedroom, you’ll notice each themed room has a TV/VCR combo to accompany a collection of our favorite VHS movies for your nostalgic viewing pleasure. You’ll also notice step-out windows in both bathrooms that open gently with a crank to let the desert breeze in and continue the indoor/outdoor flow of living that is so important to us.

Bring your instruments with you and use our lounge’s Shure Vocal Master Spring reverb PA along with our house microphones, cables and stands to get lost in a performance or late night writing session.

Watch films the way we prefer to.. and flip on our perfect condition, 1987 Sony Trinitron oak paneled television set, complete with HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Sling, or play something from your personal devices via Apple TV.

From the kitchen, step outside into our sunset patio lounge, complete with a large built-in dining booth and day nap zones. Grab a towel from our outdoor cabinet and stroll onto the white sands of TTRO for a refreshing soak in the shallow, (definitely no diving) lounging lagoon or enjoy a sunbathing, meditation or yoga session on the lagoon deck. The soothing sounds of the waterfall resonate around the property, as you rinse off in our cedar floored, outdoor rain shower.

Meander past our giant saguaro cacti and olive trees to the pickleball court nestled between a thousand year old, 30 ft tall Joshua tree and our recording studio / soundstage (coming fall 2022).

Next, grab a cocktail and explore our paver pathways out to the famous JACUZZI LANE for a round of bowling or head over to our outdoor seafoam pool table for a friendly wager. When nightfall comes, take another pathway 200 feet out from the house into the field, where you’ll discover the namesake of this compound.. our JACUZZI.

Enjoy a private meteor show under the pitch black night skies of Landers… it’s officially JACUZZI time under the moon.

ADDITIONAL RAD THINGS
Lookout for our family of 5 owls named Who, What, Where, When and Why. Chances are you'll catch a glimpse of them, hear their wings flapping as they fly over you or hear their lively hoots to one another.

Enjoy our desert wildlife including rabbits, squirrels, mice, rats, lizards, a bold roadrunner named Brian, a large committee of quail often exploring and drinking from the lagoon and an American falcon we rescued named Rudy. There are 3 resident feral cats who take care of the small things for us, charming local farmyard noises, howling coyotes, summertime cicadas and old horses neighing in the distance.


**Please note:

This property is 10acres which is HUGE! There is a building on premise that, my husband, James & I, stay in from time to time. We travel a lot, so there's no guarantee where we'll be on the planet during your stay here. Haha This is our 3rd AirBnB home we host & giving your group the privacy you deserve is very important to us.

However, if we happen to be around, we can promise we stay out of sight, out of mind. We're more than happy to welcome you in person & give you a little tour of all the unique aspects to the land; but, otherwise, you have full rule of the roost. Every amenity on the land (bowling alley, hot tub, pickle-ball court, etc.) will be exclusively yours. There are NO SHARED COMMON AREAS. So, your stay will still be completely private :)

Guest access
RetroOasis is a 10 acre compound with multiple buildings. You will have private access to the house + interior grounds (pool + basketball court) + private access to ALL amenities on the entire property (including bowling alley, basketball court, hot tub, pickle-ball court, fire-pit etc). There are NO SHARED COMMON AREAS, so your stay will be completely PRIVATE :)

Other things to note
SOUND - The desert has a county ordinance for quiet-time after 10pm, so please be respectful of our neighbors. Please do not bring your favorite DJ and PA system (yes we had to write this out haha).

SEPTIC - Pls only flush toilet paper.

GOLF CARTS - are for zipping up and down the driveway, please do not take it off road, we have irrigation lines spread out across the property.

PETS - are welcome but they must be house-trained.

EVENTS, PARTIES & COMMERCIAL PHOTOSHOOTS
Not permitted without prior approval and additional fees.
