Benecia Oasis - Spacious Home, Pool + Hot Tub, Joshua Tree & Palm Springs
Benecia Oasis is a 1970s pool house that combines the mid-century modern luxury of Palm Springs with the bohemian charm of Joshua Tree. The home has been lovingly restored by filmmakers Kit Williamson and John Halbach, who relocated to the Hi-Desert two years ago after getting married in Joshua Tree National Park. It’s the second home designed by the couple, after their homestead renovation El Dorado Oasis was featured in The LA Times and Apartment Therapy.

We enjoined our stay. The house had everything we needed to enjoy our visit to the desert, The kitchen had plenty of dishes, silverware and cooking utensils. Beds were comfortable, showers had plenty of hot water. And the pool was awesome!
Kit was a wonderful host/ answering some questions I had - Thank you for sharing your desert oasis😊
