From Your Hosts
We've hosted Coachella guests for years. Here's what actually makes the difference.
Rideshare from the house takes 5–10 minutes
During festival weekends, Uber and Lyft are abundant in our neighborhood. You'll rarely wait more than a few minutes. Drop-off and pick-up near the grounds is straightforward — our location makes this effortless.
Stock your groceries before you arrive
Every grocery store in the Coachella Valley gets picked clean during festival week. Stater Bros, Vons, Ralph's — plan to shop the day before or morning of your arrival. Your wallet will thank you too.
Book both weekends at once if you can
Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 are the same festival, different energy. Many guests book both back-to-back or return for the second. If your group is on the fence, reach out — we can sometimes hold dates for a few days.
The pool is your recovery secret weapon
Coachella days are long and hot, but the nights get cold. Coming home to a warm private pool makes a massive difference — add pool heating ($65/day) when you book. Schedule a mid-afternoon break, float for an hour, then head back refreshed for the night sets.
Parking at the grounds is expensive — skip it
Official festival parking runs $50–$100 per day. With 5 spots at the house and rideshare costing $10–$15 round trip, you'll save hundreds over a weekend and skip the lot traffic entirely.
Empire Polo hosts both Coachella and Stagecoach
The same venue hosts Stagecoach Country Music Festival in April as well. If your group is into country, our property works just as perfectly — same 5-minute proximity, same private retreat experience.
Questions
Tulum in the Valley is approximately 5 minutes by rideshare or car from Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California — the venue for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. It is one of the closest private vacation rentals to the festival grounds available.
A private house rental within 5–10 minutes of Empire Polo Grounds is the best option for most groups. You get your own pool, kitchen, and space — and you can return to the house between sets instead of waiting hours at the venue. Tulum in the Valley checks every box: 5 minutes from the grounds, private heated pool, 4 bedrooms for up to 10 guests, and no platform fees when you book direct.
Absolutely, especially for groups. Split between 8–10 people, a private house rental is often cheaper per person than a hotel room — and you get exponentially more space, a pool, a kitchen to save on food costs, and real beds for everyone. The ability to come and go from the festival freely without shuttle lines or expensive parking is the real game-changer.
Yes. The property sleeps up to 10 guests across 4 bedrooms, each with dedicated sleeping space and premium bedding. No sleeping bags, no air mattresses — everyone gets a real bed.
Yes — both weekends are available as separate bookings every year. Book as early as possible — Coachella weekend dates are among the most requested of the year and sell out months in advance.
Official festival parking at Empire Polo Grounds runs $50–$100 per car per day. From Tulum in the Valley, a rideshare to the grounds costs roughly $10–$15 round trip and takes 5–10 minutes. Over a full Coachella weekend, you can save $300–$400 just on parking by staying close and ridesharing instead.
We do our best to accommodate festival guests. Contact us directly when you book and we'll work with your group's schedule. Festival week is busy, but flexibility is important to us.
Book directly at tuluminthevalley.com. Direct bookings skip platform service fees entirely — Airbnb and VRBO typically add 12–15% on top of the nightly rate. You'll also communicate directly with the host, not through a platform's message system.
Yes — Tulum in the Valley is a full-time vacation rental that operates year-round and is available every year for both Coachella weekends. Many of our Coachella guests return the following year and book early to lock in their dates.
Last-minute cancellations are unfortunately a documented problem at Coachella — some hosts cancel confirmed bookings to relist the property at higher festival prices. We have never done this. We have 200+ reviews and a 4.97-star rating built on trust and consistency. Once you're booked, your dates are yours. We also recommend always booking through a platform with buyer protection, or directly with verified hosts who have strong review histories.
Fake listings are real — some groups have arrived at Coachella to find their "rental" doesn't exist. Protect yourself by looking for: verified listings with hundreds of real reviews, a host with a multi-year track record, and video walkthroughs of the actual property. Tulum in the Valley has 200+ verified reviews, a walkthrough video, and real photos of the actual property. You can also reach us directly before booking to ask questions — a real host responds promptly.
Never pay for a vacation rental outside of the official booking platform. This is the most common festival rental scam — once you send money via Zelle, Venmo, or bank transfer, it's nearly impossible to recover. All legitimate rentals accept payment through the platform's secure system. We only accept payments through our official booking channels, never via personal apps.
No Surprises, No Scams
Coachella rental scams are real. Last-minute cancellations, fake listings, and price gouging happen every festival season. Here's exactly why we're different — and how to protect yourself no matter where you book.
200+ Reviews · 4.97 Stars · Real Guests
We have hundreds of verified reviews from real guests across multiple platforms. Not a new account. Not a pop-up listing. We've hosted Coachella guests for years and have the track record to prove it.
We Never Cancel to Relist at Higher Prices
The #1 Coachella rental scam is hosts cancelling confirmed bookings days before the festival and relisting at 2–3x the price. We have never done this and never will. Once your booking is confirmed, your dates and price are locked.
Real Photos · Same Property · No Surprises
Every photo on this site is of the actual property. What you see is what you get. No stock photos, no staged shots with rented furniture. The pool, game room, and bedrooms look exactly like the photos when you arrive.
Heated Pool — Actually Heated
Pool heating is an optional add-on at $65/day — and we strongly recommend it for Coachella weekend. Desert nights are chilly even in April. Request it when you book and the water will be warm and ready on arrival. No bait-and-switch, no surprises.
Direct Host Communication
You'll communicate directly with the property owner — not a property management company, not a chatbot, not a call center. Questions get answered fast. Issues (rare) get resolved immediately.
Price Locked on Confirmation
Your rate is locked the moment you book. We don't change prices after you commit, ask for extra payments outside the platform, or add surprise fees. The price you see is the price you pay.
How to spot a Coachella rental scam: Red flags include requests to pay via Zelle, Venmo, or wire transfer (bypassing the platform); hosts with new accounts and no reviews; prices that seem too low; and listings that pressure you to decide immediately. Always verify a host's review history and never pay outside a secure booking platform.
Also at Empire Polo Grounds
Stagecoach Country Music Festival takes place at the same venue, also in April. This property is equally perfect for Stagecoach — same 5-minute proximity, same private retreat.
