It’s water that brings a desert to life. Which is why <a href="http://www.theriveratranchomirage.com">The River at Rancho Mirage</a> is more than simply a shopping and entertainment center. It is a destination. The River provides a park-like waterfront with an entertainment amphitheater, live music, fountains and cascading waterfalls. The River is an unmatched environment of style and beauty, providing a place to spend the day and enjoy the evening. The River itself is a stunning and creative destination that we know will be a new landmark for the desert.</p>
<p><span id="more-235"></span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>1. Space</strong><br />
Most private vacation rental homes offer considerably more space than you will find in the typical hotel room often at a reduced cost. Now, families can vacation together and still have room to breathe. </p>
<p><strong>2. Flexibility</strong><br />
Private homes offer excellent flexibility. Unlike a typical hotel room, most private vacation rentals include kitchen facilities. You don&#8217;t have to eat out for every meal.</p>
<p><strong>3. Personal Touches</strong><br />
Vacation rental homes often contain many personal &#038; convenience items that will increase the comfort of the guest. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.desertgolfoasis.com"><img alt="Vacation Rental Vs. Hotel" src="http://www.desertgolfoasis.com/images/slide_hotelvshome.jpg" title="Paradise on Via Bella Floor Plan" class="aligncenter" /></a></p>
<p><strong>4. Warm &#038; Inviting Atmosphere</strong><br />
Many vacation homes are used frequently by their owners and as such, they are not like the typical &#8220;sterile&#8221; environment found in hotels and other &#8220;vacation establishments&#8221;. No one gives a property more attention than its owner!<br />
<span id="more-230"></span><br />
<strong>5. Local Attractions</strong><br />
Homeowners and rental agents are often able to provide you with tips and hints that only the locals know. This can make a huge difference in the enjoyment of your trip. </p>
<p><strong>6. Savings</strong><br />
When you rent directly from an owner, you save. Printed rates are often times negotiable during the off-season. </p>
<p><strong>7. Special Attention</strong><br />
Renting a private vacation home offers the affordability, exceptional value, and personal attention that you deserve. </p>
