How to Host the Perfect Poolside BBQ at Our Indio Vacation Rental

  • Posted on

Imagine this: the warm California sun glistening off a 40-foot private pool, the scent of freshly grilled food drifting through the air, and friends or family laughing under the covered patio. If you're planning a group vacation to Indio, you'll want a plan that includes memorable outdoor dining and entertainment. At our Indio vacation rental, the perfect poolside BBQ isn’t just possible—it’s practically a guarantee.

Step 1: Make the Most of the Outdoor Kitchen

An outdoor kitchen is a non-negotiable when you're selecting an Indio vacation rental. Our fully equipped outdoor kitchen includes a natural gas BBQ, a pizza oven, and outdoor fire features to set the mood when the sun goes down. Whether you’re grilling steaks, making wood-fired pizzas, or roasting marshmallows, you’ll have everything you need to create a culinary experience right by the pool.

Step 2: Dive into Poolside Fun

A pool is another must, and the pool we've built for our guests is hard to beat. The luxurious 40-foot private saltwater pool is the star of the show, complete with a slide, sun deck, and hot tub. The mister system keeps everyone cool, even during those sunny Indio afternoons. And when you need a break from swimming, our yard games—corn hole, putting green, and table tennis—keep the vibes high.

Step 3: Set the Scene for Entertainment

Some guests might not be hungry or in the mood for swimming, but they can still hang out in the luxury outdoor space. Under the covered patio, you’ll find a smart TV and fireplace. It's the perfect spot for watching the big game or streaming music while you grill. Inside, guests can enjoy our game room with arcade games, air hockey, darts, and more, or relax in the theatre room with a 120” screen and luxury leather recliners.

Step 4: Serve Up a Crowd-Pleasing Menu

You want a menu that is simple to achieve (for you) yet delicious (for everyone). Here’s a simple poolside BBQ menu guests always love:

  • Grilled marinated chicken skewers or juicy burgers
  • Fresh garden salad with seasonal produce
  • Wood-fired vegetable pizza
  • Fruit platter with watermelon, pineapple, and berries
  • S’mores roasted over the outdoor fire feature
  • Fresh lemonade or signature cocktails

Step 5: End the Night in Comfort

After the BBQ winds down, you'll love being at a comfortable and spacious vacation home. No need to get an Uber home or make plans to meet up in the morning. Instead, when you vacation together each guests can retreat to five spacious bedrooms—with a mix of king, queen, and bunk beds—and unwind in any of the four full bathrooms + one half bath. Essential toiletries, fresh linens, and a washer + dryer make your stay completely hassle-free.
