<human>: So I'm going to Coachella this year with a group of 12 and we're currently planning on staying in 3 hotel rooms in Palm Springs. The rooms are, as expected, pretty pricey ($150/night) and being college students, we are having a hard time coming up with $1800 on housing for the weekend. We had high hopes of finding a house for rent in the area but cannot seem to find anything within our price range that isn't already booked. Also of note, although I would love to camp, the rest of my group (some more domesticated girls and guys) would rather sleep in than have to wake up to the heat early in the morning.

Does anybody know of any better sites or communities through which we might have better luck finding a house to stay at? We'd be looking for a 3-5 bedroom house for 4 nights. All of our group are responsible upperclassmen from Princeton University and we definitely do not fall into the drug-crazy partier stereotype of many festival goers. Really we're just looking for a place to knock out in between the insanity that is Coachella. 

Our areas of interest in preference from best to worst are:
Indio
La Quinta
Indian Wells
Bermuda Dunes
Palm Desert
Rancho Mirage
Thousand Palms
Palm Springs
Cathedral City
Desert Hot Springs

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: Looking for advice on how to more successfully find available housing around the Coachella Area (websites/online communities/redditors). Specifically, 3-5 bedroom house for 4 nights in one of the above listed areas.
