Diane was very accommodating with our early morning schedule. We appreciated the early check in since our flight from the east coast was in by noon. The house was amazing…exceptionally well located and appointed. I have stayed in a lot of VRBO rentals and never been in one with such a well equipped new kitchen. All the bathrooms are also nicely updated. The floor plan is a bit quirky…and spread out and that gave our large three generation group plenty of room to gather together but also to have space when we needed it. The gardens and pool area are beautiful. Some other guest mentioned a problem with uneven steps …I am eighty years old and had no problem maneuvering the single steps up or down at some of the thresholds. We had a magnificent stay.

We enjoyed a delightful "Old Palm Springs" hacienda style home with new Palm Springs features, esp. the large pool and lovely grounds! Very well managed, equipped, and maintained. Newly updated kitchen. Comfortable furnishings, with plenty of room for our family of eight. Plenty of room to park our 3 cars and possibly more. Good location for access to Palm Springs and to the surrounding area. A great choice for us.

We had a group of 12 adults celebrating a milestone birthday and we absolutely loved this unique, comfortable, and beautiful place! Check in and check out were simple and straightforward, the property manager was readily available for any questions or needs. The rooms were all different from one another in a great way. We enjoyed using the kitchen, loved the pool and hot tub, and found everything great. We even had some unexpected poor weather, but everyone enjoyed spending time in the house, which made it no big deal! I definitely recommend this interesting house!
