About this house rental

Hokona House - Meredith Lodging
City I.D.#031442 – TOT 3203

With looks like an architectural magazine cover, yet also cozy and comfortable, Hokona House is very tastefully put together, with upscale modern brand choices throughout, and feels more like your own private Palm Springs pied-à-terre than a vacation rental home.

Tucked away on a quiet neighborhood street, yet very close to lots of hot spots, this 3-bedroom 3 bath bungalow has everything you could want for your long weekend or seasonal getaway. With the bedrooms situated at opposite corners of the house, you could even decide to share it with others without getting in each other’s way.

Finding your way through the lush yet desert friendly landscaping in the front courtyard, you enter the house and will immediately leave the stresses of your everyday life behind. The living room, with sectional sofa and fireplace, and the fully equipped kitchen and dining area divide the house for added privacy. On the west side are two comfortable guest bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill style bathroom between them. One of these bedrooms has a queen size bed, and the other has a king bed and direct access to the back patio and swimming pool.

On the east side of the house, you’ll find the spacious primary bedroom with its king bed, writing desk and en suite bathroom, and access to the pool patio. Also at this end of the house is a small private gym with a Peloton Tread and other professional equipment to help work off last night’s martinis.

Outside you’ll really enjoy the covered patio and sparkling blue swimming pool, surrounded by privacy hedges and lush landscaping, providing an almost tropical feeling. The entire pool area is furnished with plenty of stylish lounge and dining seating. For your convenience, a third bathroom with sink and toilet, and an outdoor shower are also on the pool deck. And there’s a patio kitchen and bar for preparing meals al fresco, that includes a natural gas grill, beverage refrigerator and sink. On the other side of the house, outside the gym, is a private hot tub.

Hokona House is a very short walk to some of the most popular restaurants, bars and resorts in the Coachella Valley, including MICHELIN-recommended Bar Cecil, Mr. Lyons Steakhouse and Ace Hotel, or a little longer walk to all the excitement that downtown Palm Springs has to offer just to the North. Feel free to park the car in the driveway and forget about it.

We had high hopes for this property as a recurring summer rental, but unfortunately, it fell short in several key areas. While the home offers a spacious layout, large pool, and in-home gym, it lacked basic amenities, consistent cleanliness, and overall comfort.Pros:Expansive pool and well-utilized outdoor space w/multiple seating areas, outdoor shower, and poolside half bath. In-home gym and cozy living room. Kitchen had a few high-end appliances (e.g., Vitamix, Technivorm).Cons:Air Conditioning: Thermostat couldn’t be lowered below 75F w/o fees. One side of the home stayed uncomfortably warm throughout the day, and during the night the A/C was set for auto shut-off and the house reached 80 degrees (we woke up in a sweat!). The master bath had no airflow and was unusably hot. We ran a box fan the entire time.Pool: Dirty upon arrival and difficult to maintain due to falling leaves. The surrounding trees offer great privacy and shade but contributed to the debris.Bathrooms: a leaking toilet, broken shower handle, and water spraying out of the shower door, requiring constant cleanup with towels. It was small and impractical for the # of guests. Cleanliness & Quality: The master toilet didn’t appear cleaned (pink w/hard water stain). Lounge furniture and cookware were low quality, and the dining setup was not ideal for 6.While the property has potential, significant improvements are needed in comfort, cleanliness, and maintenance to meet expectations.

After returning from a three week trip to Costa Rica in mid-January to the cold of the Midwest we decided to book a one week PS getaway and found this house - the main attractions: lap pool for one of us and Peloton for the other to make workouts easy; close access to our favorite nearby hiking trails; quiet neighborhood within walking distance to Bar Cecil and Breem Ice Cream shop!

Love this neighborhood. The house is clean, comfortable and well appointed, as advertised. There want enough toilet paper or garbage bags for our 10 day stay but for the most part we had everything we need, good kitchen supplies, etc. We enjoyed the pool and spa and home gym. Would recommend. Note to dog owners: the yard is fully fenced but the gates don't lock. We didn't have any issues but just fyi

Beautiful home. Loaded with amenities. Extremely clean. Great pool and weight room. Very comfortable beds. Property management company was very responsive. Would definitely recommend this property! I later saw it was an animal friendly rental high concerned me, but not a trace of animals ever being there.
