The host was very welcoming and answered all of our questions. Everything was in good working order. The house is ideally located and I would definitely return for another visit.

Parking was very safe and three spots were available. The hot tub heated up quickly which was nice. Lots of pool towels also.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Apr 2025
Loved the location! Really easy to get to and get around. Loved it for that!The pool was great and the layout was perfect for us. There were 6 of us ladies on a girls trip in from Canada. I struggled trying to reach the property manager to see if we could arrive early, but didn't get anything back after a few requests. So, popped in an hour early just to toss our bags in the yard. The cleaners were still there and in a rush. They could have done a better job (I had to do some sweeping around the pool and such.) The property could use a bit of love and touch ups. Carpet and paint need refreshing, but overall comfortable stay. We had plenty of seating, the kitchen is very well stocked and lots of room to roam. Would stay again!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Feb 2025
Close to everything in Palm Springs, lots of space for a large group or family. Beds are comfortable. Several burnt out lightbulbs, and light above dining room table and fixtures above fireplace in dining room could not be turned on. Some bricks/stones in backyard retaining wall need to be replaced. Enjoyed our stay and the pool and hot tub were great.
