Fantastic Getaway

We loved this house from the moment we drove up to it and it only got better. Great decor, beautiful back yard...just fantastic! Pool was great during the day and the hot tub was great at night. All the galleries, shops and restaurants were very close. The packet that we were sent had everything we needed in it and the suggestions for dining were spot on! Would definitely recommend this property to anyone staying in the area!

Had an amazing time and can't wait to visit again! We could not peel ourselves away from the lush back yard and pool. Marcel was very easy to deal with and was quick to assist with some pool-heating confusion. The very detailed instructions came in handy to answer any other questions. No hesitation in recommending it to anyone who wants to get away from it all...and yet, be only a few minutes from all that Palm Springs has to offer. Thanks!
Owner response:Happy to hear you had a great trip!

This house was outfitted with everything we needed for a memorable family vacation. Very comfortable, spacious, and the layout of the house brought us all together and within sight of each other. The outdoor patio was home for all of our meals, and opening the doors and windows allowed us to enjoy the magic of the desert winds even as we slept. We loved it. With much gratitude, The Huffmans

My wife and two young daughters (5 & 8) just spent a week at the house. Our time there could not have been nicer. The house itself is clean, elegant (with a laid-back, modern sensibility), comfortable, and very "liveable". Lots of windows and sliding doors, so very light and airy and open. The property itself is fantastic - terrific little pool, mature palm trees and flowers all over, a nice hot tub, lawn, extended patio, fire pits, grill. And with the 3rd bedroom, Grandma as able to spend time there as well. Palm Springs itself is a great town with much to do. Hiking in Indian Canyons, great restaurant choices, Thursday night street fair downtown, nice shopping, and for the kids lots of adventures too - Living Desert Zoo, Children's Museum, mini-golf, and of course hours of swimming and a park with playgrounds a block away. And don't miss the Tram - expensive but spectacular. Shorter or longer hikes in the surrounding parklands are memorable. Highly recommended, we'll be returning.
Owner response:Glad you enjoyed it!

We found the Modern Alexander to be really comfortable--exactly as presented on the web site. The home is in a very pleasing neighborhood. We're huge fans of "Alexanders" and it was such a thrill to see a whole neighborhood filled with these magnificent homes! We were there during the hottest month of the year and were very comfortable in the house. The pool and hot tub are a delight--and we were delighted that the yard was so very private. The yard is beautifully cared for and much larger than I expected. We like to cook and found the kitchen very functional. We'll definitely come back to this property on our next Palm Springs adventure!
Owner response:Glad you enjoyed it. We do too!

We loved staying here! I wanted to move in permanently. The house is casual but elegant. Cool contemporary art, great mid-century furniture, smooth concrete floors and a chic grey 70's fireplace in the master bedroom (loved it!) awesome outdoor areas...loved the lava rock firepits and covered patio. I love the Parker and Ace but didn't really ever want to leave the house! -Jody , LA, CA (blackwagondesign@gmail.com)

We spent a long weekend in this property over Presidents Day weekend this year (2010) and had never really gone the Vacation Rental route before, so were a little skeptical. It turned out great. The property was all it was described to be, and more. It was spacious and clean, very well equipped, and the sleeping accommodations were excellent. My family was really happy that I did the homework to uncover this option. (The alternative would have been all separate hotel rooms. The description didn't mention that the sofa in the living room was comfortable for sleeping, and in fact worked out really well for an unexpected guest. It's a quiet neighborhood, although it's fairly easy to hear others in the living room when you're napping in one of the bedrooms. The jacuzzi and pool were clean and nice, and the common area - kitchen and living room - we're great for socializing and hanging out. The outdoor area was nice too, with a huge backyard (the property is at the end of a cul de sac.) Management returned our full damage deposit very promptly, within just a couple days, which we appreciated. We would stay there again, absolutely!

A++++ We absolutely loved this place! The house was gorgeous, well decorated, and well maintained. The owner was very organized and provided us with all the info we needed in a timely manner, and even provided restaurant and entertainment recommendations. We also brought our dogs along and they had a great time in the large yard. Would definitely go back!

My husband and I stayed a weekend here with our toddler and dog. Everybody loved it. Spacious, bright, and comfortable. The pool is large and the yard is huge! It is very private. Owner gave full instructions for everything from the air conditioning down to the remote controls. There is even a list of entertainment/restaurants in town. The price was perfectly clear, the transaction easy, and my deposit returned quickly. Marcel was also very pleasant to deal with. I have already recommended this house to many clients and friends. We will be back!
