Why the Owner Chose Old Las Palmas
Being "in the business", I know to buy ONLY in the best location. Old Las Palmas is THE neighborhood in Palm Springs. It is full of multi million dollar properties with unobstructed GORGEOUS views of the mountains. It is also centrally located and is walking distance to downtown. There are numerous businesses (restaurants, convience stores, shops, etc) close by.
The Unique Benefits at this House
I love this home because of the privacy factor. Right after I purchased this home, I had custom gates made for the driveway and side walk. Also, I allowed the hedge to grow so I would have total privacy in the front and the back. No one will know you're there.....it's that private. Also, the location is central to most everything. Your within 3 blocks of the new Rivera Resort and Spa. GREAT food and a fun place to go for drinks by the pool while sitting by firepits. You're also in walking distance of the famous coffee house called Koffi. This is a fun place to go on the weekend mornings, take the dogs for a walk and let them play in the grassy courtyard. There are lots of places to eat within walking distance including a great Tai restaurant to Denny's. (something for everyone).
$75 million renovation to this landmark. The restuarant is great! Also fun to have drinks by the pool and firepits.
THE place to have coffee. This is the original location (not to be confused with the recently opened 2nd location in south Palm Springs which doesn't have near the charm. Next door is a fun card and g

PHENOMENAL house, location and view!

Absolutely LOVE this house. The open air floor plan is awesome. The presentation upon arrival was gorgeous. This was a summer stay so we were happy to have and very impressed with the extensive, very classy, plastic ware (plates, silverware, serving platters, drinking glasses for every type of beverage imaginable). The pool chairs and chaise lounges were clean and comfortable. Plenty of towels provided! There was even an umbrella for the outdoor table, and rafts for the pool. Great landscaping - lovely mixture of grass, fruit trees and cactus. Everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking and more! House was immaculate (so clean we stayed barefoot!) and bedrooms were attractive and spacious. Very private. Never heard a neighbor or street noise. One bathroom is tiny (not an issue) but the other is huge. Would love to bring my dog next time.
Owner response:Thanks for the comments. Unlike rentals that can sometimes be cold, we keep this home well supplied and stocked with not only necessities but luxuries (frontgate pool floats, hotel quality linens, towels, etc). Whether your'e drink of preference is a martini, margarita, champagne, wine or iced tea, we have a glass for indoors and plastic for poolside. Our housekeeper meets you upon arrival and yes, it's immaculately clean.

While the photos look great, it looks even better when you see it. The furniture is placed a bit differently and a few new bed linens - not much to improve on though. The decor is great with the perfect mix of new & vintage, and had many unexpected pieces to admire. We had several discussions about the architecture & decor. The landscape is lovely as well. We did a couples weekend with a group of 6 and it was fantastic. The house manager was there upon arrival to show us around and was so helpful and friendly. The place was well stocked with towels, dishes, pool toys and it has a great direct line BBQ, the beds were comfy as well. The place is just so relaxing. We had plans to go out on the town one night but were just enjoying ourselves so much we stayed in. In fact, we barely left the place all weekend. My husband and I had the bedroom with the private bath (the private bath is teeny-tiny) which I thought was going to be a bit of an issue as we are both quite tall but it was so completely fine. There is plenty of room for several people to cook, plenty of room to lounge. It has everything you need. I felt so comfortable, I wish it was MY house! LOVE IT! We will return!
Owner response:Another 5 star review. thank you. The private bath has a shower (no tub). The main bathroom has a tub plus a separate shower stall. As you can see from this review and others, this is not just a typical rental, it's stocked and feels like a home.

We had the BEST time and the house was AMAZING! We all loved it and are already trying to put together a return trip for fall! The things that were the most amazing: how stocked the house was - everything that we needed was there as if it were lived in year round. No running out to buy this or that. We never even left the house once we got there! And the house was so comfortable and accomodating for everyone - even though there was only 1 "master" bedroom, each room really was set up as such. We had so much space and loved that all the furniture was so comfortable and up to date... nothing was 2nd rate. The openness and light were incredible - we all wished we could have stayed longer.

I had a girls weekend here for my 40th birthday. It was so relaxing and great to have someone meet us at the property. Hard to leave and highly recommend the property. You can't bet the privacy, location and comfort. Thank you again!
Owner response:We believe it's better to have our house manager meet you in person to check you in the property and show you around. Much better than chasing down keys and trying to figure things out. This property is DEFINITELY PRIVATE and Location is SUPERIOR.

This is a great house, well equipped, and in a great location. The check in service with a real live person was a plus as well.
Owner response:Location is supreme! You're very close to everything. We feel it's only right to check you in when you arrive instead of chasing down a key at a remote location. This way you can be shown around and answer all of your questions.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway.

We just came back froma wonderfully relaxing trip to Palm Springs. The owners were extremely professional and organised and everything worked as plannend. All the pics promised turned out to be true. The house is very spacious, furnished with magnificent taste. We were three generations in the house ages 2-70 and all of us felt at home! Hope to stay there more often in the future!
Owner response:Thanks for the compliment. Look forward to your return.

Thanks Chuck and Craig, Your house was perfect for our small group of friends while staying in Palm Springs for Modernism Week. It was also good to be able to contact you directly prior to our visit to discuss the facilities. The house is in an excellent location, tastefully furnished, quiet and comfortable. The little extras in the cupboards, like spices, soaps etc, make it more like a home than a house rental. I would highly recommmend your house to anyone wanting to experience Palm Springs. Thanks from the Australians

Enjoyed this house with my family for Thanksgiving, the home is private and well cared for in a great neighborhood; close to shops, restaurants, grocery stores and casino's. The kitchen is great - it was well stocked with anything and everything you would need to prepare a special meal. The home is very comfortable with many areas to relax but for me the greatest part of the house is the backyard. Glass doors roll back from the living area giving the house a great flow and create an indoor/outdoor space with the backyard. There is a gas grill, fruit trees, the pool was heated to a perfect temperature, the furniture surrounding the pool was clean and comfortable, and the views of the mountains were spectacular!! In addition, Marylyn and Chuck are so friendly and easy to deal with - just very accommodating. It was a great stay and I look forward to booking again in the spring. Thanks, Chuck!!
Owner response:I think reviews are great and most important is if they are current. This review is from November 2010.
