Enjoyed desert heat in the 90's and a cool pool was blessed relief Felt totally private and apart from the odd take off and landing (usually mid morning) there was nothing to disturb the peace and feeling of seclusion. I felt at home immediately. Great pool, great decor, plenty of towels for indoor and out.

My girlfriends and I just returned from a weekend stay here. We are all moms and needed a relaxing, quiet break! It was perfect. The house is decorated beautifully. It is modern yet cozy. The pool is beautiful and the first night we swam late at night and were floating on our backs gazing at the stars! There were 6 of us and each shared beds. It was still incredibly comfortable. We spent most of our time in the backyard where the fountain and firepit were going. We drank wine out on the patio at night and had a beautiful experience. Kitchen is completely stocked with everything you need. We saved a ton of money because we bought our groceries and cooked every meal except dinners. We felt safe, secure and pampered. You must go!!!

We rented this property in mid-September and had a wonderful time. The house is exactly as-advertised - and more. We were surprised to find a fountain water feature and gas fire pit when we arrived. The pool was great and the kitchen was stocked far better than we expected. We will definitely hope to stay here again on a future visit to Palm Springs.

Spent a week here in July. Loved every minute of my stay and everything about the experience. James (the owner) was very helpful and professional from start to finish. The house is fantastic! Even better than I expected. Very clean, bright, gorgeous views, cool mod-design and decor. Has everything you need... plenty of parking, tons of towels, fully stocked kitchen, great a/c system, comfortable beds, flat screens in living room and master, outdoor barbecue. Backyard/pool area is heavenly! Very tranquil and wonderfully landscaped. Beautiful rock waterfall and awesome fire-pit. Pool is huge! Spent most of the time floating on the awesome pool floaties. Big, comfy, shaded outside seating area. Lovely outdoor shower off master. House is perfectly located in a nice, quiet neighborhood just a couple of minutes from downtown Palm Springs. Can't say enough great things about this house. I didn't want to leave... and I will definitely be back!

I went up here last weekend with 5 of my girlfriends and it could not have been more perfect! The house is GORGEOUS! The pictures really don't do it justice. We lounged in the pool (there are some particularly comfortable float-y mats) and in all the various lounge areas in the house. It's also conveniently located close (2 miles or so) to downtown. It was just an all around fun, relaxing weekend. I think my favorite part was the out door shower. I took one every day and it was liberating :) The only downside was there were flies everywhere-- but that could just be the area. All in all, I highly recommend to anyone and can not wait to come back!

We stayed a week for our summer vacation. And we enjoyed this house (was a stylish, very clean and well maintained) so much. The house was definately best place to visit and stay in Palm Springs. We had so much fun in the pool, BBQ in the garden and what we liked the best was outside shower during sunset! It was like a dream house. Owner and property management poeple were very nice as well. We definately would like to come back again!!

We were 4 adults, 2 preschoolers, a baby and 2 dogs, and each of us had a great time here. We spent most of our trip by the pool because the backyard had everything we wanted. The pool was nice and warm, the waterfall had the kids mesmerized, and there were so many places to just lounge and relax. There was also a wall of trees around the entire perimeter making it extremely private, and it was so quiet and peaceful. The interior was beautiful and surprisingly kid friendly. OH, I have to mention how comfortable the bed in the master was!! I slept better than at home! James was great, and so were Tom and Todd. Overall, a great rental experience.

We stayed here for a second time during the first weekend of June. Our first time was with another couple and our dogs. This time it was just my husband and I with our little pooch. Loved it the first time, loved it even more the second time. The best thing about this house is that the backyard is completely walled-in and private. That's really important to us because our dog can be a little escape artist. We have complete peace of mind that he is safe while we are floating around in the pool. Also, you cannot "feel" the neighbors at all. The pool is on the larger side compared to other PS home pools. The pool is relaxing in itself but the sound from the rock waterfall feature just adds to the ambiance to make for a true resort feel. The fire pit is gorgeous right next to the waterfall. We enjoyed drinking wine while sitting around the fire. North PS does get windy starting in the evenings but we actually enjoy the desert wind and the sounds it makes as it dances around the palm trees. The landscape is well done as well as the lighting. We really enjoy eating outside on the outdoor dining table as well as hanging out on the beautiful, modern outdoor lounge furniture. Both times the house has been really clean and tidy. Plenty of towels. Check in was a breeze. The kitchen is well equipped. We highly recommend this house.

Everything about our stay from the time of booking our reservation to the time we left the house was smooth, relaxing and fun. James' home was a home away from home for us (my husband and I, grandma, our 2 young daughters and the family pooch). The house is clean, airy, bright and homey. We will definitely consider coming back again!

We had six of us head down to Palm Springs and this was a perfect place to stay. The home was stunning and extremely clean! The pool was a perfect way to beat the heat as we loved our daily morning floats in the pool. There are 3 bedrooms - all of which can easily sleep two people. The owner was very easy to communicate with and we had absolutely no problems checking in/out. If I ever head back to Palms Springs, I'd definitely stay here again!
