Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
I love the peace, solitude and warmth of Palm Springs. It is easy to get to, and a couple of days here is like spending a week in Hawaii.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Complete and total privacy, relaxation, solitude, and yet I can work from work when needed. Love to cook, and enjoy the large gourmet kitchen and outdoor BBQ area.

The moment you walk into this incredible property you will feel absolute privacy with opportunity for enjoyment at every turn. Howie the Property Manager was there to greet us with such a fun spirit we felt so taken care of our entire stay. Bill, the property owner has done an exceptional job of creating a wonderful environment from cozy bed linens to having every kitchen and bar requirement needed to be able to cook and entertain in every fashion. We cannot recommend this property enough. We have stayed at vacation rentals around the world, Bahamas, Paris, Byron Bay and this is our favourite home. Your expectations will be exceeded with this wonderful property! yay!! THank you Bill!!!
Owner response:WoW..what a great testimonial from a great guest! This is especially touching/sincere knowing that they had rented another home through an agency and were very disappointed after 3 days of staying there; VRBO is the way to go- they contacted me and we were able to accommodate their transition to my home within hours so that they could enjoy the rest of their vacation in a style to which they were accustomed to. Great followup with these guests and I would recommend them to any VRBO owner as ideal guests. Bill

We had the pleasure of staying at this stunning home over the 4th of July week. This home was all we hoped for and more. The indoor/outdoor living is something everyone should experience. The pool was amazing, the landscape was breathtaking and the inside of the home was a open, clean and livable. If you are heading to the desert especially with family and friends, I would highly recommend a stay at the Gaul's home. Myself, my wife and 2 teenage daughters (15 and 13) had the most amazing time. Thank you so much Bill for opening your home to us. We plan on returning in 349 days. :-)
Owner response:Summers are indeed excellent months to enjoy this home with the large saltwater pool and waterfall; the temp of the pool is perfectly inviting and you won't want to get out. However, if you do, the commercial misting system will certainly keep you comfortable. This was a delightful family that I have come to know now as friends and look forward to their return
Recommended for:Families with teenagers.

I probably first better state that I do not know wthe owner of this property. I had such a marvelous time during my stay, taht my reviw might sound like a "put up job"! I rented this Palm Springs house for 5 weeks, from March 17th and returning to rainy Portlnad Oregon on April 23rd. During taht time I had guests froom age 14 into their 70th years. all had a marvelous time. The house and setting is truly one of a kind. Sweeping views of the mountains from every window. Private without being isolated. It is an inside/ouside house, the gorgeous pool and patio are just part of the living room and family room. All the bedrooms are comfortable and airy. The showers are slate and open. While the house is elegent, it is also very "simple". The slate floors, marble counters and lack of clutter make it easy to keep and a delight to live in. The kitchen is a cooks dream, huge amounts of counter space, 6 burner gas stove, double convection ovens, 2 dishwshers and a huge refrigerator. The yard and patio are exceptional. The salt water pool is huge, tanning shelf is "cool", the water fall is a delight to look at and to listen to. Ample and comforatable patio furniture. While the house and gardens are on of a kind, perhaps my most appreciated aspect, was the setting. The house is in Palm Springs, but not really. You are 1/2 mile from the Caliente Indian reservation with its incredible hiking trails to 3 stream filled oasises. You are truly in the desert. But, just get in your car and drive 5 minutes to a large shopping center or 5 minutes to downtown restaurants, the Casino or even to the bronze state of sonny Bono! I guess every review must have something negative in it to make it seem real. so her goes. Get a knife Sharpener! Thanks a heap it was wonderful.
Owner response:It always warms my heart and brings a smile to my face to read such a sincere review and know that my guests have enjoyed themselves. The house has been fully booked since last November and I haven't had a chance to visit myself for many months as guest after guest have bumped me, but i promise when I get there at the end of the month to check out the condition of the knives and replace if necessary. Purchasing a knife sharpener is a good idea!

We just spent Christmas 2010 and New Years at this wonderful home in Palm Springs. Great location - we hiked almost every day - just a walk out the front door!! Thank you Bill and Howie for all your assistance and recommendations. We all loved the house and particularly the hot tub!! Our highest recommendation.
Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to say such nice things about your stay, I'm so glad you had a wonderful vacation and look forward to welcoming you back someday soon! I will also say to anyone on the VRBO community that has the opportunity to rent to this family, it has been an extreme pleasure getting to know them and comforting that they took care of the property as if it was their own.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children.

This rental is absolutely beautiful. The house is dramatic and stunning, and the backyard pool area is spa-like, tranquil and perfect! The neighborhood is quiet and well situated for daily excursions. The owner and house manager were a delight to work with and very helpful. We are a family with three smaller kids and this rental was perfect in so many ways, that our month's stay seemed to end very quickly. Thanks Bill, we hope to see you again!
