Perfect for families

We were blown away when we unlocked the front door and opened up to the gorgeous vaulted ceilings and spacious living area. The kitchen is top notch and so convenient. It had every little appliance we needed. We loved being right on the cart path and close to 2 different pools for daily walks with our two babies. The layout was ideal for creating a like-home environment for our getaway in the desert. We even had a couple friends stop by and comment how amazed they were at this place which totally made us feel like we made the best decision! Not to mention, Debra is extremely attentive and warm and accommodating. Enjoy!

This is our second stay at this unit and we had another fabulous stay. The condo is bright, spacious, and exceptionally comfortable ( especially the king bed in master suite).We loved eating on the patio and watching the golfers ( being golfers ourselves, this was great). The Management(Debra)is extremely helpful and pay attention to the littlest details.Thank you again. We are looking forward to our return in 2012. Thanks again for a lovely stay.

The condo was impeccable in every way. Location is excellent, easy access to everything but also quiet and private. The pool and jacuzzi were terrific and clean and only a minute walk,so convenient , view over the golf course was private and calming. Excellent experience and I would happily come again especially since they accept dogs:).

Wow I have stayed at a lot of places in Palm Desert but this has got to be the best one. It was like staying at a private resort. It was so quiet and peaceful and it had everything I could hope for. Beautifully furnished, very clean, fresh smelling, and organized, amazing view of the golf coarse, great lighting, easy 1 to 2 minute walk to Pool and Jacuzzi, and every other amenity I can have hoped for. The management was fantastic, very helpful and knowledgeable. i already have the condo booked for next year and i couldn't be more excited!

WARNING rancid odors, stained filthy carpets and misrepresentation of condo

Guest: Wendy (Edmonds, WA)
Date of Stay: 04/09/11 Review Submitted: 04/25/11

I am a flight attendant and travel quite extensively, and never have I had such an unpleasant experience as this one. My husband and I took my elderly parents to Palm Desert after the death of their beloved pet, to try and cheer them up. Do not trust the so-called "owner", listed as Debra. Please contact Monterey Country club management before renting from this so called "owner" who turned out to be deceptive and misrepresented the condition of the condo. When asked to fix the problems with the unit, such as the rancid smells and dirty barbecue, not effecient lighting, etc., the response from the so called "owner" listed, was unbelievable. Not only were they not going to fix any of the issues, they were certainly not going to refund us if we moved out, and said if we were to call back, they would file "harrassment" charges. Someone should investigate the validity of this "owner" and their business practices, as the management at the club said this person rents other properties that are in foreclosure. It was a horrible experience, and it ruined our vacation as we had to contact local authorities due to the harrasment by the so-called "owner", and leave a day earlier then what was rented. We never recieved a refund for leaving a day early, nor did we recieve any refund on the cleaning deposit. We left the condo in much better shape then what we found.

Owner response:This traveler not only got a beautiful condo on the golfcourse for a reduced rate but also wanted a FREE holiday as she felt she should get a full refund. Her only complaint about the condo was that it didn't have a hairdryer and she wanted brighter lighting. She also wanted ALL light bulbs changed to a brighter voltage. These were the the only problems she complained about. Also, Wendy could not figure out how to plug the phone cord into the computer as she explained she was "computer challenged" and it took 45 minutes for the manager to walk her through how to do this. She then proceeded to call the manager at 11:45pm at night to complain about the lighting and no blow dryer and wanted to be charged nothing for that night stay. The manager called the next morning to say that if the accommodations were not acceptable to her, we could check her out with a full refund. She decided to stay and proceeded leave 3 harassing messages a day. She was so aggressive that she went to Monterey Country Club Association to complain about not having a blowdryer (and to send someone to clean her barbecue?!). The Association said they couldn't believe what they were hearing and told the traveler to not come back to their office as her complains were petty. Even though she continued to complain, she only stayed in the property for two days -- she then left her elderly parents at the condo for an additional 4 days. If the condo was THAT unacceptable, why did she not check out? Why did she leave her parents there (who appear to have had a good experience, they did not call with any complaints)? No one at Monterey Country Club has said anything negative about this management company and the company always has return visitors. Monterey Country Clubs always recommends travelers to call this company. This traveler uses harassment to try to get a full refund for her holiday. I feel very sorry for the next people who encounter this problem tenant. This condo (and all other properties represented by this management company) is of the highest quality and continues to have very positive reviews on this VRBO page. All properties manged by this company have return visitors year on year and we are deeply saddened this individual continues to wage this campaign of lies and misrepresentation.

Great experience two years in a row

I've stayed in this unit with friends twice now, and we had a great experience both times. The unit is much nicer than the pictures make it seem, with a beautiful view of the golf course and big patio. We had no problems with hot water as the review below mentions. Beds are comfortable, great kitchen, big living area, and a nice quiet pool. I would highly recommend this rental - we plan to come back in the future! Thanks Debra
