Map & Owner's Profile
Dolce-5 Bedroom + Loft, 4.5 Bathroom (Sleeps 10 + 1 in Futon)
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Dolce
We chose to buy our vacation rentals for a few reasons. (1) because we live close to them and can manage them easily. (2) Most of the renters are snowbirds and the busy time of the year is from October 1st through May 31st. That's when it's the most wonderful and comfortable weather and we love staying here in the California sunshine and managing our properties. Off season is when we travel. We like to get out of the desert when the temperatures reach over 100 degrees - and with Patricia having retired from the airlines - it makes it easy for us to travel!

WOW!!! What a wonderful month our family of 10 had at this great property. Hal and Patricia have furnished it with everything that you need for your vacation to be perfect. The weather was very hot but having the pool to cool you when outside and the a/c system to cool you when inside the house then the extreme temperature (114 degrees) was no problem. When not eating out at one of the great choice of restuarants in the area we were able to cook dinner for the whole family in the gourmet kitchen. We took a 3 day trip to Las Vegas (4 hour drive) and much as we enjoyed the experience it was lovely to get back ``home`` to the peace and quiet of Palm Desert and our Dolce house. If you are looking for a vacation that offers great accommodation,golf,restuarants,mountain views and wonderful weather then this is the place for you. Many thanks Hal and Patricia and we look forward to a repeat visit sometime in the future. Anne and Maurice (and family) U.K.

MY FAMILY AND I HAD A GREAT WEEKEND AT THE DOMMANI HOUSE! THE HOUSE WAS FAMILY FRIENDLY. WE ENJOYED THE COMFORTABLE BEDS AND THE T.V.'S IN EACH ROOM. THE HOUSE WAS VERY CLEAN AND WELL-MAINTAINED. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY TO MY FRIENDS, TO STAY FOR 1 MONTH WOULD BE GREAT! TRULY THE PERFECT ENTERTAINMENT HOME!

great house with all the amenities you could ask for. Hal gives great instructions for everything so the stay was worry free. Also got the deposit back within a week. Only complaints were the 10am check out time, and the next door neighbor that is not happy that this house is a vacation rental and threatened to call the police if she heard any disturbances. Otherwise the pool was great and the kitchen had all the tools we needed to make some great meals. Our group was already planning a trip out next year to stay in this house again.
Owner response:10:00 am is the normal check out time and 2:00 pm is the normal check in time! It takes 3 girls 4 to 5 hours to clean and do all the washing of towels and bedding, make up all the beds and get that house ready for the next check in. I let this guest check in early because the last guest left on the 27th and house was ready with out a turn-around-clean. I always will extend the check in time and check out time if I don't have a turn-around-clean on either end. Pamela is right about the neighbor complaining. The HOA board has issued an order that we are to stop all rentals under 30 days. They are enforcing the CC&R's and I will no longer be able to rent under 30 days. I have changed the VRBO ad to monthly rentals only on this VRBO #252043 and on VRBO # 212751. I am sorry to all the wonderful people that have rented from us in the past. I have had nothing but 5 star ratings on this home since I started renting it in July of 2009!

Hal was awesome to deal with right from the start, we exchanged emails, he met us on site and explained everything to us in detail. He kept in touch with us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The house had a great layout for six men (5 bedrooms and a loft), the pool, hot tub, and patio area were ideal. The double car garage was large enough to keep our motorcycles in at night. We would definetly stay here again if we are in the area. The Palm Desert area has alot to offer to a wide variety of people.

What a great house! Hal was very easy to deal with and provided personal service to us when requesting tennis court access! This house is fully furnished - you'll want for nothing. Can't wait to come back next year! Thanks!

Our group has been coming to the desert for 15 years and this was our best rental experience. The house was so well equiped with cooking equipment, beach towels, laundry soap, and many extras that it made our stay stress free and easy. The location was great for us, close to stores and restaurants. Hal was a pleasure to work with. The WiFi was an added bonus. We'll be coming back.

If you are looking for a comfortable and wonderful property to stay in, THIS IS IT! Our group has stayed in this house for two years and plan on doing so as long as we come out to Palm Springs on vacation to play golf. We have four couples and we couldn't be more comfortable during our 8 nights in this home! We have a gourmet kitchen, wonderful pool and jacuzzi, huge tv in living area, outdoor cooking kitchen and a gated community! The house is centrally located and easy to get to any golf course, grocery stores and restaurants in PS and area. The owner Hal is easy to work with and has become a friend! We always look forward to our trip and staying in this home.

Thanksgiving '10 stay

I couldn't speak more positively about our experience with Hal at this property. We had 10 family members housed at this property and there was plenty of room. The house is in superb shape, Hal outfitted it comprehensively with towels, linens, and all of the accountrements we would need. We took a leap of faith here as I knew nothing about Hal and the property beyond what I had searched on the internet- it well exceeded our expectations. The security deposit was returned immediately, and Hal even came over during our first night to fix the disposal that we had probably misused. Hal also extended himself to us in other ways- I had provided the wrong dates in the lease document thinking we were renting it from Tuesday-Satur instead of Monday - Friday; Hal had another renter lined up starting Friday; he went out of his way to rearrange the schedule so that we could stay, didn't charge us, and had the other tenant start on a different date- he didn't need to do this but he did anyway. Our family will rent from Hal again any time we visit the area- it was one of those great leap of faith experiences that could not have turned out better.
