People were easy to work with. The house was so nice and clean as described (clean is really important to me) and well stocked (plenty of towels in linen closet, plates, utensils and such). The beds were super comfortable. There were 7 of us, ranging in age from 16 to 82 and we all enjoyed it. My dad uses a cane and a walker and had no trouble navigating the house as it was large and open (small step up to get inside). Mostly we ate at the house except for one very yummy dinner at Johnny Costas in downtown Palm Springs. The mountain view from the backyard patio and the community pool was beautiful. We loved the open kitchen/living room floor plan. The community pool areas and tennis courts were perfect, large and clean and quiet with lots of chairs and shade area. There is also grassy areas at the end of the blocks which we used to kick around a soccer ball and hit a volleyball. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this property.

Recommended for:People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed here during the Christmas 2009 Holiday season along with another family. Just wanted to say that we loved the place. It is pretty high-end, great location next to the aerial tramway and awesome views from the backyard. It has an awesome fully stocked kitchen and everything that one would need for a more-than-comfortable stay. The complex itself is very quiet and has pool/jacuzzi which we could use even in winter! Fully recommended!

My friends and I, a group of 5 adults, stayed here over New Years, 2008 into 2009 and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The kitchen was phenomenal! It made us all want to rush home and make improvements at once. The back yard was sunny and spacious - great for barbecuing. The cabana was adorable The home is a very quick drive into "the strip" in Palm Springs, the Spa Resort casino is a 10 minute drive, and we didn't even begin to 'eat our way' through all the dining choices in the area. All of us were very pleased and impressed by the quality of the home and the immense care taken by the owner and manager to ensure we had a good time and that everyone worked well. I can definitely recommend this home during a stay in Palm Springs.

My family had a wonderful Christmas vacation at this home. The house itself was bright, clean, well furnished and in particular, the kitchen was spacious and well stocked. The location is good and the owners were easy to communicate with. We will definitely consider staying here again for our next Palm Springs getaway. Thank you so much!

We just got back after spending a wonderful month in Palm Springs and it was this home that made it a memorable stay for us. It is spacious, comfortable and provided us with all of the comfort and needs to make it our home away from home for a month. We loved cooking and spending time in that large well stocked kitchen (and grilling in the back yard, looking at wonderful mountains). We will be back and this house will be our first choice. Thanks Donna and Elizabeth to give a great start to 2007 for us! Jane and Jag

My friends and I (8 of us all together)just spent 4 days in Palm Springs; for most of us it was the first time. This home is perfect for a large group and conveniently located (within 10 -20 minutes) of everything! It was just as much fun to relax at the house as it was to go out and explore the sights. The beds are heaven - better than any hotel I have ever stayed in. I will be visiting Palm Springs again, and definately staying here!

Wonderful art pieces in the house. Beautifully furnushed. We have stay at many "delux" places---this was the best. We will return. Thanks for the great accomodations.

I just got back home after spending a week at your house in Palm Springs.My family and I spent a lovely vacation there. Over a number of years I have exchanged homes or rented homes in the USA on annual vacations.My experience in renting yours was the most pleasant I have had from the beginning till the end. Your description is exactly as we saw it from the moment we opened the door.It is spacious,comfortable,well laid out and beautifully decorated in all the details. The walled back yard is exceptional striking with the mountain views. A great effort has been put into preparing the house for vacation renters.I have never seen a so well provisioned house.Everything and more is there from the kitchen to the bath rooms. Vacationers, all you have to do is move in and enjoy yourselfs.

We had a large family Thanksgiving in this extremely comfortable home. Of the many (dozens) of houses we have rented over the years, this is by far the best equipped with every comfort of home that we could want (and then some), plus interesting art, photographs and ornaments. We would strongly recommend this home as an ideal location for a family reunion such as ours or for groups of friends to gather - there is plenty of space to accommodate everyone without getting on top of each other but also enough communal areas for wonderful gatherings.

Comment Text: This place is wonderful! The house is beautiful and spacious and furnished magnificently. Beautiful glassware, beautiful appliances, it was truly a pleasure. (I wish I had such awesome appliances in my kitchen!) Very comfy beds with great rooms to choose from. There's a huge backyard for BBQs, and the mountain views right outside the front door are breathtaking. I appreciate the bikes in the garage available for riding and the pool and whirlpool in the complex were very clean. We took a morning bike ride the day we were going to be leaving, and it was astounding. I have never appreciated the desert so much after staying at this place. The landlords are professional, conscientious people. The landlords must be decorators, because the place is outfitted so beautifully. There are stunning photographs on the walls. Just stunning. If you're going to Palm Springs, I highly recommend this rental.

This was my first experience with VBRO and I picked the right home to start with. The owners are very helpful and knowledgable about the area. The rental process and return of all deposits went smoothly. However, the home was the best part. A truly beautiful location, fabulous decor and all the comforts of home and then some. I plan on making VBRO my only choice for travel. Thanks again to Donna and Beth.

The house is clean and beautiful. The beds are extremely comfortable! The kitchen is spacious with everything you could possibly need. BBQ in the yard with breathtaking mountain views was great for cooking in. A nice quiet retreat. We had a lovely time at the pool area and the spa was nice at night. It is in a good location too! The landlords are great to work with and are very accommodating.

Dear Donna / Elizabeth,We were apprehensive about renting a “Brand NEW” home especially without pictures. This was our first experience of renting a destination home. Your reassurance and follow through was outstanding. Every detail and commitment you made was kept and then some. Everything from your quotation to the return of our deposit was professional and timely. Our rental experience was wonderful and beyond our expectations. We now have many wonderful pictures and memories of the 10 days spent in your home.Your home is everything that you say in your advertisement. We slept so soundly in your comfortable beds (the mattress pads must be the secret). Our trip to Palm Springs was to celebrate our parents 60th Anniversary. Everyone in our family (all 8) and our visitors were very impressed with the décor, spaciousness and quality of your home and the furnishings.Thank you so much for making our vacation so enjoyable and worry free. I highly recommend this property rental! Barry Brown & Family, Abbotsford, B.C. Canada
