Five Star Vacation Experience

Guest: Four of Us (Vancouver, B.C., Canada)
Date of Stay: 09/24/10 Review Submitted: 10/03/10

Chris: Our visit was from September 24 to October 1, 2010. This is our second consecutive year staying in your home. This year, another couple joined us, who had not stayed at Palm Valley Country Club before. We now have 4 people in agreement as to the quality of your accomodation and PVCC. Your listing is accurate, except that it cannot convey how stress free it is to stay in your home. You have provided everything from the obvious to the small, intricate touches! With resepct to Palm Valley Country Club, we found everyone to be helpful, courteous and friendly, from Jessica at the reception desk to Greg in the Fitness Centre. Lima at the tennis pro shop is the best game arranger I have encountered on the Mainland or Hawaii. Your home, the attention to details to enhance the stay of visitors and the facilities at PVCC combined to make for a wonderful vacation. I hope we can come again next year and book for a longer period. None of us wanted to leave. Many thanks, Simon Wosk P.S. to VRBO - I note the VRBO "recommendation" categories include "Girls getaway", but not "Guy's getaway". This would be ideal for a "Guys' golf and/or tennis getaway". This category should perhaps be added to the VRBO choices for reviews.

Owner response:The "Four of Us" from Canada are repeat/return clients! :)

We are having a super holiday, everything is perfect just like you said. This is a beautiful part of the world and I have taken lots of pics to show back home. Your condo is lovely and it is excellent, all the extras you provide with the cupboard stocked, etc. My husband has been making cocktails, he thinks this is fab. We have been out daily on the bikes which I really enjoy as I love to keep fit but couldn't walk in this heat! The buddy is also great to get around. As you said, we are definitely not disappointed. I keep emailing my daughter who is getting very jealou as the weather back in Scotland is terrible. I keep going on about the heat, it is really warm but we're adapting. I think I could get used to this lifestyle. It must be great to know you can come down here and relax away from it all when you feel like it, you are very lucky and I thank you for sharing your home with us. We are having a ball and we still have time to enjoy it even more. A big thank you from the two of us...Sandra

Beautiful Condo at Palm Valley

Guest: Sue (Nevada)
Date of Stay: 05/16/10 Review Submitted: 07/07/10

We stayed for a week for our 25 year anniversary in this beautiful condo. Everything is freshly remodeled and furnished with everything. Palm Valley CC is very central, our favorite location in the Desert. This is a quiet corner unit. PVCC staff was rather snippy about using the Platinum membership guest pass. Be sure you have a formal lease agreement or they will give you a hard time. Really enjoyed the fitness center & classes.

Owner response:For future renters, I have taken care of the "poor" treatment of tenants by one girl working the front desk of the Club, and a formal lease is now not required, just the email stream confirming the rental will suffice! The management of the Club knows that I require hospitable treatment of my clients! :) Christine, Owner

I agree wholeheartedly with the previous comment. Your condo is delightful. You have thought of everything. I even appreciate the full-extension drawer guides in the kitchen and the shelf liner that matches the dishes! Thanks, Steve and Robbin Sweet

Chris, we have owned and stayed at numerous vacation homes in Canada and the US. Nowhere have we stayed where so many amenities and the "little things" have been thought of. These are not all obvious, but add immensely to the enjoyment of those who stay in your lovely home. Also, I must add, as a tennis player, PVCC is first class. Thank you, Simon and Sandi Wosk
