Everything about our stay at Smoketree was excellent. The people were very friendly and the pickleball was great.

It was a pleasure hosting you. You two are always welcome to return. Thank you for your prompt and clear communication, as well as the assistance with our condo and mail issues.
This unit has been very nicely refurbished throughout the entire suite. Very clean with kitchen stocked with everything we needed. Lovely patio with view of the mountains. Location was perfect for us near anything we might need from shopping to restaurants. The large pool was close to this unit with plenty of chairs and umbrellas for our comfort. Wes is an excellent host.

Ray,
We're so happy you two enjoyed your stay, and were there during the perfect late winter weather! You two were simply wonderful guests. We know you went out of your way to care for our unit as if it were your home. We want to acknowledge that, and your willingness to accommodate our handyman to address the small leak. Having guests like you puts us at ease as hosts, and we would like to thank you for your visit.
Safe Travels to you. Please return anytime life permits!
Sincerely,
Wes & Paula
There wasn't one thing that I wanted or needed that wasn't thought about and available in this condo. I enjoyed myself and felt at home immediately making my stay in Palm Springs exactly what I was hoping it would be. Thx!

Anita, hosting you was our pleasure, and was as easy as can be. Our housekeeper had little to do upon your departure. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. You are certainly welcome to return anytime.
Sincerely,
Wes & Paula
The condo is clean, nicely renovated, well stocked and in a fabulous south Palm Springs location. It was perfect for my month-long stay.
I also enjoyed the pool, hot tub and lovely landscaping around the complex. The west facing private patio looks out on a garden with the mountains in background.
Wes responded immediately whenever I had a question. Thank you!

It’s guests like Claudia, who make managing a vacation property very easy and worry free. We are truly delighted that Claudia had an enjoyable stay, and we feel fortunate to have had her inside our unit, and looking after it in our absence. . Claudia was very friendly, & easy going. We would never hesitate hosting her again. Safe travels Claudia! / Wes & Paula
Great location with great amenities(pool, hot tub, tennis, pickle ball, private backyard, etc!). Walking distance to groceries, restaurants, etc.
Condo is as advertised, very accurate and well appointed.
Wes is great to deal with and very understanding when we had to leave early!
We highly recommend and will return again!!

Hello Dale; We feel so fortunate to have had you as guests. Covid 19 caught us all by surprise. You were extremely kind guests. We’re so sorry you were forced to leave prematurely. Thank you so much for taking care of the place, keeping it so clean and for your positive review. We would love to have you back.
Hopefully you’ve received the credit to your card.
Sincerely,
Wes & Paula
I stayed in the condo for close to 2 months... it is beautifully remodeled and fully stocked with everything you might need. The patio is private with a beautiful view. This building is much quieter than the ones where the bedroom faces 111. It’s a lower level unit, so no stairs. There is some footstep noise from the upper unit but this is the case in all the lower units and not overly bothersome... the pool and hot tub area area are amazing, with friendly neighbors. Wes was responsive and helpful, easy to work with.

Nice apartment in great location, some noise and odor issues from neighbours
We spent a month in this large one-bedroom unit in the Smoke Tree Racquet Club condo complex, adjacent to the lovely Twin Palms neighbourhood. The location is excellent, within easy walking distance to groceries and restaurants, close to many golf courses and hiking trails, and directly on the city bus line into downtown Palm Springs, about 2.5 miles away. The complex has tennis and pickleball courts, a swimming pool, and shared laundry facilities with coin-operated front-load machines, serving a mix of permanent residents and vacation rental tenants. The unit itself is large and comfortable, with good sized rooms, and has been nicely renovated with care, including quartz counters and new appliances. The west-facing patio remained in the shade until late afternoon in November, and the condo stayed cool, despite 90F weather. The kitchen was stocked with basic provisions and spices, and Wes was responsive and easy to work with. The only issues we had are ones that were beyond the owner’s control. During our entire stay, there was an almost continuous odor from the next-door resident’s vape, incense and pot use, which made it difficult to enjoy the patio or open windows and doors for fresh air. And we heard their occasional middle-of-the-night domestic disputes. Despite this, we enjoyed Palm Springs for the climate, activities, and entertainment.

Hello Tanja; thank you for your very detailed review, and your patronage. We’re really happy to hear how much you enjoyed the area, but We’re really sorry to hear about the neighbor issue you described. We hope that didn’t put too much of a damper on things. We will be following up with our HOA directly, and try to determine the best way to address that situation. We hope you had a safe return home.

A great stay
Nestled in a great neighborhood, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The unit was spotless upon my arrival, and had basically all that I needed. The private patio and general privacy of the unit had me always feeling comfortable. Everything in the unit is new or nearly new and very modern.
Wes was always available to respond to any questions I had, which I thoroughly appreciated.
I loved having restaurants and a grocery store right across the street within a mere 3 minute walk. The surrounding neighborhoods of Twin Palms, Deepwell Estates, Indian Canyons, Tahquitz River, are all just steps away and thoroughly enjoyable to wander around.

JUST COULDN'T BE BETTER - FABULOUS CONDO.
My wife and I have just returned home to Ireland after spending one month at Wes & Paula's wonderful condo. They were so helpful during the booking process and made sure that everything was in order during our stay. This one bed condo has recently been totally renovated and we were so pleased with the location, cleanliness and convenient Ralph's supermarket - a 5 minute walk away! Trader Joe's in Cathedral City is only 10 minutes away by car and The Palm Springs Buzz - a convenient way of going into the centre - has a stop convenient to the Smoketree shopping centre.
Our condo was conveniently situated to the large swimming pool/hot tub on the complex. There are so many restaurants in Palm Springs to choose from but our favourite from previous visits is still The Thai Smile, followed closely by the Fisherman's Market, LuLu"s and Billy Reed's. Favourite coffee shop of course is still the Coffee Bean and Tea House - take a seat here right in the middle of Palm Springs and watch the world go by!!
We just can't wait until we return for another vacation at this fabulous condo!! Many thanks Wes & Paula.

About the host
Hosted by Wesley Hester Jr
Hello fellow travelers. We are Wesley and Paula, and we're the parents of 4 adult children. We own several rental properties, and enjoy domestic and international travel, including land and cruise vacations. We are proud property owners, and take great care to ensure amenities function properly. We take great pride in maintaining the type of homes we would enjoy occupying, and strive communicate honestly and promptly We recently purchased the home, and completed a 6 month remodel project. Afterwards, we took a few days to decorate it for your stay. We do this because we truly value your business, and it is our privilege to make you comfortable during your stay. We strive to earn your Top Review. When the home is not rented, we plan to visit often, and conduct (or arrange for) any necessary repairs or maintenance. As a retired police officer, Wesley works as a full time Executive guard for a Fortune 50 company, and spends time maintaining multiple residential properties. Paula is a recently retired former Executive Assistant /Manager for a large corporation. We manage our own properties. We are both born and raised in San Francisco East Bay Area. We currently live in the suburbs of the East Bay.
Why they chose this property
We recently fell in love with the vibrant and diverse Palm Springs community. We enjoy good food, friendly sophisticated people, and a constantly welcoming atmosphere, and found this and more in the greater Palm Springs. There are so many things to do in the region. As brand new property owners from the SF Bay Area, it will likely take us years to fully appreciate this beautiful area.
What makes this property unique
Easily keep in touch with friends and family using our WIFI, or new landline with free USA, UK, Canada, Mexico and Europe calls (over 30 countries). The slower pace of this desert enclave does wonders for our mental health. We hope this does the same for you!
