The Life of Riley mini-estate was a great location for our family to land when we gathered for our Palm Springs destination wedding downtown. The host and the property manager were thoughtful and responsive to every question and concern. The house and pool were very clean and well supplied. The saline pool was a pleasant surprise, as it's much gentler on skin, eyes and hair than harsh chlorine. The kitchen was well equipped for our day-to-day cooking and food preparation. We enjoyed be centrally located to take walks through the movie colony and for short drives to hiking, museum visits and shopping. The artwork was a plus, with a variety of colorful, modern abstract prints.

Vacationing at the Life of Riley

Great property. Road out front is a little noisy. Property was well appointed, clean with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. There was plenty of odd street parking. Would stay here again.

Family Get Away

Our family lives on the central coast where it’s usually foggy and cold in the winter. We love coming to Palm Springs to get a break from the cold. We had a lovely time soaking in the sun. The house was a perfect place to do just that.

Perfect xmas present

We loved our stay! The kitchen was well-stocked, and the rest of the house offered plenty of space for our family of 6 adults and two toddlers to either be together or private - depending on who needed to nap or work. The best part was the lovely salt water pool and hot tub and generous play area. Close to Ruth Hardy park and downtown - we loved everything about this home and had a wonderful time! The host Daniel was also lovely to deal with and very helpful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Life of Riley - Life of Palm Springs!

We had an excellent time! There were 6 ladies over 60 staying for a week. It was clean and had plenty of towels. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you can need! A couple hiccups at checking in but resolved very quickly! We will definitely be back!

Perfect

The house was perfect for our family gathering! Plenty of space for all. The grounds are beautiful and the pool and hot tub were a real treat for us northerners. We especially liked the location, close to the airport and walking distance to the downtown area. The neighborhood was so nice to walk and admire all the beautiful homes! Thank you for sharing your home, we are already talking of our return!

Lots of room, good location

Close to everything in Palm Springs, lots of space for a large group or family. Beds are comfortable. Several burnt out lightbulbs, and light above dining room table and fixtures above fireplace in dining room could not be turned on. Some bricks/stones in backyard retaining wall need to be replaced. Enjoyed our stay and the pool and hot tub were great.

Girls trip

We are 5 retired women who travel well together but like to have our own bedrooms. This property was perfect for us with comfortable furnishings and a wonderful pool area. Our check in 3 stars reflect a plumbing issue which delayed our arrival time and heating the pool. Miguel and owner Daniel were easy to communicate with and responsive. We really enjoyed our 4 night stay!

Great home for a group of 6-8

We were very happy with our stay and would definitely return. The only complaint our group had was that the 7th bed (the futon) was unusable. We used the couch instead. That piece of furniture should be replaced.

GREAT PLACE

We had an absolutely GREAT time at this property. The owner and manager of the property were amazing and made everything so easy. We had one issue with the kitchen sink, and as soon as I called it was taken care of within a couple of hours. The only thing I wished they had was a covering for the table outside as when it got hot, it would have been nice to have a little shade. Other than that, this was LEGIT. Beautiful, spacious and relaxing. Everything you could ever want in a place to stay!

Great property

We were very happy with our stay. The place was big enough for seven adults. We cooked every day and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. The beds are comfortable. The location is great - just a couple blocks from Ruth Hardy park and close to stores and downtown. If you’re a donut fan, don’t miss Jelly Donut. The best part for us was the pool and hot tub. We paid for heat in the pool and swam every day. It was fantastic. Miguel, who welcomed us, was friendly and helpful. Communication with the owners was clear. This place is not luxury, and the street is a little busy, but it was absolutely lovely and perfect for us. A good value, great location, and super fun space inside and out. Would choose it again if I visit with a large group.

Girls Trip

Loved the location! Really easy to get to and get around. Loved it for that!The pool was great and the layout was perfect for us. There were 6 of us ladies on a girls trip in from Canada. I struggled trying to reach the property manager to see if we could arrive early, but didn't get anything back after a few requests. So, popped in an hour early just to toss our bags in the yard. The cleaners were still there and in a rush. They could have done a better job (I had to do some sweeping around the pool and such.) The property could use a bit of love and touch ups. Carpet and paint need refreshing, but overall comfortable stay. We had plenty of seating, the kitchen is very well stocked and lots of room to roam. Would stay again!

Description Overrated - overall rating of 2 as luxury not met

The Good - Location, well equipped kitchen, grounds were immaculate, good electronics, booking and communication with Daniel the host was exceptional. The Bad - Pool area came with cigarette butts on the decking. Our first night we discovered we had 2 spare rolls of toilet paper for a 5 day stay. The linens were worn, the master flat sheet had holes as large as lemon, likewise many of the towels were tattered. We only had heat to the hot tub one night. Yes, the property manager was contacted. By day 4 we had warm water to the hot tub, but not hot water and the pool cleaning person got us to that point. Tiles were missing from the hot tub and cement chunks coming off the decking. I could go on... I was expecting luxury as the description stated.
