Vacations in South Palm Springs

This was the perfect one bedroom apartment for our two month stay in the Palm Springs area. My husband and I stayed in Gustavo’s flat for two months in the summer and fall of 2018. It was perfectly located, quiet, and had everything we could ask for for our brief stay in the Coachella Valley. Gustavo was an excellent host.

This condo is in a quiet, well kept, desirable location in Palm Springs. Other condo residents are warm and friendly. The decor was appealing. We enjoyed our time there.

Initial issues we had with the tv/cable not working were addressed by Gustavo through Ilia.

We spent 4 weeks in Gustavo’s condo. He is easy to deal with and responds very quickly. The condo is actually quite large and is very quiet.

The pickle ball courts are nice. The condo is in a good location, there is a mall with a Ralph’s grocery store, some other stores and several good restaurants a 5 minute drive away. There are several hiking trails 10-15 minutes away. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend staying here.

I stayed in Gustavo’s condo the first three months after my son and I moved to Palm Springs. It was also my first experience renting from a homeowner rental site like VRBO. All I can say is that Gustavo's place will be a hard act to follow. It's very comfortable, extremely well-stocked without being the least bit cluttered, and tastefully decorated (I actually took note of how furniture was placed and other details to replicate in my future house). I also found the condo very easy to keep tidy—I love the wood plank style floors, which are easy to run a Swiffer over. An unexpected luxury is the incredibly thick carpet in the bedroom—your feet just sink into it! Best of all is the view from the balcony, which encompasses a gorgeous view of the tennis racket shaped pool framed by tall palm trees and mountains. It was also lovely in the morning to step out on the balcony to such a quintessential Palm Springs view. Trust me, the pictures don’t do this view justice. One of my favorite rituals was to sit out on the balcony each night with a glass of wine, watching the shimmering pool below. I also made great use of the large hot tub, which is right by the pool. I should mention that the location is ideal, as well. Just a quick jaunt to good grocery stores, and a five minute drive to downtown. Lastly, I have to leave a special word about Gustavo and his property manager, Ilia. Both were so courteous and responsive to any question I had, including a minor operational issue when I first arrived that Ilia quickly took care of. And I appreciate that Gustavo sent me instructions ahead of time on where to find the mail box key, how to use the remote control and all those little things that are helpful to know before you arrive instead of having to figure it out afterward. Again, I think this will be a hard experience to beat—it truly combined the best of both worlds of direct communication with a very pleasant homeowner, while getting the spotless amenities of a good hotel. I would stay here again—and hope to!

I have been visiting Canyon Country Club Estados for the past 10 years and have stayed in this condo twice. It is perfectly situated in a lovely residential neighbourhood near downtown, shopping, hiking trails, golf courses, the airport and much more. The condo itself is well maintained and Gustavo is excellent to deal with. He responds promptly and professionally. The condo boasts the best view in the complex - facing west overlooking the pool and the mountains. The people in the CCCE community are friendly and welcoming to newcomers.
