Perfect spot1
Loved the property and the privacy/ separation of the bedrooms/ suites. Much appreciated that the kitchen was fully stocked, including a juicer for fresh juice in the mornings. There are some restaurants withing walking distance and the neighborhood is great for runners. We spent most of our time in the gorgeous yard, enjoying the pool and views. Book it; it will not disappoint!
We loved the swank house!
We were a group of folks who were escaping the smoke and ash from the Thomas fire and this place offered a great respite. This is a really great property for a group, we would definitely recommend it to friends especially since each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. The kitchen is really well stocked for preparing meals and there are plenty of lounge areas on the property. The decor and design are so fun and the record player was a hit.
Beautifully renovated posh getaway
I stayed at Swank House over Thanksgiving with my husband and son, as well as my brother and his boyfriend. The property was beyond any of our expectations - the pictures really don’t do it justice. It is absolutely gorgeous, and the finish work is truly high-end (not just meant to look decent from a safe distance). My son is on the autism spectrum and is obsessed with water, so the four custom tiled showers and pool/spa setup were a dream come true for him. We had the pool heated and the temperature was perfect for relaxing and cooling off a bit (although the water was very comfortable and by no means too cool — we were there during a November heat wave with mid-90s temps). The tanning ledge is great for adults to lounge with a drink and keep an eye on the kiddos while also enjoying the pool themselves. Plastic plates and cups are provided for outdoor use to prevent glass breakage.
The kitchen is well stocked with pretty much everything you might need: pots and pans, utensils, serving dishes, spices, and dish soap. I’ve stayed at vacation rentals that didn’t provide staples like paper towels and trash bags, but Swank House was fully stocked. There was even shampoo, conditioner and body wash in all the bathrooms. My one suggestion would be to provide a Swiffer WetJet and cleaning pads to keep the gorgeous marble floors clean, because after a few days of indoor/outdoor living there tends to be some dust and dirt tracked inside.
Daria was very easy to work with and a good communicator, so we felt taken care of. There was a lovely note and a treat waiting for us when we arrived for a seamless check in with our personalized entry code.
I would not hesitate to recommend Swank House to others and hope to return myself. It was a thoroughly relaxing stay in a beautiful old neighborhood in Palm Springs.
Swank is right!!
My husband and I took a long weekend in Palm Springs (first time there) and loved the city and loved the house. Daria was great and easy to work with and the house had everything and more. We will definitely stay here again!
The house is in great shape, very well maintained
It was all we expected. Great pool and very well appointed indoors. We would recommend to anyone who may be looking to rent in Palm Springs.
We will return....
Beautiful home and stunning views! They have thought of everything!! Really nice job.
