We had an amazing stay at this house! The pictures are completely accurate, and everything was exactly as expected. The beds were super comfortable, and access to the home was very easy. The location is great, close to the airport but still peaceful and convenient. The pool was incredible, and I highly recommend getting it heated during the winter months. Overall, a fantastic experience and would definitely stay again!

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you had an amazing stay at Risky Business – and that the home, location, and pool made for a great experience. We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you again on your next Palm Springs visit!
The pool remote did not work. The pool was not heating. The technician came out and couldn’t fix it. We waited. They fixed it the morning we left. We couldn’t enjoy the outside on our last morning as landscapers were trimming shrubs. The WiFi was terrible. The only reason we chose this house was because of the back yard and the pool and spa.
We came into town for my 40th birthday. This house was perfect for everyone in our group! Lots of space to hang out together both indoors and outdoors. The pool is the perfect size, and very refreshing. This time we had all adults, but would definitely come back with our 7 year old.

Thank you for the 5-star rating! Happy 40th — we’re glad the house was perfect for your group with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, and that the pool was refreshing. We’d love to host you again, including with your 7‑year‑old next time.
I booked "Risky Business" for a birthday getaway and it did not disappoint. From the smallest details like hand soap/lotion in every bathroom to the big details like super comfy beds and fun amenities (video game console!), Risky Biz was super fun even in "winter". I hope to come back in warmer weather to really soak up the great pool.

Thank you, Carole! We're glad that "Risky Business" met your expectations for a birthday getaway. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the amenities and comfort. We look forward to hosting you again when the weather is warmer!
What a beautiful home. We celebrated one daughter phd graduation and another daughters gender reveal (we’re having a grandson yay) the house was perfect. From the decor inside to outside. Even more spacious than the pictures reflect especially the master bedroom. The house had everything we needed to make our vacation memorable. Plenty of towels, extra blankets and the kitchen was well stocked. We loved the pool we stayed outside for the most part swimming, watching the hummingbirds and eating. Our 9 year old grandson was entertained with the arcade game, ping pong and of course the pool he gives it 10 stars lol.

Thank you for choosing Risky Business as the place to share such a special time for your family! Congratulations!
Risky Business was very spacious for our large group.
Just a little FYI, the living room/dinning room area & kitchen never cooled down. Temperature in that part of the house was always warm. Adjusted the temp on the AC per the house manual and had no luck. The hallway bathroom tub/shower control froze up, but Danny came to the rescue to fix it for us. All of us enjoyed the arcade game. Fun for all ages.
Thank you Acme

We could not of asked for anything more. The house "Risky Business" was perfect. It was super clean, the kitchen was extremely well stocked, and there were plenty of bathing and pool towels for everyone. The house was the perfect layout for all seven of our family members who stayed there with plenty of room and has king beds in all 4 bedrooms. The pool and spa worked flawlessly, also the ping pong table and arcade game went a long way keeping everyone entertained. We had a few fun family gatherings around the outdoor table with the cool fire feature. Also I must admit I enjoyed an afternoon snooze in the teardrop chair.The location is perfect, close to the airport (3 minutes) and about 10 minutes from downtown Palm Springs which has an abundance of restaurants and shopping.We will definitely look up "Risky Business" on our next trip to Palm Springs and cross our fingers it's available.
The only reason this home gets four stars overall from me is that some of the pillows in the couches and pillows on the kitchen bench were a bit tired looking. A few had stains on them. Also, when we arrived the previous tenants trash was still outside. Acme took care of removal / cleaning trash spillage right away. One of the fans broke in a bedroom, not ideal during 115° days, but again Acme sent someone out ASAP to fix it. I agree with previous reviewers this home does lack serving ware, ie: platter dishware, larger bowls for group meals, that sort of thing.
The master bed did not have a fitted sheet, which made getting tangled in sheets easy.
The bathrooms and bedrooms overall were very nice and comfortable. The decor all over the house is super fun. The pool was incredible and relaxing . It was too hot to grill or eat at the beautiful and massive table outside, but it was nice to have the option. I would 100% consider staying here again, so long as they fix those few things.

Whenever ACME receives a request from a guest, we do our best to make sure that issue is addressed and fixed with 24 hours. Thank you for letting us know about the issues you encountered.

This property was clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed. Perfect fit for our family! Property manager and check in process was flawless.
We could not have been happier with our stay at Risky Business in Palm Springs. Everything was exactly as advertised, the house was super clean, the pool and spa were so fun for our family, the kitchen well stocked , beds very comfy, yard worked very well for our family and labradoodle! We'll be back for sure!
We gathered as a family for an adults only birthday celebration spread over a long weekend. Highlights: spacious, immaculate house, yard with shade respite from the bright sun, hot tub (perfect after management adjusted the temp upward), easy access to Joshua Tree and great Palm Springs shopping and dining, challenging local hikes, very quiet neighborhood.
Management was very responsive when we called to report a broken faucet in the guest full bath. Plenty of towels and complimentary coffee and toiletries.
We loved everything about this house, from the clean, bright design to the open layout to the way it was furnished with everything we might need, in good working order. The pool/spa area and outdoor lounging and dining areas were wonderful—great views of mountains and palm trees as we basked in the sun with hummingbirds flying by. There was an issue with the keypad when we were checking in, but the company responded promptly, got us in through a workaround, and fixed the keypad without inconveniencing us. We definitely hope to stay here again.

My wife and kids loved this place! We had a blast with all the amenities (arcade game, ping pong and the pool) and so much space. The bar was fun to hang out during the evenings. We would definitely rent this home again. Things to know about the house: the pool is shallow throughout (which we ended up loving), right off a major street so out first night was disruptive - however we slept very well since it was like white noise, window coverings were a huge plus since it kept the house cool and did not allow the sun to wake us up, additionally the amazing BBQ has a light for night time cooking. This is a wonderful property and very clean.
