My husband and I had the pleasure of renting this lovely two bedroom tennis villa at Mission Hills Country Club for the winter. Its location, within the gates of the very beautiful, private Mission Hills CC, gave us everything our hearts could desire. We joined the golf membership and played golf every day- and never tired of repetitiveness because we had three different golf courses to choose from. My personal favorite was The Pete Dye course, because it was set among the gorgeous homes of Legacy. But all three courses were meticulously maintained and each offered something unique and challenging. In addition to golf, we utilized the fitness center daily, played pickleball 2-3 times a week, and lounged at the heated pools and spa. We were so happy and active here, in part due to the long stretches of perfect, warm, sunny weather, that we didn’t have much time to miss home. But, the most amazing thing of all was who we rented from. Homeowners John and Ann Greene were the most wonderful hosts.
Not only did they fully outfit their home with every possible need- they also left us a stocked bar, a stocked kitchen, luxury towels, soaps, etc. Additionally, they purchased new appliances for the kitchen, a new BBQ grill and a beautiful fire pit for the outside. And, to top it all off, the unit came with its own personal golf cart- perfect for just tooling around Mission Hills, even though this unit was within walking distance to the gym, clubhouse, and tennis courts- but very convenient and essential for us golfers. We kept our clubs on the cart, parked it in the garage and zipped to and from the golf courses and practice facilities with ease without having to stop at the cart shed.
Renting from John and Ann was what made this year’s experience of vacationing in the beautiful desert of Rancho Mirage, CA, even more memorable. They were the most caring, accommodating, and attentive hosts that we’ve ever come across, and we have rented many vacation homes over the years. Even my emails and texts were immediately responded to and always with a favorable outcome. We even called upon their handyman, Garett, who was fantastic and always prompt to tend to our needs.
I believe that John and Ann pride themselves on being outstanding hosts who have not only staged their home with every conceivable item necessary to ensure their guests the most comfortable experience, but by making their guests feel truly catered to and loved.
