Quiet spot in Palm Desert.

A pleasant spot on a quiet street close to town. Nice to sit by the pool in the shade or the sun. Nothing to complain about at all. Good value and a very responsive host.

Napa family vacation

We loved our stay at this incredible home! The views and the sunsets are spectacular and we were in awe the entire time. The proximity to visiting vineyards was excellent. Close to Jack London State Park where we hiked a couple of days. We are happy we read the reviews and decided to have a day dedicated to relaxing by the pool and enjoying all the amenities. This home has everything you need and more! Highly recommend!!!

You would be on the 2nd and 3rd floors with both those decks.

Enjoyable Stay

This property is centrally located to the ferry, beach and shopping. If you like hiking/trail running/biking the trails are a short distance away. The owner is detail oriented and responds quickly when contacted. We liked having a balcony on each level. We enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again should we come back to Santa Catalina Island.
