Our family of 10 enjoyed our stay in the Brahea property. The pool was gorgeous (chilly, but we chose not to heat it), and there was ample sitting room outside to relax. It was great having plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Luckily for us, the weather was very temperate; otherwise, the A/C might not have been strong enough. Overall, very nice house and suited us really well!
Staycation with family and was looking forward to some pool time. NOT! Pool was infested with bugs! Initially, we thought they were some random bugs that came in due to heat, but nooooo. The walls were covered with them. Disgusting!
Flies everywhere and we spent the two days trying to catch them. Ants in the kitchen.
One of the fans also had a broken blade, so hazardous. There were other problems, but they were minor.
We ended up leaving early! We have stayed at and enjoyed other properties in the area and this place is a major disappointment.

Hi Jenny,
I wanted to take the time to address your review as I do feel it is unjust. We are located in the desert, during the summers we are infested with bugs. As we mentioned during your stay, we have pool maintenance twice a week. The pool tech puts chemicals to kill these boat bugs that cling onto the pool walls during the summer but there is only a limit of how much can be put as to not completely contaminate the pool water. We also have monthly bug treatments for the homes. Outside of these steps, it is not in our control. We have multiple properties across the valley and in the summer, these boat bugs will latch onto some pools and not onto others. Regarding the flies/ants, we also have in our notes to make sure all windows and doors are closes, and no food is left out because again flies in the desert is common so there needs to be certain steps to ensure they don't come into the house. My property manager informed you that we had our handyman coming to fix the fan due to back to back bookings and his availability. We are a residential home and not a hotel, but we always try our best to ensure our guests have a wonderful stay within what we are able to control. Thank you!
This property is great for a bunch of guys to hang out after a long day of golf! Everything was perfect. The easy access, open space, great yard, and comfortable beds. It’s close to everything! The yard was incredible! I wish we planned it better to take advantage of it. This place os a must when visiting Palm Springs.
Amazing place for a multi generation 75th birthday celebration
The place was immaculate, beautiful, and in a great location. The updated kitchen was very well appointed and so organized. All enjoyed the outdoor space areas - fabulous pool and hot tub, outdoor pool table, fire pit, picnic table and other outdoor conversation seating options. The inside was fabulous with many bedrooms and baths to accommodate multi families, allowing the grandparents a spacious master suite on the 1st floor. Multiple televisions , board games, pool accessories -something for everyone, provided great bonding experiences for out of town school aged cousins who rarely see each other. I had many questions prior and was amazed how fast they responded. Heartily recommended!!!
Our family had the best Thanksgiving week while coming together at this beautiful home. The kitchen was stocked with pretty much anything we could need, the bedding is nice and soft. House is clean and roomy for large families to come together but also have their space, and the outdoor area is perfection. Owners were very helpful and quick to reply to any questions we had (pool/hot tub system is a bit confusing at first if remote cannot be located). We would definitely come back to this house and were very sad to leave.
This property is GREAT!!! All rooms are nice & clean & very comfortable! We used all the things…pool table, fire pit, pool, hot tub, grill! All the extras were AMAZING! I will definitely be back! Hosts were easy to work with & kind! Highly recommend!
My husband and I stayed here with our 7 kids for a week! Plenty of rooms and bathrooms. The pool and grounds are clean and the owner provided more than I expected. We definitely want to stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay! Everyone kept saying it was like we had our own personal resort! Only it didn’t come with a cook ha! We had a minor issue with the hot tub jets not working the first night but the owner was very attentive and sent pool maintenance the very next morning. Within a few hours the jets were fixed and ready for that evening! We appreciated all the both rooms, it really gives the house a “hotel feel” we were the only ones traveling with kiddos so we used the bunk bed room and king room with shared bathroom it was the perfect space for family of 4 and the king mattress was so comfortable. We slept great! We had 7 adults and 2 kids in our party. There was plenty of space for 3-6 more because the bunks are Queen over Queen and we never used the room off the kitchen. We would definitely visit again.
Nothing but wonderful things to say about this home. Spacious house with great outdoor area as well. There were six of us(three couples) that stayed here and we easily could have had 1 or 2 more couples without feeling crowded. Nice neighborhood. Owners were great communicators. We had just a couple of very minor issues and when we messaged them, they were very quick to respond and take care of them. They texted to ask how things were going and make sure everything met our expectations. Very comfortable beds. We didn’t have the best weather during our stay so weren’t able to use the outdoor area as much as we would have liked to but there was lots of seating as well as a large pool and nice hot tub. Would definitely choose to stay here again if we were back in the area. Thank you Pablo and Erin!
