The house was wonderful for our 8 adults very clean and spacious! We had a great time in the pool perfect to cool off in the heat. we had a great time just hanging out at the house with the pool and game room and large kitchen table for board games was so fun. Had a few questions for the host and hey answered back very quickly it was a great experience
The house is in a perfect location to easily access all of the interesting local restaurants, the National Park, and attractions in Palm Springs. We would stay again!
My family and I decided on this property to host my birthday getaway. The owner was so great with communication and was very quick with responses to my questions. House was very nice, clean, and well put together. It was an amazing experience and I'm so glad we stayed here!
Very clean property with a lot of amenities. The host was easy to communicate with and responded to all questions quickly. We were traveling to attend a wedding and the house was great for 8 adults. Plenty of room. Two downstairs bedrooms had a lot of separation, with the two upstairs bedrooms being close to each other. All bedrooms were very spacious. We would happily book this property again if we return to the area.
Tucked away in a a quiet residential neighborhood, this home has an incredibly welcoming ambiance. The host was always quick to respond to questions, and incredibly accommodating, ensuring a comfortable stay. The home is beautifully decorated and cozy with fireplaces, outdoor heaters, and blankets, perfect for our winter stay. The spacious property was perfect for our extended family of 7 adults, offering plenty of space to gather for meals and games, and a little private time if needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thank you for sharing!
pros: stylish remodel of an older home a huge house with big bedrooms and lots of space to spread out (game room, yoga room, etc.)...would be excellent for larger groups large pool decent coffee gear (pour over and burr grinder) comfortable mattresses with memory foamcons:- A lot of the remodel was done with low quality materials (e.g. lots of the old single pane windows remain so it's quite drafty, the kitchen drawers are magnetic / spring and many do not work at all)- A fine neighborhood, but definitely suburbia feel (great for running errands in town but not the rural desert feel if that's what you want)...so it's convenient but a bit less aesthetic than being outside of town.- While we were there, it was too cold to use the pool, which isn't a negative of the house, just an FYI- Like so many rentals/ VRBO, the kitchen supplies (pots, pans, knives) were pretty battered and limited...but that's kind of what we expect in rentals- FYI the listing amenities include a hot tub, but there is not oneOverall, we had a great time!
Our group of two families had a fabulous time at the house. There was plenty of space for everyone and the home is beautiful. The host was very fast to reply when I had a question. I'd love to go back.
