What a wonderful place to vacation and relax with family and friends. Well stocked kitchen, a great central courtyard and pool area, and individual rooms were spaced out that gave us senses of personal space. We enjoyed things to do around PS, but really just enjoyed being together at this house, playing card games and puzzles, and socializing and relaxing. Would absolutely rent here again. Site managers were very accommodating to check us in and show us around.
The host was great with communication and made check-in and check-out hassle free. The location of this property is excellent. Central to a lot of shopping and restaurants and the neighborhood is quiet.
The most amazing house. A perfect escape for 10 ladies looking to just chill out but have done fun, we never wanted to leave. We will be back, we loved the house.
Incredible location! The house was lovely and so thoughtful furnished. The beds were extremy comfprtable, and it was great hangout for our party of 10. The hosts were friendly and so organized! 10/10 stay
We absolutely loved this home and every aspect of the experience. Jeremy was very attentive leading up to our stay and welcomed me to show me around the unique aspects of the home.
The house was perfect for our family of eight. It’s in a beautiful setting on a quiet cul de sac with a view of the mountains and within a short drive from everything. The house is wonderfully comfortable and was immaculate when we arrived, the pool at a perfect temperature. The kitchen is fully equipped with anything we might have needed. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Checkout procedures refreshingly simple. We can’t recommend the house and the hosts more highly.
Fantastic property. Clean, well maintained. Kitchen was well stocked with spices and essentials. Had option of plastic (for poolside dining) and china plates and glasses
Villa Carmelita was excellent. Felt much bigger and much more chic in person (don't let the Bowie pillows fool you!). Hosts were easy and attentive. The kitchen is extremely well appointed from cooking to serving wares, all your essential spices etc. All the rooms felt very private and separate. Location is also 10/10.
We were a party of seven older folks. Our stay at Villa Carmelita was absolutely perfect. A building of charm, taste and impressive functionality. We wanted quiet; we got quiet. We wanted being at the base of a mountain; we got that. We wanted a great and roomy kitchen, a magnificent pool with cooling misters and fun fountain, a charger for our car, space for private time, comfort, good art, location to hiking trails and to downtown shopping and restaurants, some old school Palm Springs charm; we got it all. We left wishing that we could buy the place! That good.
We LOVED our stay at this amazing house. It was even more lovely in person and had everything we needed for a long weekend away. The beds were so comfortable, the location was peaceful, and everywhere you looked there was a beautiful view. The owl in the trees hooting away at night was the icing on the cake. Would 100% recommend and stay again.
This place is incredible. So lovely and well maintained. I loved that the location was super convenient to town (by car), <1mi to a great hiking trail and felt very private.
I highly recommend this house for any occasion, but it was amazing celebrating 50-year bdays with our girlfriends! Close to everything, fully stocked, responsive and gracious management team and beautiful views inside and out!

Glad to hear that you had a great time for your birthday celebration and keep us in mind for any future stays that you may have in Palm Springs.

The house was perfect! Plenty to do in the area with restaurants and hiking. We did not need to venture far and preferred staying close to home because it was so beautiful.
