The house was exactly as described, and was perfect for our 5 night stay in Palm Springs. The pool was great, and the huge grass yard provided plenty of room to play catch with our dog. The hosts were very responsive, and the entire process was seamless.

Hi Bill, thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the home, the pool, and the spacious yard. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Our stay at the property was pleasant! It is an older part of Palm Springs, all a little worn but with a magical view, and close to downtown Palm Springs restaurants and fun.The house has been nicely updated - not top notch, but clean and with good decor. Beds are comfy, and the pool and outdoor area are great for morning coffee, pool days and evening cocktails. The management team are excellent and proactive in communication.

Hi Susannah, thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the home and neighborhood, and we appreciate your kind words about our communication. Hope to host you again!
Good communication from the host. Good location of the home in a quiet neighborhood close to stores and downtown Palm Springs. Easy checkin. Gorgeous backyard. Nice home. Primary bedroom and bathroom did not cool down like the rest of the house and was very warm throughout our stay, despite us using the fans. The bathrooms lack fans and a/c vents. The kitchen needs more silverware for the number of guests the home can accommodate.

Thank you so much for your helpful feedback and for staying with us, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, smooth check-in, and especially the gorgeous backyard.
I also want to acknowledge the cooling issue you experienced in the primary suite during your October stay. I’m happy to share that this has since been fully resolved with HVAC adjustments and added ventilation, so future stays are much more comfortable.
Thank you as well for the note about silverware. We’ve added additional sets to better accommodate larger groups.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we’d love the opportunity to welcome you back for a seamless, 5-star stay next time.
The house was a great space for 4 girls. We loved the style of the home and each of us having our own bedrooms. The pool area/ backyard was our favorite space. It was easy communicating with the property and got responses right away. It was a great stay.

Thank you Tawsha,
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come back soon!
Wonderful home to enjoy some sunny Palm Springs weather. Pool/spa are great features. Beds and furniture is comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Thanks for having us
Some cousins and I rented this house for my birthday weekend. It was just as awesome as the photos and we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back again!
I booked this house for a staycation with some of my friends to celebrate my 33rd birthday. The home was awesome, pool was great, and views were to die for. Communication with the hosts was easy and they were very responsive. Will definitely comeback for future staycations!
It was me and my adult children and we had a wonderful time. Despite the 117 degrees the pool splendid. The house was just as described and very nice, met all of our needs. Host was very responsive. Highly recommend this property!

Thank you for your feedback Amy. Glad you and your family had a wonderful stay. Come back soon!
We enjoyed staying at this property in Palm Springs. Everything is close by and easy to get to by car. It is on the flight path for the airport, but it isn't that busy and we found it entertaining. The layout lends itself nicely for hanging out with friends and having a good time together. We were sad to leave when check-out time came.
Booked this house for my daughter’s 30th birthday. Was super happy I did. Even with the 111 degree weather the pool was refreshing and cool.
The house was just as described and all of the rooms were comfortable and well stocked.

Thank you for the "fantastic" review! So glad you had a wonderful stay for your daughter Birthday celebration. Can't wait to host you again!
The property has a nice features, both bedrooms had private entrance to back deck. The loft feature was nice. The kids enjoyed the Birds Eye view from above. The fenced in yard was a joy for the pet babies. Definitely will look into other properties with host.
This was such a great house! Perfect location and thoughtfully decorated. The backyard was the perfect outdoor space to relax and hang out by the pool. My one feedback is about the heated pool. We paid extra to have the pool heated one day and it didn’t get warm until about 3pm. Once it was warm it fabulous but I wish we could have enjoyed the heated pool earlier in the day.

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for your review. It was a real pleasure hosting you! Yes unfortunately the pool does take hours to heat up which is why we generally request 24 hours notice before heating the pool so that you are able to enjoy it for the entirety of the day!
Great house! We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday with our two young kids and small dog in Palm Springs. The house had everything we needed and was exactly like the pictures and description. We really enjoyed the saltwater pool and hot tub with the amazing mountain views, and are glad we requested the pool heating. As noted in the description, the house is very close to the airport so planes fly over pretty low all day long. We didn't mind it (the kids found it fascinating) but it's worth noting that it's pretty loud and frequent. It's very close to grocery stores, and also not far from downtown Palm Springs and the aerial tramway. The host was great with communication and responding to messages in a timely manner. Overall, it was a very fun trip and we would definitely stay here again!
This house was perfect! Clean, comfortable, darling decorated. Pool and back yard we’re our favorite. Our grandkids came over every single day to swim and spend time with Mimi and Papa. Kitchen is well stocked with everything necessary to entertain. The owners were AMAZING…not at all intrusive, but always available when we needed something (like the pool heat I failed to organize lol my bad). One quick text and it was sorted. Went to need that night and had a warm pool the next day. The house is very centrally located; close to everything but still in a quiet residential neighborhood, only about 10 minutes from the airport. We were in Palm Springs to watch my husband play in the Pickleball Masters…we’ll be back again for the next tournament and will definitely rent here next time.

It was SUCH a PLEASURE hosting you and your family Kristie! Thank you so much for the sweet review and I’m glad you all enjoyed your week! We look forward to hosting you again next time ❤️
Overall, our stay was lovely and this property is great. As listed, it is directly in the flight path, so if you are a light sleeper, this may not be the place for you. The planes start at 5:20am! We added pool heat to our reservation and unfortunately, there was a technical issue and neither the pool or the hot tub heat was working. The host was very responsive and in the end, refunded our heating cost. Something to note that is not in the listing. The pool and the hot tub are not able to be heated at the same time, so you are choosing either pool heat or hot tub. You are able to switch between, apparently. Since it wasn't working during our stay, I can't speak to how that works. The digital house manual was very helpful when we were trying to trouble shoot the issue. Also good to note, they allow you to park in the garage, so that was a great perk to help keep our car cooler.
