Beautiful retro Palm Springs house and backyard! The pool was great and listing photos were accurate, great location and comes with everything you could want for a weekend stay (pool floaties, lots of towels, full kitchen with everything you need to cook meals at home) My only complaint is the air conditioning sometimes didn’t work well in some of the rooms.

The bad far outweighed the good at House of Stardust. On arrival, we found ants in the primary bathroom. The “concierge” said he couldn’t help and directed us to guest services. I called Thursday evening and again Friday morning; neither call was returned. Ants also appeared in the kitchen and front bathroom, contaminating about 150 of our 500 in groceries. We spent the weekend storing food in the oven, microwave and refrigerator to protect it.The hot tub had an overwhelming chemical odor that never improved, and the timed backyard lights left the path to it very dark. Pool service was posted for Monday and Thursday, yet a technician arrived Friday at 12:30 while all five of us were swimming. We had to get out, and he left the gate unlatched.Other issues included doors that wouldn’t close properly, a useless vacuum, low branches hitting our car, and events at The Shag House next door. A truck and trailer blocked our driveway twice on Sunday for about five hours total. Cleaners arrived before our 10 a.m. checkout.The pool was wonderful, the beds extremely comfortable, and the kitchen well stocked. But management’s silence was unacceptable. Afterward, the only resolution offered through Vrbo was a 120 credit, which I declined—it didn’t even cover the ruined food. I would not stay again.

Really enjoyed our time at this property. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and had very comfortable beds! We spent most of our time in the pool and hot tub!

Thank you, Victor! We're so glad you had an amazing poolside retreat and we hope you return again soon!
Property was beautiful and well equipped. Plenty of towels and dishes etc very well equipped. Only concern for warmer months was that the two bedrooms on the west side of the house were difficult to keep cool. Quiet neighborhood and beautiful views with an ideal location.

This property is exactly as listed. The photos are very accurate. The kitchen and house was well stocked with everything you would need for a sun-seeking vacation. From refrigerator ice machine, smoothie maker, good knives for cooking and plenty of dinnerware and cutlery. And lots of towels for swimming and lounging.

Thank you, Roanna! We're delighted we could provide you with everything you needed for a fantastic family vacation and we hope you stay with us again soon!
The house was nicely decorated and stocked with quality items and basics for our stay. The attention to detail was noticed and appreciated. The pool, where we spent the majority of our time, was clean and perfect for our group. The grill was clean and ready for use. There was a very thorough instruction manual with every bit of information needed during our stay. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Lola! We're so glad that you had an amazing stay with us and we look forward to your next visit to Palm Springs!
We found the Stardust to be well-equipped and extremely clean. The pictures match the property, it is a very nice pool area. Our pool had an error and was not heated. They sent someone to fix it immediately and worked with us on the charges as the pool did not end up being warm until our last day. There was a beeping that lasted all day and night that we couldn’t find the source of. They also helped us look for the source and changed all the batteries in the smoke detectors, just in case. Overall, great house!

Retro/Amenities Need Improvement
The house is as advertised, retro. The pool area is wonderful. We decided to extend our stay shortly after check-in because we love Palm Springs but shortly after that we experienced problems with amenities. The wireless was weak and then stopped working completely. We had to wait 2 days for the cable company and after 2 visit they rewired the connection from the utility pole as damage had occurred. However, the modem was not replaced and we knew it was partly the problem as it was over 5 years old. The wireless continued to fail until we checked out. The tvs cut in and out due to the poor wireless system. Wireless is a key amenity for everyone who needs access to email and the ability to handle some work while traveling. The hot tub was also not useable. It was filled with sediment and dirty. Someone came over and cleaned it about half way through our trip but it was still dirty the next day which was confirmed by the pool cleaner. We were never able to use it. Perhaps there is a system problem but that should have been handled before we checked-in. Also, we found out that the golf course across the street is now dead and there are a pack of cayotes roaming the neighborhood at night. We also had 2 days of loud work going on on both sides of the house. Needless to say between all the maintenance work, it cut into a relaxing vacation.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home’s retro charm and pool area, but we’re sorry for the Wi-Fi issues, hot tub condition, and outside noise that impacted your stay. We’ve addressed the modem and reviewed our maintenance protocols to ensure amenities are guest-ready. We appreciate your detailed comments and hope to welcome you back for a smoother, more relaxing Palm Springs visit.
We stayed at House of Stardust for our kid’s spring break. The house location across from the golf course was ideal for morning walks and to the coffee shops. Only minutes from downtown, but we rarely left the house. We spent all of our time in the pool and lounging poolside. I highly recommend this house and look forward to staying again. Acme was very responsive and helpful during our stay!
Stay here - fantastic Palm Springs mid-century modern home!
This home is beautiful and spacious, with a lovely pool and outdoor area. The house is really well decorated, in a mid century modern style mixed with cool art and lighting. I chose it specifically because the decor looked curated, fun, and interesting - not like so many rental homes that are decorated straight out of Home Goods. It has a truly gorgeous location, the view out the front door is stunning! The kitchen and baths are all well stocked with quality equipment, and the beds and bedding are pristine and more important, very comfortable. The management company was friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back to this house!
We were happy with this place!
The only small bit of alteration I would make is having black out shades in the bedrooms. Early morning light coming in when you're on vacation trying to sleep in is a bit of a bummer. Also, zero shelves or drawers to put your clothes in. Some baskets in a closet, but it was difficult living out of a suitcase.
Other than that, the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and the pool was perfect!
Great house, great backyard, fantastic pool. The decor is very chic. The beds are all the same and very comfortable for everyone.
Mountain View’s and golf course in the front. Quiet area, quiet neighborhood, very good for families or people looking to relax.
The only hiccup is the amount of E-mails and check in instructions. Granted the town of Palm Springs is very strict. ACME hired a concierge company to assist with the check in. There was a very unprofessional incident with the concierge service. ACME did resolve it quickly and fixed the situation. A separate review for that concierge company was left on Yelp.
This is a fantastic property and a great relaxing place to hang out and enjoy the desert lifestyle!

I can't say enough good things about 'Stardust', myself, boyfriend and dog Apollo had the most amazing stay, 5 stars all the way, clean and beautifully kept. We are 100% coming back. The only one thing I would change was to rid of the spikey plant that is next to the sunbeds it's very dangerous and we had to put a bathmat around it to stop our dog getting hurt. Please remove it's an accident waiting to happen. Otherwise PERFECTION!! Also, if the owner ever wants to sell, please let me know! :)
Beautiful, clean property located across from a golf course on a quiet street. Kitchen is fully-stocked kitchen, beds are comfortable, and the back yard is beautiful. The large, walk-in pool provided a great escape from the heat. Would definitely rebook this property.

This property is perfection. Sparking clean, well stocked in terms of linens, hangers, kitchenware, laundry needs including a basket in each room for soiled clothes, and wide array of outdoor living items. We love the indoor/outdoor lifestyle and this home absolutely caters to that. The pool is very large, clean and felt perfect at their 85-degree heated recommendation. There are lounge chairs on both sides so you can easily relocate from morning sun to afternoon sun (or hide from it under one of the various umbrellas). Great lawn for the kids to run around. Totally private. Comfortable beds. Reliable WiFi for multiple video users. Less than 10 minute drive to downtown or flat sidewalks to bike there. I would have booked this again for spring break but it was already booked out. If you are considering this property, book it now!
