Absolutely Perfect !! From the moment, we booked, our communication was excellent. This home is a treasure !! It's obvious the hosts love their home and have created an oasis for you to create your own memories. Everything is well-stocked, spotless, instructions for all appliances, etc. are provided. The pool area is expansive and the home is located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. We truly hope to return. It was a wonderful month in the desert !! Thank you to our wonderful hosts.
We returned this year for another fantastic stay at this home! The covered patio is great and the pool provided hours of entertainment. Doug and Diane are a pleasure to deal with and we hope to return next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home and pool were very clean. The house was perfect for our 5 girl getaway. Great location - close to restaurants, shopping and the Living Desert. I'm picky about my bathrooms and kitchen - and they passed my test!
The property was just as beautiful as the photos! It was our home away from home. Lots of amenities provided too. Great communication with Doug and Diane.

Wonderful place to stay. Nice having a garage to park in. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds are comfortable. We enjoyed having a hot tub. We like the location. Just sorry our stay was during the start of the virus and the closing of stores and restaurants. We felt the need to cut our stay and return home. Hope to visit another time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Doug and Diane’s home in Palm Desert. It truly felt like a home away from home in that all the essentials required for our vacation were available. The pool was amazing. We loved having coffee on the patio in the morning and watching the hummingbirds. Communication in terms of booking and checkout were clear and simple.

Exceptional and comfortable.
A spotless, comfortable, and well appointed home. Perfect for a family to gather, enjoy together and still have space for their own privacy. The pool and spa was large enough for a group. The outdoor space had plenty of shade areas with ample seating. The indoor open plan allowed everyone to gather and share their meals. The kitchen area was very well appointed. It was perfect for an extended vacation. The host and hostess were very responsive to all our emails and tried to accommodate our needs. Many thanks for a wonderful environment for our family.
