Multigenerational family friendly; responsive, helpful, and friendly host; very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Hot tub temp was good, pool temp could be warmer than 85 and is not large but fun! Great range of entertainment!! Gorgeous surroundings and close to El Paseo.
Hot tub and pool were great, easy to heat up the hot tub. Great communication from the host, she answered all our questions quicklyThe house is perfect for a large group, plenty of space and great community areas we could all hang out. Location is a little bit outside of the el Paseo main area but it is an easy 5 minute drive and the house is quiet at night. Highly recommend staying here.

Nice big house. Lots of activities for all ages. There were 17 of us and had a great time. Great host Vlada who responded very timely to our concerns/questions.
We were a group of 6 who popped into town for golf and relaxation... couldn't have found a better spot.
Close to everything you need in Palm Desert, this quiet, relaxing, and spacious home is like your own resort in the heart of the desert.
We had the best stay at this property. It had everything we needed to have the most relaxing and comfortable getaway. Wouldn't change a thing and highly recommend it. The kids had the best time with the amazing backyard and pool. Big kitchen that was stocked and lots of rooms!

Vlada
Great family vacation at this home. Lots of stuff for the kids and adults to do. Putting green, pool, pool table, and ping pong were all a big hit. Probably our favorite thing was a family movie in the cool movie theater every afternoon when it got a little too warm. One of the garage spots was deep enough for a Suburban or pickup truck.

We had an amazing time at the Desert Castle. House had all the amenities we could have asked for and the host was excellent ensuring we had the best stay possible!
Weekend getaway of 3 branches of our family. The host was helpful and responsive, the property was great and as advertised, and the house was spacious. From pool, to putting green to swimming to movie room, everyone had something to keep them happy in a large group of 15 people. Would stay again!
We were very impressed with the property and the quick response time if we had any questions or needed anything. The house is more than we could have hoped for! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend.
Great place thanks
Wish the property had more towels and better pool towels.

My family and I stayed for 3 days. It was the perfect getaway and the house had all the amenities to keep everyone happy and busy. From the time of arrival, I did not have to request anything because Vlada and Emma had everything you would need in the house. The accommodations were excellent! The communication was very helpful and they were quick to respond. My son enjoyed the theatre room and stayed there the majority of the time. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your castle.Maryj
What a wonderful weekend. Thank you for hosting us. Everything is perfectly set up and ready for you to enjoy a large group vacation!
