Amazing place!

Lemon Twist was exactly as advertised, a really lovely (and large) home in the perfect location for exploring Palm Springs. All amenities were perfect, and it was so wonderful that we ended up cancelling our dinner reservations, so that we could better enjoy the wonderful yard, grill, and hot tub! We would absolutely stay here again!

Fabulous adventure even during the heat wave

Fabulous adventure, even during the heat wave! Check in was a breeze at Lemon Twist. Everyone loved the home from children to teenagers to adults. Plenty of space to relax and escape the heat inside or lounge by the pool under the shade. Super close to downtown Palm Springs, highly recommended for everyone.

Luxury and comfortable all at once

Great layout and amazing outdoor space - we used it all - lounging around the pool, swimming, soaking in the hot tube, outdoor dining, outdoor bar & bbq, fire pit and serious putting competitions ! All of the beds were super comfortable and the kitchen is very well appointed! We even got ice cream delivered across the street daily (ice cream truck stops every day after school).

Twins turn 30

The lemon twist was the perfect house for our family celebration. The kitchen was very well appointed as well as being decorated to perfection with a mid century vibe and very cool wallpaper. All four bedrooms were a good size with comfy beds and blankets. Plenty of towels. The outside was a playground onto itself with a wonderful hot tub and pool, cornhole, putting green and lovely bar and bbq with plenty of outdoor seating. I would love to go back when the weather is a bit warmer. It was perfect for our hiking day.

Lemon Twist Ladies . . . Childhood friends gathering!!

Childhood friends for life (known each other over 45trs) who FINALLY decided to take a trip together . . . And we are SO glad we chose Lemon Twist!!The house was just as described and we loved the theme throughout the entire house! Clean and well outfitted, the only feedback/complaint we had was that there were stains on all the bedding and some furniture . . . everything else was so nice that this really “stuck out”. Because of the awesome “theme”, we all brought “era” outfits to dress up and take pictures at the house with!! The property management was quick to respond to any questions or concerns!!! The property we found out is for sale and I hope it stays as a vrbo rental as it was just the most amazing place to stay!!

Pretty disappointing experience here. Basically, our overall enjoyment was compromised by immediate, relentless noise complaints from the neighbors. On the first day, we received a written reminder regarding a "minor noise complaint." Despite assurances that there was zero music (indoors or out), shouting, or noise, the persistence of the complaints created anxiety about incurring a 500 violation fee. So, we ended up abandoning the use of the pool, jacuzzi, and BBQ for the remainder of our stay. We spent thousands for a vacation rental rich with outdoor amenities, only to stay indoors or speak in near-whispers outside. The outdoor area was basically unusable and ruined the vacation experience we paid for. Essentially, don't stay here if you plan to have fun outdoors. If you do, make sure to whisper.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry that your stay felt stressful and did not meet your expectations. Palm Springs has a strict citywide noise ordinance for vacation rentals, which applies to all homes in the city and is actively enforced by the City—not by neighbors or hosts. These rules are designed to protect residential neighborhoods and require that outdoor areas remain quiet, particularly in the evenings. The ordinance includes clear decibel limits and potential fines that are issued by the City when exceeded. To ensure transparency, these rules are clearly posted in the home and provided to guests multiple times—during booking, prior to arrival, and again in the house guidelines—so guests can make informed decisions before their stay. The vast majority of our guests stay comfortably within these guidelines and enjoy the home and outdoor amenities without issue. That said, we understand how receiving a reminder from the City can feel unsettling, even when no disruption was intended, and we regret that this impacted your ability to fully relax during your vacation. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective.

Sunshine and Lemons

This is a nice home with a killer back yard! Even though it was a bit cool, we loved the pool, spa, and the flame table. Great space to BBQ and the putting green was a kick. The house is appropriately furnished with two fireplaces which came in handy, given the chilly nights. The kitchen was adequately provisioned. The coffee maker didn't work the first morning and the replacement the next day was busted as well, but ACME, the property manager was great about responding and delivered to us on day three a brand new one. The location is handy to downtown if you're a walker. The only drawback we noted was the traffic noise. The house is on a busy street and two of the bedrooms are on the street side. We got used to it fairly quickly and given the beds and pillows were so comfortable, everyone slept fine. Fun place for a family.

BEWARE! DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERTY! Where do I begin? First off, we rented this property from Friday through Monday. We checked in Friday for our stay and by Saturday at 530 pm we were ticketed 500 and asked to leave the property with no where else to stay. Luckily we found another property and were not stranded without a place to stay. We were approached Saturday afternoon by a knock at the door and there was a city of Palm Springs citation officer standing at the door asking for my ID. I asked why as we had just gotten home from being gone all day and he said so he can write a ticket for 500 for a noise violation. He said a neighbor called and said we had been playing loud music all day and we were not even home at all that day. I called and asked for an Acme representative to show up in hopes that they could help us and the Acme representative was very rude and offered no help (inside job?). After arguing the fact that it was completely false accusations, I gave my ID to the guy and he wrote the 500 ticket. Then, after that was finalized they said we had 1 hour to leave the house. I mean actual eviction? It was so absurd and the citation officer actually mentioned that the neighbors around the property hate rentals and do not want them and if the property gets 3 citations they are no longer allowed to rent the property. Sounds fishy. Long story short, save yourself the frustration and find another property to rent!

We’re truly sorry to hear how upsetting this experience was and understand how stressful it must have felt to have your stay end this way. That’s never the outcome we want for our guests, and we appreciate the opportunity to provide some clarity. Palm Springs has very strict short-term rental regulations that are enforced citywide. The City investigates reported complaints and may issue citations when they determine an ordinance violation has occurred. The City does not evict guests; when a citation is issued, ACME is required to ensure compliance in accordance with local regulations and the guest rental agreement. To help avoid situations like this, all guests are informed of these ordinances in multiple ways before and during their stay — including within the rental agreement, posted inside the home, and through a reminder call on the day of arrival reviewing noise, occupancy, and quiet-hour requirements. We understand how frustrating and unexpected this felt, and we regret the stress it caused. While our team must follow local regulations and agreed-upon policies, we truly wish this experience had been a more positive one. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we wish you all the best in your future travels.
