We were a party of 8 including my adult children and spouses, plus our 9 month old grandson. This home provided all the room we needed. The bedrooms are all spacious, and the beds are so very comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed with absolutely everything you need; in fact this kitchen was the most well stocked of any VRBO home we've rented. The backyard is amazing with a pool, putting green, fire pit, BBQ area, and corn hole area. No lack of entertainment there. The landscaping is beautiful. The view of the mountains adds to the beauty. The neighborhood is quiet. It was so easy to get in to the property when we arrived, and easy to lock up when we left. The owner, Clare, responded immediately to any questions we had, and her local associate, Regenia, was wonderful too. We were celebrating my 70th birthday, and we had the best time ever in this beautiful home. We were sad to leave.

Fabulous back yard!

The back yard is fantastic! The view of the mountains, the pool, hot tub, putting green, natural gas fire pit, corn hole, outside dinning in the shade with overhead fan, grill/kitchen area, lots of seating through out the whole backyard. All 5 bedrooms have its own bathroom and outside access (4 of the bedrooms accessible to the pool and backyard). Back yard also has natural shade and beautiful flowers and humming birds. Loved it!!

Perfect family getaway

The property was beautiful, clean, and spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and putting green. The chaise lounges, hammock chairs, furniture, and beds were all super comfortable. There were plenty of communal areas and a huge kitchen for family gatherings and meals. Noise didn’t carry easily throughout the house or between rooms so folks slept in or arose early as they pleased. Everyone had a wonderful and relaxing time. We would love to stay in this home again!

Paradise in Palm Springs

Villa Amelita did not disappoint! The moment we stepped inside the front door, we felt a strong sense of home. All 5 bedrooms were spacious with access to the incredible backyard. The beds and linens were all very comfortable. The kitchen and laundry rooms were exceptionally equipped. Everyone loved gathering at the oversized island for breakfast and cocktail hour. The grounds were manicured and we all enjoyed many hours in the pool, on the putting green and playing cornhole. Such a perfect spot for a family, group of friends, or in our case, a mix of both attending our son’s wedding! Shout out to Manager Reginia and Host, Clare who made our stay such a seamless and memorable one! We can’t wait to return!

Great getaway in a perfect Palm Springs location

This place is a gem. It feels comfortable and homey - great for a group of friends. It easily sleeps 10 people with lots of private and groups spaces. All the amenities you need for a week away with friends. Easy walk to several restaurants and a short drive to downtown Palm Springs. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The real gem here was the owner and managers. Clare was very responsive and a great communicator. She was awesome and made us feel at home right away. We also met Regenia who made the check-in super simple, a real sweetheart. Guarantee: we will stay here again.

Repeat stay at Villa Amelita

Having had a previous stay during the holidays, our family elected to return to this wonderful property that had plenty of room for all of us. The bedrooms were all very comfortable with bathrooms that were spotless. We also enjoyed time in the hot tub, relaxing during our holiday break. We made many fine meals and snacks in the spacious kitchen. The host was easily accessible throughout our stay and answered questions very quickly. Overall, this was a great stay once again and I highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Clare Mc Ternan

Host profile image
Our family of 4 (2 kids, 9 and 11) live in Los Angeles. My husband is from France and I am from Ireland. We fell in love with this property the minute we saw it! The views were incredible and we loved the huge private garden where all we can see are the trees and the mountains. Being in Little Tuscany, the property had a sort of Tuscan modern vibe, which we loved. The huge open kitchen was a real show stopper and the style was so unique and different from other properties we had seen. We loved the fact that we can be in town in minutes and even take the Buzz trolley which stops 5 minutes away. We came up with the name Villa Amelita from a combination of our daughter's middle name (Amelie) and our son's name (Liam). We hope our guests enjoy our little piece of paradise as much as we do!!
