We are a Vancouver family who, on a whim decided to try out Palm Springs, and LOVED it! We came back a couple more times, staying each time in a vrbo rental, and each time we enjoyed ourselves even more. That's when we decided to purchase a place that we would love and that, hopefully, others would love as well. We knew that the only way we could make it happen, would be to rent it out to help cover some of the expenses; to make it a sort of "family business". So what does "family business" mean? Well, to us, it means that you are not at a hotel. When staying at our Mesquite Retreat, you are at home, but suddenly living in a ground floor condo in the Palm Springs desert surrounded by an oasis of palm trees and pools - how relaxing! Our Mesquite Retreat in Palm Springs is a retreat for families, retirees, friends making memories, and seekers of sunshine. Sheldon, our CFO, loves to golf and play tennis in his free time. His favourite thing to do while at the condo, is relaxing at any one of the five pools. Liz, our CEO, is a stay at home mom, who was a CAD technician in her previous life, and now enjoys reading mystery novels in her free time. Especially reading on the patio listening to the fountain bubbling in the background. The kids are two girls coming into their teens and tweens and all that THAT brings, but basically just have free time all day long. Okay, not a lot of free time outside of school, dance, and swimming. For all of us, the condo is all about the pool and the patio. And when we’ve had enough of each other, we have three TV’s and wifi, so we can all pretty much watch whatever we want. But we would never do that... because that would be weird...
