My daughter and I were very fortunate to be guests of our friends at this beautifully-furnished and well-appointed condo.
Never having visited Palm Desert before, we did not know what to expect of the area, but had heard that it had an exceptional allure. Very true. We were quickly seduced by the quiet, calm nature of the mountain vistas, the bright sunshine, and the very friendly people.
Mornings began with a spectacular mountain sunrise with coffee on the patio right next to a divine lemon tree.
In the afternoon, we took advantage of checking out the sights or the spectacular golf courses. Indeed, the home course was in fabulous condition, and offered many challenging holes.
At the end of the day, we relaxed in the warm community pool.
And, in the unit, there was a wealth of information provided by the Arp family which detailed all the local hikes, restaurants, golf courses, and
artistic pursuits. We took advantage of as many opportunities as we could to breathe the mountain air and recharge in a truly peaceful environment.
Most importantly, every day, when we returned to the happy golf course condo, it was like being at our own place, with all the comforts of home. And many comforts we hadn't even considered. The condo is stocked with the best bedding, towels, comfy blankets for cool nights, decorative accents, and all the gourmet spices and culinary tools you could want.
Every detail was well-considered, and we felt so lucky to have enjoyed a stay at our friends' beautiful California desert dream home. Many thanks to Penny and to Jan for a well-needed escape from our busy lives in the cold north. We hope to return in the near future.
