We’ve been coming for 13 years and this one has one of the best views we’ve ever seen, and the large sunny, private, south facing patio is sublime! We were blown away by the proximity to el Paseo and hiking trails. After a few days we offered to buy the property (no luck!). The unit is well equipped and very comfortable, with reclining sofa and chairs, huge TV with great sound, and a newer kitchen and en-suite. You won’t be disappointed!

We loved the condo,clean and well appointed. The grounds are beautiful and the pool and hot tub are awesome. The location is within walking distance of El paseo shopping and dining, we will difinitly go back next year

Gene was a wonderful host. The condo is very inviting and comfortable and feels like home. The place is very clean and stocked nicely with supplies. A nice added touch was the large supply of pool towels and rafts. The association pool is right in the backyard and empty. We had the pool to ourselves every time, so it was like having a private pool. This is a great location for Music Festivals. Parking here is awesome.

Fantastic stay at a lovely and quiet location. Gene and Cha Cha were excellent hosts. Very attentive and accommodation. Would highly recommend to anyone else.

We really enjoyed staying at Gene’s condo. The area is very safe and the neighbors were so friendly! We loved the nice warm pool and being so close to everything. The condo itself could use a bit of updating and sprucing up- there is a lot of extra “junk” stored in all the drawers and cabinets that should probably just be thrown out. But we had a thoroughly lovely time and would recommend this spot. Gene was very helpful any time we had even the smallest issue

Even though January and February were unusually cold and rainy, we still enjoyed our stay. The views from the condo are fabulous and the location is close to everything we wanted to do. You can easily walk to the hiking trails (which are pet friendly), El Paseo art galleries, local shopping, farmer's markets, etc., etc. The condo held everything we needed -- or even thought we might need. The furnishing were comfortable the bed provided a good-night's sleep. For us, there a few too many knick-knacks which we had to stowe away to make room for our personal things, but Gene and ChaCha were perfect hosts and always there if we needed them. We look forward to our return.

Great location in Palm Desert. Close to trails, shops, and pool/hotub. Great for couples or just a quiet get away. Condo has everything one would need for vacation. Great hosts that are local if any help is needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is clean and well stocked with everything you would need for a comfortable vacation. Very quiet - lovely pool. The beds / linens and towels were soft and comfy. The owner was quick to respond to all questions. We had a really great time - room enough for several.

Very convenient location with short walking distance to El Paseo shopping and restaurants. Beautiful view from patio, complete with hummingbirds! So nice to hang out in. Some confusion about length of stay and association rules. Ample space with very convenient updated kitchen, lovely walk in shower. Adequate beds. Beautiful pool within steps of our door.

This property is more than just a place to sleep, it's a home! Gene was incredibly fast in responding to any questions I had, as well as making sure I was all set for the trip. I received a call prior to my trip with recommendations of places to go, convenient luxuries offered within the condo, as well as a little bit of a background on both Gene and myself. This made me feel extremely welcomed into this nice home and more excited for the trip. The condo itself was just as welcoming as Gene. Finding the location was simple and upon our arrival we were all excited at the location. From a large interior, background pool, and spacious bedrooms the entire condo felt exciting to return to. We all even agreed that this is the nicest location we've ever stayed at (and we've traveled to plenty of cities/countries!). The kitchen was fully stocked on spices/utensils, the view and backyard pool was welcoming, two large bathrooms, multiple beds, and best of all touches of decorations around the house that made the stay feel more personal/welcoming. If you find yourself within the area, I highly recommend this stay. Gene will make you feel welcome, the close proximity to local areas is highly helpful, and the condo itself will have everything you need to feel at home. I definitely will be looking for Gene's listing next time I find myself traveling!
