We brought together two families and a grandparent to stay at this great little property. The outdoor space was wonderful and gave us an opportunity to connect while there was plenty of room for us to stay and relax on our own as well. Great communication with the owner who was very responsive to all texts, although we didn’t really need anything. House is set up with towels and pool toys. Just bring yourself for some fun!

My guest and I really enjoyed this space. It had everything that we needed and more. Rigoberto was an awesome host. He responds quickly and ensures satisfaction. We did not have any serious concerns. The listing looks identical to the photos of the site except in person it’s much bigger. This was an amazing home. Thank you so much for our stay and we look forward to returning soon.

I rented this property for our family and my son who had a few days off after returning from deployment. I didn’t know how many of his buddies he might be bringing with him so I wanted to ensure we had ample space.
The houses were perfect and the pool was wonderful for relaxing and cooling off. Everything was clean and inviting. We extended our stay by one day with no problem. There was an issue with the air conditioning in one house however the owner was very responsive and it was repaired in a couple of hours. I would definitely rent this home again.

My large family enjoyed the home so much, we never left! The pool and sun and each other was all we needed for five days. Saved so much money cooking at home and the fact that there was a grill and two kitchen meant the teens could actually help out with some prep work. It was so wonderful, after last year, our first outing and being together in one place. The host was great to communicate with and very helpful. The entire experience— Really awesome!

Great weekend grilling and enjoying the heated pool in November
This property was perfect for Friendsgiving with our group of 12, with room to spare. We got down on the cooking and took full advantage of the two kitchens and bbq grill, to spectacular results. I was unsure how a heated pool would work out in November, but it worked perfectly both day and night when the weather swung from the mid 80s to 60s.
Finally, Rigoberto was a perfect host. He was always responsive through VRBO, provided his cell, and gave me all the information I needed, mostly before I even asked.
Overall, a great rental experience. Thank you Roberto!

Great place for a group!
The hosts were excellent at communicating and were able to help us when we needed something (such as a cooler for the week or early check in). Cute place with a nice pool! There were a couple spots that weren't 100% clean (one of the walls in the bunk bed room and some of the dishes). The location is close to a lot of things in the area so that was great! The kitchen was well stocked which was very helpful for our group (I will add there was no dishwasher, just in case someone would be expecting that). Overall I would definitely recommend this place and it was a good experience!

Absolutely one of the best homes we have stayed in while in Palm springs
Amazing

Great stay
Probably the perfect house for a golf group. Had 2 separate homes on one property, with the pool and hot tub between them. Tons of seating outside as well. And being close to downtown was great for an Uber trip for dinner.
The best part was the super comfortable beds. One of our group noted the brand in the second house and will buy one when home.
Kitchens don’t have dishwashers, but was no problem and probably keep things cleaner.
And the neighbourhood was very quite and safe. Walked one night to Ramon to eat at Bubba’s Bones (which was great) and had no worries. Took about 30 minutes.
Overall a great home that we will probably rent again this year or same time next year. Communication was great with owner as well. Rent it!

Just as Pictured
We rented the property for a 50th birthday and had family and friends staying in the houses. There was plenty of room for 9 adults. Everything was clean with plenty of towels for the bathrooms, and even hotel-like shampoo/ conditioner /body wash were provided. The location was great. Close to the 10 and not far from lots to do in the area. Parking was enough for 5 or 6 cars since we had use of the 2 car garage. The coffeemakers are Keurigs in both houses. We weren't sure but could have asked ahead of time, as the owners are very responsive to other questions. Our only suggestions would be about the squeeky bed in the first bedroom of the front house and it would be nice to have 2 keys so folks could move between the houses easily. Everyone had a great time and would be happy to stay there again. Thanks!

Cleaner and nicer than pictures show
Good house, well spread out. The house is split into two smaller (detached) houses which the pictures don't convey. The only issue was the fridge took about 6 hours to get cold which was frustrating.
The pool was clean, the house; bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, were clean. Convenient to downtown.

We rented this home as well as several others for families participating in a photo shoot for an out-of-state business. The fact that the property has 2 separate living quarters with their own kitchens was the main reason we selected it. It was very spacious and allowed for privacy among the 2 families that stayed there. It was clean, conveniently located, and had a number of board games for the children which was nice. Unfortunately, neither kitchen had a dishwasher which can be a nuisance when the property allows for so many guests. The pool was extremely cold...much colder than those in the other locations we rented. I suppose we should have requested to heat the pool/spa, but having been to Palm Springs before, we did not think it would be necessary. I would recommend this service. The television in the back house did not work, but I do not believe the family ever mentioned it to Rigoberto as I am certain he would have addressed it had he known. Rigoberto was extremely helpful and accommodating when we changed our plans, which we greatly appreciate! I would recommend this property as long as you are aware of these issues in advance so you can plan accordingly and communicate your needs/expectations.

My son had a destination wedding at Joshua Tree National Park, returning to the place where they were engaged. Consequently our family needed to travel in from the east coast, mid-west and west coast. Our criteria for our needs were: a swimming pool, enough space for our family and a reasonable cost. This property was perfect. We spent a lot of time on the pool patio. The tables and lounge chairs were comfortable to sit around to catch up on each others life. The kitchen was fully stocked with accessories and was clean.
We stocked up on food from Costco, just a short drive away. Other stores and restaurants are also near by.
Upon our arrival, we encountered a couple of issues with the house where I needed to contact Rigo. He was very responsive and took care of issue immediately.
We would most definitely recommend this house to others.

A wonderful place for a family celebration.
We came to Palm Springs with our daughter and her family and son and his family to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Before our visit, Rigo responded to all my queries very promptly. Check in details were clear and simple. The accommodation suited our needs perfectly - plenty of space, a wide range of seating outside , a lovely warm pool and jacuzzi with plenty of inflatables, a plentiful supply of towels, a well equipped kitchen as well as comfortable bedrooms. Thank you, Rigo and Maria for the warm welcome extended to us and for helping to make our visit such a memorable one.

Desert Getaway
We hosted a family mini reunion at this property. It was very clean with many amenities that were apparent in the kitchen and bathrooms. Beds and linens were great. We purchased a flyswatter for the kitchen since it seemed the flies wanted to get out of the sun! Only suggestion for the owner: the kitchen really needs a full-size dish drainer. Also, there is no room in the kitchen cabinets for food. We would suggest a tall not very deep book shelf in the dining room to store cereals, snacks, fruits, drinks, etc. We had no counter space for food prep. Overall, the property was as advertised and we were pleased with the accommodations.

Great property for families
We had our family reunion and there was quite a few of us and this property accommodated us beautifully. We were able to cook large family style meals with a kitchen stocked with all kinds of small appliances and plenty of dishes and pots, was just really easy. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything. I highly recommend this property and would definitely go back.
