Boasting all the comforts of a home away from home, this charming, dog-friendly retreat boasts a prime location in the Ruth Hardy Park/Movie Colony area of Central Palm Springs, a quiet corner lot in a small cul-de-sac.
This ground-floor home is all about entertainment–it doesn't matter whether you'd like to stay inside and spend a snuggly evening at home or spend an entertaining time outside. The covered patio area boasts endless outdoor entertainment with an inviting seating area, an outdoor dining area, and a private gas grill. Yes, we're reading your mind. This spot is perfect for family barbecues! From the covered patio, you'll enjoy a private courtyard entry to the fenced pool area. The pool area is perfect for family gatherings with the sun high up and shining down on you. You'll come across a sparkling outdoor pool, pool spa, another outdoor dining area, and three chaise lounges–the perfect spot to work on your tan.
Inside, you'll come across a well-appointed open floor plan that seamlessly combines the kitchen, dining area, and living room. Gather around the large flatscreen Smart TV with cable and snuggle up on the sofa for an entertaining movie marathon with your loved ones! Feeling cold? The gas fireplace has your back during your stay. This well-equipped space boasts stainless steel appliances, including a French-door fridge, dishwasher, microwave, stove, electric oven, and all the cookware to fix delicious meals and snacks. The adjoining dining table seats up to six and the breakfast bar offers four more spaces with high bar chairs. Nighttime cocktails with your friends sound like a dream, right? The bartender of the group will have at their disposal a well-appointed wet bar by the kitchen.
This home has three inviting bedrooms, each one with its own charms and comforts. The main bedroom offers an en-suite bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The guest bedroom/office has a flatscreen Smart TV with Roku, a nice desk, and shares a full bath with the third bedroom.

When I arrived there were small spiders in the sink and other dead bugs around. When called about it, the rental firm indicated that it had not been rented for a month. Apparently they or the owner did not check the house prior to my occupancy. There should have been better pricing for when it is over 110 degrees everyday.

Nice property, quiet neigbourhood. Yard is in need of more attention, gardeners do the minimum (no pruning or significant clean up) Hence, the slightest wind sends debris into the pool.
House is well equipped and functional.
Despite asking and paying for pool heat, it was not turned on prior to arrival. Took over 24 hours to heat the pool with the old and inefficient heater.

Dated but clean.

All in all, we enjoyed our stay in this home. It is a great location. But a bit outdated in terms of decor. The bathrooms are very outdated and the shower head I hallway bathroom was broken, so showering was a challenge. Sink stopper was broken.
Really disappointed in all of the fees and taxes. For 3 nights, the cost was roughly $1300.00. With taxes and fees to the tune of 700.00 it brought a 3 night stay to over 2000.00. The rules and regulations are a complete turnoff. I understand , these are city requirements, but they made us nervous our about having any fun out by the patio or pool. We did not use pool, as it was another $72.00 per day. We did however get charged a fee to clean pool. This is just wrong and should be removed if not using. There is also quite a bit of owner spices etc in cupboards, which was gross. Will come back to Palm Springs, but will book at a resort. So we can enjoy ourselves fully.

Elena Lopez was very friendly and receptive to all my concerns and questions. I rate it 2/5 because the day bed had urine stains
We were not able to use the bed. I left the day bed untouched so that it can be cleaned properly for future renters.
Sink in bathroom drains slowly, and
Trash can outside was almost full. The location of the property was peaceful and tranquil. House is not modern but nicely maintained.

Old, filthy, dilapidated and certainly NOT updated. I wasted so much money on this house and we left after one night. It was the dirtiest house with broken lamps and furniture, missing light bulbs. Missing blinds in bedrooms giving no privacy from neighbors . Those awful shower handles are still there and my kid almost scalded himself trying to turn the shower on. Dirty banged up walls and doors. Gross popcorn ceiling with dirt and cobwebs all over. Pool wouldn’t heat and hot tub took hours and kept turning off. Back patio was so dirty. Tile around hot tub patio is falling out leaving gaps around hot tub. Definitely the worst property and we couldn’t stay for health reasons as my youngest has asthma. Trying to get my money back to pay for the hotel we went to but of course no response from Vacasa. Wish I would have read about Vacasa prior to renting this house. They have the worst reviews. I took pictures of everything and sent to them per their request and now they aren’t even responding to me.

I have been going to Palm Springs for eleven years during April. This property was the most stressful of all my visits. Although the grounds were nice, communication with the property management company was very stressful. I waited a couple weeks for return emails about the check in process, etc. If they just spent $5000 on upgrades it would have been excellent. Multiple vertical blind slats were missing, shower controls were impossible without calling maintenance and sign on air conditioner said not to set it lower than 76 or it would freeze. People have been complaining about the shower controls for two years and nothing has been done. I had to wait 24 hours to shower after arriving.

Loved the location and the backyard with all the fruit trees was great. The house itself had everything we needed. As mentioned in other comments the shower fixtures need help. The beds could have had a better comfort level but were okay. One of the living room chairs would fall apart if you tried to sit in it. Overall the place was clean and well appointed, we would stay there again.

Manager Frank was very cooperative with check in and out. Very helpful... even brought us a bag of grapefruit from his tree! The owner Jim was very informative and flexible concerning pandemic requirements and regulations.
Pool was perfect .. couldn’t get the kids out!

My favorite part of the inside was the lovely great room. The kitchen is open to the dining area with wet bar, which is open to the great room with vaulted ceiling and gas fireplace. Really really lovely and a pleasant place to spend time.
Outdoors hands down is the pool. It was in the 60s when we were there so we paid the daily fee for pool heating and spent so much time out there. Loved it. The spa heated up quickly when we wanted to use that as well. Using the spa is included in the rental price but heating the pool is extra.
Also loved having use of the garage to park the car in. Didn’t take advantage of the bikes but they looked good. Enjoyed walking the dog around the area
Definitely would stay there again. The property manager, Frank, was great. Very helpful and fun to talk to.

Nice, relaxing property ... dog friendly! Property Manager made me feel right at home. This property has everything you need for a peaceful time in Palm Springs. Location is very walkable and pretty close to all the downtown fun!
4.7
Located off the main 25mph street in a quiet ‘no exit’ neighborhood, this home is conveniently suited for couples or families. Walking on sidewalks or riding bikes (provided) in well marked bike lanes was a plus; grocery stores and restaurants are located within 2 miles to the north and south, & 3 miles to downtown and the Thursday street market.
Although you can hear planes taking off no matter where you are in Palm Springs, this home is not near either flight path.
The privacy of the back yard/pool/spa was a tremendous benefit, especially for naturists.
The home was comfortable, well equipped throughout, and the master bed is very sleepable.
Like most rental homes, there is an extra charge to heat the swimming pool, but with this rental there is no extra charge to heat the spa.
This couple would return to enjoy Casa De Serena - thank you!

I was greeted by Frank, the manager and he gave me the tour of the property. He showed how everything works including the spa. The area is so peaceful and quiet, you can hear nothing but the breeze and the birds chirping away. The living area and kitchen was spacious. The pool/spa was refreshing and well kept as well as the patio/lounge area. Well relaxing and comforting. Looking forward to stay again soon.

We found a gem in Casa de Serena. Roomy, comfortable, great service, pool, spa, handicap accessible, etc. Kitchen was well supplied with standard meal preparation and eating utensils. Most of the appliances were very new and stainless steel. We had one item break while we were there. I called Frank and he had a new part and had it fixed within a few hours! We would love to stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the property manager, Frank was there to greet us and to ensure that everything was prepared for us. He was also available locally if needed. Humming birds in the citrus trees by the large shaded veranda were a delight. The pool and spa were good (no pool heating needed in early September) and were not overlooked by any other property. The quiet location was convenient for shops, tourism and the airport.
The inside of Casa de Serena was spacious, beautifully furnished and well-equipped so we could enjoy any part of the day both in and out of doors. The air conditioning was effective and adjustable for our convenience and a comfortable stay. We are a retired professional couple from the UK and would highly recommend the property.
