The house was clean, peaceful. The beds were not comfortable and we decided to leave a night before. The owner is great. But the bad weather did not help us enjoy the home at its full potential.

The home was spacious and comfortable. Everyone enjoyed having a space to gather and fellowship. There was a beautiful view of the snow cap mountains. It was quite and we all slept well. We had a good time.

We were looking for a place with a pool and hot tub. If you look at the stock photos it looks great! Once seen in person, very disappointing. Pool was filthy, as was the spa. No chlorine in the chlorine float spa water felt slimy. My husband, who is a certified pool tech spotted algae in the pool and took photos as proof. Tests of the water indicated it was unsanitary to use, but just the look of it would deter you from using it. After confronting the owner he begged us not to leave a review. he seemed very condescending, as you can tell by other reviews. felt deceived by his photos. Interior was a bit dirty, but acceptable. we were allowed to check-in early, which we did. He did offer a late check-out, but was not needed as we were very disappointed, and could not wait to get out. It would have been nice to have a can opener also.

Pros - air conditioning works great - spacious - clean - owner responded quickly when the door wouldn't open because the batteries were out Cons - wish the a/c had been on before we arrived..it was 92 in the house when we got there and took a while to cool down - back door didn't lock - no shade in backyard at all, no umbrellas, you need a little reprieve from the sun - coffee maker broken - kitchen is not well equipped at all (no measuring cups, tablespoons, no basic stuff like salt, only a used sponge to wash dishes with, only one dish towel) - not enough towels - not enough toilet paper (I could understand if we were staying for a week or something, but there should be enough tp for a weekend) - didn't tell us the pool guy was coming saturday morning, which scared us - somebody's old ice cream blizzard left in freezer lol

Comfortable house. We had 6 adults staying with no problems. Hot tub was nice after a day of hiking. Some nice restaurants nearby that did take out. The house is 30 min from the west gate of Joshua Tree National Park.

So this was our second Vrbo stay, the house was ok, not ready to have guest stay at all. The shower was very old, the tile didn’t seem clean. The second bathroom shower didn’t have hot water; which we found out the 2nd day of our stay. We’re married so 1 shower was ok but could not shower at the same time. The owner of the property texted me almost every day I was there which was weird, like if you’re that concerned maybe don’t rent the house out. The kitchen utensils were very thrift store, that can be easily updated; we didn’t want to eat off of them. There was some mold throughout the house but hey we drove 8 hours for a getaway, what can you do. The pool and foozball are in the garage which isn’t very inviting. Only issue was waking up Saturday morning in boxer briefs and having a pool guy outside at like 8am without any notice. The hot tub was amazing, heated free of charge, again needed updates as the pool and hot tub bottom we’re basically peeling off. Very gracious for letting us smoke outside. When you rent a hotel or home you’d expect it to be better than what you live in and we live in a 1000sf apartment and the apartment is way nicer. With a few updates, new paint, bathroom mirrors and getting rid of half the signs in the house would make this a great stay. Thank goodness downtown Palm Springs was minutes away as the house wasn’tvery stay friendly. Overall a decent trip to the area, 100% would spend a little more money and do some more checking around before renting this place.
