This is a charming house in a residential neighborhood with a lovely view over the desert. Desert Hot Springs itself is not a particularly unique or interesting destination, but this is a good base for exploring Joshua Tree National Park and the Palm Springs area. The house was the cleanest VRBO we've experienced (with one small exception that we raised with Shayda, who was very apologetic). Good utensils/pots&pans in the kitchen so we were able to cook several meals easily. The bed was comfortable and the water super hot. We enjoyed sitting on the patio or by the fire pit watching the mountains and desert below. Our only disappointment was the pool. The photos are deceptive as one third of the length is only about eight inches deep. This is not a pool for swimming laps - rather a splash pool or soaking tub if you pay extra for heating the water.

The property was incredible. Waking up and having coffee with the backyard view was perfect. Unfortunately we ran into an issue with the pool heat but the host went above and beyond to accommodate us. Would be back and looking forward to our next visit.

The pool and view is spectacular. This really made the vacation. We spent every evening in the spotless pool under the stars, or reading by the fire table. We attended Thanksgiving 2023 and the weather was perfect, location ideal for visiting all the key Palm Springs attractions. The property had all that we needed. Great communication from the host. A lovely property.

This was a great property for us. The back patio/pool area is really the highlight, with a fire pit and comfy outdoor lounge area. The pool was heated and very clean, but THE VIEW of the surrounding hills and mountains was spectacular. House was fully stocked with everything you need. Would definitely stay here again.

Pleaae was perfect and even better than the pictures

Looks just like the pictures! Responsive, helpful host.

With the few questions we had, Shayda was always quick to respond. In fact, she checked in with us each day. And even with the one sort of serious question (the temperature of the mineral pool), she had someone come fix things immediately

Great place to get away. Very relaxing and private. Planning another trip here soon.
