We had a great time thanks to this great host. All three couples had an awesome time during our stay. The location is super convenient and the amenities top shelf. We spent many hours by or in the pool or sitting around a fire at night. While the house is in a typical neighborhood it was super quiet at night with beautiful view of the stars. Looking forward to coming back again one day!

My husband, our dog, and I spent a wonderful month at Villa Modalo. We wanted someplace quiet, clean, and with great outdoor space. Villa Modalo was the perfect place. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood in Cathedral City. Downtown Palm Springs is about 10 minutes away and stores/restaurants are about 5 minutes away. We really liked that it is at the end of a dead-end street. No traffic and the west side is just an amazing view of San Jacinto. We especially liked that it was not in the flight path for the airport. We could see the planes landing, but their wasn't much noise. So many rentals are right in the flight path for landing or take off. The house itself was very clean with fun decorations and art. The kitchen was well stocked for doing our own meal prep. The bed was very comfortable and we liked the big primary bathroom. And the backyard is amazing! The heated pool and hot tub were so nice to relax in (and swim laps). We often read on the lounge chairs on the covered lanai. We liked the place so much we invited my brother and his family to join us for a long weekend. They loved getting away from the cold of Idaho and we all enjoyed evenings around the firepit. Leif was great to work with. We were the first guests and there were bound to be a few hiccups. Leif was quick to respond and resolved everything quickly. One of the best landlords we have worked with. As the month drew to a close, I reached out to see if we could stay longer. Unfortunately it was already booked. We would stay here again. I highly recommend Villa Modalo.

This home is immaculate, private, gorgeous, and simply perfect. The last home at the end of the street in a quiet neighborhood, you enter the front gate into a tiny, lovely desert oasis. Each bedroom is equipped for peace and privacy, designed for absolute relaxation and comfort. The kitchen is open to the lounge/hanging out area, ideal for hanging and entertaining at the same time -- not to mention the view from both: overlooking the amazing patio, pool, fire pit, hot tub (and ample seating) -- through a wall of windows and glass doors. Umm, and the view? Nothing between you and mountains! It is utterly exquisite, with sunsets the stuff of postcards. Bathrooms are plenty and delightful, dining room is intimate yet casual and big enough for a large gathering, within distance of the more formal living room -- allowing even more people to be involved and engaged. The decor is simple yet elegant and totally captures the Palm Springs vibe. The backyard? Don't even start. The pool, the landscaping, the hot tub, the barbecue/bar area. It is epic and has tons of room for many to sit back, chill, party, and enjoy. I cannot recommend this place enough, and the owners are great to work with. They take time to understand what you're looking for and make sure you get it. (Oh yeah, and there are enough TVs to keep a small army of entertained.)
