Please review the Palm Springs City Noise Ordinance as described in the House Rules as well as the Rental Agreement. The city-wide ordinance prohibits any music to be played outdoors at any time.
Very cool house to stay with a group. Kitchen is fully stocked with lots of pans, plates, glasses etc (we are big on cooking so this was a plus). Two fridges which was fabulous for all the drinks and food. Pool was very clean and spacious. Lots of lounge chairs (this is rare I feel like at house rentals). Large outside table and large inside table that seated our entire group of 12! The 7th bedroom is connected to another bedroom and only has a day bed which would have been awful if we had all couples but it worked out great as one family had two kids that they wanted to keep close. Owner and property manager both respond very quick when we had questions or issues. Perfect location- very quiet area(minus landscapers ) to downtown shopping, grocery store, hiking and yummy restaurants. Highly recommend! Very relaxing space to stay!
Lovely home with interesting architecture and great paintings and decorations. Big dining room and super comfortable living room with a bar make it a great area to mix and mingle. The pool is exceptional with a lot of seating, lounges and umbrellas, looking out at the mountains.
Terrific place to spend a long weekend, and soak up some Sun by the pool.
The perfect retreat for a golf trip with the boys.
Our group had a great stay at this house. It was well stocked with essentials like shampoo, conditioner, and kitchen tools. The space is both beautiful and comfortable, and we enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The proximity to restaurants and bars made it the perfect girls weekend getaway!
I wanted to really love this property and I found the old Hollywood nostalgia to be a wonderful plus however there were a few things about this house that would prevent me from renting there again. I bring these things up because I have been hosting since 2012 and always appreciate a full review of my home and others. Biggest one is the amount of even surfaces in the home which if you are impaired at all or have any sort of mobility issues this place would not be possible. Each room requires a step up into it as well as a step into the living room and an uneven area from the kitchen area to the living area. There was 11 of us and each one of us tripped at least once during the stay. We loved that there were two refrigerators and room for all of our food but found the freezer to be sorely lacking in an icemaker. There was every gadget and pot, dish ware that is needed for cooking however because the home was built in the 1930s the drawers and cupboards are bot on sliders and we’re difficult to open. The commercial grade stove and oven in the kitchen was a wonderful however be aware that it is terribly hot to cook in that kitchen as the AC doesn’t work as well in that part of the house. The rooms are all decorated sweetly and all the extra bathrooms were a huge plus with so many ladies getting ready at the same time. Be aware that a couple of the rooms are jack n jill type so in order to get to one room you must go through someone else’s. Kinda awkward The pool was so much fun but the fact that I couldnt even play music at a low tone yet be blasted by the lawn mowers and hedging tools nearby was a bit ludicrous. I couldn’t play lullaby music for my seven-month-old grandson that’s how crazy the outdoor music laws are in the city. Overall we had a great time but I doubt I would go back to this particular home.
This house is beautifully set up, the people who manage it and the owner are all wonderful! I will definitely be back! Thank you, thank you!
Great experience.
We came down from Canada for a work retreat and this house was a great place for our team to relax together! Everyone had plenty of space in the house and it was in a great location. We were able to cook easily in the well-stocked kitchen, or get into town quickly for dinner out. Great spot for a group!
Beautiful home and perfect for a relaxing weekend.
