Day Dreamer - 4 Bedroom Chic Palm Springs Stay

The house was very clean and matched online description. However, a few things were not as expected. The washing machine was broken. The propane on the outdoor fire pit leaked to where we couldnt use it. There were no instructions on how to use the spa and pool lights but property manger helped after I asked. The shower head in the master bath would start dripping in the middle of the night. And not just a little drip. It would basically lightly run for about an hour and then stop. Every night. Super weird. Also, the chairs outside the master bedroom should be thrown out. You can’t even sit in them because the mesh on the back is all broken and the cushions just fall through. Sharon the knives or replace them. They are so dull they are dangerous. But overall, the property is gorgeous and we loved our stay! Just wanted to let you know about the things we found in case you want to address any of it.

The oven needs a manual to operate. There are only enough dining chairs and room at the table for 6. We were 7. Only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom for a week? Only enough silverware for one meal. The washer didn’t work for the first 4 days. The pilot light in the gas fire is out and leaked gas. The hot tub needed to be repaired. Management turned off the hot tub the afternoon before we left to heat the pool—presumably for the next guests—so we couldn’t use the hot tub the last night because it was cold. The vacuum was broken. No dust pan or brush.

We did a family get together for Thanksgiving. Spacious, loved location, property, etc.

The home was pet friendly. The rooms were clean. Would have been helpful to have simple directions on usage of ovens, also we did not use dishwasher as it had a very strong foul odor. We only had hot water in all three bathrooms until after 7:00 pm on our 2nd night. One of the bedrooms had a smoke detector that chirped all night and mid afternoon the next day when the handyman cam and replaced batteries and also fill the propane tank. We enjoyed the pool and also the pool table.

The home was beautiful, clean and located near many places. I am rating it lower because there were a lot of things I would not have expected from a high-end rental. Empty soap dispenser, water from shower leaked onto the floor, large rug in a bedroom was peeling back which made it a tripping hazard and low grade bathroom towels.

We really enjoyed our stay. The pool area was fantastic!

Great house and host

The property is lovely but it had some issues that need addressing. I sent the property management company, Poppy, a list and asked to discuss it prior to my review but never heard back from anyone. The biggest problems were the broken ice maker (we need ice in the desert!), broken dishwasher (would not stop beeping) and multiple broken outdoor umbrellas by the pool. Our first day was filled with various maintenance people at the house and the result was none of the issues were fixed. They also fumbled our confirmed early check-in. Other than these main issues, there are some minor maintenance issues throughout that I made them aware of.

Lovely and spacious home. Pool, fountain and hot tub was great. Outdoor areas wonderful for morning and evening gatherings. Kitchen had everything needed. We will book again next year!

The team at Poppy was super accommodating and the house was great. We had one issue with the pool being heat to 96 degrees, but the team quickly addressed it for us. Listing is accurate, and was perfect for a girls trip. Would stay again.

This was a great house & pool. Great location. We enjoyed our time there.

There were 5 of us - all women - there for the BNP tennis tournament. The house layout was great. For the price we paid, the quality and quantity of hand and bath towels could be improved. The drawer in one vanity was broken, no kleenex and we all felt the beds were too low to the ground. The kitchen could have had a few more dishes/amenities too.

We had an amazing stay for my 40th birthday. The house was immaculately clean and comfortable to stay in. The kitchen was stocked with every cooking gadget we needed, and my friends were happy to each have their own beds. Excellent photo ops in the backyard! When I first made the reservation, I requested the pool to be heated. Being able to swim in was a major reason for choosing this property. We arrived to a cold pool and then were told that only the pool OR the hot tub could be heated- not both. We had to download an app to control the hot tub which was frustrating as we wanted to arrive and not have to do extra steps to enjoy the stay. While everyone I was in touch with was very kind and tried to be helpful, the lack of communication upon arrival put a slight damper on things. Overall- great property, amazing views, easy to get to our activities, and we had a great stay. Better organization/communication before arrival would have made it perfect.

6 of us (3 couples) in our 50s all stayed here for New Year’s Eve. We had a great time and the house was amazing…heated pool and spa and we had our own rooms and bathrooms.Great location, as well…about 2 miles from downtown and an easy bike ride.Overall, the house and the management company were all top. Itch and our stay was effortless.I would highly recommend the home and Stay Poppy management company!!

Our family of 6 had plenty of room. Enjoyed the hot tub, pool table and ALL of the TVs...didn't have to miss a football play. We felt like the house was in need of attention (ceiling fans, front porch light, oven, towel bar, tp holder, rugs, oven)...all reported to VRBO contact. VRBO contact was quick to respond, including sending out maintenance service. Only two chairs for gaming table...could have used 4 more. Beds, linens and pillow were comfortable. Would rent again after a little TLC.

The house was great and in a great location.

The Day Dreamer was a perfect spot to celebrate a fiftieth birthday weekend. The pool, hot tub, putting green, and pool table added to fun! More than enough space for our group of six to fit comfortably. Loved the decor and the privacy of having our own space.

This home was perfect getaway for our friend group. The pool and putting green was a vibe! Plenty of room in the house for everyone as well.
