    The host was great with communication and made check-in and check-out hassle free. The location of this property is excellent. Central to a lot of shopping and restaurants and the neighborhood is quiet.

    Villa Carmelita was excellent. Felt much bigger and much more chic in person (don't let the Bowie pillows fool you!). Hosts were easy and attentive. The kitchen is extremely well appointed from cooking to serving wares, all your essential spices etc. All the rooms felt very private and separate. Location is also 10/10.

    Everything about this property was absolutely without a doubt the most amazing Palm Springs stay. Location is everywhere you want to be. House feels like you have your own private resort. Every detail is perfect from the history to the huge outdoor spaces to the fully stocked home. What makes an amazing place even better? Phenomenal hosts. They were very attentive, supportive and responsive through the whole rental process. Modernize Home Services and Jeremy get a 10/10 rating on top of the 10/10 rating for the estate. Highly recommend all around!

    I stayed here with a group of friends for my 40th birthday. It was perfect. The pool was everything we hoped. The property is situated right next to the mountains, offering stunning views. Although it feels calm and secluded, it is still conveniently close to everything in town. We loved it and would happily go back again and again.

    We LOVED our stay at this amazing house. It was even more lovely in person and had everything we needed for a long weekend away. The beds were so comfortable, the location was peaceful, and everywhere you looked there was a beautiful view. The owl in the trees hooting away at night was the icing on the cake. Would 100% recommend and stay again.

    The house worked well for our 3 generation get-together. The common space provided a comfortable gathering place. The kitchen was well-stocked and there was room for us all to eat together. The dispersed bedrooms offered some privacy when the crowd was too much. And the pool! My seven year old granddaughter said it was the BEST place she had ever stayed and when were we going back.

    We had our BEST VRBO experience ever with our adult kids and their spouses. It was perfect as each couple had their own room with a separate entrance. The kitchen was FULLY stocked with everything you need.

    We loved our stay at the Sonny and Cher house. It is perfect for a group who want to spend time together and also have your own space to chill. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner. The heated pool was great, the neighborhood is fabulous! There is a fun selection of games and puzzles, it's the perfect home to hang out with family and friends.

    We had a great stay at the house. It is beautiful, the pool area particularly is pretty and helped set the mood. The property management is nice, communicates well, and was quick to respond when there was a little hiccup with the house.

    This is a fabulous property. Perfect for 8 adults or 4 couples. The bunk room is a great addition if you have teenagers. All the main bedrooms have their own bathroom and they are separate from one another to really give you a sense of privacy when you need it. Jeremy, the property manager was lovely, a great help and quick to respond. The pool and grounds have so much to offer. We never left the house, because why on earth would we. The kitchen was set up with everything you need to prepare and serve all your own meals. We brought fancy coffee and groceries. There is a Trader Joes and a Ralphs nearby and a Whole Foods about 20 minutes away. We are already planning our next trip. This time we plan on bringing the husbands.

    We had an amazing experience at this house. It has everything you need for a fun and comfortable stay. Jeremy gave us a great tour and was very responsive on text. The only one thing that was a little tricky was that the AC is locked and set to 75 which on a 118 degree weekend wasn’t cool enough to give us respite. We had a great time though and would come back for sure .
