The room was very nice. I love having a kitchen in the room. It makes a longer stay much easier. The only complaint I have is that the floor fan in the bedroom was so loud that I couldn't use it. I bought a fan for 10 bucks at the thrift store, so I was fine.

I really can't say enough good things. The property was spotless, on the grounds and in the rooms. A lot of other rentals in the area seemed to have questionable reviews, so it was a great relief to find a spot like this.

After over 100 visits to Palm Springs in my lifetime this one place made me feel so at home and a place where I could hang my hat. It was spacious it was clean. It was well accessorized more so than any room I’ve ever stayed in and we fully enjoyed it all of us.

The property is well located, close to everything you would need, and actually within walking (albeit a longish walk) distance of downtown Palm Springs. Well within walking distance of some good restaurants. The rooms are all 2 bedrooms/2bathrooms which is very good. Beds can be 2 queens/kings or single beds, or any combination, just contact the place directly. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The interiors are tired and ageing, the room I was in showed wear and tear on the furniture, but more so on the bathroom cupboards and to a lesser degree the kitchen cupboards, they were "water-stained", likely the humidity in the bathroom and to an extent the kitchen has stained them or has caused water stains-quite noticeable. Our room was quite dark, no direct sunlight - probably ok in the summer, but some natural sunlight in winter would be great. I'm sure not all rooms are like that. We were on the main floor, some (maybe all) of the 2nd floor units had balcony's, although our room had a sliding door of the main bedroom and one off the kitchen, but no real patio, and as mentioned no direct sunlight (facing North) Kitchen was well equipped full size fridge, stove and micro-wave, drip coffee maker, blender, toaster, bowls and the like. There are 2 barbques on site in the pool area. The pool area was clean, but the furniture is in need of replacement, some of the chairs and lounges had been repaired with zip-ties. Parking is good both covered and open areas.

With five of us traveling here to an event at Acrisure, this was the perfect property to accommodate all of us. The villa is spacious, clean, and has a great full kitchen which allowed us to make stir-fry for our Thanksgiving dinner. It sits in a nice neighborhood, and is really quiet. The only issue we encountered was that the office was closed when we arrived - we arrived between 4-5 as instructed, but no one was around. (It was Thanksgiving.). We found the after hours phone, but you cannot use it to make outbound calls. Used my cell phone instead and the first person checked for my name and didn’t find it. He told me to cal the office, which rang and rang until I got a message telling me to call the after hours number. Called that back and got a different person who was more helpful - she put me on hold, called someone from the property who confirmed that my keys were in the combo box, and gave me the combo. Smooth sailing from there. Didn’t get any advance communication from the property that they would be closed when I arrived, but it all worked out in the end. Would definitely stay here again.
