Fabulous House

This was the most pristine rental I have been in. Photographs are exactly what you get - kitchen well-stocked, huge private yard and pool. Lots of towels & abundant bed pillows. The location was close to everything in town - barely a 5 minute drive to the main streets of shops and restaurants. Props for very cool decor. Only minor comment is that it costs extra to heat the pool - which we know is not unusual, but would be so nice to have that feature included in the rate. Thank you!!

So nice we booked it twice! 😎

Perfect property for our group of co-workers attending a conference! The short 15-20 minute walk to the convention center coupled with the peace and quiet upon returning home after a busy day makes for a perfectly balanced trip. We booked this same spot last year so were well aware of the many amenities and personal touches the owner has included. Top notch communication before and during our stay. Highly recommend!

Superior property in every way! Our group was blown away by the communication from the owner, comfort & cleanliness of the property, numerous extra touches & amenities, and the convenient location to parks, downtown, and the convention center. We wish there was an option to give this property more than 5 stars!

About the host

Hosted by Brian L Petty

Host profile image
We feel very fortunate to have this home and we love sharing it with others. It is wonderful to hear the stories of families and friends, enjoying the house AND Palm Springs as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it is very convenient to all that Palm Springs has to offer, but at the same time feels very private. You can be in center of it one minute and relaxing by the pool the next.

What makes this property unique

We really wanted the outdoor area to be the main attraction. A good size pool with mountain views was a must. One of our favorite things about the house is enjoying a nice glass of wine, sitting in the spa while taking in the magnificent mountain views. We hope you will do the same!
