Great Stay

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The property manager was extremely responsive. The pool is very unique and ideal for families with small kids who are not confident swimmers yet. Unlike other pools where there is risk that kids will wander outside and fall in this pool requires a boost up for a toddler to access the water.

Weekend Work Stay

We rented Ocotillo retreat for an out of town event we attended in Palm Springs. We loved the property. The host was so accommodating and was always available to help us if we had a question. The property was exactly what we thought it would be and it was perfect for our stay. The rooms were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for all of us.

one of the best listings I’ve ever rented

This was honestly one of the best listing I’ve ever rented. I’ve been renting property every year in Palm Springs for the past 10+ years & this was our favorite. Each room was accommodating & the pool was raised so it was added peace of mind for our kiddos. I highly recommend this listing to anyone that’s on the fence. Definitely worth it!

Property gorgeous

The property is gorgeous. However, not clean. The pool was dirty and dusting all over the backyard. You can tell no one washed it down. The fact that they don’t even have a number to contact management. It’s only email and text messaging. Additionally bugs inside the house and even spiders in bedsheets. The cooking oil had tiny mosquitoes it was disgusting. Pots and pans not washed properly. Please make sure to read contract before signing. Very deceiving especially the fact that I declined insurance, but was charged. I can go on, but I’m sure you get the point. This was a family vacation.
