Nice getaway

Very nice and convenient home to stay. My dogs enjoyed the huge backyard and the friendly neighbor dog who made them feel welcome. A place to recommend and bring friends or family. Extremely comfortable.

Little R&R

Spent the weekend relaxing with friends and chilling in the pool. This was perfect for us! Clean, neat and had a nice funky chill to it. A hot tub in back would be a great addition to enjoy the view of the mountains!

California Dreamin

Great Property that delivered as advertised Beds firm but comfy, everything worked well, bright and comfortable abode. Location was OK - things out of our control were barking dogs, speeding traffic, and dodgy neighbourhood.

Happy Place

From the moment we walked in we felt happy. The home was bright, fun and very clean. Our teens said it was the best sleep of their life. 😊 Communication was above par! We can’t wait to stay again.

Great Getaway House

Really nicely decorated and true to the photos and well equipped house about 20 minutes from downtime Palm Springs. Great communication from host. Decent supermarkets 5 minutes away, comfy beds and a nicely set out garden space. The only detraction is there are a lot of barking dogs in the neighbourhood which is the only downside but if that doesn't bother you (doesn't seem to bother any of the neighbours) then this place is perfect for a getaway close enough to Palm Springs.
