Great experience!

This is our third time at the aluminum house. The house has everything you need and is in the best location to downtown Palm Springs. We will definitely be back!

Cool, Updated House, With Room For Improvement

overall, the Aluminum House was a nice place to stay. it was well appointed and the bed was really comfy. as advertised, it was walking distance to downtown PS, which was great! however, there were three very disappointing things about the place. 1. there was no working tv. i admit, i'm on the old side. at home we watch cable and stream Hulu. this house had three TV's and every one of them required a streaming service to watch. we were unable to watch TV during our entire stay. did Vacasa bother to tell us this before? nope. we ended up reading books, which in the greater sense of things, was probably not a bad alternative. 2. the spin cycle on clothes washer doesn't work. after three hours, waiting for it to spin and drain, we had to put soaking wet clothes in to the dryer to get them dry! 3. the shower head in the master bath was installed wrong. it cannot be adjusted so that it doesn't spray water against the glass door, which then runs out on to the floor. fortunately, there was another shower in the other bathroom, but still - an unworkable shower in the master?

Room With A View

This mid-century bungalow has fantastic views of the mountains around Palm Springs. Super clean, well equipped, and beautifully decorated. We were able to walk to the main drag where all the bars,shops, and restaurants are located. My husband and adult son were able to work remotely--- there is a desk area and the wifi was great. Loved the Aluminium House and would stay here again.

Nice home, unfortunate location and subpar service

The home itself was nicely maintained, decorated, and clean. However, it is located directly on a noisy street, with a pool at the front of the property, which rendered it unsuitable for relaxation with near constant noise from traffic. The listing did not advise either of these facts. Poor Service from Vacasa - Confusing, poorly managed check-in process with conflicting information from multiple sources. Including being given multiple access codes. - Very late 4 PM check-in time. Request for earlier check-in denied. This necessitated a very late arrival due to available travel options. - There are multiple lockboxes on the property, which I was not told about. The lockbox right next to the front gate wouldn’t open with any of the codes provided. Vacasa was slow to respond to inquiries gaining entry (considering I was stuck outside the house, unable to enter). Eventually I found an additional lockbox, hidden around the side of the house (in darkness, because by then it was well into nighttime) which contained the keys so I was able to get into the house. - Only one set of keys provided for multiple guests, and a request for additional keys was also denied. This required constant coordination to ensure we didn’t inadvertently lock the other one out of the house. While the home's condition was good, the noisy location and subpar service from Vacasa detracted from the stay. The listing transparency and check-in experience need to be vastly improved.

A lovely retreat

This private home felt very secluded. It was a welcome retreat from busy life. The pool was excellent and we loved grilling out.

Beautiful home

Gorgeous space, beautiful light, convenient location, good energy. Traffic can be loud from inside the house and because of the foliage surrounding the pool it gathers debris quickly. Even with those caveats would still highly recommend. Grateful for the space!

Fantastic home!

Super cute and comfortable home! Loved the windows that lined both side of the house for views of the pool and the patio on the other side. Nice, airy and bright. Close enough to walk to the downtown area too.

Lovely house overshadowed by street traffic

The house was perfect for 4 - bright, airy with nice mid-century touches. Kitchen was well equipped. The issue is its location on an frequently used access road to downtown…not quite the peaceful retreat we were hoping for.

Cute abode

Loved the layout and retro feel of the home! We were not completely informed of the location. Downside is the driveway off MAJOR thoroughfare. Traffic and noise were obtrusive. Led to believe home was walking distance to town and park. Not so. But overall, a very enjoyable week in a cute and comfortable aluminum house.

Great old school cool place to hang in Palm Springs

Perfect spot for 2 couples. Very well equipped with everything you need. Kitchen included spices, olive oil etc. A little street noise but not so much at night. Nice little private pool. Close to downtown shops and restaurants. Would stay again. Management was very helpful and responsive as needed. ENJOY!

Palm Springs Modern Living

Architecturally interesting property updated for contemporary living. Nicely appointed with everything one might need. Very clean. A bit noisy during the day from street noise but quiet at night. Had some issues with a few appliances during the stay which were very quickly replaced or repaired. Over all a fantastic property.

Nice, but.....

The house is small and the bathrooms are very small with no place to put your cosmetics. The pool was lovely and we did enjoy that but there is no shade, so it was uncomfortable to sit outside. It was very warm and you can not set the ac below 76 but there were no fans in the house and it’s pretty much all windows, so it felt warm. We went and bought a fan to help. I would not stay there again.
