I thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The hot tub was great. The pool was great. The only suggestion I have is that you improve the lighting in the living room.

Great clean house and warm pool
Good trip the week after Christmas. Very clean, no issues, great pool, spa and sun.
I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed this property! The home was clean and comfortable. The outdoor space was amazing! We were minutes from downtown. It was a quiet neighborhood and we felt safe and happy while we were there!
Perfect for our week get away. Near Escena golf course, close to grocery stores. Pool heating didn’t feel that warm. Pretty bummed I paid that much for that temperature of pool heating.

Great pool for relaxing and kids!
I was visiting Palm Springs with my friend for my mini baby moon. But my only requirement was heat and a pool. This place was perfect. My friend and her 5 month accompanied me and the pool was great for me to just sit in and for him to play in because of the extensive shallow end! Once we got a hiccup with the pool heat figured out, it worked flawlessly and was very comfortable. Rest of house was comfortable as well. Wish there had been umbrellas for the loungers but it looked like they were by the trash so perhaps were recently damaged. We made do and would be back again to this place.
Charming home, very spacious and well maintained. Each room has nice decor, loved having the morning coffee in the backyard with flowers and birds around. We didn’t get a chance to use the swimming pool. Quiet neighborhood and close to the highway, easy access to everything we wanted to see: Indian Canyon, Joshua Tree NP, Indian Wells. Palm Springs has lots of nice shops and restaurants, and the Aerial Tramway offered excellent views!

Disliked: Communication
Location was fairly close to downtown. Nice landscaping. Nice pool and hot tub. All outdoor furniture is tired and some broken. Needs to be replaced. Messages to host not returned. Very poor communication. Probably wouldn’t stay here, again.
This place was nice to be able to come back to after going to the Indian Wells tennis tournament. Nice, easy stay. Good communication. TV was a bit difficult to figure out. Overall a nice stay.
The house was great and the pool was perfect. Our only complaint was the noise from the airplanes & the neighbor’s dogs that barked at all hours. We did have a hummingbird that visited daily in the backyard! The views were spectacular. Still overall would highly recommend and we had a great visit here!

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Vrbo seems good, Vacasa, the actual rental company is not so good.
The house itself was nice and met our needs. Vacasa, who manages the rental was dishonest about many things and charged for things they said they could not do. I will never rent a place that Vacasa is in charge of again.

Comfy House with Great Pool
This is our second girls weekend in this house in Palm Springs. The pool is perfectly situated to get every moment of sun through the day! The beds in the bedrooms are super comfy. The kitchen has most things you need, however many of the pots and pans for cooking have seen better days. The house was clean when we arrived. The TV was easy to figure out with any app you want to log into and watch. We paid for the pool and hot tub to be heated for our entire stay (an extra $450) and it was not heated upon our arrival. It was fixed and heated the next day, but that was a disappointment. The house would be even better if it had great comfy furniture in the living room for movie nights or binging after a long day in the sun. The faucet in the primary bath was falling out of the sink and the water heater in the garage was leaking water. Overall we love this house but it is getting very expensive to stay here which is too bad.

Love the Home, beautiful setting - outdoor space needs help
love the space, very open dining area and living area... bedrooms are decent size, location is also great and close to shops.
there are few items to note out. the pool is in the front yard and BBQ is in the back yard. so if you like to spend time with the kids at the pool while making lunch, you can't.
we had a very bad experience with cleanliness of the house. there were dog hairs and dust all over the outdoor pool cushions. owners ask you to put the cushions away after your stay, so clearly they never get clean. i did call and complain and after a yelling match with the customer service who told me to hang up the phone if i don't like their service, i have been promised a refund on the cleaning fee. the next day, the cleaning person came through and cleaned the cushions, which i had to wash with the hose outside.
house has decent amount of essentials, but very minimal. no large pans for example, very limited number of forks and spoons, and only one of many items like soap or paper towel roll.
i would blame this not on the house or the owner, but mainly on the managers, who apparently took over the house from another manager through the merger, but that doesn't justify the lack of attention
finally, house has minimal furniture so if you have 6 people, don't expect to sit comfortably and watch tv
