Excellent For Small Groups

We had a laid back bachelorette weekend here and it was excellent. The full kitchen was useful, there were lots of places to lounge, the bathrooms were fully stocked, and location was perfect. When we encountered a few issues the people helping us were responsive and helpful. 100% recommend.

85th Birthday celebration

Enjoyed staying at the house, plenty of space for 5 ladies (4 adult daughters celebrating the 85th bday of our mother). The pool was wonderful during the evening, so many umbrellas for shade. Love the open layout, we did puzzles during the heat of the day and enjoyed the Thursday night market, the Short Film Festival, The AR experience, dinner at Mario's one night but liked the big kitchen and bbq for making meals at home. Two bathrooms made it easier for getting ready daily. Nice location, close to downtown.

Superior property in every way!

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!
