☆ Downtown Palm Springs: 3.8 miles
☆ Palm Springs Aerial Tramway: 6.3 miles
☆ The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens: 16 miles
☆ Cabazon Outlets: 19 miles
☆ Empire Polo Club: 23 miles
☆ Joshua Tree National Park: 41 miles

☆ Family-Friendly: As parents of young children, we understand how challenging traveling with little ones can be. That`s why we`ve made every effort to accommodate families with young kids. We provide a pack `n play with crib sheets, as well as children`s cups, plates, bowls, and utensils. There are also books, games, and puzzles for the whole family to enjoy!

☆ Pet-Friendly Accommodations: We welcome one dog only (up to 60 lbs) for a fee of $150 per stay. This fee helps cover the additional cleaning required for pet hair. If any waste beyond hair (such as urine or feces) is found, an additional $200 cleaning fee will be charged. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pet, and dogs should not be left unattended in the home, as barking may disturb neighbors. Please note: Dogs are not allowed in the pool. Please let us know if you are traveling with a dog

☆ Hot Tub: The hot tub is included in your nightly rate and can be easily heated using the backyard controls. Please allow up to 2 hours for it to reach 100-102°F, depending on the outside temperature. If you’d like the hot tub warmed up before your arrival, feel free to message us in advance, and we’ll be happy to turn it on for you! *Please note our spa jets do not work

☆ Pool heater: The pool requires a lot of natural gas to heat, so using this will incur a daily fee of $125 (Plus Tax). This will be billed prior to your arrival if you request it.

☆ Maintenance: Our pool technician cleans our pool on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Our landscaper comes once a week every Monday morning. Walk up trash service is taken Thursday mornings. All services are for your added convenience and will not bother you throughout your stay.

☆ Desert living: This home, like many in Palm Springs, is located in the desert where sand is common and can be carried by the wind. On windy days, the pool may catch some sand. Our pool cleaners always do their best to remove it, but in some cases, a small amount may remain in the pool.

☆ Noise: Please note we are near the airport so you can see/hear the planes. Which we and our guests find it more entertaining than distracting! They do have a curfew.

☆ Guest Access: As our guests, you`ll enjoy full access to the entire property and all its amenities, ensuring a private and luxurious experience. From the vibrant living spaces to the outdoor pool, hot tub, and cozy bedrooms, every corner of our Palm Springs retreat is yours to explore and enjoy.

Our team is available daily from 9 AM to 9 PM to assist with any questions or requests, and you can easily reach us by phone or email. For urgent issues after hours, we provide a 24/7 emergency line, ensuring support whenever you need it. We are committed to making your getaway effortless, relaxing, and unforgettable!

☆ Location: Nestled at the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, our abode is graced with scenic vistas of majestic peaks. The enchanting desert landscape, with its raw natural splendor, serves as a magnet to this tranquil neighborhood.

Though our area is predominantly residential, the bustling Downtown Palm Springs is just a breezy 10-minute drive away. There, a plethora of amenities await – from tantalizing restaurants and chic boutiques to vibrant art galleries and rich cultural experiences. Moreover, the vicinity boasts an array of outdoor activities including golf courses, hiking trails, and a myriad of other recreational adventures.

Adding to the convenience, the Palm Springs International Airport is in close proximity, making travel seamless and effortless. This is an added boon for jet-setters and visitors, integrating accessibility with the serene and alluring atmosphere of our neighborhood.

☆ Guests have several options to get around:
1. Car Rentals: Renting a car is often the most convenient way to get around Palm Springs, especially for visiting places outside of the city like Joshua Tree National Park or other parts of Coachella Valley.
2. Rideshares/Taxis: Companies like Uber and Lyft operate in Palm Springs, as do traditional taxi services. These are useful for quick trips around town if you prefer not to drive.
3. Bicycles: Palm Springs is a bike-friendly city with many designated bike lanes and routes. You can rent a bike to explore the city at your own pace.
4. Public Transportation: The SunLine Transit Agency operates the public bus service in Palm Springs, with routes connecting various parts of the city. However, buses might not be as convenient for some tourists due to limited hours and frequency.
5. Walking: If you`re staying downtown, many attractions, restaurants, and shops are within walking distance. Walking can be pleasant during the cooler months, but remember that Palm Springs can get very hot, especially in the summer.
6. Scooters: Some areas of Palm Springs also have electric scooters for rent, which can be a fun way to get around.

Cute private and convenient stay

We found ourselves on a road trip from phoenix to Las Angeles and back to Palm Springs after adopting a dog. We needed a comfortable place with a nice, enclosed yard that would accommodate our two senior wieners and the new addition and our hosts were helpful and easy to work with. We even enjoyed the hot tub! The location was perfect and we had a quick jaunt through the city before heading back. Definitely recommended.

Great weekend getaway home

Great getaway home. My wife stayed her for my birthday. The house was true to the photos online. There was an issue with the power when we first arrived but Elissa handled it right away. Our puppy loved the place too, but be aware the astroturf gets very hot so keep them off or get them some booties. 19/19 would drag again .

Fun Stay in Palm Springs

Our friend group had a great stay at this nicely updated & decorated home, clean, comfortable space, and very comfortable beds. It is a convenient location near Palm Springs, desert hikes, and a grocery store, quiet neighborhood (except for planes flying over- price you pay being close to airport- and it was neat seeing the vintage planes). The backyard space is a really fun hangout. Elissa was an amazing host, extremely kind & easy to communicate with, and quickly resolved a few minor issues we had. Checking in & out was a breeze. Joshua Tree National Park is cool to visit, then stop at The Tiny Pony Tavern for delicious burgers. Also loved the date shakes and fresh citrus trees. We all enjoyed our stay here.
