Noise regulations under the Palm Springs Good Neighbor Program was a big issue with renting this house (you even need to go through a 5-10 video-call before they will give you check-in details). Unfortunately the concern for our relaxation was not equally respected. The ordinance required no outside music, cell phone use, electronics, etc — upon threat of a 500 fine - jets were going overhead up to every 5 minutes during several periods of the day each day. Then, on our last morning before checkout - hoping to sleep in a bit - landscaping came at 7:30 am with lawnmowers and leaf blowers right near the house for more than 1 hour. The management company dismissed the issues saying the house is not in the flight path — while maybe technically true every day flights were overhead — saying that landscaping would be performed one day a week, but failed to mention by ordinance this can start as early as 7 am. The property overall was comfortable and pool and spa nice, but the daily jet traffic really was annoying. For those looking for quiet, this is unfortunately not a good choice. For those wanting a little freedom to play music at a reasonable level and have social time with friends outside, this also may not be a fit for you.
