The home is beautiful, we loved the full mid-century modern vibe. The pool and hot tub were great and overall it just felt like a beautiful place to stay. It’s also in a very cute neighborhood of similar homes that is an architectural delight to walk around and see. A great find!

Great Home and Hostess

We loved our month in this house! The condition and location worked well for us. The back yard is fabulous. Leah was responsive and helpful--we had one issue and she immediately went to work and solved it in a way that made us very pleased.

Passed around between different property managers

We stayed at this property on Thanksgiving weekend. The listing description is accurate and the house is nice. Backyard is amazing. However, we seemed to get passed around between a multitude of property managers when trying diagnose small house issues. The person who checked us in seemed to be a friend of a friend of the homeowner. I messaged the listing party with issues via the VRBO app and then I was forwarded to another person to try and coordinate over text message. The multitude of house managers did not have a good idea how to solve small issues. Specialists were required to be called to the house for simple problems that they homeowners should’ve known how to fix. If we come back to this house, I will be asking for a better breakdown of who is checking us in and who to contact for problems during our stay.

Hi Sean, Thanks for the feedback and my apologies that your stay wasn't 5 star. We have a dedicated team there in palm springs to make sure that check-in and guest concerns are handled ASAP. We made sure to pull in our team and service providers to help demonstrate how to use the shower and to ensure the spa was heated to your preferred temperature, which required coordination between myself and the team there since it was a holiday weekend. Glad to hear you enjoyed the house and backyard and hope to have the chance to host you again in the future and provide a five star experience.

Great girls weekend!

We had a wonderful visit at Leah's property. The home is just as pictured and was perfect for our girls getaway. Leah was quick to respond with any questions we had and super helpful. The location is very close to the main area of downtown Palm Springs making it easy to go to shops and restaurants. The backyard pool area, daybed and fire pit were perfection! The only minor issue we had was that it is a smart home so everything is voice activated, the lights, and thermostat we couldn't seem to figure out, but that was such a minor point and didn't really effect our stay much. Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely return again!

Great getaway!

My group and I were looking for a relaxing, secluded getaway and that’s exactly what we got! The backyard is truly wonderful, we had trouble justifying going anywhere else during our trip because we had everything we needed at the property. I would definitely welcome the opportunity to return next time I’m in Palm Springs!
