Absolutely the best...all the way around.

We had the most relaxed weekend. The house was beautiful, immaculate, and well appointed. The pool area was charming with plenty of shade and comfy places to sit in between refreshing swims. It was very well located...we laughed that it was 7 minutes from anyplace we wanted to go. Including the airport. The neighborhood was quiet. The birds were entertaining. There was great communication with David, the owner. We will be back.

Great house and great location!

This house is perfect for large groups! We had 10 people and the space was perfect and had enough bedrooms and bathrooms that nobody felt cramped.The outdoor and pool areas are to die for and we loved lounging around the pool during the day, and walking into town at night for dinner. We were concerned about the Palm Springs noise ordinance, but didn't run into any issues with it and as long as you follow the rules, you shouldn't either.David was a great point of contact for the check in process and it was amazing that we were allowed to check in at 10am instead of the usual 4pm.We'd definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Family Reunion

Our stay had something for everyone. Walking distance to a park with playground, tennis courts and basketball courts; walking distance to downtown Palm Springs; very close to the airport; no need to rent a car; pool for the kids; walking distance to hiking trails. The house was super comfortable. Couldn't have asked for a better time.

Walking distance to everything!

We had such a fun 29th college reunion long weekend! House is very spacious and well appointed. Very Clean and our host was great. Easy, responsive and very nice. Location is awesome- we walked to restaurants & shops & rooftop yoga. Hiked in Joshua tree one day which was stunning. Only drawback was no music allowed outside ever, which is a palm springs thing (not just this house I think) but all of the stern warnings just made us feel a little nervous- but we’re a tame old group so it wasn’t an issue. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect for Stagecoach/Coachella

What a great house! 6 full bedrooms with their own bathrooms (one joining), plenty of room for multiple couples! We appreciated the 2 dishwashers too! 15-minute walk from shuttles to/from Stagecoach and walking distance to main strip. There are a lot of rules but in the end if you take care of the property and be respectful it’s not hard to comply. Backyard had a lagoon feel with full privacy. Well stocked kitchen!

Great stay

This was a great place for a family get together. There was 14 in our group and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms was perfect. Ktichen fully decked out for all meals, we did a full blown Thanksgiving dinner cooked on site. Having two ovens, a six-burner stove top and two dish washers were perfect. The pool and jacuzzi, and patio was great for the kids (and the adults). Not really any green space for backyard activities. The pictures in the description are deceptive, the place is much bigger and spread out. And areas can be closed off for privacy as needed. Close to downtown (walking distance) and centrally located. David was immediately responsive, would definitely return!

Annual family trip

We have rented a house in Palm Springs for about 12 years. Our family comes together for a few days every year for games, swimming, shopping and lots of eating. This is the first year we stayed in this house and it was wonderful. It is definitely one of the best. Our property ambassador was outstanding and worked so hard to make sure everything in the house was perfect. Having all different ages coming together and everyone was so happy. My 15 year old grandson said this stay was the best part of his summer! I guess that says it all. Thank You

Comfortable with everything we needed

Super cozy while still having plenty of space for 12 adults. We loved cooking together every night and all the different areas around the property to hang out as a group. We happened to be in Palm Springs when it was over 110 degrees every day, but the house stayed cool and there was plenty of shade/umbrellas outdside for us to still enjoy the pool area. Communication with the owner was easy and very accommodating. Thanks for a great stay!

Exceeded Expectations

We had a lovely stay at the Songwriter's Sanctuary. The pictures do not do the house justice, it is much more spacious and fit our group perfectly! We had such an easy check-in and were given a detailed run down of the house and all the amenities. We were pretty paranoid about the noise ordinance but didn't have any problems. We loved that the house was walking distance to downtown and enjoyed the pool and hot tub. If given the chance, we would 100% stay here again, was truly the perfect getaway.

Perfect property

We loved our stay at the Songwriter’s Sanctuary. Beautiful home, beautiful yard. David was as perfect concierge, there when we needed him and not when we didn’t. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, so there wasn’t a lot of pool time. But we 11 girlfriends had a great time anyway. Only suggestion would suitcase racks in each room, or dressers even better. There was not a lot of room to unpack in some of the rooms. Better and more hair dryers would be good as well. All in all, a wonderful visit
