Palm Desert VRBO 9.6 Really?
Our stay at this property was disappointing to say the least. The above photo misrepresents the view from the back porch. The photo is angled to give the impression of a view of a golf fairway. In fact the unit is on a tee box, there is about 50 yards of green space leading to a road and a magnificent view of the golf course parking lot. The unit is dated and cluttered with the owners personal stuff. The kitchen is extremely disorganized to the point that we could not cook. The refrigerator was filled with food that we think was the owners which gave off a foul odor. We're not just talking about a half empty Ketchup bottle. We hesitated to do groceries because we did not want to use the fridge. When we opened drawers to store our clothing for the stay we found clothing and other personal stuff. We were given one key which was a struggle every time we needed to open the front door. The bed was awful, it had an old mattress with an ill fitting 6" foam topper on it that moved throughout the night. The result was a lumpy and uneven surface that made sleep difficult. Not to mention the daily 5:00 am wake-up visit from the golf course staff in their tractor. The washing machine was obviously mis-installed in that you could not run a load with cold water. I did bring this to the owners attention who offered to give us a credit for a trip to the laundromat. We could go on. The Palm Desert Resorter facilities were nice. The staff at the Country Club Bar were lovely. Golf Course OK.
