TLDR: The back yard oasis and rec room are probably the best I've had staying anywhere. Property is super well managed and incredibly responsive, much better than normal.
It's a very tranquil and relaxing place, very quick drive to downtown. It's a slightly odd configuration for a house, but it's actually perfect for teens or adult family with a lovely separate guest Casita. You'll probably do the gathering outside or in the rec room, living rooms are good for a couple hanging out. Outdoors is again really quite amazing. It's a neat oasis with a pool thats pretty warm, water slide, spa, outdoor kitchen and eating, and a really perfect hammock and little beach. It looked to me like rooms were getting gradually updated, so things like new ceiling fans etc. I'd say the bedrooms and kitchen are "good" for this kind of rental with the kitchen being above average for being stocked with dishes etc. Carol and Brian were both amazing. Check in was awesome, I had cell numbers, any text was answered super quickly, every question or issue was resolved. We had a windstorm (in Palm Springs!) which caused the pool to have significant debris, Carol actually called ME that evening and was proactive around arranging cleaning, and addressed a couple very minor issues. At the end of the trip, I went through the checklist, locked the house, went to the airport, returned my car, and realized I'd left my backpack in the house. Without hesitating, regardless of being very much occupied in her own situation, she and Brian arranged for him to bring me the backpack (place is close to airport. Love Palm Springs). Brian was awesome. Are their cons? If you are super picky about an upscale pristine house, need it super cold with AC, want to have music playing outside, or want it super walkable to the strip, examine the tradeoffs with other properties. For us, this is among our favorite vacations, with the best management for a property, and the best outside and rec room with a really perfect layout for a big family, and good location. Perfect for a relaxing get away for a family.
