Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I gave this a 5 star rating because Pool side Rentals were terrific. The misters did not work and they were prompt in coming out to fix it. It still leaked on one side and i hate wasting water. It pooled and did not drain. They also brought us some treats. Very responsiveLoved the pool as it was big, but the outdoor patio area is in need of repair and was really dirty. The rug under the table falling apart and pretty filthy. Kitchen was great, but lacked baggies, foil and saran wrap.I have been to Palm Springs and rented a few places. The house was a bit dark and not the kind of retro place i assumed it was. Beds a bit too soft and who needs super duper heavy comforters in the summer. Bathrooms pretty tiny with only tubs. So overall i would say its a 4 star. I thought the description said there was view of the mountains. Yep if you stood up in back yard. TV was great to watch movies. Areas of the house have deferred maintenance. ##### monique p.
