Answers to FAQ:

1. Per County of Riverside noise ordinance, the level for sound at the perimeter of the property cannot exceed 55 decibels during the day, and 45 decibels after 10 pm. We allow small bluetooth brought in, as noise has been an issue with the neighbors in the past. If law enforcement is called for a violation of the noise ordinance, the renter IS liable to cover ALL fees associated with this violation PLUS an additional fee of $500 to the property manager for dealing with the County Code Enforcement and hassle. The total fees may be upwards of $1,500. we will need to have you pay this before your departure.

2. Adding decorations to the property for the photo shoot or retreat is perfectly fine, we ask confetti and glitter be avoided and that your are responsible for taking down and removing from the property. Please be courteous and respectful of the property though, to ensure that our property isn't damaged in the process.

3. We can heat the pool for an additional cost of $200 per day. It's a large pool and is quite expensive for us to heat. We will also need to know 2 days prior to check-in and payment has to be made first. The pool does take the most part of a full day to heat and will need this time before your arrival to prepare the pool. we keep at 70degrees and it can heat to 90.

4. You may bring a small bluetooth for music but be aware....The Riverside County noise ordinances require a daytime maximum decibel level of 55 that would likely be exceeded by groups bringing their own speakers.

A yes, with one reservation.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. We had a family reunion and the pool was a big hit with the kids. The property was convenient to lots of attractions. My only reservation was that there were a few things on the property that were broken or didn’t function properly. These were mentioned to the property manager and I trust that these are now in good working order.

Just as advertised - great for groups & super responsive host
Terrific location right near downtown Palm Springs - great host that was super responsive in advance of the visit and while we were there. We had 3 small families staying together and the property was perfect for the group. Some of the bedrooms and bathrooms were in a separate casita, as noted on the listing - this worked out really well for one of the families that wanted slightly more privacy. A great stay and I would highly recommend.

Staycation
I decided to have a birthday staycation with my family and loved that this location could accommodate multiple families. The listing and photos made the home look very nice and new, but it wasn’t the case. The check-in process was seamless and the property manager was responsive when needed. When we arrived, the freezer was open and all the ice melted on the floor. The freezer doesn’t close all the way unless pushed with force, so I’m assuming the cleaning lady didn’t notice. The kitchen had some of the basics to use, but we were missing cooking oil, black pepper, scissors, etc., so we went to the local store to pick-up. The blinds felt like they hadn’t been cleaned in YEARS. It was so dusty when we tried to open it and there were dents/missing paint scratches all over the walls or cabinets. Most of the doors didn’t lock properly which was weird. The casita didn’t have central air and had a portable AC unit in each room but one of the rooms didn’t work so it was a hot pocket. In addition, one of the bunk beds was not cleaned. There was hair and lint all over the bedsheet.. pretty gross. Lastly, the house creaks like no other. It sounded like someone was walking through the house or on the roof the entire night.

Beautiful Home & Fun Stay!
Our recent getaway to Palm Springs was nothing short of magical, all thanks to this remarkable Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the enchanting beauty of the desert and the absolute perfection of our accommodations. Let's start with the crown jewel of this property - the beautiful outdoor space with a pool. It was a paradise in the desert! The shimmering pool, surrounded by swaying palm trees and vibrant desert flora, provided the most idyllic backdrop for our days of relaxation. The pool became the epicenter of our laughter-filled adventures. The closed driveway with parking was a huge plus for us. Knowing our vehicles were secure and easily accessible made our stay worry-free. This convenience truly allowed us to make the most of our desert adventure. Inside, the accommodations were simply divine. The main house and the casita provided spacious and luxurious living spaces. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights after our days of exploration. The well-equipped kitchen and cozy living areas made us feel right at home. We were also pleasantly surprised by the host's thoughtfulness. Their hospitality was unparalleled, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect stay and very communicative to ensure we were comfortable. If you're seeking a tranquil oasis in the heart of the desert, look no further. This Airbnb is a slice of paradise, and we left with hearts full of gratitude and a longing to return.
