Amazing master bath

6 adults were very comfortable in this large home. We enjoyed the spa, pool and work out room. The kitchen was very well stocked. We prepared our own breakfast and lunch, and ordered in dinner. There is a lot of shopping nearby. Wish we would have stayed longer to fully enjoy the master bath!

Great desert getaway for the family

We needed to get away after being stuck in the house for 4 months due to Covid. We needed a pool to entertain our 8 year old son (and the adults!) This house was perfect because we had the master and guest for us and our son...and my sister used the casita that's attached. We didn’t have to worry about our son waking up his aunt early every morning and she had privacy when she wanted it. The house was UBER clean and had everything kitchen gadget we needed - it was almost as if we were in our own home. Whenever we had a question, the owner responded in a minute. It was an amazing vacation that we’ll always remember, a much needed getaway, wish we could’ve stayed longer and hope to return soon!

Amazing Spacious Home Away from Home

Walked into this beautiful, classy, clean, spacious home and was in complete awe!!! Felt more like a resort home! We didn't get to enjoy all the amenities the home had to offer as we were basically there to sleep. The pool looked amazing, but it was too cold to jump in, in January. LOL. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we would have needed. Bedrooms and linens/towels were clean and plenty to go around. There was a washer and dryer on the premises which was awesome! The separate Casita had its own entrance and bathroom, but needed a separate key to get in the house. Perfect for someone or a couple who are not used to having kids running around in their space. LOL The owner was readily available for any questions or issues we had. Overall... we would come back in a heartbeat!!! We highly recommend this property!!! Thank you Leyla for allowing us to experience your beautiful home!!! It was the perfect place for 2 families and a single to enjoy the comforts of home.

Perfect location

Reviews are hard. This home was perfect in so many ways. Size of home for family with children and guests was so nice. The pool and backyard were lovely. My husband enjoyed using the office as it was appropriately equipped. The neighborhood was very quiet and enjoyable. We could walk for coffee, groceries and to great resturant nearby! My concern is with rental homes that need some upgrades and you are paying a substantial amount to stay. The bedding, towels, sofas, carpet were very well used and in much need of replacment. Kitchen was large and well equipped, but micro, one oven and stove all had working issues. We bought new pillows from Costco as we were there for two months. I would have bought bedding if I could afford it! I am a verteran VRBO user. We'd like to think we get what we pay for, but not so in homes that are strictly rentals. Pictures are beautful, but do not reflect the wear and tear of many people passing through. Owner was delightful. The Service people are necessary, but did not perform to the optimum.

Absolutely Stunning and Relaxing

We stayed here fo a short weekend getaway. I’m so glad we chose to stay here. The photos on line do NOT do this place justice! It’s beautiful, spacious, with plenty of amenities to keep everyone happy. The pool was super warm and inviting. The pool accessories where perfect for my 5 year old to use who isn’t a strong swimmer. The communication with Lejla was perfect. She let us know where everything was located and responded immediately to questions I had while staying there. You’ll love being in the prestige home. For those staying in the master bedroom, you’ll be in awe of that wonderful shower.. I took some notes so we can use that when we build our home in Texas ☺️ Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will be staying here again in the future. Thanks Lejla for hosting us!

Great family vacation house

This was a great house for a little family get together over the long holiday weekend with five adults, a 2 year old and a 3 month old. It was very clean, which was a concern of ours when booking a vacation during these covid-19 times. The property is larger than the pictures make it appear and the little casita gave a nice separate area for the grandparents away from crying babies if needed. The property owner was very helpful and responsive. Our kids really enjoyed the pool and the location was very convenient to grocery stores, coffee shops, and take out places. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

A perfect family getaway

The place is well equipped and has everything you need and then some. I’ve never used an air fryer and still didn’t on this trip. Has a vita mix and slow cooker ect...The location was so ideal, close to shopping, restaurants, Palm Springs, La Quinta. Highly recommend the place! The owner is wonderful and responds quickly too.

We loved this house a lot as it is perfect for our family of five. Always clean, plenty of towels, and close to everything you need for your stay. Leyla, the owner is amazing to work with. We had booked the house last minute for labor day weekend and she was out of the country. She went our of here way to make this work. Thank you, Leyla. We'll be back :)

Great house for a family getaway

This was a great house to stay at. Very specious and comfortable. We had a few issues. The fridge freezer was defrosting due to the prior occupant over freezing it and there was water leaking. But not a big deal. The 4th bedroom is outside with a separate key from the front, which was a surprise and we didn't get to you it as we were traveling with little kids, but we made it work. The grill needs to be updated as one burner is not functioning and over all very dirty if you plane to grill anything. The pull was great. Too bad the weather was cold for late May and didn't get to use it as much. Over all, it was a great stay. Would recommend it.

Four couple birthday weekend

This is a beautiful and well appointed home. It has a nicely stocked kitchen and the home has been well cared for by the owner. We would recommend it highly and plan to use it again. Four couples were able to fit comfortably.
