2 month stay in Palm Desert
Home is nicely decorated, kitchen well stocked. Beds very comfortable. Bathrooms on the small side but get the job done - the tub shower is slippery when wet. Plenty of patio seating.
Area consists of well maintained homes and quiet, friendly neighbors. Although the house is on a golf fairway and the grounds crew starts very early in the morning. The location is convenient.
Encountered some mechanical issues and Ed & Sandy were quick to respond and correct the problems.
We did not use the pool but it attracts the waterfowl in the area so we had geese and ducks visiting frequently and they are messy.
At arrival, the house appeared tidy and clean but upon further inspection, it was in need of a deep clean. A lot of sand/dirt had settled on every surface from door panels to ceiling fans, lamp shades, etc. We ended up doing the deep clean ourselves and the owners refunded our cleaning charge for the effort. After living in the desert for 2 months, and with the frequent wind/sand storms, the sand and dirt finds its way into the home and needs frequent cleaning to stay on top of it.
Some items in the house need a refresh: the bed linens and pillows need an update. Bath towels and floor mats and kitchen linens were stained and torn/snagged. And the blanket throws in the living room could use an update as well. These did not prevent us from enjoying our time here but you sure do appreciate when owners pay attention to the details.
