This house and casita were impeccably clean! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The back yard is wonderful with lots of seating for sun or shade. We had the pool heated and it was perfect to swim in day and evening. We also used the hot tub early in the morning and in the evening every day. Would definitely stay again! :-)

Lovely Property!
We absolutely loved staying at this property! The house is stylish and comfortable with all the amenities we needed and more. The backyard is beautiful and serene with plenty of space to spread out. We were looking for a quiet getaway and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the property. The house was immaculately clean. We watched TV a bit using our own apps but didn't spend much time inside because it was so pleasant outside. We will definitely be visiting again and can't wait to stay at this property next time!

Long time Palm Springs visitors.
We’ve stayed in many PS houses, this one has good points and not so good points. The pool and outdoor area are very nice. The location is great, easy walk to grocery store and downtown. The house was clean except for the cement floor and there were tiny ants on the kitchen counter which we’ve never experienced before in PS. There is only one TV in the house and one in the casita. The only way we could watch live national channels (ABC, CBS, NBC) was for me to open a UTube-TV+ account, which I was reimbursed for. It was March Madness week and we were all anxious to watch. Artwork is lovely but would prefer televisions in the bedrooms. And the WiFi was not very consistent for the two weeks we were there.

The house and location are perfect. Everything around town was easily accessible from the Racquet Club neighborhood including groceries, downtown shops, museums, as well as the airport. The living room automatic fireplace was a nice touch for quiet evenings. This classic butterfly roof Alexander home does not disappoint!

We had a great time staying in this property in Palm Springs. We were able to check in early thanks to Josh and found everything we needed straight away. Very stylish decor where the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We particularly loved the outdoor space, especially the pool and hot tub. The property is 5 mins drive to downtown Palm Springs where there are plenty of great restaurants. We would definitely visit again!

Sweet Sixty Birthday
This was a wonderful property for my girlfriends and I. We were all celebrating our 60th year around the sun. It's walkable to downtown for shopping, the backyard is an oasis. We were by the pool everyday and by the firepit everynight.
One star off for communication, no robes or slippers available as stated in the listing also check out time was listed at 11am on the paper work and I was told it was actually 10, so we ended up having to hussle, but no big deal. Joshua the property manager was great!! I'll be back!!!

Mid-century Modern Escape
Nice mid-century modern property located in the Racquet Club Estates neighborhood, just a few minutes away from Downtown Palm Springs. Booking with Alison was quick and required only a minimal number of email/document exchanges. Checking in and out with the local property manager, Josh, went smoothly without any issues. The property layout and amenities were as expected and provided nice, relaxing stay. I would suggest a few updates to the house manual to reflect the timing of the pool/spa heating (heat turns off at night for both), slightly better disclosure of the external security cameras around the pool/external shower on the property pictures and some updates on the interior pictures with the most recent changes. Overall, very nice property which I would visit in the future and recommend to friends/family as well.
