The place is basically its own resort
Pictures don't do this property justice. We were amazed by how large the house and the grounds were - we had more than enough space to spread out and do all the available activities simultaneously. The house was stocked with every necessity, making it really easy to settle in. Owner and property manager went above and beyond to make sure every one of our needs were addressed. Could not recommend more!

Great Vacation Getaway!
The house equaled, if not surpassed our expectations in all categories. The layout of the house was particularly good with the bedrooms grouped together near the back of the house. (The primary suite was huge!) All the bathrooms were sparkling and well-appointed. The common areas were spacious, comfortably furnished and varied, enabling tv watchers and games players to gather in different settings. The backyard was amazing with a delightful pool for cooling off and socializing, several well-shaded conversation areas, and a large grass-covered volleyball court. Our 20 and 30 somethings loved the outdoor games (including badminton) and numerous others. The pool had a large shallow "shelf" that was perfect for our 15-month old grandson to play in with his water wings. All of us enjoyed ourselves immensely here and we certainly hope to return for another holiday weekend. I should add that because of Covid, we didn't really go out, so the 8 of us entertained ourselves quite comfortably at Araby Commons, with plenty of spaces to gather or to be alone. We've rented numerous homes in the Palm Springs area over the years and this was one of the very best! MaryAnn and Debby were very friendly and helpful between booking, check-in and check-out.

Summer staycation
This was a great place to stay at! My kids and family all loved it. The house is well kept, fully stocked, and very spacious. We were lacking of nothing while staying there.
The backyard was huge with plenty of pool toys and games for kids and adults. I enjoyed the Baja shelf with plenty of umbrellas for shade.
The rental process was super easy. Communication with the owner Maryann and the property manager Debbie was super easy.
Overall a great experience and definitely a great choice for our family summer staycation!

Quality Time with Family
A family of four adults, four our teenagers and the pet dog spent three days in the heat but we had a wonderful time. Plenty of pool time, meals together and the house was perfect for our group. We spent quality time together inside and outside. This house is set up perfectly for family and enjoying being together or being alone. I highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful oasis -- well-maintained & attention to detail
The property and house are beautiful and well maintained. A lot of attention to detail. Clean. The pool and outdoor areas are wonderful with tons of games and seating areas. BBQ was spotless. The host have really thought of everything! It is a bummer not to listen to music by the pool -- so know Palm Springs rules before you go. We had a great time reuniting with family and would definitely stay again.

Fantastic Property!
Our family of 6 and 2 dogs had a truly fabulous stay! The house is absolutely beautiful and is in a great location very close to so many wonderful restaurants. The backyard is amazing. We used the heated pool and spa, fire pit, and bocce court every day. The well maintained, lush lawn is awesome and huge and we had a blast playing volleyball, badminton, and croquet and our dogs had even more fun playing together. Literally everything you need to enjoy your time is provided. The beds are super comfortable and outfitted with luxury linens, there are ample soft and fluffy towels, and everything was extremely clean. MaryAnn and Debby are really communicative and a pleasure to work with. They thought of every detail to make this a first class destination. We would not hesitate to come here again! Thanks so much for a great family getaway!
