This house was a beautiful home base for my family's three day stay in Palm Springs. Everything was very clean, the house is very spacious, and we really enjoyed the game room in the garage. The backyard was also very enjoyable and we had a good time hanging out there including in the jacuzzi. There is alot of airplane traffic overhead as the house is next to the airport, but we enjoyed seeing the planes taking off and the planes stopped flying at night so we were able to sleep just fine. It was also my in-laws first time staying in a vacation rental home and they were very impressed.
