We had a great stay for 1 wk in early Apr 2023 as a family with 2 younger children.
Owner/Joseph/Donna were very responsive - we didn’t receive any check in info even on day of arrival but when we arrived at PSP airport and messaged via VRBO app, received a response 30-60min later about check in details.
Unit is large and spacious and well situated in Desert Falls property. Suited us well because of its ground floor access with patio and close proximity to pool. BBQ and well stocked kitchen was a plus. Previous guests have clearly left items behind, with a few items expired, but having seasonings and other pantry items was very helpful.
Unit was relatively clean upon arrival, though not pristine (some old juice and bananas and used water bottles were still on the upper counter when we entered the home and the main bathtub seemed to need another wash/wipe down in the tub). This wasn’t particularly bothersome to us as we were happy with the unit overall, but some guests may find it an issue. We notified the contact person (Donna) about the leftover counter items and she was responsive. Water pressure is very high in main bathroom and normal in other bathroom. Hot water seemed to run out eventually if both showers were going at the same time. We managed fine by using one shower at a time or waiting between showers/staggering use to let hot water return.
Laundry room was also very well stocked. Plentiful bath and pool towels.
King bed was very comfortable and the unit was never hot even when it when temperatures rose considerably outside during our week. Didn’t even need to turn on the air conditioning.
The unit is somewhat outdated but maintained well. It overall presented better in person than in the photos on VRBO. For example, the sofa has been updated since the VRBO photos were taken (not a sofa bed).
It was a very relaxing, quiet, and comfortable stay. We would recommend it for couples, friends, or families (with well behaved children) who are not particular about being in the most modern, updated, perfectly functioning rental (which would cost a lot more on the same property). Value was great for the size, function, location, amenities, and supplies available.
Families should consider that there are many areas of the unit with home decor that require caution or care. We had no issue with this with our children, but may be a a consideration for some families.
