Review Submitted: June 23, 2008
Date of Stay: June 2008
I stayed at this house a few weekends ago with 10 girls/women trying to get away on a nice relaxing weekend with friends. The house was beautiful and all, but when the first two girls arrived at the property they were greeted by a "nasty neighbor" throwing out profanity and threats; that was a little bit of a turn-off!!! Also by 3:00pm (we got there around noon) the Cops were already in the backyard telling us we were being loud and that there were noise complaints. OKAY GREAT were all thinking we have been at this house that we are paying all this money for and we cant even enjoy ourselves and take advantage because people are calling the cops...So we were told to keep it down, which we did, and sure enough a few hours later the cops were back again. Keep in mind that this was all before the sun went down on the first night that we arrived for our 3 day weekend....Not so good thoughts were going through our minds, and we even considered leaving but decided to stay....The rest of the weekend went completely well, no other visits from the Palm Springs Police telling us to quiet down or we will get a noise ticket. So other than that. I would recommed this place; the pool, grotto, and slide were amazing. For a smaller family with kids I would even be careful because a few kids screaming loud and playing in the pool is obviously not really allowed at this house. Good Point -- This house is a party house in the middle of this residential neighborhood, but at least before 10 women show up or are thinking renting this place for the weekend, A LITTLE WARNING about these nuisances would be nice....Great Place otherwise and had a BLAST!
Owner's Response: We are the owner's/managers of this beautiful property. We read our reviews because we want to know how our guests feel about their experience and because we believe we can learn from their experience and their comments about their stay; about the house and pool, and about management and the owners. It does appear that this gorup of ladies were not entirely happy with their stay although they loved the house and say they "had a blast." We wish to make a few comments about their stay and perhaps what went wrong and why they were not entirely happy. Their comment that "this is a party house in a residential neighborhood" is entirely untrue. This is not a party house. To the contrary we have house rules which specifically state that this is not a party house and that our neighbors must be respected. Since the visit of these ladies, we have made this even more explicit. We have also added, "If you get really intoxicated and loud, it is likely that the neighbors will call the police." We ask everyone to read and sign these rules before we rent the house to them. We are booked almost every weekend year round, so obviously most people do not mind following the rules. We have also found it necessary to add to our rules since the visit of these ladies, that we take an inventory of our towels and linens and other items and that you will be charged for any missing items as well as a service charge for repalcement of missing items. We welcome families, young professionals and anyone with whom we can share mutual respect and with whom we can share this property. You can have a really wonderful time here if you treat this beautiful property as if it were your own.
