About The Owner

We are private owners of this architectural masterpiece. Albert Frey was a well known and respected architect here in the Coachella valley. His buildings include the famous Palm Springs visitors center, the Frey house above the Palm Springs Desert Museum, and our house. It is all brick, with vaulted wood beamed ceilings and poured terrazo floors. Once you see our home you will want to come back again and again. We have several repeat visitors as a result.

The Owner purchased this house in 2004
Why The Owner chose Palm Springs

We bought this house because it is a wonderful example of 1950's mid century architecture. Plus the 3/4 acre property is spectactular!

What makes this house unique

QUIET PRIVACY! This property is fully walled in, with double and triple layers of hedges around the perimeter. We only have neighbors on one side, with unobstructed mountain views and total privacy. Along with our quiet location, the gardens, the creek, the citrus grove, and the pool really make this a relaxing place. The house is really awesome too!

Awesome!

Submitted: May 31, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
We wanted to find a place for our family to gather that would have enough room,a pool, and private surroundings. This house was perfect! We were only minutes from downtown and felt completely secluded in the beautiful backyard. The home and grounds were immaculate and suitable for us and our young children. We definitely will be recomming this home to friends and relatives!

The restaurants and entertainment downtown were AWESOME! Our favorite spot was the Blue Coyote. We visited the living desert, only 15 miles from the house- kids loved feeding the giraffes! On Thursday night we gathered downtown for the local street festival, awesome entertainment, food, and art!

Thanks Bob for sharing you're home with our family!

Fabulous mountain views, enormous pool, lots of space and privacy, great Palm Springs location.

My husband and I stayed a month, mid-March to mid-April 2013. We had family guests for two of the weeks (ages 9 to 69) and the house easily accommodated 6. At our request, the office was made up in advance with a queen bed. The location was good for easy access to downtown, groceries, restaurants, pharmacy and several key points of interest. The neighborhood is among the best in Palm Springs.

We absolutely loved the pool, the mountain views, the spaciousness of the property and house, and the proximity to downtown Palm Springs. That said, there were attributes that didn't live up to the photos on the property listing. The photos were taken a few years ago and the owners have not stayed there for some time. We were pleased to learn that the owners are planning to refurbish the landscape and make repairs inside the house. (We sent a list of what we thought needed attention for their consideration.) Assuming improvements are made, we'd definitely like to stay there again in the future and would recommend it to friends and family.

Working with the owner via e-mail and phone was a cinch. And, most important, the property manager in Palm Springs, Scott, was on top of everything at a moments notice. That's a big plus!

Owner's Response: Thank you for the review. Dave andIi will be at the property mid May with a landscape crew for all the trimming. We are also painting the kitchen and hallway, plus any other maintenance items that need to be done. We are very conscious about keeping the house in great shape, and appreciate the comments. Scott, our person who takes care of the house is great about responding to any problems and greeting guests. Thank you

Another Stay in Paradise

Submitted: March 12, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We had another great week at Bob's house.Everything was as nice as in my last review. The pool heat was well worth it. Although the outside temps were nice it sure was great to walk into 87-88 degree water. Really do not know how anyone can find anything wrong. Had fresh fruit off the trees everyday. Never had an orange that sweet and juicy. Thank you Bob for the great place to stay and thank you Scott for the attentiveness and getting the fruit down from the top of the tree. We hopefully will be back next spring if not sooner.

Paradise

Submitted: October 12, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
I will start with the bad. We had to leave. Now on with the good. We could not have been happier. The house was fantastic. Well stocked with everything we needed. If we had a question Scott was right there to help out by phone or in person. As we sat in the lounge chairs by the pool trying to descibe the back yard the best we could come up with was paradise or edenesque, if thats a word. There isnt anything that was less than fantastic. Many excellant restaurants downtown. Azuls, Sammy G's, LuLu's , Cafe Jasmine and the Blue Coyote to name a few. Havent really found a bad one. We usually went for lunch because we grilled out our suppers. The Thursday night Villagefest is a good time. This is our 5th year coming to Palm Springs and we are pretty sure we found our 3/4 acre of heaven. Thanks Bob and Scott for providing it. Definitely would recommend. We cannot wait till our return trip in March.

Very private property with HUGE pool!

3 of 5
Submitted: October 4, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We recently stayed here for a week and really enjoyed the privacy of the backyard and pool area.
The pool is HUGE and 10 feet deep and has a diving board. There are some noodles and blow-up rafts for use in the pool as well.
Great mountain views from the backyard!

We were alittle disappointed that some of the pictures and descriptions of the property seem to be outdated. There are no 'outdoor' speakers for music anymore. This was a huge bummer for us as we planned to basically be out in the pool for the majority of our time there and had planned on the ourdoor music!!
Also there is no creek (water feature) which is mentioned and pictured in the listing. It does not look like this has worked for a long time!
The landscaping was not as well maintained as it appears in the pictures.

We still had a great time on our vacation. The pool was great and you cannot beat the privacy and size of the yard.

The house was large and clean with 2 bedrooms and an office and a nice large kitchen stocked with all the items you will need. The 2 car garage was nice to park our cars and store our bicycles.

Great cental location that was close to everything!

The weekly summer rental price was great and included the utilities.
The rental process was relatively smooth although I did not like giving a large deposit and not having a written rental agreement. I would not do this again in the future. It took 24 days to receive my deposit back (instead of the 10 days I was told at time of renting). Just be aware of this and you won't have to wonder if you are going to get your money back or not. It just might take longer than 10 days!

Owner's Response: Thanks for the review. Makes us pay attention to clients wishes. We have never not given back 100% of deposits. We return them in a timely manner. Sometimes it takes a few days to review the house, and the mail can play into it, especially with out of state and Canadian clients. The outside speakers became an issue when clients blasted them and neighbors complained. We will re think. The motor on the creek burned out. We need to dig it out of the ground and replace. We have a gardner and pool person come twice a week to maintain the property. Please talk to me directly with any concerns. Thanks, Bob
