Movie Colony East - walking distance to town, casino, and convention center!

We stayed at this great home for three days over Memorial Day weekend and it was fabulous. Great neighborhood, great home, great pool. The VRBO listing and photos accurately reflect the home. It was spotless, well-appointed and had a wonderful interior look and feel. It's in a quiet neighborhood and the pool area is very private. It's within walking distance of central Palm Springs (although probably not in the summer heat) and close to the very large Ruth Hardy Park. It's also close enough to the other desert cities and only about 30-40 minutes from either entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. We'd definitely go back and recommend Alta Amigo.

Stayed at Amigo right before the Thanksgiving holiday. The place is very charming and comfortable – let’s just say the décor through out the place was impeccable – you can tell James the owner took a lot of time collecting to add such fun detail to the house. The location - it was convenient to downtown and all that it has to offer. The amenities: the kitchen was beautiful – has everything you could ever need to entertain; there is a really nice bathroom off the pool area with a shower – very handy so you don’t have to go walking through the house all wet; the full bath beautifully decorated; didn’t use the living area much but it was very festive; nice dining table and nice sitting area that over looks the pool. The main bedroom had a sliding glass door that went right out to the pool area and the second bedroom had a sliding glass door off to a little sitting area.

I can’t say enough about James the owner. The pool – well James disclosed the first day that the heater broke – I appreciated that he told me before I got there and offered to get us day passes at the Riviera until it was fixed. He jumped through many hoops to get it fixed as fast as possible and we were swimming comfortably the next day. He spoiled us. Brought us fresh lemons and oranges, told us about great restaurants, when I told him I brought the wrong camera charger, he leant me his old camera then went to the store and bought me a charger! I would rent Amigo and from James again in a heartbeat. Loved it!

I hesitate to write this review because we love this house so much and hope to be renting it frequently in the future. It was just perfect for us and our pets for 2 months. James is fantastic. Loved the fact that it was so close to town, close to good golf, hiking, etc. Just a wonderful overall experience. We'll be back!
