Desi's Desert Pad: Martinis by the Pool or a Romantic Getaway

We really enjoyed the house during our stay in Palm Springs. The house had a very nice open layout with a remodeled kitchen. The pool and hot tub were fantastic. The landscaping was very well done. There is a very nice outdoor covered seating area on the side of the house where we ate many of our meals. Tony (the property owner) and Frank (property manager) were super responsive and really made sure visit went well. I highly recommend the property!

We have been travelling to Palm Springs for the past five years to get a break from the cold winters in Winnipeg, MB. This was our first stay at this property and we loved it. The three weeks just flew by. We had a full house for 11 nights (6 adults) and found the space was sufficient to comfortably accommodate us all. Coming from a cold climate we tend to spend most of our time outdoors enjoying the warmth. Throughout the day the pool area offers a spot for sun-lovers as well as those preferring shad.The property is clean, well-maintained and comfortably furnished. We enjoy entertaining and found the setup most appropriate to do so. Dealing with the owners is always a pleasure, as is the property manager. Any time we had a question or concern the property manager was quick to respond. Each year we try new activities, restaurants and attractions. Palm Springs and area offers something for a variety of interests and ages. We will be coming back as there are still many things to do and places to see. And, if you don't wish to do anything, you can't beat the weather. Thanks for making our stay so comfortable. Loved everything about the property. Looking forward to our stay in 2012!!!

We stayed here for a week over Thanksgiving this year & it was the perfect place for a relaxing family holiday. My husband, 2 year old son and I and our two guests stayed in Harriet's Hideaway, which suited our needs perfectly. It's a very comfortable and kid-friendly house with everything we needed for our stay including all the necessaries for making a Thanksgiving dinner for 13 people, with 3 of us cooking at once. The layout of the house was great for hanging out together in the evenings after our son was asleep (we appreciated the white noise machines that were already there!), and we loved that there is a grassy yard in the back separate from the pool in the front yard, so we didn't have to worry about his safety.

My parents and siblings stayed next door at Desi's, which they loved too. It's beautifully done inside and has all the comforts of home as well, not to mention the fabulous climate-friendly landscaping and the gorgeous pool and hot tub in the backyard. It really is a getaway!

The houses are located a few minutes drive from the main streets of downtown Palm Springs, and convenient to plenty of good grocery stores and restaurants. There is a park a few blocks away which was a bonus for us with a young child. We also enjoyed taking him to the Living Desert, on the tram up Mt. San Jacinto, and to other local attractions like Boomers and My Gym, as well as spending time swimming and relaxing at the houses.

It really was an ideal setup for us because we could go back and forth between the two houses as needed but all had our own space. The owner of the property and the property manager were very pleasant to work with as well. We would definitely recommend this place to others, and consider staying here again on our next visit.
