The perfect desert oasis!
Our first experience with VBRO couldn't have gone better. The property owner, Kerry, was fantastic to deal with, patiently answering all of our questions. I would absolutely recommend this property to friends and family and we certainly hope to return.
The house couldn't have been better, beautifully decorated, clean and well equipped. We were two families travelling together and the layout of the house was ideal. The grandparents had the master suite on the main floor and we had the two bedrooms and den upstairs. We could have some time to relax on our own in the upstairs den, but also ensured our young children didn't disturb anyone when they woke in the night / alternatively it also meant they were undisturbed during naps while the adults were downstairs. The Spanish Walk community is fantastic,the grounds are beautifully landscaped and very well maintained. The pools and fitness centre are excellent and not very busy and two playgrounds that would meet the needs of most children all within a couple of blocks of the house.
We loved our trip to the Living Desert, lunch at Shields date farm, the evening market in downtown Palm Springs and the Saturday market in Palm Desert. When you arrive Kerry has a binder that is full of restaurant menus, attractions etc. that will give you lots of great ideas. The only downside is that we didn't discover much within walking distance and I felt we were driving a lot, although never very far. I suspect this was amplified by the two kids in car seats, the grandparents travelling with us didn't seem to mind as they zipped in and out on some of their own adventures.
One thing to note, if you are travelling with small children a baby monitor is recommended. The house is such that you really can't hear a crying baby from the main floor and a monitor will give you peace of mind and freedom to relax and enjoy the fabulous patio.

Owner's Response: Kendra, Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so glad you found the house to your liking. I received a personal email from your mother too, it sounds like they had a wonderful time as well. She included pictures of the grandkids on the patio and at the playground. We look forward to having you back! You took such good care of our house during your stay. We really appreciated it!
