1st time staying in the desert
The Condo was nice, the outdoor areas were great the pool was right outside my patio door. The only complaint that we had was the furniture needs to be updated it was very uncomfortable. Overall we had a great time the neighbors were really nice and the weather was perfect.

vacation with pets an family
Excellent location for pets. The property was close to dog walking trails. Street noise was not an issue. The pool is well heated . There was good communication with Manager if anything was missing. Kitchen is well equipped with full size fridge and you can pick grapefruits/lemons and oranges off the back patio. We love to cook and bake and found the kitchen was more than adequate for our needs. Furnishings are a bit eclectic. I think an extra couch in the living room would not be amiss.

Great location
Spa and small pool right in front. Very pet friendly, with a good walk along the wash only a 5 minute walk away. Less than 10 minute drive to Civic Center park, or the COD street fair, or The Living Desert. The tv (too small) and channels available could be improved. Quiet and friendly neighbourhood. We'd be happy to return.

Our family really enjoyed our stay here! Excellent palm desert location. The property was very clean and comfortable and had everything we could have needed for an extended stay. Owner was lovely and always responded promtly to any questions. A nice pool right outside our door kept our small kids busy for hours every day. Would definitely recommend staying here for a relaxing palm desert getaway.

Desert Flower During Covid
Condo was clean and extremely well stocked. Nice cold AC. Located in a mostly quiet complex. The complex was very well kept, and is located in a very nice area of Palm Desert. We enjoyed our walks around the complex and surrounding area.
There are several smaller pools and one larger community pool located in the complex. These pools were closed for most of our stay because of the pandemic. They did open about 3 weeks before we departed with restricted access that was gained by liability release form. There's easy access into this rental. Cover parking steps away. Mailbox steps away. In ground garbage recepticle just outside back of condo. Recycling bin was placed just outside of condo on pickup days. Nice comfortable bedding.
The condo was nicely decorated. The decore is geared toward a younger set. This condo is perfect for a younger family of 4. There is a small pool and spa just outside the back sliding glass door where parents can keep on eye on the kids from the living room. The 2nd bedroom has 2 twin beds on heavy frames. We intended to push them together since my spouse requires separate sleeping quarters and we were unable to do this however, she did manage to make do on a single bed. The condo has the most basic cable tv program. Not a big disappointment for us, but with the pandemic might be for other renters. Good wireless connection. Phone reception was a little bit dicey and usually not an issue, we have 2 separate carriers and occasionally the Verizon network would drop off.
Our stay here was used as a base while looking for a home in the valley. All and all, a pleasant stay in a nicely stocked condo located in a very nice area, with a very responsive owner. Would recommend to a family of 4 or less, or younger couple, or to a fitter older couple where eclectic modern furniture might not be an issue.

We just finished up a 2 month stay at Karen's condo in Palm Desert. It couldn't have been better. Well, it could but no fault of Karen or the condo and Karen was very agreeable and flexible when we had to change (postpone) our arrival. We use to live in Palm Desert so we were familiar with the location and proximity to everything in the valley. It was absolutely ideal for our needs!

Lovely unit in a nice complex. Fairly convenient location
The unit was very nice and very well equipped. Pool outside the patio door. Grapefruit trees with delicious fruit and a juicer in the kitchen. Complex very pretty with gorgeous vegetation. Location is fairly good in palm desert. Of course, there are significant distances between the desert cities. Convenient to supermarket shopping. Karen was very easy to deal with, responded to emails very well, and always enquired that we were doing well.

Great place to stay
We stayed here for 10 days with our 2 kids (3yrs and a baby). They had a blast and we enjoyed every minute. With the pool steps away, we had a lot of fun swimming and made grapefruit drinks from the grapefruit tree overhanging the back patio. The place was very clean and well stocked. Karen was easy to reach and responded to all questions quickly. Baby essentials are onsite and she even ordered a booster chair for our baby before we arrived. I’d highly recommend staying here and we hope to stay again soon.
