Perfect getaway
Walking distance to el paseo restaurants. Pool and hot tub lovely. Breakfast outside every day around fire pit that doubled as round cocktail table. Dinners outside on shaded patio. Good BBQ. House stocked with everything EVEN good knives. Fresh squeezed orange/ grapefruit juice everyday from trees in the backyard. Perfect.

Fantastic Desert Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Doug and Diane’s home in Palm Desert. It truly felt like a home away from home in that all the essentials required for our vacation were available. The pool was amazing. We loved having coffee on the patio in the morning and watching the hummingbirds. Communication in terms of booking and checkout were clear and simple. We would love to come again.

Palm Desert Perfection!
Tranquil Desert Oasis exceeded my expectations. My month stay flew by and everyone that came down to join me agreed. The house is the perfect size, everything is labeled, and it’s nicely appointed. The location is terrific. Diane and Doug are superior hosts. Call me a definite “repeat visitor” as I hope to be back in 2023.

Fantastic vacation property!
We returned this year for another fantastic stay at this home! The covered patio is great and the pool provided hours of entertainment. Doug and Diane are a pleasure to deal with and we hope to return next year.

A lovely review from recent guests: We loved this house. It is immaculately clean, comfortable furniture inside and out, beds are more comfortable than mine at home and a fully stocked kitchen. The location is perfectly centered in the valley. We loved walking in the neighborhoods and to El Paseo and hiking on the trails nearby. The best part by far was the big back yard with shade and fruit trees. Plenty of room to be in or out of the sun. It is such a tranquil, peaceful place to sit by the pool, read, visit with friends or have your meals. While we were there there were several strong wind storms that came through causing dust to blow everywhere. This house is in a very sheltered area so we had no dust and we’re hardly aware there was a wind storm going on. The only issue we had was the You Tube TV arrangement which was difficult to manage at times. Overall this is one of the best houses we have rented in the desert and we hope to come back.

This is a very lovely review by a wonderful guest:
"This place is exactly as advertised in the photos! Doug and Diane are very communicative hosts and check in/out were very easy. Also, unlike a lot of airbnbs, it feels like you are in an actual home- with a fully stocked cooking kitchen and plenty of linens. Definitely recommend.”

Another nice guest review:

“Pictures are accurate and the pool is good size. The pool and spa are very easy to turn on and off via a remote pad. The house is fully stocked with in the kitchen with all the utensils and cooking pots and pans one would need(including coffee beans grinder maker and other appliances, even chip bag clips! There were plenty of towels, soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner in both bathrooms. The place was clean and the owners were always very quick to respond to any questions. It's easy to understand why the home and it's owners are given 5 stars. My girlfriend and I had a lovely time.”

"This was our third stay and our first long-term rental. The property was immaculate as usual, check-in was a breeze, and everything was in working order with precise instructions for use (wonderful household binder!) Doug and Diane have left nothing to chance; the house, kitchen, pool, and outdoor space are fully stocked and maintained from pool toys, books, linens, and kitchen essentials! We paid an extra fee to heat the pool and it was perfection upon arrival...I highly recommend the added expense. Location is fantastic, I walked to El Paseo and hiking trails! It is an easy 15 minutes to most places by car. We look forward to our next stay."

I need to post more of our guests' wonderful reviews. Here's one we received today:

Quiet, relaxing, impeccably clean and well equipped
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
From day of inquiry for booking to refund of damage deposit, the owners were friendly, professional and responsive. The property is in a quiet neighborhood but near to shopping and a quick Uber/Lyft to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Lovely furnishings and well stocked for cooking...needed a pastry brush and there were 3!! Pantry was stocked with coffee, tea and basic spices. Parchment paper, foil and storage containers all there to make cooking and clean up easy. I appreciated the cleaning supplies that were present that helped us keep things tidy. The hot tub and fire pit were wonderful for evening relaxation. A bit too cool for the pool most days, but it was warm and pristine. Could not have asked for a better experience. Will be our first choice for a return visit. Thank you Doug and Diane for allowing us the privilege to stay in your wonderful home.
