Guest Access:
As our guests, you’ll enjoy full access to the entire property and all its amenities, ensuring a private and comfortable stay. From the inviting living spaces to the outdoor pool, hot tub, and cozy bedrooms, every part of our Palm Springs retreat is yours to enjoy.

Contactless, 24/7 Check-In:
For your convenience, we offer a completely contactless check-in experience. You’ll receive a unique front door code 2 days prior to arrival, allowing for secure, easy entry at any time—day or night.

Guest Portal:
Your guest portal puts everything you need in one place, including property details, local things to do, and helpful house instructions.

Management:
Our property is expertly managed by Rather Be Properties, and we’re committed to making your stay enjoyable and seamless. Our team is available daily from 9 AM to 9 PM to assist with any questions or requests. You can easily reach us through the Vrbo app, by phone, or email. For any urgent issues after hours, we also offer a 24-hour emergency line, ensuring support at any time during your stay.

Family-Friendly:
As parents of young children, we know traveling with little ones can be challenging. To make your stay easier, we provide a Pack ’n Play with crib sheets, along with children’s cups, plates, bowls, and utensils. You’ll also find books, games, and puzzles for the whole family to enjoy.

Pet-Friendly (One Dog Only):
We welcome one dog up to 60 lbs with a $150 pet fee per stay, which helps cover additional cleaning. Any waste beyond normal shedding (including urine or feces) will result in an additional $200 cleaning fee. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pet, and dogs may not be left unattended in the home, as barking can disturb neighbors. Dogs are not allowed in the pool. Please let us know in advance if you’ll be traveling with a dog.

Hot Tub:
The hot tub is included in your nightly rate and can be easily activated using the backyard controls. Please allow up to 2 hours to reach 100–102°F, depending on outdoor temperature. If you’d like it warmed up before arrival, just message us—we’re happy to turn it on for you. Please note: the spa jets do not function.

Pool Heating:
Pool heating is available for an additional $125 per day (plus tax) due to high natural gas usage. If requested, this fee will be billed prior to arrival.

Scheduled Maintenance:
For your convenience, routine services may occur during your stay:
• Pool service: Tuesday & Friday mornings
• Landscaping: Monday mornings
• Walk-up trash service: Thursday mornings
These services are brief and should not disturb your stay.

Desert Living:
As is common in Palm Springs, desert winds may occasionally blow sand into the pool. Our pool technicians do their best to remove it, though a small amount may remain between cleanings.

Noise Notice:
The home is located near the airport, so you may see and hear aircraft. Most guests find this more entertaining than disruptive, and the airport does observe a curfew.

Important Palm Springs Guest Requirement:
Per City of Palm Springs regulations (including Ordinance No. 2075), all guests must sign a Rules & Regulations document prior to arrival, and we are required to collect a valid driver’s license from at least one guest for identification. While we understand this may feel intrusive, compliance is mandatory under city law. Failure to enforce these rules could result in the suspension of our rental permit. We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us remain compliant and continue hosting responsibly.

Cute private and convenient stay

We found ourselves on a road trip from phoenix to Las Angeles and back to Palm Springs after adopting a dog. We needed a comfortable place with a nice, enclosed yard that would accommodate our two senior wieners and the new addition and our hosts were helpful and easy to work with. We even enjoyed the hot tub! The location was perfect and we had a quick jaunt through the city before heading back. Definitely recommended.

Fun Stay in Palm Springs

Our friend group had a great stay at this nicely updated & decorated home, clean, comfortable space, and very comfortable beds. It is a convenient location near Palm Springs, desert hikes, and a grocery store, quiet neighborhood (except for planes flying over- price you pay being close to airport- and it was neat seeing the vintage planes). The backyard space is a really fun hangout. Elissa was an amazing host, extremely kind & easy to communicate with, and quickly resolved a few minor issues we had. Checking in & out was a breeze. Joshua Tree National Park is cool to visit, then stop at The Tiny Pony Tavern for delicious burgers. Also loved the date shakes and fresh citrus trees. We all enjoyed our stay here.

Great weekend getaway home

Great getaway home. My wife stayed her for my birthday. The house was true to the photos online. There was an issue with the power when we first arrived but Elissa handled it right away. Our puppy loved the place too, but be aware the astroturf gets very hot so keep them off or get them some booties. 19/19 would drag again .
