The house and yard are beautiful. We were attracted to the property because of the yard and ammenities. Knowing that we would need to work during our stay and recognizing how hot April in Palm Springs can be, the outdoor mister system was key in our search of properties. As was the indoor / outdoor sound system (we don't watch TV but we do listen to music). Neither of those systems were working. Furthermore, the alarm system is not functional and there is no safe to lock passports, jewlery, etc. up in. We contacted the owner about the sound system and his direction was to contact Joe, the caretaker, we let Andrew know that Joe was the one who noticed the sound system was not working at our arrival walk-through. There was no follow-up or response. The shower in the ensuite has a decent leak (the wall is actually separating), so to avoid doing further damage we used the secondary shower for most of our stay.
As for location, the neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. There are not any walkable amenities so if you're going for dinner or out, be prepared to drive.
All in all, the house is beautiful, it just needs some attention and repair. The issues are minor and should not deter you from renting, just be aware that not all of the advertised ammenities were functioning for our stay. Had these been functioning it would have been a 5*+ review.
As others have mentioned, Joe is phenomenal. Please contact Joe and not Grace, as she is Joe's wife who passed away last November. Her name and number are still listed on all of the documentation as a contact. The pool and groundskeepers also did an excellent job.
