Reviews

Great Stay
4/5 stars
Arrived at unit a day later than we booked , due to other commitments. Entry into the unit was as instructed and went well! The Unit seemed larger than I expected which was great! The living room and kitchen back onto rear patio and the golf course, and the most spectacular panoramic mountain views. :The patio has an excellent BBQ grill that was the cleanest of any rental I have ever stayed at and was of good quality! The unit is a bit of and older unit and could use some updating in a few areas , but everything was very clean and tidy !! The bedrooms and den are nicely furnished and the King bed in the master was a bit firm for me , but still comfortable! The kitchen is not the original kitchen and is a bit more modern with good utensils and cookware ! There is a Keurig coffee maker , but could have used a few pods left for us instead of the greeting bottle of wine that was at the Unit , which was a a nice touch ! Coffee in the morning is very important ! Washer and dryer in the garage were very ancient and there were new ones in the garage , but they were not hooked up yet ! There is a gas fireplace which we used regularly due to the cold Palm nights , and the central heating also worked well with 2 thermostat zones! It did get hot during the day while there, and the air conditioner also worked very well! We felt very at home here and had an excellent stay . I would not hesitate to rent it for a month stay again given the opportunity! M Kowalchuk

Perfect Location with Exceptional view
5/5 stars
The Condo was exactly as pictured online, only the view was so much better. We arrived and everything was clean & neat. All we had to do was add the groceries. It was when we arose the next morning that the view over the Monterey Country Clubs second fairway was so stunning, the mountains were covered in snow almost down to the desert floor. We’re already planning our return.

Comfortable, warm and spacious
5/5 stars
My family stayed at this lovely home for a much needed getaway. All of the arrangements with the owner and property manager were handled seamlessly. Upon arrival, the home was very clean and well appointed. There are two bedrooms with very comfortable beds with a separate bathroom for each bedroom. There is also a family room with a large television, pull-out couch and it's own full bathroom. The family room/extra bedroom was a highlight for our children, as they were able to hang out in there on their own, have their own television to watch, sleep in there if they wanted, and even have their own bathroom to use if they wanted. There is also a separate living room with its own TV to which the kitchen opens up, which was a great set up for us as we cooked quite a few meals. The kitchen and living room look out to the lovely mountains and the home's patio has plenty of seating to enjoy dinner or morning coffee outside. The kitchen is well stocked with all the essentials - plenty of dishes, utensils, pots and pans. This is a lovely property for families as the gated community is primarily flat and perfect for bike riding and running, if that floats your boat. We brought our bicycles and were able to ride around the neighborhood everyday. There are also plenty of pools around the neighborhood, two of which are very close to the home, so swimming and hot tub soaking is a convenient option. The home is also in a great location to so many family friendly activities, including the Living Desert, Children's Museum, and Get Air (indoor trampoline park). It is also within minutes of El Paseo and The River for great shopping and dining options. If you are looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and generally wonderful getaway, this is the home for you!

Wonderful condo!
5/5 stars
This is the second time we have stayed in this condo for the month of February and we have already booked it again for next year. We love it! The location in the Monterey Country Club can't be beat. It is close to everything, including great shopping, the College of the Desert, El Paseo, and lots of restaurants. The condo itself is very spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. The mountain view from the west facing patio is amazing. The rental process was smooth and easy. Nicole, the owner of the management company is wonderful to work with.

Fantastic Winter Getaway
5/5 stars
The home was as advertised and then some, all of our needs were taken care of. Nicole from Palm Desert Vacation Properties was VERY helpful. The views of the mountains were very breathtaking, access to both downtown Palm Desert & Palm Springs was very easy. We would recommend Nicole and this property to anyone.

Disappointed
2/5 stars
Little disappointed. The unit was listed as a 3 bedroom unit and there were only 2 bedrooms. There was another family room with a pull out bed. Also, the refrigerator leaked water and would not dispense ice. The outdoor area was nice put the area need to be cleaned, the tile area was really dirty.
- Randy

I'm sad to see that you weren't able to correct the rating as you mentioned you did click on the wrong star rating in an email to me. To clarify the 3rd bedroom/den, the property description on the listing site reads as follows: The large den with sleeper sofa has a large HDTV for family gathering or for the extra guests. The Den has an En Suite bath complete with Jacuzzi tub. Regarding the ice maker, I was at the home the day after you had left and it was working after I cleared out a small cluster of cubes in the dispensing area. When we spoke during your stay and I didn't hear back, I had assumed it was working just fine. I would have thought/hoped you'd call me back if it hadn't started working within the day. I'll be sure to follow up more frequently next time. Also, when I was at the home the refrigerator was not leaking any water. Regarding the patio, Denise swept it off the morning of your arrival. Please understand, that in the desert, it is very dusty outside, and it can accumulate quickly. Lastly, when Denise had asked for a review from a guest of your party, she received the following reply: "Will do. You have been great to work with and really appreciate everything." "Headed to the airport. Great week. Very nice condo." I apologize for any minor inconveniences you experienced, but I feel this 2 star review is not warranted, and I hope you're able to edit the review rating as you said you'd like to.

Desert Retreat
5/5 stars
We stayed at this condo for four nights over the July 4th holiday. While the temperatures soared, the condo was a cool, quiet refuge during the midday. In the evenings the west patio is a perfect spot to watch the twilight fade into the starry night. There is very little more relaxing than to enjoy drinks while the desert air cools and the birds and bats come out to play. You have a choice of a handful of nearby swimming pools and the golf course is just outside the door (and easy to get a tee time in the summer!). There is easy access to shopping (TJs), movies and the fun and hip downtown of Palm Springs. We've stayed in many rental condos and found that this one was among the best with its well stocked and equipped kitchen, comfortable living areas and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. You can even use the garage to get your car out of the sun (very important in Palm Desert in the summer). This place is great for an easy and comfortable stay.

Awesome Condo With Outstanding Views
5/5 stars
Our favourite thing about this condo was the gorgeous mountain views. We enjoyed many hours on the large west-facing patio. This condo was spacious, comfortable, and very well equipped. There were 3 flat screen TVs and the large one in the den has Netflix. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals including great appliances, and lots of nice cookware, dishes, glasses, and cutlery. Both beds were very comfortable. There were lots of high quality towels, and an abundance of shampoo, conditioner, lotions, and body wash. We stayed for a month and did not have to purchase any toilet tissue, Kleenex, paper towels, laundry soap or dishwasher detergent. There was an adequate supply of all these. We love the Monterey Country Club. You can't beat the location. The property managers were WONDERFUL to work with. They immediately responded to our questions. They went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay at this condo. I highly recommend itrip vacations. We have already booked this condo for a visit next year.
