The house was well organized - every kind of kitchen appliance - I loved that you had the basic spices to cook with - fun interior ! And I’m an interior designer :)
Great to have the pool heated. The spa was easy to turn on .
Nice garden -
The only negative is the upper windows in the bedrooms should have been washed - they look out on the hills .
We had a terrific time!
Such a cool house in a super quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely look to book this property again. It had everything we needed and we loved the decor and pool area.
We had a great time at the property. The house was very clean and had all the amenities. The pool and hot tub were well maintained and we enjoyed day and night swimming. The check in service and communication with the property managers was excellent. Will certainly recommend and stay again. Super quiet neighborhood and close to downtown / groceries.
Our company had an event in Palm Springs and we rented this house for our staff. We had a great time. Our staff mentioned that the house was actually nicer than the photos, which were already nice! Every part of the house was very clean and it was really appreciated. Thank you!
Perfect 5 days for the five of us. Our 3 teens were constantly out back on pool deck, pool or the hot tub. We hardly left and when did it was to get provisions at Ralph’s supermarket which is a 10 minute walk. Perfect.
This house is everything is seemed and more! Perfect location to DTPS with a corner lot and plenty of privacy. It is well appointed with every small detail oozing luxury. No corners were cut in remodel, decorations, or upkeep. Book it! We will be back.
We loved this property! The home had everything you could possibly need with some nice added touches like toiletries and delicious coffee that we enjoyed every morning by the pool! The area is super quiet and peaceful and great to walk around. The pool and hot tub were a dream and the backyard is so private and beautiful! Acme was so quick to respond to any questions and/or issues. So reliable and friendly! Thank you for a lovely vacation in this beautiful home and we cannot wait to come stay again soon!
PS Smile is a wonderful property. A pristine Krisel design / Alexander built. The house had everything you could want - kitchen was fully stocked with every cooking/baking accessory you could want. The pool and spa are beautiful and cleaned 2x a week. The maintain views are amazing - but be prepared to wake up early as the sun comes through the clerestory windows! The only downside was a slow drain in the kitchen which we let mgmt know about as we left. I would highly recommend this property.
Upon arriving entrance code was not working. Later on discovered that pool lights and smile sign by pool area were not working and the tv for master room was also not working. Had to call and had different techs come out the next two days of our stay which is a bit inconvenient while trying relax and enjoy family time. Didn’t get the full experience and and the first night was pretty much wasted.
Beautifully redone mid century in great neighborhood.
This house is stylish, comfortable. Well appointed, and has a lovely pool and yard. It’s very well equipped, and has a great kitchen as well. The yard / pool has a wonderful layout, including a bbq, outdoor entertaining area and fire pit. Twin Palms is a great and very central neighborhood. This was a five star property. Loved this home! Only downside is the arrival communication was somewhat scattered, with a “concierge” who met me at the property, offered to help with any concerns but knew absolutely nothing about the home or systems. It turned out the concierge’s function was mostly to explain the noise ordinance and get my signature on the city noise ordinance documents. This was a relatively minor problem, but the barrage of phone calls and texts from the office and concierge during my arrival was a bit off putting. (Four or five calls and texts in an hour.)
everything was great, the house has private parking, a private luxury pool (warmed and with night lights) and all amenities needed for a perfect vacation

We absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect, the style and decor was beyond amazing, and ACME rentals went above and beyond to make sure our time here was everything we hoped it would be. Thank you for a great trip!
Looks just like the photos. The kitchen was very well stocked and the appliances including the barbeque were all great quality.
The two bedrooms outside of the main house felt a little too far away from the main house for a children’s guest room. The noise restrictions imposed by Palm Springs was also a little stressful but overall the property was great.

I've rented with Acme House Co. before and was pleased with the high quality of the house and the company. They have the rental game down! Everything is seamless and every detail is thought of. The PS Smile house is special. The neighborhood is lovely, the house itself is beautiful and well decorated and provided a relaxing escape.

PS Smile is in a fantastic location in the Twin Palms neighborhood. This house is just minutes from downtown, walking distance to Koffi and Ralphs and close to all our favorite hiking trails. The Pool, Spa, Outdoor fire feature, Bbque and Backyard are perfection. the kitchen was conveniently labeled so you never had to search for anything and was fully stocked, which was very much appreciated as we cooked in most nights due to Covid! The house is adorably decorated, it truly makes you smile! The only bummer was the sandstorm that blew threw 3 nights before our departure which covered everything in the backyard in sand and dirt and made the pool and spa unusable for our last few days. Even Acme House can't control nature and they did finally get the spa working again for our last night.

Mid-century modern fans will appreciate this splendidly renovated example of a Wm. Krisel design in the Twin Palms subdivision, surrounded by other interesting 50s/60s houses. The location is not easily walkable to downtown, but a 5-10 minute drive, and otherwise right in the heart of things. At only 1600 sq ft, the house is not overly roomy, but makes excellent use of every sq ft. The kitchen and poolside are very nicely equipped. Just a couple quibbles -- it could use better lighting in the LR and master BR, and the panoramic=but-uncurtained master BR clerestory window means you won't be sleeping late.
The house is THE perfect Midcentury butterfly roof designed by iconic architect, William Krisel. It has been beautifully restored with everything needed for a wonderful stay: the kitchen is well stocked, the water is filtered, plenty of extra towels/bedding, excellent retro decor, two side rooms that would be perfect for energetic grandkids, etc.
The only minor compliant I have is the lack of communication. We called in a request as well as submitted it in writing through the app and heard nothing back.
House is lovely, well appointed and very family friendly.

This property exceeded expectation in every way! Extra kudos to your design team. We usually don’t book the same place twice, but we will definitely stay here again. Can’t wait to come back! Only one drawback - the second bathroom is very small to share with two bedrooms. Would you consider shelving for toiletries, hooks and/or bars for towels, and a fan for ventilation? Otherwise there were only continual compliments from those we invited to stay.
