Guest Access:
As our guests, you`ll enjoy full access to the entire property and all its amenities, ensuring a private and luxurious experience. From the vibrant living spaces to the outdoor pool, hot tub, and putting green, every corner of our Palm Springs retreat is yours to explore and 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.

Pet-Friendly Accommodations:
We welcome one dog only (up to 60 lbs) for a fee of $150 per stay. This fee helps cover the additional cleaning required for pet hair. If any waste beyond hair (such as urine or feces) is found, an additional $200 cleaning fee will be charged. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pet, and dogs should not be left unattended in the home, as barking may disturb neighbors. Please note: Dogs are not allowed in the pool. Please let us know if you are traveling with a dog

Hot Tub:
The hot tub is included in your nightly rate and can be easily heated using the backyard controls. Please allow up to 2 hours for it to reach 100-102°F, depending on the outside temperature. If you’d like the hot tub warmed up before your arrival, feel free to message us in advance, and we’ll be happy to turn it on for you!

Pool heater:
The pool requires a lot of natural gas to heat, so using this will incur a daily fee of $125 (plus tax). This will be billed prior to your arrival if you request it. Please note: our pool cleaner comes only on Monday and Thursday mornings. He will access the property through the side gate and should not disturb you during your stay.

Desert living:
This home, like many in Palm Springs, is located in the desert where sand is common and can be carried by the wind. On windy days, the pool may catch some sand. Our pool cleaners always do their best to remove it, but in some cases, a small amount may remain in the pool.

Bachelorette Parties:
Given the design of our home, it is a popular choice for bachelorette celebrations. In collaboration with West Coast Bach, we provide enhanced services such as balloon arches, photo backdrops, marquee letters, bubbly/tequila bars, fridge stocking, charcuterie boards, and even cabana boy services. Our goal is to streamline your preparations and create a dreamy setup for your event. If you`re booking for a bachelorette party and require assistance with these services, please inform us upon booking!

Location:
Our home is located in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Tram View Heights, a community that reflects the evolving character of Palm Springs. The area is experiencing redevelopment and growth, adding to its vibrant and dynamic atmosphere. Like other parts of Palm Springs. Like many urban areas, you may notice a visible homeless population in the city, including downtown and surrounding regions. However, rest assured that the property offers a private, peaceful retreat, perfect for social gatherings without concerns about noise. While the neighborhood lacks many sidewalks, it’s ideal for those who prefer a more relaxed environment, though it may not be the best for long walks with dogs. The home is particularly suited for adults looking to enjoy the lively, diverse energy and the unique charm of Palm Springs. Please consider this when planning your stay, as it may not offer the conveniences typically sought for family visits.

Notice About Guest Requirements for Palm Springs Properties:
Please be aware that under the regulations of the City of Palm Springs — including Ordinance No. 2075 — all guests are required to sign a “Rules & Regulations” document prior to arrival. In addition, we must obtain a valid driver’s license from at least one guest for identification purposes.

If we fail to enforce these requirements, the City of Palm Springs has the authority to suspend our rental permit. We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us remain in good standing and continue hosting responsibly. Thank you for helping us stay compliant with local regulations!

Not great neighborhood

This house is in a low income neighborhood with abandoned houses - one right next door. Across the street the house has two big dogs that bark a lot, shades closed all the time, etc. A few people regularly walking around who looked like they could have been on something. I would NOT recommend coming here with kids. With that being said, we did not have any actual problems with neighbors and I don't think there is anything wrong with low income neighborhoods as long as you know what to expect. We were less comfortable being in the backyard - which looked lovely in the pictures - because of the neighborhood. We did eventually warm up to that. But don't count on playing the miniature golf - none of the holes actually line up with the ground. There were some floaties for the pool but they all had holes in them so deflated quickly. The place just does not feel loved. The pots and pans are awful. The knives do not cut anything other than things like bananas. And no one lives here so there are no extra things. For example, no salt and pepper (although we did buy some and leave ours so maybe it is there now). They do have some coffee and tea.The property manager was great. She was very responsive and pleasant to deal with when issues came up. When we arrived I did tell her that we felt uncomfortable in the neighborhood and asked if there were other options, but she said no and would not offer any refund. This does not feel like an "up and coming" neighborhood like it suggests.
