West Elm House 1 - The Alexander - Fabulous Pool Yard!

This was our Christmas gift to our son, daughter in-law and perfectly perfect new 3 month old granddaughter. Of course the caveat, mom, dad and little old man Chunky Monkey were along for the ride. The booking experience was excellent. Laura was most helpful via both email and phone. We arranged for an early check in, pool heat along with the addition of our four legged 13 year old Chunky with ease. The only thing Laura couldn't provide was a guarantee of no rain (think So Cal Atmospheric River storms). The rain came but we were in paradise so no biggie! The pictures accurately depict this incredible home. It is absolutely beautiful inside and and outside. Everything you could possible need is stocked in the home. Clean, extremely comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms. The attention to every little detail was wonderful. Upon arriving for our early check in, we noticed the pool was chilly. I immediately texted Acme and within 5 minutes Simon responded and said he would check the temperature and get back to me with info. Well, not even half hour later Simon replied and agreed the temp was not what it should be and explained how the heating works ect. Since we had an early check in we decided to go to lunch and stock up the fridge. Upon our return the pool was definitely warmer and we enjoyed the afternoon in the amazing yard. Yesterday, nearly a month after our stay Simon texted to ask if we left an Air Tag at the property thinking it was our dogs tag. I...

Pictures don’t do this place justice. This was the cleanest, nicest AIRBNB we’ve stayed at in Palm Springs. There was no clutter. All the amenities you can dream of, so many cool fire pits, a lemon tree and a hammock. What a dream. The ambiance was so light and positive. Definitely coming back!

Birthday Trip to the desert was amazing! This house was beautiful from the inside to the outside. Every detail well done. The house was stocked with everything you could need. We had a chef one night, and he said it was the best sticker Airbnb kitchen he’s used. The binder full of instructions were clear, and made everything easy to understand and find. The pool and hot spa felt amazing. Spa is huge. The outdoor shower and bathtub were a big hit. Super private house. Perfect girls trip or couples trips. Communication with host was top tier. Day of check out, needed a little longer to leave and ACME responded favorably. I cannot wait to come back.

Great weekend! The house was very well stocked and instructions were clear and easily accessible. I wouldn't have changed a thing. Lots of outdoor places to sit, hang out, eat or lay in the sun. Three outdoor showers and a bathtub took it to the next level. Acme was very proactive with texts and emails. They even referred a mobile massage company that was wonderful. All of us that stayed there are planning to return!!

West Elm House was a perfect place for us to be together as a family for Christmas! There were 5 of us; there was plenty of room for everyone to be together in one place comfortably and also many different areas inside and out for people to 'get away'. The kitchen had everything we could have wanted - which was important to us - since we would be eating 2 different holiday meals there. It was perfect!

Our family of four spent a wonderful five days and nights at the West Elm House: Alexander. It was like having our own resort. The pictures of the house were great and had our hopes up, but arriving in person it was even better that we expected. Inside and out. The house was great. Also, ACME, the property manager, was great. There was an item missing in the kitchen which they had delivered within a few hours. They checked in repeatedly too to see if we needed everything. We would definitely go back and would definitely recommend the West Elm House: Alexander.

Overall Comment Upon arrival the house was spotless, the air conditioner had been turned on(the house was a cool 74°) the house was well-equipped and comfortable. The location was perfect, wonderful restaurants within walking distance. The management company provided excellent service. When we arrived I had noticed a little debris in the swimming pool from the night before, I made one phone call and left a message, they had a pool cleaning service out to clean the pool by the end of the day. They cleaned the pool on the daily basis. Our activities consisted of, lying in the pool, eating, playing Rummy cube and just having a wonderful time. The neighborhood was very quiet and that was very appreciated. I would recommend this house to anyone that wants to relax and have a great time.

We had the best stay at the West Elm house! The home is absolutely beautiful and super clean. Beds are very comfy and the backyard is perfection! We loved how the pool had a nice shallow pad which was perfect for our kids, age 2 and 5. The pool area is shaded around 3pm, which was nice, even though it was only in the mid 80s during our stay. The flowering plants near the pool smelled wonderful which was a nice surprise. It was all just so dreamy and wonderful that my husband and I decided we would most definitely want to stay here again in the fall. We didn’t want to leave!

In the current pandemic environment, we set a goal of finding a house that, once we arrived, we wouldn't want to leave. The backyard (pool, putting green, bacci court, hammock and numerous seating/hangout areas) and overall layout of the home with separate patio areas for each bedroom exceeded this requirement. It was close to grocery stores and the downtown area for our quick runs out for take out and food supplies. We will definitely be back to this home whenever our travels take us back to Palm Springs.

Great home that was well equipped and well stocked by Acme. If you like west elm’s style, you should enjoy this house as it’s been designed by them and includes many of their furnishings. House has a good layout, with comfy beds and good patio space for all. The kitchen and living area aren’t large but have everything you need. Outdoor spaces were great and the generous size of the pool and hot tub were really nice. Would only recommend confirming pool temp prior to arrival as it was cold when we checked in and needed time to warm up. Overall a nice property and easy booking process - highly recommended!

Much needed family time and also celebrated my grandson’s birthday! Loved the enclosed front courtyard, so spacious. The floor to ceiling windows gave us perfect views of the surrounding mountains. Experienced night swimming when the temperature cooled down. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The FAVORITE feature was the outdoor showers for each room!!! Our first time visiting Palm Springs & booking a stay through ACME and certainly not the last. LOVE LOVE LOVE the decor!!!

We absolutely loved everything about our stay at the West Elm: Alexander House. Everything was spotless upon arrival. The property is located in a quiet residential street with minimal noise from neighbors. The yard is designed to get maximum morning and afternoon shade, meaning we could enjoy the yard in the middle of summer with adequate shade. From 3pm the pool is almost entirely shaded which made a big difference for the kids, especially in the peak of summer. The tanning shelf (shallow end) is large enough for younger kids to enjoy and the water feature was very popular. Note that the desert can be drying to kid's skin so bring plenty of moisturizer. Inside, the house has everything you need for cooking and relaxing. Upon arrival, there were four chilled margarita glasses in the freezer - a great touch. The outdoor ice machine was a huge hit for both adults and kids. We used the big outdoor dining table outside on the cooler evenings. If there was one thing we would add to the kitchen it would be an ice cream scoop :-) We had only a few minor issues during our stay, ie. the WiFi played up when we arrived but Acme were quick to remedy this for us. Ditto for some smaller issues such as running out of dish liquid. A bottle was promptly left at our front door. Overall, highly recommend this property and we would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks ACME!

All I wanted was a worry-free, relaxing and fun weekend away that only consisted of friends, good food, pool time and cocktails. This was a perfect place for that...such a great home and so many awesome areas to hang out that we didn't want to leave. You really need to stay for a week to take full advantage of all that this house has to offer. We were beyond thrilled with every aspect, from our first communications with Camille at Acme to the Concierge service and then everything the home had to offer. I obsessed over looking at 100's of houses and we were all SO happy that we chose The Alexander. We will definitely come back to his home and will definitely use Acme again!

The property is fantastic and just as lovely as the pictures. The pool pump went out during our stay and the management company quickly arranged a temp replacement and was wonderful to deal with. Our only complaint and I hate to call it that really was with the WiFi - it's set up more like a hotel where you must enter an email or link to social media to access it and for us a) did not connect most of the time and b) given the upscale nature of the rental was a bit frustrating not to have a private connection.

Overall Comment We couldn’t have been more pleased with renting this home and the service from Acme House Co.! Every inch of this home was exactly as pictured if not better. The design and decor are stunning. The outdoor spaces were so inviting and relaxing and the pool was fantastic! We spent the majority of our vacation outside in this backyard oasis! My only suggestion would be to have the dining table (or at least a second dining table) out back rather then in the front courtyard. We never used the table in the courtyard due to the sun and wind and it didn’t feel as private, not to mention the distance from the BBQ was a little impractical. Acme House Co. was fantastic! They were so easy to work with and responded immediately to any issues. They had every detail of our stay covered and even had a small gift waiting for us on our arrival! Thank you for making this a truly wonderful vacation!

ACME House Co. is by far the best property manager in Palm Springs. Your level of service, along with your selection of homes, is outstanding. The best part was the outstanding pool, where we spent most of our waking hours. Had it not been 110 in the shade we might have made better use of the fun outdoor games, and sports offered on the property. Being 3 minutes from the airport was nice. One small. but meaningful improvement could be made by beefing up the internet link to the livingroom TV. An excellent overall experience!

But the back yard was beyond description. Disco lights in the pool. Huge spa and a tanning deck with nifty air jets that doubled as a safe play space for the little ones.
