We had a fantastic time staying at your place for 2 weeks. The accommodations and location was perfect for all the activities we wanted to accomplish while on our vacation. Plus a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoor area in the hot tub and pool every day. Definitely would recommend this location. The host were very responsive to messages and were very helpful. Thank you.

Great house! Perfect for a nice family getaway. Weren’t notified until after the 3pm check in time that we could not check in for another 2 hours and were already almost to the property. However when we arrived the cleaning staff hurried as quickly as possible to get us in. Loved the house and the backyard. Would definitely stay here again!

Just about perfect

5 of 5

Exactly what a rental should be! Great house, beautifully furnished with everything you need. Super communicative and helpful management company. Wonderfully maintained pool and spa. Close to everything. And absolutely no checkout to-do list (other than lock the door behind you)! Other reviews talk about street noise - and there is some, but it was a complete non-issue for us. There’s also light in the bedrooms early, so if you’re a light sensitive sleeper, you may be up early.

Birthday Weekend!

5 of 5

Girls' weekend with my daughters and our besties! I looove the heat, so Palm Springs in July is perfect for me. The MCM was on point, everything was super clean, there was plenty of space for eight to play and six to sleep (following the rules!). The road is very loud with many firetrucks, but we were close to everything including the Best Bookstore, Pink Palm, thrift stores, groceries and great Mexican food. This house was spectacular and the pool was amazing. Already planning our next trip.

Beautiful and peaceful

5 of 5

The house is beautiful and the amenities were great. The area is very quiet and peaceful. There was a reviewer who mentioned the car noise from the busy street but the noise machines in the bedrooms are great at canceling it out. The pool accessories could use a refresh. Other than that our stay was perfect and ACME is great at responding with any questions. Definitely will stay here again!

Great house and amenities. Right on a busy road which was not ideal but each room was equipped with a white noise machine which helped. Kitchen was fully stocked and great for cooking meals. Pool and hot tub were perfect. Loved the decor, furnishings and overall ambiance.

Unbelievable Beauty and Peace in a Historic Home

I love ACME. Their service team are responsive and helpful. They are managing glorious mid Century Modern dreamboats with every mod con you'd need. The pool and jacuzzi were heated (it is winter!) and the kitchen was full of plates and glasses and cooking accoutrements. A guide was provided, updated, to tell you where to eat and drink. The bed was ultra comfortable! It was amazing, having two bathrooms! Not used to that at all. We came for the PS Film Festival, and I would def return and book an ACME home. Because these are not just houses. This place felt like home! We had a view of the mountains to die for, and could watch the tram make its way up the mountain at night. If I could ask for anything, it would have been perhaps some standing lights, so that you could sit, for example, on the sofa, and read a book, without having to use the overhead lights. But this is a small request. We loved our experience!

We loved staying in Palm Springs again and this was the perfect property for our family - only issue was the landscapers came on a different day and did a lot of work - this could have been better communicated / managed. Would stay here again :)

Best Place to Hide Out

5 of 5

We lost our home and needed a place to stay for over a week as our new home got ready. This mod house with a pool was a fantastic break in our frantic reality. It's very different from how we normally live, and we love that. We even learned a few things about midcentury modern architecture thanks to their well-chosen books in the house. And the pool was just right! Highly recommended.
