Thank you for the 5 stars, Thanh!

A decent place

★★★★☆ 4 of 5

The location is terrific and neighborhood quiet and relaxing. The property is overall decent: Plenty of space for larger groups, comfortable living room, updated kitchens and lots of outdoor seating. Could use a little TLC in some areas like bathrooms, bedding and A/C. A solid, dependable place if you don't need too much luxury.

A Great Central Location

★★★★★ 5 of 5

The Clever Cactus has a great central location in Palm Springs and was very comfortable for our extended family (grandparents, son and his family.) We liked the size of the pool and swam everyday.

★★★★★ 5 of 5

We really enjoyed this property. It is immaculately clean, very well appointed, and a great location. We walked to the Bontanic Garden and to the South Lykken Trail head. Everything you need is in the house and the property management company is first class. Thank you!

Thoughtful decor, some hiccups

★★★★☆ 4 of 5

Overall Comment Decor is thoughtful and good quality throughout. Kitchen nicely appointed with amble glassware. A couple hiccups (front gate fell apart at arrival, bed frame broke after installation was not correct), but rental company was quick to respond. The house infrastructure is a bit old, so HVAC is loud and inconsistent. Outside paint needs an update on patio. Washing machine has mildew odor so didn’t use. Front gate should be automated rather than needing a person to open and close manually. Despite property description, it is not walkable to downtown. Requires walk along busy road which includes a large construction site. Didn’t think it was safe to walk to area at night.

The house was perfect for our needs and gave everyone plenty of space. The kids loved it, too. It has a comfortable and stylish feel to it, with great original features like the stone floor in the main living area. The kitchen is well equipped, the pool heated and the neighborhood is quiet. We liked it so much that we stayed an extra day.

Great house!

★★★★★ 5 of 5

Great house! Perfect for a group because there are two separate sections that make it easy to spend time together or apart. Both kitchens are fully stocked. You are a short Lyft ride to all the bars and restaurants. The backyard is amazing. Bring a pool float and plan on relaxing. There is a sound ordinance so you cant be loud or play music. Just pour yourself a drink and enjoy the awesome view. The host is super helpful. They made check in and out a breeze. Someone came by and showed us how to work all the electronics. They were also really responsive when we needed assistance even though it was a holiday weekend. Would definitely recommend and would stay again
