Summary: The San Jacinto Cottage is an absolutely stunning property! The backyard is exquisite with a gorgeous pool that we spent the entire day and evening in. The house is well stocked and the beautifully curated interior decor makes the home feel so comfortable and welcoming. The bedrooms are beautiful and the beds are comfortable. A friends reunion brought our group together and we absolutely loved our stay here and would come back again! The owner Steve is so responsive and was delightful. He provided recommendations for places of interest and overall provided such a phenomenal experience. The location can’t be beat as it’s walkable to downtown Palm Springs and close to all the shops.

Summary: The location of this gorgeous home is perfect. Just a couple streets from downtown. Just far enough that you are surrounded by gorgeous residential homes and yet only a few minutes from the main strip.The pool is amazing, it's so big and pretty! Remember to ask the host for heating if wanted. It is an extra cost and is turned on remotely. We were there in April so needed the pool heating. Perhaps in the hotter months it's unnecessary. I like to be able to get up out of bed and walk straight in to the pool. The pool is a lovely private setting with surrounding lawn, large enough to do yoga, my kids played catch, it's a decent size surround. So peaceful and relaxing and private. The birds chirping in the morning really made my stay.Cleanliness was mostly good, the ensuite bathroom shower could have been better. On any matters that I needed to message or call the host about, like the heating, he was very responsive and helpful immediately.I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I love the house, it has many gorgeous old style palm springs touches and it was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Summary: We so enjoyed our visit in this beautiful home and it’s so close to downtown Palm Springs. We were able to walk to many restaurants and activities. The house is so uniquely decorated, the backyard is very private with a wonderful pool, and a view of the mountains through the palm trees. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the eight of us had plenty of room in the living areas and in the bedrooms.Thank you Steve for a great stay and for being so responsive!

Summary: We loved the property and layout of the house. The only complaint was that many of the outlets did not work.It would have been nice if you mentioned that there are many floating devices in the garage. We wouldn’t have brought our own.We had a very enjoyable stay.
