We decided to not wait until something happened to get the family together and we thought a VRBO for the 12 of us and one dog would be lovely. We planned all of 2023 to meet in Palm Desert and flew in from CO, OH and the CA bunch drove to the location.
We needed many bedrooms and this location was perfect, including the casita for my brother in law and his pooch.
From the moment everyone arrived, we used the pool and hot tub, fire pit and outdoor areas. The kids (23, 21x2, 20, and 16) loved the layout and of course the pool, hot tub and game room.
The adults (ages withheld ;-) enjoyed being together and having places to go for quiet time or a nap. The kitchen was perfect with the exception of a missing wheel on the dishwasher rack that made loading/unloading the machine challenging. Aside from that, we didn't want for anything.
When we arrived we made a note of items that needed attention and sent a note to the property team. They responded quickly and fixed a few items and took out the trash which was jammed from the previous renters.
Kevin was the technician and he was very attentive in fixing a broken chair, goofy electrical issue with the outdoor bar and tried to find a wheel for the dishwasher. We appreciated his diligence.
The only thing we could see that needed some attention was a spray paint on the outdoor stools as the bottom of the legs were rusty. This was cosmetic only.
The location was easy to get to and there were grocery stores within a 5 minute radius.
