Recent Palm Desert vacation rental reviews

Loved the location of this home. Decor was clean, bright and uncluttered! Thank you! We will be back!
Linda G. | May 2025
Good condo that is exactly as you see in the pictures. We stayed for Stagecoach and it was a great time!
Chase B. | May 2025
We have rented Desert Breezes four times for our extended winter stay. Obviously our desire to return reflects our love for this property. The gated community is extremely well kept. The home is spacious and well comfortable and has everything we need to enjoy the private pool and backyard. The other rooms including the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms are well appointed and well stocked. We also enjoy the location that is close to the Tennis Center and a short drive to great hiking , El Paseo and Palm Springs.
