Where to begin? First, Nikki. She’s not just a host — she’s the standard. Clear communication, fast responses, and a professional yet genuinely caring presence. Hands-on when you need her, invisible when you don’t. Excellence embodied. The home. A true sanctuary. From design to details, every corner speaks luxury and intentionality. Modern, spotless, and stocked with everything — pots, pans, even a rice cooker. Clear instructions for every feature. Blackout curtains for privacy. A long gated driveway. Tucked away in a friendly community yet feels completely your own. It’s more than a stay — it’s an experience. One that blends comfort, privacy, and luxury in a way that’s rare to find. We walked away refreshed, grateful, and inspired. 1 10/10. Highly recommend. Thank you, Nikki 🙏🏽

I stayed here while my home in LA was being shown for sale. It was the perfect place to simply stop, relax, swim and enjoy the warm wind and sunshine of Palm Springs. The pool is made for floaties and the hot tub at night is the perfect spot for enjoying the nighttime sky. The cactus garden is beautifully maintained and everything about this outdoor space is conducive for relaxing. The house is spacious, excellently appointed and the kitchen provides everything you could need to whip up a feast. There are two fire pits, one that overlooks the mountains. I can’t say enough about this house, it was built to please. Nikki, was great, quick to respond and thoughtful. I would recommend and return to this place in a heartbeat.

We had such a wonderful experience during our stay at this Airbnb in Palm Springs! If you're searching for a clean, stylish, and tranquil retreat, you won't find a better spot. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend!

Located in a quiet cul-de-sac, this mid-century modern remodel was the perfect getaway for a friend and me. Nikki was extremely responsive and friendly throughout our stay. The home has everything you could need—from All-Clad pots and pans, fluffy and absorbent towels, to Solano blow dryers (with the nozzle attached!). It's thoughtfully designed to embrace indoor-outdoor Palm Springs living at its finest. The two-bedroom layout makes it ideal for small families, and the AC kept everything at a comfortable 76 degrees. Nikki has also put a lot of care into the yard. We loved starting each morning in the jacuzzi and enjoying the pool surrounded by desert flowers, then working under the shade of a lime tree. A huge plus was being able to bring our pets—they loved lounging poolside as much as we did. This home is in a noise-controlled neighborhood, so it’s not suited for the Stagecoach crowd—but it’s perfect for anyone looking for a peaceful escape to the desert. I’ll be back 😊

For the moment we saw it off the curb until we left with regret that We didn’t have more time to stay, This wonderful place was enchanting. The backyard is completely secluded and private. The fire pits are amazing. The landscape was very comfortable of the house and layout was just perfect. It was more than we could have asked for our little get away to the Stagecoach festival. It made the dust in the wind of stagecoach almost erased.
