First of all, what an enormous and beautiful condo!
We were astounded by its size and unique, three floor layout. I stayed there with my husband and one other couple and there was an unbelievable amount of room- in fact, there was a whole extra bedroom (and bathroom) left-over! The cool thing about this condo, in addition to having 3 floor levels, there are so many intimate nooks and crannies throughout the place to hide out in and isolate from the crowd – perfect for “me-time,” reading, or just having a private conversation. Some examples are: the front entry portico (ideal for reading) the “office with the mountain view” located on the 3rd floor, the back patio with the romantic fire pit, the middle floor balcony with the high top table and space heater that overlooks the stunning purple mountain views over the swaying palm tress. It was nice to be able to escape and zen out in these areas, but the large comfy living room with the fireplace, spacious high cathedral ceilings, and HUGE dining table off the kitchen were ideal for group interaction and relaxing family time, too. There is plenty of dining space for up to 8 people, a HUGE kitchen stocked with EVERYTHING you could ever need to make every meal, beautiful views, huge bedrooms (all with their own bathroom), an office, washer and dryer, BAR, yes BAR, complete with espresso machine and wine fridge. All this, and we were only a few minutes from downtown!
The pool and whirlpool were large, clean and well kept and literally steps away from the condo. Super-easy check in and check out with the owners, who are always available, helpful and friendly, if we needed anything. Besides being spotlessly clean and immaculate, there is so much detail, care and humor sprinkled throughout the home in the form of Art and decor. It truly says something when you walk into a bathroom or living room and the artwork makes you smile (you will need to visit to find out what I’m talking about).
Also, I have to mention, this was the BEST sleep I ever had on a vacation ever — thanks to some very comfy mattresses! And talk about quiet?!?! A far cry from Los Angeles and San Francisco where I do a lot of my work. I cannot wait to return. We only stayed a few days, but we are hoping to spend at least a week next time so we can spend more time in Palm Springs awesome downtown and take full advantage of all the amazing amenities.
