"76358 Sweat Pea at Palm Valley Country Club was a fantastic place to spend Thanksgiving. The condo has been updated throughout - the kitchen was gorgeous and everything was top notch. Clean, comfortable, pretty and high quality. Directions and instructions were all perfect. We loved it and are very likely to tr to get this condo again if we return to Palm Springs. The only downside was that it seemed a little pricey." - Thanksgiving Family Reunion, Monterey, 11/29/2011 (FlipKey Review)
"This condo has everything - good TV channels, complete kitchen, close to pool, good walking area, close to shopping. we had a great time!" - Happy Camper, Port Angeles, WA, 11/29/2011 (FlipKey Review)
"We all loved the house and location, easy check-in, and the staff at security were friendly and helpful. We loved the close location of the pool, and the kids loved the tv dedicated to video games. Everything about our stay made us wish we could stay longer. It was a wonderful home, thank you so much for sharing it with us." - Tim, Farmingdale, Maine, 09/26/2011 (FlipKey Review) We would welcome you back any time and are happy to hear your family was able to make lasting memories and have good times at our Palm Desert vacation home. Thank you for taking the time to review and we'll share the compliments for Palm Valley Security with them.
"Palm Valley is a great vacation spot. It has all the amenities that anyone would want. We loved the condo, the workout facilities, the golf course and the grounds. They were manicured, clean and well maintained. Our condo was nicely furnished and equipped with a number of televisions, wifi and even a printer. It also had a game table and lots of games to pass your time. It was great! My only complaint is that 10 am check out seems a bit early. If it was 11 am or even noon, it would allow you time to work out, play golf or even go out for breakfast. I feel 11 am checkout does not allow you to do much of anything before you leave. We vacated the condo at noon and there was an additional $55 charge." - Valerie, Grosse Pointe Farms, MI, 08/18/2011 (FlipKey Review) I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at Palm Valley Country Club and at our vacation rental so much that you weren't ready to leave. I wish we could routinely do later checkouts, but we need the time to clean and maintain the condo as check in is at 3 PM. We do offer late checkouts, for a small fee, but we have to notify housekeeping in advance so they can adjust their staffing and schedule. Unfortunately, we had to pay the housekeepers for their time and for two trips to our condo. That said, next time you come, I'll provide an early check in or late check out for free.
"My family and I had such a great time. I wasn't sure what to expect or how much to pack. But I must say that they think of everything! That significantly reduced the anxiety for someone like me that worries about forgetting things. Also, my family and I love love watching movies and this place was perfect! Surround sound in everyroom and and easy to set up! We played games and had dinner together on that amazing dinner table! Thanks for everything." - Elleby Portillo, Gardena, CA, 08/01/2011 (FlipKey Review) I'm so glad you enjoyed our oasis in desert and that the TVs and PS2 proved to be simple for you. Come back and relax and have some great family time again soon!
"Hi there, I would definitely recommend anybody thinking of staying at this condo. The condo itself is very well taken care of. The furnishings as well as finishes are very nice, and dealing with Melinda was very effortless. The place is clean, the grounds of the country club are very well maintained, and the clubhouse is very nice. Tennis courts are very clean and set in a beautiful and well maintained setting." - Needed the sun, Alberta, Canada, 07/22/2011 (FlipKey Review)
"Hi, We rented the flat from Germany via Phone/Internet and the entire process worked flawless. When we arrived from la airport everything was set up for our entry in the gated community plus access to the condo. The flat was in sparkling condition and what we enjoyed after our long flight, that all the small things like papertowels, spices, pellets for the DW etc. where there. After our long working days we returned with great pleasure to have a quiet drink on the patio overlooking the golf course. In summary I can only say that service and amenities were perfect for a good price. With pleasure I can recommend it to anybody who enjoys desert flavour in a very civilized environment. Palm Desert/Palm Springs + surroundings are a must see. Should our business bring us again in this area we will defintely check in again. Cheers Gernot + Christa Kafka" - Gernot Kafka, Mainz/Germany, 06/17/2011 (FlipKey Review)
"I would like to thank you personal for a wonderful stay in the "desert". My wife and myself we enjoyed every day in your flat. Nothing was missing and I suggest that you dont change anything. It was very pleasant, when we moved in, that the tiny things were there, like papertowels,spices, sugar, pellets for the dishwasher etc. From the neighbors we did not notice much since they disappeared almost the whole day, so it was very quiet and relaxing, also on the weekends. " - Gernot K., 55296 Loerzweiler,Ge, 06/10/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"The rooms and the bathroom were fantastic! The fact that we were right on the golf cart was a really exciting experience. We definitely plan on booking again!!" - CountryGirl!, Chatsworth, Ca., 06/02/2011 (FlipKey Review) Thanks for the great review. We look forward to your return!
"We enjoyed our stay. The condo is well decorated and equipped. It is well-located in Palm Desert. The manger/owner is efficient. The fairway views from our chaise on the patio is beautiful. We had problem figuring out the TV, but got it to work." - Judy, Carmel, California, 05/29/2011 (FlipKey Review) It was good to have you as our guest and glad you got to enjoy some rest & relaxation. It seems the TV remotes are giving a few problems, we'll be working to make those instructions easier and clearer shortly. Thanks for the feedback.
"We where looking on Vrbo for a place to stay in Palm Desert and this place came up offering a special rate of $150/nt, which is a fantastic rate for the time of year, so we couldn't pass it up. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. We hope to stay again. Pros: Fantastic price. Great location, clean, well appointed, free internet.Comfortable. Access to the country club.Beautiful grounds. Owner Melinda, is quick to respond to emails and calls. Cons: Automated reservation system is a little convoluted. Tv/cable systems has more remotes than I do." - Ron, Seattle, 05/03/2011 (FlipKey Review) We're happy you enjoyed our place at Palm Desert as much as we do. We are forever trying to find the balance between the great TV/sound system and the complicated ways to operate them. Our project for this summer is to try to re-lable and re-do the instructions to help. Always looking to improve, so thanks for the feedback.
"The owner of the property responded promptly to email inquiries for rental. Smooth processing of down payment and payment. Access info emailed promptly. Some difficulty with lock box. Extra key would have been nice. Property well located. Clean. Beautiful Country Club. Safe. Extra face cloths would be good. Courtyard furniture stain clothes. Need to be cleaned and/or replaced. Would stay here again." - C Fischer, Saskatchewan Canada, 03/12/2011 (FlipKey Review) Thank you for your excellent and detailed review. Some times the only way for an owner to know of some issues, is for a guest to tell us. We visited the property yesterday and the day before and added additional towels and face clothes, keys (one had been bent), linens, touch up paint, lamp replacements, and did a deep cleaning again. We will be sure to ask our housekeepers to hose down the front courtyard furniture each time, as we didn't have issues on our visit.
"Too many cockrouches I had to replace burnt out bulbs Need better instructions for TV operations Screen door would not stay in track" - Phred, 97333, 02/10/2011 (FlipKey Review) Update March 2011: We've sprayed for insects and fortunately nothing turned up dead or alive. We are thankful this guest reported the problem and that we were able to take care before it became something serious. The guest has also mentioned to us privately that they are pleased with our response.
"been here before, never disappointed. Location is excellent and the view is great." - Dennis, La Habra, Ca, 01/04/2011 (FlipKey Review) Thanks. This group of guys comes every year to golf and leave our place in great shape. We hope to be part of their fun for many more years.
"it was a great experience. easy, clean, high quality, roomy amd great value." - Julie, Seattle,WA, 10/26/2010 (FlipKey Review)
"We actually were at Palm Valley Golf and Country Club in Palm Desert not at the Oceanside property. Everything was fine with the exception that the carpets in the bedrooms were very soiled. They need a good steam clean. The garburator plugged up once but my husband took the trap apart and cleared it - pays to have a handy husband! All in all we had an extremely enjoyable stay." - Jocelyne and Stan Shigehiro, Vancouver, BC, Canada, 10/25/2010 (FlipKey Review) Thanks for the feedback. We had the carpets cleaned as soon as the guest departed, and had spot cleaned prior to their arrival. We apologize if they were not up to standard. Thanks for fixing the disposal on your own! We gladly send out handymen right away. We look forward to hosting your 3rd visit with us next year and we'll be sure those carpets are cleaned right before your arrival!
"My son and I were very happy w/the accomodations. Master bedroom was very nice and bed/pillow really comfortable. The air condition was perfect and the condo was perfectly stocked. If I could change or better the experience although a beautiful condo the list of ito dos could stated that the water heater needed to be increased in temp. Thist would have avoided an unecessary challenge. We were on a timeline only to find out the water was cold and when turned to hot it actually became colder which caused confusion. This was due to the fact that a few items were opposite (lights, hot & cold direction or indicators) of what would be normal and caused delays in plans. Again, advance notice of relators wanting to show the property would have been acceptable rather than dropping by. Last, if check out is 10:00am I would rather house keeping not come @ 8:00am to see when we were leaving. If this was also on the list of to dos when arriving, I would have confirmed our time on the front end of the stay. This is the first time renting a condo this way and therefore I realize I may not be aware of the procedures. Please know that I am not unhappy and the property is beautiful. Thank you to Tammy for being so helpful in overcoming the payment not posting and all questions and follow-up with everything. Thank you to Chris w/Hotel Bell and there customer service. Greatful & relaxed, Kym Walker-Simonian P.S. Fyi - I noticed in the pantry right of the fridge that there were some bugs. I moved the sugar to the fridge but later noticed that they were on the other side, above spice rack, in cabinet w/plastic cups." - Kym Walker-Simonian, Glendora, CA, 08/25/2010 (FlipKey Review) Thank you for the review, Kym, and we are glad you enjoyed your first time in a vacation rental. We hope you'll come stay with us again in the desert.
"We stayed the month of May in the Palm Valley Country Club in the Vista Las Palmas Condo. It was very comfortable. It had all the amenities you could ever want. The kitchen itself was very nice, as was the master bedroom. The only negative points to this place was the overall cleanliness. On the surface everything thing looked very clean. All the drains were very slow and in need of unclogging. Some lights were burnt out, a little mold around the bathtub and shower stall. Nothing that would ruin a vacation. We loved the place and would certainly return." - Marian Hughes, Vancouver, BC, 06/06/2010 (FlipKey Review) Dear Marian,
"The cleaning could have been better before we arrived. The surface area were clean but under the beds and sofa they had not cleaned in a long time. The master bathroom tub was clogged with hair and we had to use Draino. The dinning mats were stained as well as some of the towels. The towels were clean but stained from previous use. The condo could do with some sprucing up. The screens were off their tracks on the sliding glass doors. Just attention to some details is needed." - Stujed, Stujed@aol.com, 02/04/2010 (FlipKey Review) Thank you for the thoughtful response. We've spoken with our cleaning crew and asked them to do some deeper cleaning and pay special attention to drains. We do have deep cleanings every 3 months, but some things sound like they were missed. We are also checking towels to be sure stained ones are taken out of service.
"Serenity in this lovely country club condo complete with swimming pools, golfing, and childcare. Our family enjoyed the spacious layout (two bedrooms and two patios!), fresh oranges and lemons, huge stocked kitchen, and tranquil/beautiful setting. We were gone most days exploring (Living Desert, Kids Museum, shopping, swimming/golfing), but it was great to come home for supper and then an evening of playing games at the dining room table. Easy access to many amenities, so was an ideal place to be; would definitely stay there again." - Glee, Canada, 01/10/2010 (FlipKey Review)
"We had a great time at this place. the house was totally updated with 4 flat screen tv's, a stocked kitchen, and pretty much everything that is need to have a relaxing trip. The pool was close and we had breakfast every morning on the patio on the golf course. It doesn't quite get the sun in November but across the street at the pool the sun is there. I would definitely rent this place again." - PortlandEscapee, Portland, OR, 11/17/2009 (FlipKey Review)
"Beautiful location, very nice condo .....but didn't have TV or phone service from Tuesday to Saturday (4 days)....owner wasn't very helpful in getting the service restored sooner. Will probably return to the complex but not this condo." - Golfingfamily, Indiana, 07/02/2009 (FlipKey Review) We are sorry the guest had TV and phone issues and responded quickly and repeatedly to them regarding these problems. We worked diligently within hours and for several days to address these issues and unfortunately the service was out in the area for the first part of their stay, which we cannot control. After that, we had trouble communicating the trouble shooting process re: surround sound & the TV. The bedroom TV worked fine, and the next guest was able to operate the TVs without issue as were the prior guests. We are considering removing the surround sound functions to simplify TV operation as what seems simple to one guest, is terribly frustrating to another. We are sorry the TV problem hampered this guests' fun and that they were not satisfied with our response.
"The unit had all the amenities, more than the two of us could utilize. Convenient location in community. Access to clubhouse functions. Pleasant quiet neighborhood, good for walking and many pools to chose from. It was a good rate compared to the previous accommodations in the same community. Nothing of consequence to criticize. The TV controls were difficult to comprehend and available instructions unclear. The outside BBQ didn't seem to work. And the vertical blinds were in process of replacement. We are very happy with our stay and plan on a return visit asap." - Paul Bleck, Kailua Kona Hawaii, 06/05/2009 (FlipKey Review) Ah...the TV...we get more questions about this system than anything else at any property. It's so good that it's difficult to understand. The founder of BVR is owner of this condo, and as soon as it's vacant again we are either going to try a universal remote or simplify and remove the surround sound. The BBQ has been replaced and the new blinds are in! We look forward to hosting the Blecks again.
"We were looking for a condo that was "kid friendly". Melinda's rental caught our eye because pool toys, board games were included in the description. The condo was in fact kid friendly, comfortable and lovely. We used the small pool that was directly across the street-just the right size for our grandchildren. It was a pleasurable couple of days with an array of activities to take in. The golfers of the group had a great time, hiking just outside the city, shopping and the Living Desert Zoo were highlights. Our grandson can't wait to return! Melinda and staff were very accomodating from the first phone inquiry. The only complaint is the hide-a-bed was quite uncomfortable. It was a true mini vacation!" - Jane S., Wisconsin, 05/07/2009 (FlipKey Review) We are considering doing away with sofa beds. Would love to hear from guests and potential guests directly and have posted a survey on our blog at http://bettervacationrentals.blogspot.com so you can help us decide! We personally prefer the new Aerobeds over sofa beds. Thanks for the feedback.
"Beautiful condo and setting. Gorgeous golf couse setting, wonderful complex. Beautiful country club with many amenities...golf, tennis, workout room, spa, restaurant. We took our 3 kids and they loved it! We loved sitting outside on the patio to eat and enjoy the views. Would definitely go back." - Loretta R, Orange County, 05/07/2009 (FlipKey Review)
"We stayed at this house for the Coachella Music Festival. It is at a pretty good distance from the polo field and overall it's very comfortable and with a really cool decoration. TVs were great for us. The area is very nice and quiet, great for resting after a very busy day! Thanks for everything" - Maria T., Mexico City, 04/27/2009 (FlipKey Review)
"fantastice place! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nicely furnished, stocked and modern condo in the desert. Owner was very professional and provided all the info you will ever need to make your stay enjoyable. I would definately rent this condo again.

"This is a very nice condo to stay in. We were pleased with the layout and all that was provided for us in the unit. I loved sitting on the patio each morning with my coffee, and the kids loved the games that were in the front room. The only thing we weren't pleased about were the fees associated with the property. Our kids were really looking forward to playing tennis, but having to pay the start up fee and then a daily fee per person was too spendy. Our family has a timeshare not far down the road, and they don't have those fees, so we used their property for extra activities. Otherwise, everything was good. Thank you for making the condo feel like a home away from home!!" - Ohashi, Colorado, 12/02/2008 (FlipKey Review)

""We had a very nice time while staying in your condo. It's beautiful and large enough for us all to spread out. The kids loved having games to play, especialy the PS2, and a TV in each room was perfect. We didn't use the membership because everything cost too much to use each time (owners' note: we agree - but unfortunately can't do anything about the club fees - our membership costs over $600/mo and they still charge our guests!), but we used our mother's rental amenities for free at her property. So it all worked out. Thanks."" - The Ohashis, Colorado, 10/25/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

(owners' note: that darn high tech TV system gives everyone trouble - we got the surround sound working again). We plan on coming again before the end of the year!

"It is obvious that the owner's care very much about their guests enjoyment. This unit has top of the line TV/Stereo amenities that came in handy during the peak summer heat. Very relaxing place." - Pauli M., Los Angeles, CA, (VRBO Reviews)
""We had a very nice time while staying in your condo. It's beautiful and large enough for us all to spread out. The kids loved having games to play, especialy the PS2, and a TV in each room was perfect. We didn't use the membership because everything cost too much to use each time (owners' note: we agree - but unfortunately can't do anything about the club fees - our membership costs over $600/mo and they still charge our guests!), but we used our mother's" - The Ohashis, , (VRBO Reviews)
""Wonderful condo-special attention to TV etc - great for Reds Games - kitchen" - Mr. & Mrs. Hansen, , (VRBO Reviews)

"""Enjoyable & Relaxing w/Suggestions" My son and I were very happy w/the accomodations. Master bedroom was very nice and bed/pillow really comfortable. The air condition was perfect and the condo was perfectly stocked. If I could change or better the experience although a beautiful condo the list of ito dos could stated that the water heater needed to be increased in temp. Thist would have avoided an unecessary challenge. We were on a timeline only to find out the water was cold and when turned to hot it actually became colder which caused confusion. This was due to the fact that a few items were opposite (lights, hot & cold direction or indicators) of what would be normal and caused delays in plans. Again, advance notice of relators wanting to show the property would have been acceptable rather than dropping by. Last, if check out is 10:00am I would rather house keeping not come @ 8:00am to see when we were leaving. If this was also on the list of to dos when arriving, I would have confirmed our time on the front end of the stay. This is the first time renting a condo this way and therefore I realize I may not be aware of the procedures. Please know that I am not unhappy and the property is beautiful. Thank you to Tammy for being so helpful in overcoming the payment not posting and all questions and follow-up with everything. Thank you to Chris w/Hotel Bell and there customer service." - Kym, , (VRBO Reviews)

""very upscale yet comfortable been here before, never disappointed. Location is excellent and the view is great."" - Dennis from La Habra, Ca , , (VRBO Reviews)
"It was clean. The outside light didn't go off all night and it was hard to sleep in the room nearby. The TV's needed a tech. to figure out with all those controls. The lighting in most of the lamps were poor (could hardly read by them). However, for the most part it was very nice and the patio was wonderful to sit out. The location was great." - Bev., Prescott, Az. , (VRBO Reviews)
"We have been coming to Pqlm Desert over St. Patricks Day, with seven other couples for 26 years. When we were younger, and still working, we came for long weekends. Now that we have more time (all are retired) we stay for at least a week. In fact, three of the eight couples loved Palm VAlley C.C so much that they bought their own condo. We feel so fortunate to have found your condo. It met our every need -beautifully decorated, great location - so comfortable. We're very thankful it was available for our stay!" - 2 Couples from Danville CA and Kiawah Island SC, , (VRBO Reviews)
"""Wonderful" The owner of the property responded promptly to email inquiries for rental. Smooth processing of down payment and payment. Access info emailed promptly. Some difficulty with lock box. Extra key would have been nice. Property well located. Clean. Beautiful Country Club. Safe. Extra face cloths would be good. Courtyard furniture stain clothes. Need to be cleaned and/or replaced. Would stay here again." ---Source: FlipKey online review system.

"""Excellent place to stay at a fantastic price." We where looking on Vrbo for a place to stay in Palm Desert and this place came up offering a special rate of $150/nt, which is a fantastic rate for the time of year, so we couldn't pass it up. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. We hope to stay again. Pros: Fantastic price. Great location, clean, well appointed, free internet.Comfortable. Access to the country club.Beautiful grounds. Owner Melinda, is quick to respond to emails and calls. Cons: Automated reservation system is a little convoluted." - Ron, , (VRBO Reviews)
"My family and I had such a great time. I wasn't sure what to expect or how much to pack. But I must say that they think of everything! That significantly reduced the anxiety for someone like me that worries about forgetting things. Also, my family and I love love watching movies and this place was perfect! Surround sound in everyroom and and easy to set up! We played games and had dinner together on that amazing dinner table! Thanks for everything. I wanted to give it a 5 star rating but the website kept glitching." - elicar76, , (VRBO Reviews)

"What an amazing place, thank you! Your home was a wonderful place for us to meet up with family from England. We were all surprised by the heat, but took advantage of the pools and had a great visit. T and I hope to come back again if you'll have us and bring our children who are in their 20's and love to golf. Thanks for a wonderful week.
