40th birthday weekend
We had a great stay at the house. It is beautiful, the pool area particularly is pretty and helped set the mood. The property management is nice, communicates well, and was quick to respond when there was a little hiccup with the house.

A Hen Weekend To Remember
This is a fabulous property. Perfect for 8 adults or 4 couples. The bunk room is a great addition if you have teenagers. All the main bedrooms have their own bathroom and they are separate from one another to really give you a sense of privacy when you need it. Jeremy, the property manager was lovely, a great help and quick to respond. The pool and grounds have so much to offer. We never left the house, because why on earth would we. The kitchen was set up with everything you need to prepare and serve all your own meals. We brought fancy coffee and groceries. There is a Trader Joes and a Ralphs nearby and a Whole Foods about 20 minutes away. We are already planning our next trip. This time we plan on bringing the husbands.

Wonderful Home
We had an amazing experience at this house. It has everything you need for a fun and comfortable stay. Jeremy gave us a great tour and was very responsive on text. The only one thing that was a little tricky was that the AC is locked and set to 75 which on a 118 degree weekend wasn’t cool enough to give us respite. We had a great time though and would come back for sure .

Great property, great management
Rented this gorgeous home for a girls’ weekend and it was perfect! It is set up well for adults to have their own space but also wonderful and large community spaces. The highlight is definitely the gorgeous pool area, though we also thoroughly enjoyed the comfortable living room and incredibly well-stocked kitchen. The property managers we absolutely fantastic and helped us out whenever we needed assistance. 10/10 and I would definitely rent again!

Perfect Space for Couples!
We rented the house to spend time with our adult children. The two private Casita-style bedrooms were great for the kids and their partners to have space that felt private and yet connected. The master bedroom is spacious. The fourth bedroom was private for a friend who joined us. The kitchen is VERY well stocked! The pool is great. The house is private and yet convenient to everything! Jeremy was very responsive and great with communication.

Over priced
Great layout and perfect for entertainement. Tastefully decorated in an upscale neighberhood. BUT totally missed the marked on cleaness: two of the bathrooms had serious stains, so were two of the bedsheets. The laudry room was a mess with lint and spider webs. For the price paid and cleaning fee charged ahead of time, this was a total miss!!

Thanksgiving in Palm Springs
Our multi-generation family of adult kids through grandparents very much enjoyed relaxing at the beautiful Villa Carmelita. Floating in the pool, watching football and cooking the turkey was a perfect way to blend vacation with a traditional Thanksgiving day. The layout of the house allowed us plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to spread out and take in the natural beauty surrounding us. We are so grateful for this lovely home away from home. Hope to be back and make this a new tradition!

The Perfect Vacation!
If you're thinking about staying at Villa Carmelita, do not hesitate! This home is wonderful. Private, quiet, open concept with every amenity you could want in PS! I've never seen a kitchen so stocked in a rental before. The house was even more impressive than the pictures. The check-in/out was easy and the home overall was just so beautiful. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of towels (including pool towels), and the house is so big that it never felt crowded at all. There is a large refrigerator/freezer for ice cold drinks, lots of board games for family fun nights, large dining areas for everyone to gather plus covered parking and a private front gate. I would definitely return here...we didn't want to leave! Thank you for the lovely stay.
