My husband and I have traveled the world and we now live in Portland, OR. We took a chance on this new property in the Movie Colony and the pictures are not only real, they are even more beautiful when you arrive. Upon arrival my husband and I were blown away by the size and beauty of this Mediterranean style estate.. We immediately let our dog off his leash and he ran around so excited to search this new area of play. The lawn that wraps around the home is excellently maintained and smells of lavender and lemons from the lemon trees. My dog rolled his belly around the grass 2-3 times daily. He was so happy and joyful. Inside was amazing and Laura and Ricardo not only met our expectations but truthfully succeeded them as we have been coming to Palm Springs for 10 years and have stayed in both the Movie Colony and Old Las Palmas so we could be near the coffee shop KOFFEE on N. Palm Canyon Blvd every day to meet our friends - so the location was not only perfect, but just 0.9 tenths of a mile away - perfect for a daily dog walk to and from the property. The home was generously stocked and my nephews, (who came at different times) found the casita perfect for their working vacation and having it's own KEURIG, refrigerator and microwave came in handy. Very spacious I might add. The interior walls have beautiful art and the sofas were like new -nice and clean and very comfortable to entertain guests and family. WE have already booked for next year and are going to stay even longer. The pool, casita, hot tub and ambiance at night made our few months stay the most relaxed we have ever been since coming to Palm Springs. We feel lucky to have found this home the first day it was on VRBO and we also feel lucky to have met Laura and Ricardo. Last but not least, the communication between ourselves and the owners was immediate and I am going to miss the little nook off to the side (after you walk though the front door,) that became my private place to drink a cup of coffee in the mornings while watching my dog blissfully mark his new territory and roll around in the grass. PS>. The huge laundry room was AWESOME and well used! We can't wait to come back!!! Thank you Ricardo and Laura !!!
