Oscar Mayer House continues to please.

This is a totally mid century Palm Springs style house. It's spacious, comfortable and the location is great. On a quiet cul de sac, close to downtown. Nice views from the pool area which has plenty of relaxing space in the sun as well as the shade.

Great location!

Things to note: - large house with lots of room for four adults and four kids - great location, close to downtown PS - pool was nice, but there's an extra per day charge to heat it and you must order it 2 days in advance - modern appliances, TV in every room was nice - very clean bathrooms - upon arrival there was a roach in the kitchen - west bedroom was warmer than the rest of the house, but thermostat was set at 75 or lower - great rental if you don't mind being quiet outside or just staying indoors all day, or driving somewhere else in town to talk to each other outdoors - note, there's no early check-in and late check-out at 2pm costs extra Overall a positive experience, but not sure I would stay in a short-term rental in Palm Springs again.

A relaxed, comfortable stay in Palm Springs.

The house is large, with bedrooms spread out, so everyone in our group had privacy if needed. However, with a big living room with several comfortable couches and chairs we spent a lot of time socializing there. the several comfortable chairs. The sliding glass doors in the living room led to the pool. Comfortable lounge chairs and a big table in the patio made that area like an extra room. House was spotless. Vacasa texted and called when we arrived to make sure everything was okay. That was a nice touch.

Great neighborhood

Imagine driving 8 hours with expectation of a pool waiting for you ( 115deg ) to arrive to a dirty pool with a garden hose hanging in it. Was going to call next morning but pool guy showed up. He advised the pump and filler wre beoken and he had been advising property manager for months. He cleaned pool and turned on the hose to get fresh water into pool. He went to do other jobs and returned later to shut off. Saved the day. T his day was the hottest in history. The inside of the house was clean and the ac kicked butt. The towels and bedding were cheap. Not enough towels for amount of people. Outside there is noticeable deferred maintenance in the yard. Irrigation isnt feeding everything so we felt sad for all the dying plants. He saved the day cleaned pool

Tranquil Luxury: Embracing Mid-Century Charm in Palm Springs

We had an absolutely incredible stay at this mid-century house in Palm Springs! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the stylish retro decor, spacious layout, and the stunning pool area. The house is beautifully furnished with a perfect blend of modern amenities and mid-century charm. The living areas are bright and airy, with comfortable seating that made us feel right at home. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, and dining al fresco by the poolside was a highlight of our stay. Speaking of the pool area, it's simply spectacular. Offering plenty of shade and breathtaking views of the mountains, it was ideal for a refreshing dip or soaking up the California sun on the loungers. The location couldn't have been better. Situated in a fabulous neighborhood close to downtown Palm Springs, we were just a short drive away from the vibrant shops and restaurants that the area has to offer. Yet, the neighborhood itself was peaceful and serene, allowing us to enjoy a quiet retreat when desired. Overall, we can't recommend this VRBO house enough for anyone looking to experience the charm and luxury of Palm Springs. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a getaway with friends, or a romantic escape, this property checks all the boxes for a perfect stay. We're already dreaming of our next visit! Thank you to the host for sharing this gem with us—we can't wait to return!

Mid-Century Marvel with Potential

Stayed at this mid-century modern home and was charmed by its potential. The property exudes vintage character but could use a little love to fully shine. The architecture is classic mid-century modern, with clean lines and an open-plan layout. The living area is spacious with large windows/sliding glass doors that open onto the pool area, though some of the furniture and decor seem dated and worn. With a little refresh, this space could be truly spectacular. The kitchen has a decent layout but the appliances are showing their age. A 4-cup coffee maker seemed too small for the number of guests this property can accommodate. Some modern touches here would make a world of difference. Bedrooms are cozy but could use a facelift to match the home’s stylish bones. The bathrooms, too, are functional, but one, in particular, is in need of modern touches and a bit of polish. Despite these cosmetic issues, the property has a lot to offer. The private pool and outdoor area have an outstanding view of the mountains, though the landscaping could use some renovating. Games, books, and puzzles are available. The hosts (Vacasa) were friendly and accommodating, ensuring our stay was comfortable. If you’re someone who can appreciate the potential in this mid-century gem, then this home could be a fantastic retreat for you. P.S. Bring bug spray...the mosquitos devoured us at night.

The house is lovely. Immaculately clean. We tried to leave it just as clean if not better. The info in the book about the house is a bit out of date, but we figured most of it out. We could not figure out how to turn off the pool heater, as the book is out of date, but suspect you have someone to do that. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Great location and price!

The location of this house is amazing, 5 minutes to downtown. The living room area is amazing, with tons of comfortable seating and nice big screen TV. The pool was the highlight for me! Great size and with an amazing mountain view!! Only negative would be that the bathrooms are kind of outdated and could use a refresh. But in all fairness, there was a note in the house that they're in the process of updating a lot of the wiring and electrical in the house, so maybe the bathrooms are next.
