My husband and I (and our dog) were at the San Lucas Hideaway for a working vacation. The house was very clean, comfortable, in a great location and in a super quiet neighborhood. It was easy to get to restaurants in the evenings, walk from the house, or drive to nearby hikes in the mountains. There is so much to do in Palm Springs, we wish we had more time to enjoy the area rather than work! The backyard, pool, spa and birds were lovely!
San Lucas Hideout was just as advertised. Stayed there for four nights and wish it was 14.
The house was extremely well stocked with kitchen utensils etc. even the drawers weee all labeled so virtually no searching. High quality appliances etc.
house was very clean comfy and roomy and the back yard and pool were perfect. Almost all of our time was spent there.
Great neighbourhood , close to good restaurants and entertainment
Would highly recommend this Hideout
I will be back
We loved our stay at San Lucas Hideaway! It was a beautiful house with an amazing pool and backyard area. The location was also amazing as we were able to walk to downtown!
There were a couple issues that would have made our stay perfect. First one is we had lots of trouble getting hot tub water to get hot & stay hot. Seemed very inefficient that it would get hot than instantly lots of cold water came in & cooled it right down. Second, the fan in main bathroom was extremely LOUD!!! Besides being very annoying, it is a safety issue. A home in our area had a fire because of faulty bathroom fan. Even with these small issues, we still loved our stay & plan to book again with ACME.
Had an outstanding experience at this location. Top notch cleanliness, amenities galore, quiet neighborhood and most importantly the management company acme was very good at communicating and setting up the rental when we arrived. We are already in process to book again...
Enjoyed our visit.
Issues with hot tub heating and mosquitos.

Reviewer Comments:
We really enjoyed our stay, everything was so easy! The location was convenient and the home itself had everything we needed. The pool temp was fantastic and all the space in the yard was fantastic.
We absolutely loved staying at this beautiful home.. We cooked every meal in the well equipped kitchen and stayed by the pool until dark. I paid extra for the pool and hot tub to be heated and the pump malfunctioned and wasn’t working.. but other than that one thing.. it was a wonderful trip.. We plan to go back to Palm Springs for an extended stay In December..
What a wonderful Palm Springs getaway! It’s beautifully decorated, very clean, and every little detail in the house was well thought out (stocked spices, detergent, coffee, kitchen/laundry supplies, etc.) The pool and hot tub were spacious, night lighting was cool, and plenty of floats and toys for adults and kids. Outdoor space in general was large with tons of games. The house is also very close to the downtown strip/restaurants (5 min drive).
ACME did a superb job with communicating check in details prior to the trip, texting during our trip to ensure we were taken care of, and even finding and returning a forgotten pair of sunglasses we left behind!
This is a great stay for friends or a family with young kids. Highly recommend!

Short stay
I like the property some things didn’t work but, it was ok. The property management company fixed it pretty quick. I will not stay in Palm spring’s. The noise ordination is ridiculous. Can’t even play music in the backyard, felt uncomfortable even talking at night outside.
Lovely pool, great outdoor seating. Lovely master suite. Efficient kitchen and house layout. Court for games was not great. Badminton net not 'regulation'. Birdies were shot. A suggestion for a boule set might be more suitable. The surface might be good for that. We mostly read in the shade or played board games or coloring. Needed a break from sun, so that worked out well. Do use desert baby rentals for crib, high chair, etc. very good service.
This property exceeded our expectations. Mountain View from pool area was great. Hot tub and pool excellent. Outdoor furniture complete. Great for two couples. Would rent again for sure.
This is our family's 4th trip to this property and it never disappoints! We have the most relaxing time and the kids stay busy all day in the pool. Highly recommend!
This was our second time renting this property and it once again was so amazing for our family. It felt like we were at our own private resort for the long weekend. Highly recommend

This property is very nice and Acme was responsive and friendly. Jose went above and beyond to help with a few small things that came up and was simply awesome.
Our family of four has an excellent week at this lovely house. Plenty of shade in the pool area and an added bonus badminton court. Great views as well.

prior visitors did not disclose an issue to Acme. It was left for us to discover. When we contacted Acme, they were extremely apologetic and very responsive. Had the prior guests mentioned what they had done, we would have had a flawless stay. I am giving 5* across the board to the home and to Acme. This was our 2nd stay in this home, and I fully expect to return.
