Ocotillo lodge has the best pool in Palm Springs and this classic property never disappoints. The casita was spotless and tastefully decorated. The mid-century modern vibe never gets old!
Within proximity of hiking, food shopping and restaurants. Our stay was pleasurable except for plumbing issues and strict property rules about bikes. However, staff was friendly and responsive.
We loved it! The mid-century decor, the private patio, the beautiful pool and hot tubs, and the location south of the downtown area, which can be noisy. The other guests we met at the pool were interesting, kind and friendly.
This was a wonderful bungalow and the location was perfect. There wasn't one item lacking - kitchen or otherwise. Great bed, bedding, enough TP, paper towels, etc. The pool was amazing -- pristine and perfect temperature. Fabulous bungalow & hosts. Thank you!!!
This was our 2nd time staying in this fun and well appointed condo and it didn't disappoint. Great location, loved the hot tubs on chilly nights and the retro vibe. Already looking forward to our next visit!
We really enjoyed Our stay at this spacious well furnished casita with the exception of the out of date hard uncomfortable mattress. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The back porch was nice although the grill was pretty bad. If not for the mattress I would always return. When in PS.

The condo and grounds were absolutely amazing. The property has a rich sense of history and a truly authentic mid-century modern vibe—it honestly feels like it was plucked straight out of the 1960s in the best possible way. The pool and hot tubs were fantastic and a real highlight of our stay. The kitchen was also very well stocked, which made our stay even more comfortable and convenient. Overall, the setting itself was beautiful, relaxing, and memorable.Unfortunately, the property management experience left a lot to be desired. The after-hours check-in directions were chaotic and confusing, and locating their office was difficult since it’s tucked away in a strip mall. While the after-hours emergency hotline was eventually helpful once they responded, we ran into a major issue when the gate code to the facility had changed without any notice. This resulted in us being left outside in the pouring rain while they took their time tracking down the new code.That said, the property itself is truly special. With improved communication and smoother after-hours procedures from management, we would absolutely rent here again.

Enjoyable, quiet, pleasant...HOWEVER...
The apartment/condo is pleasant, well-equipped, secure, and has all amenities. However, arrival was difficult because the realty office, which supplied our keys via a lock box, failed to tell us which of four gates to use for entry and neglected to supply a required code, which we received only by an emergency call to the real estate office at 10pm. Also not provided the PW for the Internet but that we located on a router on the floor in the bedroom.

ENCONTRAMOS CUCARACHAS... Y APARTE TIENEN UN DESCONTROL EN LOS PAGOS, TUVIMOS QUE VOLVERA PAGAR.... ESPERO QUE NO DUPLIQUEN EL PAGO
Pictures of unit were accurate and unit was well supplied. We found location convenient. Pool area is very nice. Complex is well kept, quiet and felt safe.
Beautiful well stocked one bedroom unit on property with pool and hot tubs. Older, quiet crowd. Clean and great location between Palm Springs and other desert communities as well as Joshua Tree.
Property and grounds excellent. Condo decorated so mid-century modern-so cute! Loved the private patio. Pool/area quiet and well appointed chairs/tables/umbrellas. Walking to restaurants/grocery store/coffee/ice cream and exploring the neighborhood on foot was super. Will definitely stay in this unit again and/or on the grounds itself for sure. Thank you for sharing your place!
We were so happy with our experience here. Central to everything. Bed was firm which we loved! Well appointed and bathroom was spacious! Would stay there again.
