Borrego Springs Getaway w/ Private Pool & Views!

Reviews

• Accommodating and well-stocked

  5/5

  The house is at the end of a quiet street, so quite peaceful. Well-stocked kitchen, and nice bathrooms.

  Nice natural lighting.

  Very responsive and kind host.

  Light comes into the bedrooms as soon as the sun rises. Bring something to cover your eyes if you want to sleep later into the morning!

• Perfect family place

  5/5

  We arrived just after a terrible wind storm and power was out all over the valley but we were able to get in and have a candlelight snack . The owner was in contact with us the entire time and the lights finally went on in Borrego Springs.

  This was our second visit to this property. It is always clean and comfortable but you feel like you are at grandma's in 1990.

• Spacious house needs TLC

  3/5

  Our stay at the house was pleasant . The house is spacious but have sone flaws .

  Although listed as a 4 bedroom house, the forth bedroom is an addition that almost feels like it’s outside the house . I we had expected to use it we would not have been comfortable sleeping on the space. The other 3 bedrooms and bathrooms were large and we accommodated just fine without the use of the extra room. Bedrooms and bathrooms were cleaned and ready for use.

  The kitchen drawers were messy and there is a large amount of china, that makes the kitchen feel cluttered. We are travelers who love cooking and specially during the holidays the kitchen is a must. We were able to have a good thanksgiving but did rinse and washed every single utensil prior to use since the clutter made us a bit uncomfortable.

  I was aware of the possibility of finding bugs in the house since I read prior reviews and did encounter several bugs alive in the house that we took care of, just felt like there needs to be better control of the critters by fumigating often and closing some cracks.

  The pool area was dirty, and although weather wasn’t good for pool use , we would not have been able to use it in the state it was.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Brenda, we’re so glad you enjoyed the clean and spacious home, but we’re sorry other aspects fell short of expectations. After sending your feedback to the owner, they’d like to share the following:
  - Our property is advertised accurately as a 3 bed, 3 bath with a bonus room, and not as a 4 bedroom. The bonus room is furnished with a trundle bed, providing two twin-sized beds that are best suited for children.
  - We take pride in offering a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, complete with a wide array of kitchen gadgets and utensils. Our dedicated professional cleaning team ensures that all utensils are thoroughly washed in the dishwasher between guests. Additionally, for special occasions, we have a set of fine china stored on one of the top shelves.
  - While we maintain regular pest control services, it's important to note that residing in the desert doesn't guarantee a completely pest-free environment. We strive to keep our property as pest-free as possible.
  - The pool is typically cleaned on Thursdays or Fridays, depending on the upcoming guests' arrival. Unfortunately, during the week of your stay, we experienced unusually windy conditions, which made it challenging to keep the pool area completely free of natural debris. 
  Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. 

• Great place!

  5/5

  Had a blast! Kids loved it so did my dad. Everything was just like the property manager said. Check in was easy. There were some dead bugs my son has to sweep up when they got there but it was hot as it was outside, we seemed to see crickets and such pop up at night. So even if they cleaned the day before, it's hard to say there wouldn't be dead bugs to clean up. We saw 3 big horn sheep, a road runner, and a coyote on the golf course behind the house. Fun to watch. The flood light is really sensitive. It would be nice to be able to turn that less sensitive at like 2-4am for peak star gazing times. Big bath tubs, but we didn't use them. The pool was perfect. Overall great.

• Mostly great place.

  4/5

  Pluses: clean, plenty of towels and dishes, pans, appliances, kitchenware, ice maker, A/C worked great, clean pool. Owners easy to reach. Quiet neighborhood, plenty of parking.

  Negatives: no trash bags, no extra toilet paper or paper towels. No washer /drier. 1 out of 3 ceiling fans worked. Trash cans overflowing outside, ice dispenser in fridge door not working, A/C unit in one bedroom very loud and vents rattling, etc. Camera in pool area and motion activated lights very annoying and intrusive. NO umbrellas or shade by pool. Side patio needs cleaning and organized.

  Overall, still a nice big home to share with family and friends. No VRBO is ever perfect !
