We had a wonderful stay for one week in June at Shannen’s property in Rancho Mirage. The house was very clean, and well decorated. Kids and adults will love that the pool is only a few houses down the street, and most of the time no one else was there so it felt like a private pool experience. We had 4 adults and 2 kids staying and the house is comfortable and spacious enough that no one felt on top of each other. Shannen is extremely responsive and wants her guests to have a great stay. A major pro of the house is the patio — it’s huge and overlooks a serene golf course, and it was amazing having our morning coffee out there and dining al fresco at night. It would be great if the house stocked some citronella candles though because the mosquitos were pretty fierce! Another big plus is the proximity to major grocery stores (Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and many others) — super convenient if you want to cook and/or need to run out and pick things up for the kids.
A couple of things to mention:
- the internet was problematic and I couldn’t work from home as I’d planned. The way the wifi network is currently set up was incompatible with my work network.
- The third bedroom is more of a den and doesn’t have a closet, something to keep in mind in case closet space is important to you!
- There are two bathrooms, with one of them providing hallway access as well as being en-suite.
