Find sunshine, ease, and beautiful views of the mountains at this classic California bungalow in Palm Springs, where you'll enjoy peace, relaxation, and a short walk or bike ride to the heart of downtown. Here in the tranquil neighborhood of Ruth Hardy Park, you'll be treated to beautiful outdoor spaces made private and peaceful by tall hedges, mature landscaping, and a private swimming pool with an attached spa. Spend your days reading in the swings on the covered porch, barbecuing on the built-in gas grill, dining in the shade of the umbrella, and watching the sunset over the mountains as you gather around the firepit. At night, the two bedrooms are on opposite ends of the house, each paired with its own bathroom, TV, and DVD player.

Lovely Getaway

This property has a lot going for it, and overall, we enjoyed our stay. Except for the occasional airplane taking off, the neighborhood was peaceful and quite. The grounds are spacious, and the kitchen was well-enough equipped to cook in. Unfortunately, there was no garage to get our car out of the sun, and the pictures need to be updated. There was only one umbrella by the pool and one swing on the porch. The pictures show two of each. The main bedroom had very light weight curtains, so it would have been nice to have blackout curtains in there. Communicating with Vacasa is what you can expect from a chatbot. On the other hand, the house was incredibly clean when we arrived.

Great location….property could use some updates and repairs

This was our second stay at Kiwi Cottage for a month-long stay. It appears that there was a flood that caused the floors to warp, and we had to wash the sofa pillow covers , as they had been left outside and were filthy and sun-faded. The shear curtains in the 2nd bedroom kept falling down, as they are missing hardware. There was inadequate silverware, but Vacasa (the management company)took care of that.we had a nice stay regardless.can’t beat the location and the pool is fantastic with its soothing fountain reverberating through the living room!

Old Palm Springs

The property is dated but very clean. Description states that there is a DVD player. There is one but it's in one of the bedrooms and it's attached to a very small TV. We had taken a number of DVD's but couldn't enjoy them. It does include good streaming opportunities. We cooked every day, and the quality of the knives was weak. They need to be sharpened or provide a sharpener. We've stayed in Palm Springs many times at other VRBO properties, and the check in process for this unit was not easy. The shower heads need replacing. Great location if you like proximity to old Palm Springs and its many restaurants.

Great neighborhood. Lovely yard!

All in all the house was great! The yard was huge and perfectly oriented for great sun and shade. As in previous reviews, there are a couple things that could use a little TLC. All of the outdoor landscaping lights were burnt out or broken. The 2nd bedroom has a big closet but it's full of garbage bags full of linen. There is a small chest of drawers in the closet but it is situated sideways and has stuff int front of it so it wasn't easy to get into the drawers. The 2nd bathroom had no counter space for toothbrush etc. A shelf in the bathroom would be a nice addition. These were small things compared to how lovely our stay was! Will definitely recommend this house for location and yard and privacy!

Perfect low key family getaway

We had a great time staying here. It's in a perfect location just a short way from DT. The neighborhood is nice and quiet.. If you plan on staying before May, you definitely need to heat the pool so keep this in mind. Otherwise it's quite cold even though it might be 90 degrees outside.

Luxury getaway

Pool, spa and grounds a major draw...very well maintained. Water toys in the shed! Would have loved a few additions in the kitchen...pasta bowls for pasta, soup, casserole serving, baking sheet for making cookies, pizza, filters for coffee maker. Loved the glassware. Please add a cleaning tool for the barbeque. Having said all this, we will be back; LOVED our stay!!

bad jacuzzi

The jet covers on the Jacuzzi heads are missing so the water shoots up like fountains making it impossible to sit in the jacuzzi and relax, The water never got hot - horrible after having to pay an extra heating fee! rip off thieves! And the Jacuzzi runs so loud its really disturbing. Great place otherwise, but what a rip.

Kiwi Cottage

Our stay here overall was great. However, the toilet on the right side of the house as you walk in runs constantly. Also, my friend in the master bedroom heard some kind of rodent crawling around inside the wall during the early morning hours. Furthermore, on Friday 8/21 at 3:56 PM, one of the sprinkler valve heads burst and lots of water began flowing out from the broken valve head, which we immediately noticed because we were in the pool nearby. My guest was able to turn off the sprinkler system to prevent flooding and property damage, but you should definitely have someone go out there and evaluate the situation. Please note that I already emailed Guest Services at Vacation Palm Springs about the burst sprinkler valve on Friday, August 21, a few hours after it happened. Other than these items, our stay was lovely.

Fun for the Fourth

The Kiwi Cottage was everything we were expecting and hoping for for a nice weekend get away for the holiday. There were two couples in our group, the pool and spa were perfect. Some things in the house and outside of spa are a bit run down. But overall very clean and convenient two bedroom, two bathroom. We utilized the grill and fire pit each of the four nights we were there. We only left the house once to go to the store and once to go hiking. Overall it was such a great weekend and would stay here again! Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. There was coffee available but I recommenced bringing your own!
