This is a very special property - my family of 5 had an amazing stay. It’s as advertised and even more impressive in person.

Words can’t fully describe how amazing the stay was. Very peaceful , very relaxing and just all around great vibes. The house all around was beautiful and the hosts were extremely friendly and very welcoming. We would definitely love to stay here again

The Apollo 1000 house exceeded my expectations. The layout was amazing — 3 private king rooms with en suites, plus an extra half bath at the entrance. The kitchen had everything you needed from glassware, cookware, dishes, to pool-friendly cups. I loved the drawer and cabinet labels. The house is fully stocked with bath towels and pool towels. Location was peaceful — minimal road noise. You couldn’t hear anyone walking in the home (appreciated the door open/close chimes!). Ample seating inside and out. Easy drive into town, tons of restaurants nearby, and a quick jaunt to the Palm Springs Tramway for hiking to the San Jacinto Peak. I’ve been to Palm Springs several times and this house has, hands down, been my favorite place to relax.
