Had every thing we needed and the staff was very helpful. The location is very convenient. We met several nice people around the pool.

Beds are comfortable, kitchen is well equiped. pool and BBQ area are very nice and there are bicycles that you can use to explore the area. It is within easy walking distance of... More

My husband and I just spent 4 days at the Desert Vacation Villas. We had the most wonderful time! We stayed in one of their recently remodeled rooms and it far exceeded our expectations! It was nice to have a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms (we didn't even use the 2nd room, since it was just the two of us) and... More

Palm Springs Desert Vacation Villas...Rats Rats and more rats . My wife and I where bitten by rats in our sleep. The stench of dead rats in traps everywhere was unbearable combined with the sweet Orange and citrus blossoms all night long. No screens on any windows because the climbing rats have destroyed them. If you are a fan of... More

We have never had a rodent problem in the 23 years that our Executive Housekeeper has been at the resort. We, like all the resorts and hotels in the desert, employ excellent pest control companies who place traps outside the resort to capture any desert rodents. No one at the front desk recalls you going to the local hospital for... More

All the rooms are two-bedroom, two bath. One room has two single beds, perfect for our daughter. The "master" has a one king size. It was a really large king size. The TV in the bedroom was not flat screen. At least, I don't think it was. The one in the living room may have been. The master bathroom was... More

Was lead to believe that there were 2 large double beds and 2 singles, no mention that one was a sofa bed. With a party of 6, we ended up on the sofa bed, 2 very uncomfortable nights and not a lot of sleep. Arrived late the office was closed but they hadn't left enough pillows for one each or... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay at Desert Vacation Villas. It was perfectly located on the north side of the main Palm Springs thoroughfare and within walking distance to everything you needed including public transportation. I loved the fact that bicycles were available to guests. The lodging was clean, modern, and full of light. I would definitely recommend staying here.... More

We spent a week at the Desert Vacation Villas for our first trip to Palm Springs. Through the Armed Forces Vacation Club we got a 2b/b apartment for $367.00, all in. Our space was great - big for just two people but fully equipt with everything, especially the kitchen. There is a nice pool but we were so busy exploring... More

Nice place to stay for a large group wanting to be together in one area. Very clean. Having a full kitchen was nice. Amenities are limited to pool, spa and wifi, but still ok for the price. Most of the staff were wonderful. Did have one lady get snarky with us when the air condition shut off on a 102... More

My family just returned home from a 4 night getaway trip to Palm Springs. When we first drove up to the Desert Vacation Villas it reminded us of an old and small apartment complex. Our opinion didn't change much once inside the unit, it was dated. The only real amenity is a nice but small pool. They have some cute... More
