Well appointed functional home. Five minute drive from downtown PS. By far the nicest feature is the back patio, fire table, lounge chairs, pool, hot tub, bar, and sitting area. The pool table opens onto the patio as well. No toys or balls or rackets for younger kids, but for multiple couples or a girls vacation this was great.

It's a little bare bones, but super comfortable and perfect for what we needed at a really great price. The pool/hot-tub were amazing.

It's a lovely house with lots of space for large groups (we were one extended family), but overall we found the stay to be less than satisfactory for a number of reasons:
- there was no book that explained how things work in the house. I've rented dozens of homes in the desert and have never had this happen. We figured out how to do things and also reached out to the Vacasa contact, but that shouldn't be necessary.
- the house simply wasn't equipped as one would expect for a home of this stature and price. Cookware was limited and what was there was low quality, wine glasses didn't match and were mainly plastic (for outdoor use), there was no bottle opener, only one cutting board, no baking sheets, no dishrack, etc.. Vacasa came and supplied some of these items but that should be done in advance. The fact that we were there for Thanksgiving exacerbated these issues - so not all people visiting would be as impacted as we were.
- In general it felt like the house wasn't ready to be rented yet. In addition to the points above, there were boxes for the house equipment throughout the storage areas.
- there is no outdoor cooking area. The outdoor areas are lovely, but I find it bizarre that there is no grill. While communicating with Vacasa leading up to the visit they stated that the house had a BBQ area - only to find out while en route that local insurance regulations precluded an outdoor grill (which we'd planned on using to help with thanksgiving food prep). Between the lack of grill and misinformation from Vacasa this was a major issue.
- The local Vacasa reps were nice and helpful, but the centralized communication from HQ was confusing - as mentioned above. Moving forward I'll narrow my rental searches to local firms only.
One other thing to note is that the house has a ton of mirrors (like every possible inch of wall space) and white gloss tile floors - which are cool from a design standpoint, but are actually a bit disorienting.
