Glorious, gorgeous, great!
This house is divine and is absolutely packed with everything you could possibly need, together with thoughtful instructions on how everything works. Wonderful location and neighbourhood. The pool and backyard area is just perfect. We had some issues with the check in process and embarrassingly called the previous letting agent for the door code as the details left for us in the home were out of date. We were a bit disappointed that we couldn’t access the spa controls to turn on the jets and were told by the agent that we hadn’t paid extra for that. This wasn’t clear in the listing (which specified $250 per day for heat, but we just wanted the bubbles). A tiny issue in an otherwise fantastic stay. Thank you Flamingo House and your owner - 1952 was a very good year indeed!

Disappointing - Items not working and not as advertised
A friend and I stayed at this property for five days for MLK weekend in Jan 2023. We had some sun, some rain and cooler temps. We looked forward to sitting outside in the back and inside to talk and write. We were visiting another friend in our Writers' Group. We were disappointed the owners haven't kept the property up to date and many things are deteriorating. We were disappointed with Vacasa, as property managers for not doing simple repairs like attaching door knobs and keeping lights working. There were post-its noting what wasn't working! We sent this list to Vacasa of the problems: 1) The main bathroom and bedroom (by pool) smell like rotten sewage and mold. We are allergic to mold and had allergies during our stay. Those rooms are only useable when the windows are open, which is cold and a safety hazard since they are at ground level. 2) Driveway gate entry keypad doesn’t work. Vacasa knew, but gave us a code at in person check-in and let us try. When I called Vacasa back I learned it didn't work (?!) 2B) Driveway gate entry key fob in house only will open or close once. If we wanted to open, leave the driveway, and then close the gate, the gate would not close. Gate box does not respond to the key fob on any second request. 3) Issues around the house were simply noted on post-it notes around the house, as if that made the issues ok. 4) The only outside door that works to the backyard (two others were locked down) had this post-it: “Door handle falls off.” Once in back, it’s difficult to get back in because the handle falls off (it only needs a set screw). 5) Important inside lights do not work. Some are noted on a post-it. The main kitchen light is out. So is laundry room/back hall light, which is the only light at night to the second bathroom. The exterior driveway/breezeway light, visible from the kitchen, laundry room and bathroom, is motion detect and strobes when on, which is distracting. 6) The listing leads one to believe that guests will have two bedrooms with two fully working bathrooms, "perfect for two couples.” However, one bathroom is across the house. The main bathroom’s “soaker tub” is a one-person wall tub with a note on it “tub is not operational”; its plumbing and tap are closed-off. 7) The bath's retro "features" are rotting and deteriorating. Overall, the house is not as advertised. Location is good, backyard and pool are nice, but can not carry this amount of issues. Repairs and updates are needed.

Cute but dated
The description on VRBO is misleading regarding the bathrooms. There are 2 but neither is attached to a bedroom and 1 is on the other end of the house off the laundry and very tiny. They also need to be updated especially the showers. The house is comfy but very cluttered especially the kitchen cabinets. We had a water line in the bathroom break and had a lot of water which we cleaned up but the carpet was still wet 5 days later. They were responsive to get things fixed but we spent the day laundering all the towels we used to mop up the water. I would hope that Vacasa would refund part of our stay and not just a credit fot future stays. On a positive note the pool, hot tub and backyard were wonderful.

Xmas stay 2022 in Palm Springs
Tahquitz River Estates Fri, Dec 23 - Wed, Dec 28 Property ID 2817351 Flamingo House in Tahquitz River Estates | Saltwater Pool & Mountain Views. It's a lovely property, clearly well loved and maintained. For us it was a great escape from Seattle's snow storm. We had a lovely stay, area is close to great hikes , and private hot tub and pool were very enjoyable every day after long hikes. It is well stocked for cooking . We would recommend paying for the heating of the pool, we used it cold, however would probably ended up using it even more if it was heated. FYI the control of the hot tub is outside not indoors. Enjoy, Dan and Family

A few issues
We did encounter a few problems. While the management company answered the phone quickly the response time was a bit lacking. We were unable to obtain the gate code until late in the evening even tho we were assured someone would call us back within the hour - we called at 4pm and I had to call them back around 8pm. According to the handbook at the property there was supposed to be a remote for the spa but we never found it. They promised to send someone the next day but no one came. The issue was resolved that afternoon when we were told there was a control pad on the fence near the BBQ. The Wi-Fi network is not listed correctly in the handbook. There are many many many remote controls some of which control the A/C for each room. They suggested we set everything to 76, which we did, but the bedrooms only reached 79 and the main space never got below 86. It’s an older home, well cared for and very clean, in a very quiet neighborhood. It is close to everything and stocked very well.

We loved this property. Once you get used to all the remote controls, it’s a quiet, relaxed house with an owner that clearly cares for the place. We had initial issues with the hot tub, but Ann from Turnkey responded promptly to our request and quickly solved our problem. We’d definitely stay here again!

Outdoor space and location!
The house is a bit dated but very clean inside. Pretty much exactly like the pictures. The location was great. The outdoor space is really the best part about this house. It was so spacious and relaxing! The patio surface is getting a little worn and could use some help but it didn't stop us from enjoying the space. 2 downsides: lots of remotes inside, just made things more complicated than they needed to be and when the pool heat was on the temp was perfect but I had the text everyday to remind the owner to turn it on. The property management company was always very responsive though.

Flamingo House in Tahquitz River Estates
What a vacation! Overall we loved our stay at Flamingo House. The house is very clean, relaxing, with all the accommodations you would need in your own home. It is within walking distance of some very good restaurants and just a short drive to local points of interest. We were disappointed to find that the spa is out of order, especially after reading in other reviews that it had been fixed. There are labels on the spa control pad that state that the spa is out of order. If you have time to make a label for something out of order, you have time to list in the listing that it is out of order. One other small issue was the overwhelming use of air fresheners. There were two plug-in type air fresheners in the living room and one auto spray type in the kitchen. We immediately unplugged the two in the living room but it took us the second day to find the one in the kitchen. We ended up putting it on the front porch until we checked out. If you have a sensitive nose or allergies, be prepared to find these and put them out immediately. All in all, this was a great house and we had a great time in Palm Springs.

What did the Flamingo get when it kissed the toad?
The Flamingo house was a perfect rental; it had everything we needed. The backyard and patio were our home base for the 4 days we stayed in Palm Springs. The pool and jacuzzi were heated, and ready to go upon arrival. The central location made it easy to get around. Super comfortable beds and squeaky clean amenities. The only thing missing was lights in the bathroom next to laundry room, and the kitchen could benefit from updated lighting. I’d most definitely stay here again!
