Guest Reviews

The property manager was extremely helpful.

The house was perfect. We would definitely stay here again!

Upon our arrival Kenny greeted us and provided a lovely Welcome Basket from 'On The Mark', Palm Springs' gourmet market. It was such a thoughtful gesture and the items were delicious; just what was needed to start happy hour! Kenny's sense of humor and dry wit really came through in person, and we felt like his welcome tour of the home was an added amenity- not just business as usual. He also provided excellent recommendations for a local concierge service who helped make arrangements for us prior to our arrival. His recommendation was a lovely, professional, and incredibly accommodating person, who enhanced the overall trip.

I don't think I even have enough space to write all the glowing reviews I have for Villa Butera. I've been coming to Palm Springs since I was a child- staying in condos, boutique hotels, personal homes and nice Vrbo rental properties. Clearly, I didn't understand what a Palm Springs vacation could be... because once setting foot on the grounds of Villa Butera, I could never imagine wanting to stay ANYWHERE else. This pool is exquisite. While it looks stunning in the photos, they still somehow don't capture how meticulously it's designed. The shape and dimensions, the caliber of the concrete and stonework, the serenity of the waterfall, the perfect placement of the hot tub, along with ideal, lush landscaping that allows for the exact right amount of shade and direct sunlight... all of those elements make this *the* most remarkable residential swimming pool. We spent a majority of our time outdoors; lounging in the plush and cheery furniture, eating outside on the back patio table with heat lamps, or drinking coffee in our master bedroom adjacent rocking chairs on the private patio. That being said- for the time we did spend indoors we were ensconced in luxurious, fun, tasteful furnishings, sumptuous beds & textiles, and a perfectly appointed kitchen. Also, something that wasn't really discussed in the Vrbo description but ended up being a HUGE and surprising highlight for us; one of the most compelling, erudite and beautifully curated coffee book collections we've ever encountered. We all spent our evenings discovering new photographers, artists, and designers and drinking in all of the collections' eye candy. It was a real aesthetic treat. Kenny was the consummate host and property manager- his communications leading up to our visit were always prompt, helpful, and comprehensive. I'd give 50 stars, if I could.

Thank you for a brilliant stay at the villa butera. Everything was perfect We will be back!

As a property manager myself, I was impressed with Kenny's detailed and timely communication throughout the process. He was pleasant and communicative, and I arrived feeling well prepared for what to expect. Stephen was fabulous as well; his excitement is contagious! They make a great team.

This stay could not have been better. The home was lovely and the art and balance of warm touches with Palm Springs cool (in all definitions) was just perfect for me and my kids. We can't wait to go back. Make sure you visit On the Mark as well for gourmet goodies! Thank you, Kenny & Stephen, see you next time!

This is the 2nd Dry Heat home I have rented and Kenny is very professional and responsive during the booking process and helped us downsize to a smaller property after our initial booking. The addition of the concierge service was great. We did not need much assistance but I know if we had, Stephen would have been a great help.

I hosted 3 ladies on their first real PS visit and the house really set the stage for them to feel the chilled vibe of PS. We used the outdoor dining with a private chef and it is a beautiful setting for dinner. Everybody raved about the house and I can't wait to try another Dry Heat home next year! Thanks to Kenny and his team.

Property manager available and helpful, met us personally for tour.

Terrific property, perfect, brand new condition, super well appointed kitchen, great neighborhood. Well decorated and a joy to have a master bathroom in each bedroom. EV charger!

This property was even better in person than online! We can't wait to return!

This house is gorgeous and decorated so beautifully. We celebrated a birthday with family and we spend all the time closer to the house and in the pool. We will not forget and come back whenever we can.

This is a 10/10 spot. Can't wait to come back.

The property was perfect for a long weekend! Perfectly clean, comfortable, well located and well stocked with everything we needed. We would definitely rent again!

Everyone was courteous responsive and delivered

We all enjoyed our time relaxing and felt at home

The property was beautiful. Often the pictures do not represent the house, in this case it did. This was our first pandemic trip and it was perfect. We had excursions in the morning and enjoyed the pool in the afternoon. The firepit was the icing on the cake. We hope to visit again.

I rarely write reviews but this property deserves a glowing one. We were looking for a comfortable place to meet our son, his wife, and our one year old granddaughter for a long weekend. Location was important and we were not disappointed Its close to great restaurants and shops in downtown Palm Springs but is tucked up against the mountains with great views in every direction. Plus it was serenely quiet. The house itself exceeded expectations. The owners love of design and attention to detail was found in every space. It was a privilege to be in someones home rather than a rental with no personality. We love to cook and this was the most well equipped kitchen weve ever had when renting. The owners have anticipated every need. The only hiccup was the thermostats on the Wolf ovens seem to need recalibration - things took twice as long to cook as they should have. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and outdoor seating as well as lovely walks and hikes. Its the kind of property we hope to rent again one day soon.

As always, Kenny was fantastic to work with, we only stay at his properties.

We had a very nice stay at Villa Estrella. The Villa is beautifully designed in a Spanish style with every amenity you would expect.. The outdoor area is fantastic, the pool and spa were perfect for daytime and evening use. For anyone in the mood to cook, the kitchen is very well equipped.

Kenny was great to rent from, and always prompt to reply if we had any questions. Loved the welcome gift basket! Very nice touch. Stephen (concierge) was also very helpful during the stay.

My friends and I went to PS to celebrate a 50th birthday. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The house and views from the backyard are beautiful. The house is well equipped and had everything we needed for the week. The neighborhood is quiet and great for walking, and close to many hiking trails. I wouldn't hesitate to rent this house again! Loved it.

Kenny communicated appropriately and check-in was easy.

The pictures accurately describe this location. It is gorgeous, in a quiet neighborhood, and close to downtown. I would come here again. Our entire group enjoyed it.

Our host was a superstar in meeting us when we drove out from LA and checking on all our needs.

Fabulous property! Beautiful area! We hope to stay there again. You will love it!

Loved it, would love to visit again for an extended visit

We thoroughly enjoyed the property - very quiet location and the back yard pool and hot tub were fantastic. Also plenty of space for the 8 of us who stayed. Awesome!

Great location and accommodations

We had 9 family members together for a wedding. House was very roomy with a beautiful pool setting. Enough room for everyone to spread out. House was exactly as advertised which was fabulous!

The Property Manager was very responsive to our needs throughout the rental process.

The home, property and location exceeded our high expectations.

Stephen made check in so simple!

Had a great visit with two families of four with elementary age kids. The pool was the perfect size for them to enjoy, and the layout and bedrooms were exactly what we needed. The views from the backyard were amazing! The kitchen was perfectly stocked with all we needed. An excellent visit!

The house is absolutely beautiful. every amenity you can think of. The beds were extremely comfortable, plenty of time and beach towels. fully stocked kitchen with everything you need. stunning pool area and backyard. I cant recommend highly enough.

Lovely little condo. Easy to walk downtown. Stairs are a bit of a struggle when carrying luggage up & down. Overall a good stay.

Desert Oasis! The property was a spacious flowing house that provided comfort, visual pleasure and fun. No need to look around for anything. It provide all that we required.
