Definitely enjoyed my stay at Michael's. The location is basically 5 minutes from all that is Palm Springs. The accommodations were very nice, very clean. The ease of in and out was fantastic. Will definitely stay there again. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to stay in the desert.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Michael's casita! It is just as described, with classic MCM retro touches. It was not warm enough to swim in the pool but the backyard was beautiful and private for relaxing. Michael was a great host, gave us lots of good recommendations and let us stay an extra night when our flight got canceled. I would recommend this place to any couple or solo travelers!

We absolutely loved our stay at Michael's Casita. Michael is a truly thoughtful and considerate host he has thought of every detail to make guests feel welcomed and at home. From the seamless check-in and helpful local tips, his hospitality really stands out. The location is fantastic: close enough to walk to all the excitement of downtown Palm Springs, yet tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood that feels like a private retreat. The yard and outdoor space are incredibly private and serene, making it the perfect spot to unwind after exploring the city. We especially enjoyed relaxing by the pool the water was refreshing and the mid-century setting felt very Palm Springs. The casita itself is beautifully appointed with authentic Mid-Century Modern touches and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. A perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and tranquility. We can't wait to return! 🌴☀🌈

Michael's Casita was just as listed, with a cool vintage Palm Springs vibe. It's the perfect location and convenient to the action, Palm Canyon Drive in the airport. Private and quiet. Big livingroom and bedroom, huge walk-in shower. I loved having access to the patio and even took a few dips in the gorgeous swimming pool. I will definitely rebook again with Michael.

Michael's warm welcome arrived in our detailed message, onboarding us to Palm Springs with all the information we needed to make this our paradise holiday! The casita's design, nestled in a secluded compound, was crafted to immediately wrap you in awe and nostalgia. The huge rain shower was the best luxe treatment for those who must have the resort adventure. Palm trees stood like colonnades to the infinity blue sky, whistling in the desert wind, as we floated in the sun drenched pool. We were just 5 minutes from everything...airport, food, grocery, Movie Colony, fun, and more. It was everything we'd hoped for, and we're already dreaming of returning to the desert moon again!

Michael's casita exceeded our expectations. Looks even better than the pictures. Super clean with a lot of nice touches. Even provided bottled water, along with coffee and other amenities. The property itself is an oasis. Got to meet the host Michael and enjoyed our conversation. He was kind and warm. Location was super close to everywhere we wanted to go. Will definitely book again.

My partner and I stayed at Michael's Casita for 4 nights. The house is just as described. Great and airy with a lovely area at the front and back to have coffee in the morning. If we did not have to get back for other commitments then we would have loved to have stayed longer. Michael is a lovely friendly host and came back to us if we needed anything extremely quick. We would definitely highly recommend to stay here. Next time we are in Palm Springs I will be checking out to see if Michael has availability. Rod & Chris

My partner and I had a great time at Michael's casita. The space is really spacious and has everything you'd want for a brief getaway. For us the real highlight was the private pool and yard, which was super relaxing and exactly what we were looking for. Michael was also a great host and always available if we needed anything or had questions. Highly recommend!

Michael is a gracious and welcoming host. My trip was sadly cut short due to family emergency, so I didn't get the full experience at the Casita, but it certainly was clean, comfortable, and well equipped.
