Can this be my permanent summer home?! I recently went to Palm Springs for the ultimate “blogger bachelorette” trip for my friend Amanda, and we had to have to have the ultimate bachelorette pad. Our ah-mazing HomeAway Palm Springs house did not disappoint… We may have even had a little too much fun at the house after several bottles of rosé, haha.

I’ve never used HomeAway, but I know tons of people who LOVE it! I’m sure many of you already know how the website works, but basically it’s a huge database of incredible houses for rent. Whenever you’re traveling with a big group of people it’s so much easier and wayyyyy more fun when everyone is all together in one house instead of several hotel rooms. This isn’t my first rodeo with bachelorette trips this year so believe me when I tell ya to rent a house…

One of the reasons I love renting a house with a big group of my friends is because I love to cook and play hostess! So the first thing I look at when I’m on HomeAway is what type of kitchen the place has because that’s where a LOT of time is spent. Our Palm Springs HomeAway house had a legit kitchen with a good supply of wine glasses (obviously important…).

The next thing I look at when thinking about renting a house on HomeAway is the pool area. Clearly from the above pictures you can see the pool was a very important part of our trip! I loved that there were so many seating areas in the backyard at this house. You never had to worry about someone not having a place to lay out, and the upstairs seating areas were the perfect spot for our morning coffee.

Overall, this house was the BEST for our weekend getaway to Palm Springs. I’d definitely book it again if I’m planning another girls trip!
