McLean Company Rentals

We just spent a month at a great McLean rental in Palm Springs. The house we stayed in was terrific and C.J. from McLean was very accommodating.

Loved the house, loved the vacation and loved the personal touch Sherry C gave us. We’ve used McLean in the past and will continue to do so.

Our family just returned from a wonderful weekend in La Quinta — PGA West Arnold Palmer Unit. This property was truly a gem — wonderful views, a large kitchen, living area and bedrooms! Our party of 6 definitely had enough room to spread out! Each bedroom had an en-​suite bathroom! The pictures on the website were exactly what we found when we walked in! The location was great as my son was playing in a baseball tournament and we were between 3 different cities in the Palm Springs area. PGA West is tucked away in La Quinta, which we enjoyed and close enough to shopping (Ralphs & Costco).
The booking process and check-​in with McLean was very simple (which I appreciate). We did have a couple of questions when we arrived at the property, which were answered promptly by Rihanna. Check out was also easy — dropped of the key in lock-​box on our way out of town. This actually wasn’t detailed out in the check-​out procedures (wasn’t aware that the office wasn’t open on Sunday). But I had the lock-​box code from check-​in as I was not sure we would get into Palm Springs by 5 pm so made arrangements to have a late-​check in. Seriously not a big deal at all re: check-​out.
We typically stay at Rancho Las Palmas when we come to the desert but we spend a crap ton of money there. I wanted to save some money and opted for a condo rental instead. This was really a perfect option! We were able to enjoy the wonderful weather, watch some outstanding baseball and enjoy this lovely property at PGA West — Arnold Palmer!
Thank you again McLean Company Rentals — we look forward to renting with your team again!

The property was fantastic. Sherry was prompt in meeting us for check in. It was the weekend of my wedding and they went the extra mile to provide a card and champagne. Sherry even made sure to mail back a few items that were left in a bathroom. Job well done.

We just finished up our weekend at The Tuscany Fairway Estate, the home worked out well for our group of 5 couples. The home itself is situated on a beautiful property facing a private golf course definitely a house for large groups or parties. A pool, bar b q cabana, fire pits, huge 3 car garage with a great parking area. The layout of the whole house is interesting and something to consider if you need more privacy as 2 rooms share a bathroom, and another 2 as well. it worked out fine for us since the husbands showered earlier in the day and headed out to their convention and the wives were able to shower in shifts and get ready later in the day. There are 3 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms although there was a play room that could actually be another good sleeping area if you have small children. All in all the Company was easy to work with and efficient and dealing with CJ was great. Thank you for hosting a great weekend in a lovely home!

UPDATE:
After multiple unanswered emails and letters I took them to court and I won (see photo).
They haven’t paid the judgment yet, I will keep you posted on how this develops.

My extended family and I stayed in Burton Sunrise for Christmas in 2015. The property was excellent and the help of McLean’s staff in booking and checking in was superb. Paula Johnson helped us book the property and made sure that all of my questions were answered prior to booking. This was a very smooth process.
Brian was designated to help us check in and was very proactive in reaching out to us prior to our arrival. Importantly Brian was also very accomodative to our late arrival due to traffic, delays, etc.
The house was excellent and actually nicer than the pictures indicated. The hot tub and pool were clean and at a perfect temperature which was ideal given the high 50/​low 60 degree weather. The kitchen has everything we needed to prepare Christmas dinner which made us feel at home. All of the beds received good reviews from the family as did each private bathroom.
Checkout was a breeze and there were no additional fees or charges that were «slipped» in on us.
I highly recommend McLean Rentals as well as Brian and Paula. Great company made posible through great PEOPLE.

They really under promised and over delivered. what an amazing house and what an amazing time. there was a minor problem w a toilet and they took care of it asap. i highly recommend them. i really want to compliment Paula and Sherry for making our stay simple, easy and fun.
Thank you guys!

The team at McLean Property Rentals was great. We throughly enjoyed our stay in Palm Springs. They made everything seamless and were always extremely responsive and helpful. We hope to visit again! Thank you!

RE: 80 542 Philadelphia Avenue, Indio, CA
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a super friendly and informative property manager.
The house was very clean and well stocked with everything from towels to kitchen utensils.
We really appreciated the quiet gated neighborhood and the backyard with a pool and hottub was very private. The gas fire pit and BBQ area was an excellent added feature.
Checking out was a breeze.
5 stars to Mcclean Company Rentals!

The first thing that people said to us for our wedding at the Colony was «how did you find this place!‘
We’re wedding photographers ourselves (me now retired), but we shot a wedding in Rancho Mirage at some estate that I can’t remember, but it was amazing. We’ve seen many weddings over the years and all the while, we’ve been cherry picking what we liked, loved, hated etc. For us, our tight-​knit family and friends are big part of our relationship and it’s growth so we wanted a venue that could show our appreciation for them.
Logistically, my husband found this place google searching for «palm springs estate» and came across this vacation estate. We quickly looked into holding a backyard wedding and it affordable! I think it’s far better to spend on a venue that you can stay at for a couple days and enjoy it fully versus a couple of hours for your reception.
There was a few criteria we used to pick this place:
— Not too many weddings were done here (originality)
— Perfect Weather (couldn’t be too hot for my husband, who sweats at 69 degrees)
— NO TRAFFIC
— Feel like a vacation (we work really hard from home, so we need a proper break at the end of year)
— Didn’t have to decorate
— Friends and family could stay with us or just minutes down the road at local hotels.
Other than that, the best parts about the main house:
— the heated (bath like) pool, the spa had very powerful jets and got very hot (me like)
— the cleanliness. (no carpet = no allergies) YAS
— The hiking trail on the mountain has incredible views
— the beds are super comfy and firm enough for my back problems
— bathrooms are legit clean and they provide towels, pool towels and even soaps and lotions
The staff are incredibly nice and friendly as well.
Adrienne was such an amazing event coordinator. She really helped me throughout the whole planning process and is incredibly responsive and sweet (a big thing to look for in any vendor you work with for your wedding)
Dennis the concierge was so sweet and helpful as well. His welcome and goodbye throughout the check-​in and check out process really made our stay feel so homey.
We stayed for 3 nights and 4 days. Had a rehearsal dinner on a Thursday, wedding on Friday and chilled on through till Sunday. It was just amazing. Many times, I felt so overwhelmed with happiness I would just cry looking into the stars or the mountain that blocked the Palm Springs high winds.
It was so perfect. Even the smallest hiccups are now seen as perfect, because of how freaking perfect it felt. LOL Kevin and I loved it and are definitely going to make visiting the Colony a yearly thing for our wedding anniversary.

i was impressed with the service at McLean Company Rentals. Efficient, user friendly and excellent staff. We rented a house in Cathedral City. Paula and Brian were fantastic, check-​in and out were simple and the house was perfect for our family Thanksgiving in the desert. I will us McLean for our next trip! Thank you for making our stay so perfect.

I just wanted to give a shout out to Serena Sylvester the long term lease maintenance coordinator. She really came through on getting my leaky pool fixed.
I have lived in my rental for 2 years and have worked with quite a few different ladies at McClean that have come and go.
Serena is definitely the shining star, and a great new hire. Thank you for getting everything resolved in such a professional manner and really coming through!

I always rent properties when i plan vacation with my family. Rhianna & ceecee were always helpful everytime i have some questions. We rented the chino hills property. Its beautiful and perfect for our family.
House was clean and all the amenities we needed were there.
I will definitely use McLean next time a plan a trip with my family in palm springs.

Our family recently (06÷25÷15−06÷29÷15) stayed at the Movie Colony Contemporary house in Palm Springs. The house was PERFECT. It was very clean and modern looking. Brand new light fixtures and comfy modern furniture. It had a built in BBQ where we grilled and an outdoor gas fire pit. A/​C was very powerful. A spacious kitchen that has a lot of storage space for all your dry foods. Spacious living room & bedrooms. Also, the beds were SO comfortable.
Would definitely recommend this house!

We rented Colony29 from late April to early May 2015. McLean Property Rentals borders on a fraudulent operation — either that or negligent — not sure which is worse.
Colony29 is an absolutely stunning and beautiful property set in the foothills of Palm Springs. I celebrated my 50^th there with 24 family and friends. It was an amazing place. The grounds, the property itself, the location, the salt water pools. We rented the entire property, and had an amazing time that we will never forget. The grounds and facilities are lovely. The restoration of this property was very well done. The villas are beautiful and memorable in every way.
BUT…you cannot fully enjoy the experience with the stress surrounding the rental experience. And, I guarantee that you will have some, at some point in your rental experience with McLean Property Rentals!
The amenities suck. We asked several times about this — No soap, no shampoo, no dish soap, toilet paper was so scarce we had to share between properties, no paper towels, no dish towels, no dish clothes, no cleaning supplies whatsoever except 1 broom (yet you are threatened with fees if you don’t leave it exactly the way you found it), no coffee filters, etc., nothing. You are quite simply: on. your. own. IF this is the case, they should tell you up front, so you can shop for these things. But when you are renting a place for $ 7k/​night, you kind of expect to have a bar of soap, right? It’s not being unreasonable to expect a thing like that, right?!
You are rolling the dice by working with McLean Property Rentals, but ufortunately, they are the only way in and out of renting Colony29. This consistently felt like a fly by night company on the verge of bankruptcy — who knows, maybe they are?! I kept telling my husband how nervous I was renting from them; at every interaction, I got a sinking feeling of incompetence in the pit of my stomach.
Be prepared to pay $ 7−10k in up front deposits (which they must be using as cashflow to keep the operation afloat), which you may or may not get back, and these are in addition to the steep rental fees of the property itself (which would be worth it if you could guarantee you’d get your deposit returned). They will lie and stall. Be prepared.
PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Don’t go in entirely blinded by the beauty of Colony29.
According to their contract, you *should* get your deposit back within a month of renting, but it took us 7+ weeks of badgering, threatening, and social media shaming to make it happen. The first returned deposit check they sent to us BOUNCED — actually returned for non sufficient funds. Who does that? When was the last time you dealt with a REAL company that bounced a check? WTF?
Then we were told the check bounced because we had damage fees to the property which was not true, and they later agreed. (Take pictures of the property beforehand like you would do for a rental car.)
Then after a week+ more of phone calls, emails, threats of legal action, etc. we finally received our deposit returned. I consider it a miracle that we ever saw any of this money. We never did get the fees returned to us that were charged to us by our bank for the bounced check, etc… I’m writing this one off and moving on — thankful we saw the majority of our money back in the end.
Would I do it again? No. Next time, I would rent through Luxury Rentals. I wish Luxury Retreats owned Colony29 because they would do it justice.
McLean Property Rentals ruins this experience entirely and puts at risk the chance of others enjoying this magical and historic gem in Palm Springs, CA.

My wife and I had the privilege of staying at the Ventanna Del Sol property for two nights in May. This one bedroom Condo with private pool was exactly what we were looking for as a quick getaway before our next child arrives! The condo was immaculate, with all necessary linens and dishes included. The pool (our favorite part) was clean and well kept. The property was exactly as shown in the pictures online!
The ladies at Mclean were extremely helpful and professional. Communication prior to the trip was always timely. As someone who has never booked a private rental, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Mclean again. It was an amazing experience!

Great company awesome service. Great property.
House was clean and came with towels and toilet paper with cooking equipment.
Very responsive. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed at Burton Way Paradise and the house looked just like the pictures. It was clean and everything was functional. Great pool, dog friendly, close to the action — we had a blast and would stay there again.
Dennis the concierge was very friendly checking us in.
I was skeptical after reading all of the severe and negative reviews online, but we did not experience anything fraudulent or misleading.

People should be aware of what a creepy and unethical company these people are. I rented a property from these horrible people. The story is unbelievable. The roof on the property started to collapse. The piping under the building broke. There was terrible black mold in the unit. It doesn’t end there but you get the idea. All of my pleas to McLean for help went unanswered.
McLean’s business strategy is to put lipstick on a pig and sell it at top dollar.
Under doctor’s orders, I was told I had to remove myself from these conditions because the black mold was a health hazard to me. I gave McLean a 48-​hour notice to take action on the black mold and they did NOTHING. And remember, this is on a unit where the roof had also started to collapse. The entire unit could have experienced significant collapse at any time. McLean ignored every plea I extended to them.
In compliance with my doctor’s orders, I removed myself from the McLean property. Scrubbing down the unit and leaving it in pristine condition. It had been left for me with cat hair everywhere, women’s underwear all over the floor of the closet, a plugged-​up toilet and a whole host of other issues … they had obviously rented it to someone else between the time I looked at it and then rented it a few days later because someone had trashed it when I got there.
In retaliation for my leaving, McLean sent me a bill for thousands of dollars and reported me to the credit agencies.
I have doctor’s records and doctor bills documenting the black mold problem McLean subjected me to. Don’t let them slip this under the carpet.
These people are foul and I will never forget their sleazy, unethical, horrible business practices.
Rent from McLean? You’d have to be insane to consider it. DON’T WALK AWAY, RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
And consider if you still aren’t convinced, check out all the other one-​star reviews and horror stories about them here on Unilocal.McLean Rentals is a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE.
ADDITIONAL ADD ON NOTE:
Adding insult to injury, Mr. McLean has sought to add a pack of lies to my Unilocal review. I tried to type a DETAILED response to McLean’s pack of lies but Unilocal has a 5000 character limit here. Suffice it to say, Mr. McLean’s response is a shameful load of crap.
McLean is a HORRIBLE operation.
Burglarized & vandalized apartment? No response.
BLACK MOLD growing out of control? No response.
Roof collapsing? No response.
McLean is a terrible liar. Let the buyer beware.
If anyone wishes to get a line by line response to McLean’s lies, please contact me.
