Map & Owner's Profile
1936 Charming Spanish Casa and Casita--Luxuriously Updated
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Ruth Hardy Park
I was visiting Palm Springs with my cousin, who lives out in the high desert.
We had a great time hiking, dinners, the Thursday street fair, and the usual girl talk.
I made the "mistake" of picking up a real estate catalog on the way home. When I saw the picture of this charming house, it was love at first sight.
I am thankful that our family now has a lovely place to go to relax,. We hope our guests will enjoy it as much as we do.
The Unique Benefits at this House
This home is a little private paradise blocks from the "action" in downtown Palm Springs and a block from Ruth Hardy Park.
Or a short drive to the Tram, airport (5 minutes), hiking, casinos, golf courses, more shopping.
After a hard day on the golf course or shopping at the outlet malls, you are back at home for a short swim, reading beside the fountain in the backyard, or preparing a special meal on the grill.
Maybe relaxing in the spa with your favorite beverage is all you'll be up for after all that fun during the day.
Open-air courtyard with view of mountains. Get coffee at Koffi. Cafe Chocolate for delicious treats, gelato, lunch--tell owners Jessie and John I say hello. More stores.
Palm Canyon Drive is closed off each Thursday evening 7-10pm for a street festival with local artisans, produce stands, live entertainment and more. From Alejo to Barristo Roads.
Owner's Map of Ruth Hardy Park
My husband and I live in Washington, DC. I am a local, having lived inside the beltway (since it's been built, that is) all my life.
We have two sons, away at college. We also have several guinea pigs and box turtles, but they plan to stay at home.
How did we get to Palm Springs? I re-connected with my California relatives several years ago when our family spent a couple of summers in the San Diego area.

Stayed here July 2010. Sally the owner was wonderful to work with until we had problems. Air was stuck on 86. Called her Wed and she came over and said she would put it at 80 and see if that worked. Told me that the air conditioner needed to be replaced. Thurs we baked when it was stuck at 86. Finally checked out 3 days early when we were promised air guy would be there and never came. Cut our vacation short 3 days and was never refunded. Was told via text that after we left and turned air off maintance showed up and it was at 79 and that was normal for Palm Springs. Very poor management and a huge disappointment. She also owns a house down the street where half the air in the house didn't work. Proceed with caution.
Owner response:I have installed a new Carrier Infinity HV/AC system in the house that works great. The casita has its own very eficient system that is also excellent at heating and cooling. When you visit, please keep the French doors closed as much as possible when cooling or heating the house. Even the best system can't cool down the whole desert!

I can't say enough good things about this property. We just spent a week there and really enjoyed it. We rent a lot of vacation homes across the country. This home was beautifully appointed. The pictures really don't do it justice. The kitchen was really well equipped, not only with what you wanted, but good quality stuff. The bath towels were thick and luxurious; the linens were super comfortable. The outdoor living areas were beautiful. The pool and hottub were really well maintained; the lounges by the pool great. Appliances were terrific. The house is really well organized--everything is labeled. The second outdoor space was beautiful as well. It was close to the Ruth Hardy park which was great for my kids; an easy walk downtown. They have bikes in the garage, but you won't want to use them for any significant distance. I would say the block the house is on is "transitional" but overall fine. The property is very private. We never saw or heard neighbors. We called the onsite property person (Samantha) once for toner for the printer and she was very responsive. It was our first time to Palm Springs; we'd go again. I would for sure rent this house again or recommend without any reservation to a friend. It was an easy walk to downtown--it was a walkable area. Easy car ride to groceries, indian canyons, etc. About 45 minutes to get to Joshua Tree. If you're on the fence, I'd encourage you to consider this property. Its clearly above average.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.

I brought some friends here for a ladies weekend get-away. It exceeded all of our expectations in every area. The house was absolutely fabulous: fruit trees in the backyard, luxuriously soothing waterfall and a beautiful lawn. Every room in the house opened up to the outside, like a private spa. Every detail is considered, the decor is very tasteful and reminiscent of old-world Europe. It's a cozy, warm and beautiful environment. The master bathroom has an incredible stone shower. The front pool area and tub are very private and the perfect place to relax. I really cannot say enough wonderful things about the house, it was like a private spa get-away. And to top it off, the owner and property manager are delightful.

This is a lovely home for a retreat in the desert! Definitely a 'charming Spanish casa' with a bit of island-style flare. Sophisticated yet relaxing. Amenities are very well thought out. Our family planned a trip together. Some of us stayed here, some stayed down the street at the owner's other beautiful home (#207852). Worked out quite well! Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful time. Very nice house, pool, hot tub, and neighborhood. I can't think of a more relaxing place. With the breath taking mountains, sweet smelling air, and very friendly people.

This was the most beautiful place that I have ever stayed at. When I got there I spent almost an hour walking around in complete awe. It's quiet , peaceful and absolutely gorgeous. It is tastefully decorated with the most elegant fixtures. The neighbors and service people (pool guy, lawn guy etc) are really friendly. Best vacation spot ever.
