When we arrived the charm of this beautiful home embraced us. We loved the modern feel mixed with mid century design. Our trip was amazing and staying here made it even more special. Although the weather did not cooperate as we might have hoped we really enjoyed cozying up to the outdoor fire and taking dips in the hottub. Thank you for making your home avaiable for us to enjoy. We will be back again.

We had a wonderful time here celebrating my boyfriend's birthday. We spent the whole day in the pool with the waterfals flowing and the outdoor speakers on. Very quiet neighborhood, clean house, the most detailed and helpful "Guide to the House/Neighborhood" I have ever seen. At night, we floated on a big blowup raft in the pool and looked at the stars. It was the perfect getaway. Owners are very accomodating and friendly.

Very pleasant stay

Arrived in the middle of the summer (Temp was 114 degree's, but it was "A dry heat!") With our 2 dogs. The house cooled down quickly. The concrete floors were ideal for the dogs to rest on after a long day out exploring all that Palm Springs had to offer. We thought the amenities and price point were ideal. Would certainly use the house again whenever Palm Springs beckons us.

The perfect place for a desert getaway

Four of us (two couples) spent a very relaxing, comfortable weekend in the house and we often wish we were still there! We grilled up a storm under the stars in the evening and relaxed in the sun by the pool during the day. The house is extremely private, quiet, and peaceful and has everything you could possibly need. The property has obviously been very lovingly maintained and the owners were a true pleasure to deal with. I can't write enough positive things about this house and our overall rental experience. If you're looking for a quintessential mid-century getaway in the desert, we highly recommend this place!

Palm Springs Modern Desert Getaway

Have you ever walked into a house that said welcome home please rest,relax and enjoy all I have to offer? This mid century modern treasure will do just that. The architectural detail, clean and open design and updated amenities give you a taste of the delightful Palm Springs life. Everything needed is provided and thoughtfully supplied by the owners. The view of the changing colors reflected off of Mt San Jacinto and the charming twinkle lights of the tramway at night entertain the eye. Centrally located, convenient to everything around the area and very quiet neighborhood of wonderfully restored Alexander mid century modern homes. We were able to go out for a day trip into the desert and return easilly and comfortably. However, the pool with waterfalls, hot tub, and outdoor fire pit in a very private and inviting landscape may entice you to remain at home. Recommend 'The Cowboy Way' for BBQ and 'Johns' for very good diner both nearby on Palm Canyon drive. The Spa Casino has a great buffet. This house and property offers everything needed for a wonderful, relaxing vacation.

Owner response:Thanks, Jim!

Mid Century Oasis

My husband and I stayed here last weekend and it was fantastic. The house is comfortable, stylish and in super great condition. We felt compelled to invite friends over before going out to dinner just so they could see how awesome the house was. The location is quiet, convenient to downtown and literally blocks from few fun bars and restaurants. Paul [landlord] is terrific and we really are amazed at what he has done with this house. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Excellent Getaway

I contacted several owners in the Palm Springs area, and Paul responded within an hour. He was extremely prompt, thorough and conscientious during the entire process. We had an emergency that threatened our visit, but Paul stayed in contact and flexible during the days prior to the visit. As it turns out, we ended up visiting Palm Springs, and Paul could not have been more accommodating. Upon arrival, there was a nice note from the owners and a bottle of wine (the visit was to celebrate two momentous birthdays). The house itself is beautifully furnished, and everything we needed was there. We came with our dogs, and it was the perfect place to bring them to. We, along with them, immediately acclimated to the house. If you are fan of midcentury modern design, you will love this place. If you aren't a fan, by the time you leave, you will be. The owners remodeled the home based on the principles of midcentury design, and it's great to see a house brought back to life the way this house was. Paul and Dean did a great job, and the house lived up to my expectations — and more. The photos are a nice representation of the home, but the real thing is better! Everything was clean, and everything we needed for a relaxing vacation was within reach. Guides to area attractions and restaurants were a nice touch, and a brief history of the home was an educational bonus. We can't wait to come back. Thanks, Paul and Dean!

we stayed here for two nights for our anniversary. we brought our two small children with us, and we all had a great time. the house was surprisingly easy to be in with small children and everything was clean and very well cared for. the owners just restored the house and it is clear how much quality and love they poured into the remodel. location was totally good for us, and the owner, paul, was such a pleasure to deal with. pool is gorgeous. really, no complaints at all.

Fabulous Desert getaway house. No detail is forgotten in this charming restored post modern home. We had a wonderful family week lounging by the pool, fires in the evening. Every thing you need is here and the home is in immaculate condition. Decor gives you the old palm springs feel, where is Bob Hope? Can't wait to go back.
