Welcome to paradise! This custom built luxury estate is located just minutes from downtown Palm Springs. With four spacious bedrooms, this 3,000 square foot home is situated on an enclosed three quarter acre lot providing complete privacy. This estate provides all the modern amenities, comforts and elegant appointments. Views of the San Jacinto Mountains from the back yard are breathtaking!
When you enter this residence, the sound of the waterfall feature is sure to calm your nerves. You will feel a sense of openness entering the living room as you view the unbelievable pool and backyard looking through the vanishing pocket doors that merge the indoor and outdoor living! The living room contains a step down bar complete with sink/refrigerator/icemaker and barstools. A leather sofa, a 50' LCD TV and a surround sound system completes this beautiful entrance. A formal dining room with seating for up to eight people is next to the living room.
The private backyard contains one of the largest free-form salt water pools in Palm Springs! It is surrounded by lush landscaping including an array of palm trees, queen palms, mesquite trees and grass. Features include a beach entry, tanning ledge, bench seating, a raised spa, multiple spillways, a double-sided waterfall, and multi-color lighting. Additionally, there are five bar stools inside the pool next to a swim up fire pit. This is truly a phenomenal pool!
Also in the backyard is a sunken beach sand volleyball pit. There is a full basketball court and a three-hole putting green. A large fire pit with bench seating accommodates ten people and is a great place to relax and have a glass of wine while taking in the view of the mountains. There is also a BBQ island with a 52' gas grill with additional components.
The 720 sq. ft. covered entertainment area in the backyard contains a cocktail bar, refrigerator, ice cooler, sink, TV, and Kegorator. Fourteen barstools surround the granite top counter.
This vacation home is perfect for an array of functions including photo and movie shoots, weddings, corporate events/retreats, extended rentals or simply a relaxing getaway with friends or family. Please contact the owner for inquiries and/or additional photos of the estate.

When I arrived at this sprawling Palm Springs estate, I knew that I was in for a “beary” relaxing weekend. I took one step inside and I was greeted by the trickling sounds of a lovely wall fountain— just like my home in the woods! Ahhhh, peace at last.
The home is 4 bedroom, 3 ½ bathroom house so it’s plenty big for you and your cubs in tow. Everyone can find something to enjoy, whether it’s cooking up a feast in the chef’s kitchen, sitting by the fireplace in the living room, or exploring the backyard wonderland. I personally went straight to the back and enjoyed a game of beach volleyball with the family.
After the game, the cubs jumped into the gorgeous freshwater pool and that was my cue to hibernate. ‘Bear’ in mind, we had an extremely long flight, so I was quite jetlagged! I sank into the king size bed and the surround sound system lulled me to sleep. What astounded me most about this house was how cozy and warm it is considering its size— the cubs could be on one side playing while the rest of us were on the other side enjoying the fireplace.
This property truly has something for everyone and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

We came down from Canada to have our destination wedding at the Galvan Estate in March of 2013. We booked this property site unseen and the property was exactly as photographed and described. Palm Springs is an awesome area for a destination wedding! Our guests were happy getting away from the snow and enjoying the Palm Springs area as well as our wedding at the estate. The estate easily accommodates the ceremony as well as the reception which was very convenient for all of our guests. We had approximately 50 guests, but the property could easily handle many more. The pool was a hit for both pre and post wedding gatherings with friends. Fun and relaxed week and wedding! We would recommend this property for weddings or other gatherings.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway, families with teenagers.

The Galvan Estate was the perfect venue for our daughter's wedding. This home is AMAZING! We were able to have the rehearsal dinner around the outdoor bar area where we showed a video of the bride and groom growing up. We held the wedding on the volleyball court and the reception dinner on the basketball court. Everything was perfect, the kitchen, the pool and the view. The owner checked in with us to make sure everything was going well and if we needed anything. We highly recommend this home to anyone for any occasion! We would love to return for a family vacation!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with teenagers.

This is an amazing property. There are a lot of things to do in Palm Springs, but outside of playing golf, there is no reason to go anywhere else. Well, maybe you will want to go for a long massage after playing basketball, volleyball, ping pong, fussball and swimming laps in the 60 ft pool. Oh, did I mention there is a putting green :) The Galvan Estate has it all and the furnishing and amenities are first class. The kitchen has everything you could want for a gourmet meal or a quick snack. The perfect place for a long, fun relaxing weekend!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway, families with teenagers.

We go somewhere fun/nice at least once a month and this was one of our best vacations ever. Normally, we're out seeking adventure and checking out the sites, and from the moment we arrived, we didn't want to leave the house. So, we didn't - and we had a BLAST! All three days/nights, we spent the entire time playing on the b-ball court, sand volleyball court, pool, hot tub, playing pickelball, ping pong, and foosball. And the nights at the outdoor bar and sitting around the fire-pit was so relaxing and fun. I give this home an A+, 11 out of 10 and couldn't recommend it more. You will NOT be disappointed, book your stay now and count down the days until the time of your life!Recommended for: Families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

When we arrived we were blown away by the house. Bedrooms and bathroom were perfect for our family. the master bedroom and bath were amazing. The back yard was just perfect. Basketball, beach volleyball, pool, hot tub, fire pits, bar, barbeque grill, and games kept the adult children totally entertained. We had a party for 120 people and it was a perfect setting. When the guests walked in they could not believe that we had rented such a perfect house. The landlord was very attentive to our every need. A great time was had by all.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with teenagers.

We celebrated my father's 70th birthday for the weekend and had such a fun time at Galvan Estate. Not only was the backyard phenomenal for our kids, it was equally fun for us adults as well! The pool has many features that just entice the kids to play for hours. I have a toddler who loved to walk around the shallow shelf by the water poppers and we could sit nearby without worry. The adjustable basketball nets were perfect for letting us feel like we were that good! The house was extremely well kept and clean. I very impressed by this, because it didn't feel like a rental at all. The modern decor was beautiful and the kitchen area large for many cooks. Arnold was more than accommodating and even though he must work with many people, he made us feel like we were the only ones that mattered. He gave exceptional hospitality in making sure everything was as we needed before, during and even after our stay. I highly recommend Galvan Estate. I know you'll enjoy it as much as we did.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

This vacation house was a gem! Our stay was magnificent and we had everything we could have possibly needed. Arnold was a fantastic host and he really took care of us! We particularly loved the outdoor amenities (pool,beach volleyball, barbecue, etc). The rooms were super nice with TVs, and everything was clean and comfortable. I truly have no bad things to say about this place or the ownership. I would strongly recommend the Galvan Estate to any group looking for an extremely fun and memorable vacation! Thank you Arnold and the Galvan Estate crew! Amazing. A+ all the way.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, pet owners, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with teenagers.

This place had it all. The rooms were nice, the kitchen was fantastic and there are almost too many TVs. While the interior has so much to offer in terms of comfort and luxury, the backyard is a one of a kind area you will not get anywhere else. My whole group were outside day and night enjoying all of the amazing amenities. The place was spotless and the renters were incredibly easy to work with. No doubt we will be coming back next year even if I have to invent some kind of event to get down there.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
