Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
VILLA AMELIA is a great value when comparing price and amenities to that of a hotel room or condo multi-plex. What could be better than your very own house that accommodates a family of six; a private, refreshing 15 x 30ft pool & spa with spectacular mountain views; and a location close to downtown and other attractions in the Coachella Valley?!
Located in a newly built subdivision just north of the bustle of downtown Palm Springs, Villa Amelia is still far enough away for quiet seclusion and total privacy. Elegant home décor includes leather furniture, slate tiled floors, a rustic stone fire place, a King and 2 Queen beds. Beach & bath towels, linens and bedding are all included. We offer 400-600 thread count sheets and down mattress pads for optimum comfort.
From the master bedroom, there are French doors leading to a private backyard and a sparkling 15 x 30ft. pool & spa with mountain views to the west. The pool includes a 10 inch tanning shelf, perfect for the little ones. The patio deck also includes out door dining for 6, and a stainless-steel BBQ Grill.
Indoor entertaining includes a 28" cable TV/DVD and stereo in family-room along with sofa-sleeper; the semi-formal dining area will comfortably seat 6; and the bright modern kitchen contains all the culinary amenities for home cooked meals. Large enough to accommodate 6 adults, this home is available for getaway weekends, long vacations, and special holidays.

The Unique Benefits at this House
What better way to enjoy sunny Palm Springs than floating in your very own private 15 x 13 foot pool with adjoining spa and spectacular mountain views to the west. Two blocks away is Albertson's grocery and shopping center for quick pick-ups on supplies, like fruit and mixers for your favorite daiquiri recipe (blender provided).
Outside of the property, I strongly suggest the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. It's the world's largest rotating tramcar and will take you to the top of Mt. San Jacinto 8,516 feet above the desert valley for magnificent views.

Owner's Map of Private Homes
I was born in the Cochella Valley and spent much of my childhood camping in Joshua Tree National Park, hiking Mt. San Jacinto and exploring the surrounding desert wildlife. Upon adulthood and after establishing my career as graphic designer, I jumped at the opportunity of buying a vacation home here. The desert and Palm Springs is the perfect place to find solitude when you want to get away from the city "rat-race." I know you will enjoy this property as much as I do.

My husband brought me here to celebrate our 6th Anniversary. It was a surprise, and the moment we stepped in - we were thrilled. As all previous guests have said, the Pool was the best part. It really was! This was the perfect get-a-way from our busy lifestyles. This was also my first time to Palm Springs. – We visited the tram which really is a “must see!” And don’t miss downtown and stopping for some Ben&Jerry’s ice-cream. Thanks for making our anniversary so relaxing and wonderful! Next time, we plan to come here with family & friends.

We were visiting from Orange County, not too far away. We were searching through the net when we found this place, Villa Amelia. The weather here is very hot, about 110 degrees every day which made the pool a desired place to be in. We got to hike some trails when we went up the tramway to the top of the mountain. Beautiful! - It was also about 30 degrees cooler up there than on the desert floor. Thursday evening, we went to the VillageFest. It was fun to walk Palm Canyon Drive (closed to traffic), view the city at night, and see all the interesting craft goodies. Our stay was very comfortable and relaxing. It was more than any hotel could offer for our big family. Thank you very much,

This is a great place to stay – we loved the pool and Jacuzzi with the mountain views. The house was wonderfully decorated. We really appreciated the duvet in the master bedroom, very fluffy! - Many thanks for the wine & cheese on our arrival; it was a very nice touch. All in all, it was great to be here and it was a real break from a big city like London (where we live). We’ll be back!

What a perfect desert oasis! Your home and all its fabulous amenities made for a terrific Spring break from dreary Chicago. We enjoyed the tram, Joshua Tree, Village Fest and especially the restaurant, Azul. The sun, Cacti, pool and spa, seclusion and daily visits by a hummingbird all contributed to a wonderful vacation. Exactly as advertised on the internet. Thank you!

We were quite late in booking for a winter break and were excited to find your home available on the net. It takes a bit of courage and trust to send off our rent to a stranger. We are very pleased with your home and appreciate the supplies that are here. We’ve hiked up the museum trail and the Indian Canyons, seen our first every oasis and enjoyed it all. The big hit each afternoon is the pool and hot tub. A blizzard is in effect at home so this is a great respite. Thank you very much?

We left Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada in -24 degree weather. Landing here the temperature was 70 degrees, quite a welcome change? We have really enjoyed exploring Palm Springs, culturally as well as historically. The pool and spa were our relaxing moments and when the temperature here dipped to 60 degrees the hot tub was fantastic. I enjoy being out doors and really liked jogging and walking in a safe neighborhood. We found it to be a surprise that the sun went behind the mountains so early in the afternoon (we are from the prairies where we are used to seeing the horizon). As I jogged through the neighborhood I found the different plants used in landscaping to be so interesting to me. Thanks for everything.

I was researching online for a resort/casita with private pool for my husband’s birthday when I came across the website for Villa Amelia. I was a bit skeptical at first because it all looked and sounded so wonderful. I was also concerned about the close proximity to other neighbors and whether we’d feel as though we were secluded. All those concerns vanished the moment we stepped onto your property. It was the most relaxing time we have had in quite a long while. Our friends laughed at us when I told them when we were coming to Palm Springs (August can be hot) but we were blessed with milder weather and it was fabulous. The beautiful pool kept us nice and cool and we never once had any issues with the heat. That’s really all we did we just spent our time lounging, relaxing and enjoying. My husband was thrilled with Villa Amelia and is already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.
