Sunning My Paws in Beautiful Palm Springs!
VRBO Bear stayed here - 04/21/2008 I can’t think of anything better than heading to Palm Springs to enjoy some much needed sun after a long winter's nap! What a thrill it was to stay in this Palm Springs home.
This Palm Springs vacation home invites you back to a time when Hollywood movie stars retreated to this warm climate for socialization, golf, and much needed rest and relaxation. It’s located in central Palm Springs in what’s known as the "Movie Colony" neighborhood.
It is apparent that time and design have made this home a special place. Whether outside or inside, you’ll enjoy the classy feel of the era of the glamorous lifestyle. The well appointed retro interior design and open floor plan with floor to ceiling windows, boasting a view of the pool area and backyard, makes one take a deep breath and reach for something tall and cool.
With special touches like the interior/exterior sound system, remodeled full kitchen, and flat screen TVs, there was no lack for home entertainment. And we found plenty of shopping, restaurants, and entertainment nearby.
In the evening, we could not decide whether to be outside or inside! We enjoyed balmy nights with the beautiful and subtle outdoor lighting and a starry night sky and we were pampered inside looking out at the glowing pool inviting us for a night swim. I found the "Grand Old Dame" enchanting and often spent time day dreaming of myself in a bygone era, fully expecting Frank Sinatra to come around the corner!

As the owners of the home, we have been delighted to have so many wonderful people choose our home for their vacations and special occasions. In October, we had a couple from England travel to New York for their wedding and then stayed in our home for their honeymoon. And if that weren't wonderful enough, in November, we had ANOTHER newlywed couple from England do the exact same thing, honeymoon at our home as well! A family from Ohio spent their Thanksgiving week together and sadly had to leave to return to the midwest after stuffing themselves on Thanksgiving. The photos they sent were a testament to the wonderful time they spent together. And in December, we have someone from New York who was looking to get out of the snow and into the warm, sunny weather of Palm Springs and an escape from his hectic life there. All in all, it's been an incredible 2007 with so many wonderful people choosing to stay at our home. We look forward to another wonderful year in 2008 and can't wait to see who all decides to spend their special occasions and vacations at our home. The Grand Old Dame is waiting for you...

Arlene - Our stay in Palm Springs was everything that you promised and more. The house was just perfect and I spent many hours floating around on one of the white loungers. I found it hard to share. We made it to the Thurs nite market and the Sat Flea Market at College in the Desert (it was 117F that day and way too hot to be out of the pool!!) The time went way too fast and I didn't get a change to do some of the stores that I had hoped to so needless to say I think that another visit to the desert is in the stars. We went out for dinner on Friday nite to Zin American Bistro and a good time was had by all. The chef/owner even sent a cupcake with a couple of birthday candles to our table in honor of the occasion. We were 45 minutes late leaving on Sunday as nobody wanted the week-end to end and it was hard to pull ourselves away from the pool. I hope this didn't cause any problems. One of the gals lives in Huntington Beach and is thinking of renting your home for a nite or two so that she can show her husband just what kind of a house she wants as they are looking to buy a second property in HB. She just loved the layout and access to the pool ..... as did we all. All seven of us will sing the praises of the Grand Dame for many months to come ..... thanks so much for allowing us to share your home and I hope that everyone who stays there enjoys it as much as we did.
