About 365 Vacation Rentals
Hello and thanks for checking out my house in Palm Spring. Having grown up in Denmark and not moving to the US until later in life, you could probably argue that I should be a natural lover of modern design - which exactly is what I am. This is the third Alexander that I have owned in Palm Springs and by far the best. I work in tech and live in Silicon Valley, so having the ability to escape to Palm Springs for a long weekend of fun is something that I really appreciate.
Why 365 Vacation Rentals chose Racquet Club East
I have known about mid-century homes in Palm Springs for many years, but it wasn't until about 5 years ago that I decided to buy my own house in the desert. It obviously grew on me and after having previously restored two other Alexanders I have now just recently completed this one. I am a bit obsessive when it comes to quality and have spent far more on this house than I would have done had it just been a quick flip since I'm planning on keeping it for a long time.
What makes this House unique
The larger floor plan of this house combined with an over-sized lot (10,500 sq ft) really sets it apart - you really feel like you are staying in your own little oasis of modern marvels :-)

This beautiful mid-century with pool and hot tub in a great location has it all
Jus stayed here for a week with my husband, Mom, and daughter over the thanksgiving holiday. We enjoyed every minute in this perfectly appointed home. Very clean, with lots of fresh towels, comfy beds and spacious, well thought-out rooms. The kitchen had just what we needed and the two living rooms were perfect for one group to lounge by the fire while the other watched movies. The pool, hot tub, and fire pit were star attractions. Location was great- downtown, airport, and aerial tram were all just minutes away. Highly recommend.
Thank you for the experience!
Thank you so much Nick and Shannon for helping with my first booking at VRBO! Both of you were so very helpful and made the booking experience easy and stress free! My friends and I fully enjoyed the property and made amazing memories in the process. The property had everything we needed and more. It was clean, had a great location for Coachella, and had great amenities. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything!
Love Palm Springs
Great house, location, views, décor and amenities. No sign or sound of chimps during our stay. Would definitely rent again... LOVE the mid-century!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
Great house. Nice location. Quiet neighborhood.
Loved the house. Kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Great jumping off point to Joshua Tree and the Palm Springs Tram. Lots of grocery stores and restaurants nearby.
I would upgrade to a "smart TV" for Netflix and Amazon Prime, and handheld shower heads would be good. Palm Springs water pressure is not adequate for washing kids hair.
Thoughtfully appointed, comfortable home in Racquet Club Estates
We had a wonderful week staying in this home. The home is exactly as pictured on the VRBO page. We were just two, but this would be perfect for four people. Six or eight might be a squeeze because of 2 x .75 bathrooms.
This home is slightly larger than other Racquet Club Estates homes - with an extra living space.
Appliances are new, with a gas range. It was easy to cook in this kitchen (it is more updated than other similar homes we've rented in this neighborhood), with good-quality tools and staples on hand. The home was very clean, with no trace of past renters. The house manual is very clear with instructions on how to use everything.
Do not miss out on using the private, outdoor shower behind the casita. It was one of our favorite amenities, and we didn't use the indoor showers once we discovered it.
The location is great - close to Palm Springs - but in the winter (when we visited - mid-November), the sun sets very EARLY. It was gone by 3:30, and it was dark just after 5pm. We did pay for pool heating, and were happy we did. It was high 70s/low 80s during our visit.
We were glad our host told us that there is a chimpanzee sanctuary adjacent to the property - the mostly quiet apes did have a few things to say (loudly) during the day, and we might otherwise have called the police to help a neighbor in distress. (The story of the ape sanctuary is worth googling if you're curious.)
