About this property

Luxurious Mid-Century Getaway in the Center of Palm Desert

Welcome to a sophisticated, updated mid-century condo within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. You'll enjoy a spacious home that can sleep six in total comfort amid stunning mountain and pool views. Well sited with world-famous landscape architecture, this unit offers set-back privacy from pool traffic.

Tastefully remodeled (2021) with designer tile and a modernist aesthetic, the property is light and bright and features mountain views, expansive floor to ceiling glass, clerestory windows, large tile floors throughout. It's our home, and we want you to be our guests.

Cook with a fully equipped kitchen featuring white quartz countertops and newer stainless steel appliances. The dining area faces out onto a private patio with mountain views. You'll have your own lemon and grapefruit trees for fresh-squeezed juice. The patio also includes a propane gas barbecue and laundry area (washer and dryer).

The stylish living room opens onto the pool-side patio and features a gas fireplace, so perfect on cool desert winter nights. There is a large wall-hung smart television and two couches for comfortable entertainment. Cable, wi-fi, and free North American phone service are included.

The gigantic master bedroom (with access to a private patio and views) has its own smart TV, bathroom with quartz countertops, double sinks with black fixtures, and a dressing area. The walk-in shower has designer tiles as part of a 2021 remodel. There is a comfy California King bed and plenty of closet space. The master wing is cooled by its own mini-split AC system.

A separate guest wing includes the main guest room with a California King bed (2021 mattress) and cable TV. Another guest room has two twin beds. The guest bathroom has a white quartz countertop, two sinks, and a walk-in shower with designer tile.

The unit is fully stocked and has all of the amenities you will need, from pool gear and beach towels to a mountain bike and fruit picker. The kitchen has a variety of cookware and supplies (even a juicer). There is a regular drip and Keurig K-cup coffee/latte maker.

Everything is located within the Sandpiper development designed by the famous modernist architect William Krisel and walkable to El Paseo Drive and neighborhood shops. Enjoy wonderful boutiques, restaurants, and art galleries. Close by are grocery stores, restaurants, Westfield Mall, Whole Foods, and a nearby movie theater. You can have a safe stay without a car--everything is within an easy walk or by Uber. The hosts are ready to provide advice and recommendations.

Private and pool-side patios have tables and chaise lounges. Guest parking is next to the condo, and a one-car covered garage is also available at no charge. The pool area features a covered Ramada with a grill, refrigerator, sink, and shuffleboard. There's even a putting green.

The unit has been a popular rental and has been booked continuously for eight years. If you like Sandpiper, you'll appreciate this unit for its super-walkable convenience and gorgeous views without unsightly pool gates. Rentals must be at least 28 days and generally start on the 1st day of the month. But please write if you have questions or need special assistance with booking and dates.

Pets are not usually allowed, but we will consider friendly dogs under 30 pounds with a pet fee. Children over 12 years of age are welcome with larger groups, and adult supervision is required in the common areas.

Sandpiper paradise
I can’t say enough wonderful things about my stay. Todd and Rona are wonderful hosts and the condo is clean, comfortable and spacious. The layout is perfect for 2 couples or a family. We particularly loved the location with everything within walking you don’t really need a car. The landscape, pool area are a big plus and the neighbors are lovely. The unit has a fireplace which was a big plus in the cooler winter evenings. The condo has a great vibe! Thank you Todd and Rona for sharing your beautiful home.

Awesome place with great accommodations
This place has been amazing! Everything you need is here in the home and the location is perfect. Close to all shopping. The property is very well maintained with neighbors that are so helpful and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Hosts are super responsive and very accommodating. This will definitely be the place my family stays when coming here in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Todd and Rona H.

Host profile image
We've been coming to Sandpiper in Palm Desert as kids since the early 1970s. Rona is an interior designer, and Todd has been an entrepreneur and educator. We understand the mid-century appeal and have owned homes in Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage, so we know the area. Questions? We're ready to help you have a great desert experience.

Why they chose this property

We have been renting our Sandpiper condo for nearly 7 years. Our loyal visitors come back year after year. They love our neighbors, many of whom who live here year round.

There is nothing like a vacation at Sandpiper. Don't make the mistake of thinking Palm Springs is the only town in the desert. We love Palm Springs, but it has more of a resort, weekender appeal. At Sandpiper in Palm Desert, you'll have a safe, residential experience without the trinket shops. Everything is within walking distance. Designer shopping is down the street on El Paseo Drive, and Palm Desert and nearby communities have great restaurants and food stores, including Costco, Aldi, Whole Foods, and Walmart.

Our unit is perfectly centered for everyday shopping and elegant nightlife. There are also plenty of opportunities for hiking, golf, and tennis. Joshua Tree National Park and the Living Desert Zoo are great family destinations. The McCallum Theater and nearby casinos offer entertainment and live performances. And you can always hop in your car and visit the attractions in the other towns--from Indio and La Quinta to Rancho Mirage and Palm Springs. San Diego, Los Angeles, and Mexico are just a few hours away. There's even skiing in the wintertime.

January-March is considered high season, so book early. But there is great weather from October-June, and prices may be more affordable.

What more could you ask for? We look forward to hosting you during your stay.

What makes this property unique

Each Sandpiper unit offers wonderful views and unique charms. But we love our condo for several reasons. In addition to the 3 bedroom layout to accommodate extra guests, we have a wonderful living space with a working gas fireplace and mountain views. There are also killer views from the kitchen and dining area. The condo sits back nicely from the pool, so we don't have to worry about pool noise and traffic. The sunrises are amazing, and we avoid the hot afternoon sun. Not all units have a big private patio like ours, so we can entertain in multiple areas. It's a perfect set up! And did we mention the fruit trees in our patio? Pick your own grapefruit and lemons. There's no better place in the world to be in winter time, with modernist events and golf/tennis galore, and we even like it in the less touristy off season. The pool always stays warm. You can walk to all of the shops (and there are a lot), so you really don't need a car.
