About this property

Chic Mid Century Bungalow at Famed Ocotillo Lodge

Welcome to Desert Digs, a midcentury escape in the historic Ocotillo Lodge, located in South Palm Springs just minutes from downtown. Built as a luxury hotel in 1956 with renowned architects Dan Palmer and William Krisel, the property was originally designed to attract celebrity clientele, and was a popular destination for Hollywood elite such as Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball.

The bungalow is located in one of the best locations within the complex - the unit’s wall of windows open to a spacious private patio with direct west mountain views . Relax on the patio while enjoying the sunset, spend the day basking in the sun at the champagne cork shaped heated pool, or enjoy hanging out at the iconic Sunshine Bar (BYOB).


The bungalow was renovated with its midcentury history as inspiration. It features floor to ceiling sliding glass doors, tile floors throughout, sleek and minimalist kitchen cabinets, and a 260 sq foot patio. The condo has a full kitchen (cooktop - FYI no oven!), dishwasher, washer/dryer and BBQ. The bed is King Size and very comfy! The location of the property is within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. Come and enjoy all that South Palm Springs has to offer!

The host very welcoming and helpful. As older adult guests, the host was patient and quickly responded to our questions. The amenities were as described plus some extras that were not expected like the portable fire pit. The sofa and bed were very comfortable! The shower was good quality and warm! Loved the Mid Century decor throughout. Nice kitchen and a great dishwasher! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Fantastic place to stay in Palm Springs. Close to everything, including downtown. Condo is perfect for a couple/two people and has everything you may need. Bed is comfortable and the outdoor patio is awesome with great views. Community pool is large with plenty of chairs and beautiful views of the mountains. Owners were very nice and friendly to communicate with. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

The Perfect Desert Getaway

We had the most relaxing stay here at The Desert Digs! Beautifully decorated chic mid century modern, conveniently located down the road from Downtown PS, easy access to the pool, loved hanging out on the cute patio at night and Kelsey was so accommodating & easy to reach whenever I had any questions regarding the property or any local recommendations. Would definitely stay here again and will recommend to friends!

Pleasantly Surprised!

Awesome property and accommodations. I bc am used to paying twice the daily rate for similar lodging in Palm Springs. Plus, the property is truly representative of mid-century living in the desert. I will definitely book a stay here again.

Another great stay

We stayed at this property last year and loved it so much we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in Palm Springs. The property is exactly like the photos and is so beautifully decorated. Kelsey is the perfect hostess and provided us with all the information we could want. I would highly recommend Desert Digs to anyone. Wish we could go more often!

Can’t wait to come back!

My husband and I had a fabulous time in Palm Springs staying at Desert Digs. The property was absolutely lovely and in a fantastic location. The condo looks exactly as pictured- which is why I booked it in the first place- retro but very comfortable! We used the bikes every day to ride around the neighborhood and even rode into PS for dinner one night. Will definitely stay again.

Delightful Bungalow

This little condo is a gem! It is beautifully decorated, well-stocked, very clean, and easy to get to. The bed was very comfortable and the windows let in the best soft, morning light! The space is perfect for couples, and the lodge has the best vacation vibes. Kelsey was so easy to work with and was very responsive when our travel plans went a bit awry due to flight issues. We would love to visit again!
