*** City of Palm Springs ID #:** [068782] **



**PLEASE REVIEW OUR POLICIES AND FEES BELOW**



The Space:

THE SPACE



This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom villa is designed for groups and families who refuse to compromise. The heart of the property is the main house with its open-concept living and dining area. Oversized sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, letting you flow seamlessly between your air-conditioned comfort and the glorious desert landscape.



You're not just renting a house — you get a complete guest compound. The separate guest casita provides an independent retreat with its own living, dining, and sleeping areas, perfect for giving everyone space when they need it. This flexibility is why multigenerational families and groups of friends consistently give this property top marks.



BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS



Main House:

• Bedroom 1: King bed (perfect for the primary suite)

• Bedroom 2: Queen bed

• Bedroom 3: Queen bed

• Bedroom 4: King bed

• Private Casita: Separate guest retreat with independent sleeping space



The 3 full bathrooms mean no morning lineups — a genuine luxury for group stays.



KITCHEN & DINING



Two fully equipped kitchens means you're never fighting over counter space. Whether you're prepping an intimate dinner or feeding a crowd, you have the setup to make it happen. The kitchens include full-size refrigerators, ovens, stovetops, dishwashers, microwaves, freezers, and all the cooking basics to let you prepare restaurant-quality meals. Dining areas throughout give you flexibility — formal meals in the covered patio, casual breakfasts inside, or open-air entertaining with views.



The property includes dishes, silverware, wine glasses, coffee makers, and coffee, so you arrive ready to entertain or settle in quietly.



YOUR OUTDOOR OASIS



This is where this property truly stands out. The landscaped, fully enclosed backyard is thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertainment.



The centerpiece is the private swimming pool — crystal-clear and ready to become your daily gathering place. Pair it with the hot tub for evening soaks under the desert stars. The fire pit offers warmth and ambiance during cool desert evenings, creating those moments you actually remember from vacations.



Beyond these anchors, you'll find multiple lounge areas, extensive outdoor furniture, and a covered dining patio for protected al fresco meals. The property backs onto breathtaking views, creating that sense of escape that separates a good vacation from an unforgettable one.



GUEST ACCESS & CONVENIENCE



The entire property is gated for your privacy and security. You'll receive a unique personal access code for 24/7 keyless entry — no fumbling with keys in the dark when you return from exploring. On-site parking is provided (note: guest parking in the garage is not available, but plenty of on-property parking exists).



The property is professionally managed to ensure everything works flawlessly. Housekeeping professionals follow rigorous cleaning protocols, including EPA-registered disinfectants and sanitization of high-touch surfaces. All bedding, dinnerware, and linens are freshly cleaned between arrivals. Your safety and comfort are the foundation of every stay.



LOCATION & NEIGHBORHOOD



You're in the heart of Movie Colony, Palm Springs' most prestigious residential neighborhood. This location gives you the best of both worlds: secluded tranquility within easy reach of everything.



Walkable to downtown Palm Springs, you're minutes from world-class restaurants, galleries, shops, and the cultural attractions that make this desert destination so appealing. Whether you want vibrant nightlife, farm-to-table dining, architectural tours, or simply wandering tree-lined streets and browsing local boutiques, it's all nearby without the noise of staying in the downtown tourist core.



The neighborhood itself is known for its mid-century modern heritage, thoughtfully preserved estates, and the kind of quiet sophistication that attracts discerning travelers.



NEARBY ATTRACTIONS



Palm Springs' famous attractions are within a short drive: Sunnylands Center & Gardens, the Desert Hot Springs Spa District, hiking trails in the San Jacinto Mountains, golf courses, and the legendary Coachella Music Festival venue (when season allows). The area offers year-round outdoor activities — pools, desert exploration, wellness retreats, and world-class dining.



WHY GUESTS LOVE THIS PROPERTY



The combination of space, amenities, and location creates a rare property in the Palm Springs rental market. With 45 reviews averaging 4.84 stars, guests consistently praise the outdoor amenities, the thoughtful layout that lets groups spread out, and the ideal location that feels both private and connected.



This is the property where groups actually bond instead of counting down days until checkout. Where families find enough space so everyone can have their moment alone or together. Where the outdoor experience — pool, hot tub, fire pit, views — becomes the real highlight of the vacation.

The Neighborhood:

This private villa is part of the prestigious Movie Colony neighborhood where the glamorous Hollywood stars come to play. The property has a prime location two blocks from the Uptown Design District, and less than a 5-minute walk to Downtown's best retail shops, bars, and restaurants.



Even though Movie Colony is close to the downtown area, the property remains extremely private, shielded by the wall and landscaping in the backyard. One thing to be aware of is that, on occasion, you may be able to hear vehicles passing by on the street behind the house or a medical helicopter due to being close to the hospital.



The historic Movie Colony is named after the many famous movie stars who owned homes in the area from the 1930's to 1960's, including Marilyn Monroe, Cary Grant, Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra, and Al Jolson.



The estate is also only a 7-minute walk to the famous 22-acre Ruth Hardy Park, where you will find 8 tennis courts, 2 children's play areas, basketball court, 2 volleyball courts, numerous picnic tables with BBQs, and large open fields. The adjacent Wellness Park is a 5-acre wellness oasis that offers a quarter-mile walking/jogging loop, five outdoor fitness stations, and four gardens: meditation, healing, fragrance and a memorial garden. There are also popular public hiking trails just a short walk or bike ride away that offer spectacular views overlooking the city, the airport, and valley.



Getting Around:

You can walk from the house to most in-town restaurants and bars. Many of the best restaurants of Palm Springs are within ~5 minutes walk from the house: Copley's, Eight4Nine, Workshop Kitchen, El Mirasol, Trio, Jake's, Birba, Cheeky's, Blue Coyote, and Tac/Quila.



There is parking space inside the gated property for at least 4 cars.



The Palm Springs International Airport is approximately 3 miles away and Interstate 10 (that connects you to Joshua Tree National Park or all the way to Los Angeles and Las Vegas) is also only a few miles away. The Convention Center, and the casino are quite close as well.



Interaction with Guests:

We are committed to providing our guests with a private and seamless experience. While we will not be present during your stay, we are readily available to assist you via the booking platform or by phone should any questions or needs arise. Your comfort and privacy are our top priorities.

Just fantastic!!

This place was wonderful. Quiet street, walked everywhere. View from back yard was amazing. Road out back was busy, but we were not bothered by the sounds. Inside was comfortable and nice. Definitely would rent this home again!

We stayed here for a moms’ trip with six women and overall had a good time, especially thanks to the location and outdoor space. The backyard is a real highlight—great for relaxing and hanging out—and the separate casita setup could be a nice option for extended families, particularly if grandparents or another couple want a bit more privacy.That said, there were a few areas where the experience didn’t quite match the listing. The description of the bedrooms was confusing—it notes four bedrooms in the main house, but in reality there are three in the main house and one in the casita. Not a dealbreaker, but helpful to know when planning sleeping arrangements.Communication around early check-in was also a bit challenging. It seemed like there may have been a system change on the management side, as we received multiple messages saying we hadn’t submitted information that we had already provided. It made the process feel more stressful than it needed to be.The biggest area for improvement is the overall condition of the home. There were some maintenance issues (e.g., mold in bathrooms, missing or burnt-out lightbulbs, and lack of clear instructions for things like WiFi and outdoor misters). Additionally, the photos don’t fully reflect the current condition of the property.With some attention to maintenance and clearer communication, this place really has the potential to be fantastic. As it stands, it just feels like it needs a bit more care and upkeep to match what’s advert

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad the location and backyard were highlights for your group. I’m sorry your stay didn’t fully meet expectations. Thank you for calling out the bedroom description confusion — we’ll update the listing to clearly state three bedrooms in the main house and the separate casita. I also apologize for the duplicate messages around early check-in; we recently changed our messaging system and are reviewing our process to prevent that extra stress. The maintenance items you noted (bathroom mold, burned-out/missing bulbs, and unclear WiFi/outdoor mister instructions) are unacceptable and will be addressed. We’ll have housekeeping and maintenance inspect and remedy those items and will review our photos and listing copy to better reflect the property’s current condition. Please send any photos or additional details via Vrbo messages so we can follow up and resolve these issues promptly. Thank you for staying with APEK Rentals and for helping us improve.
