About this property

Mid-Century Modern Soul, Lux Euro Sleek Style. El Paseo - South Palm Desert

The soul and charm of a mid century modern with euro sleek style relaxes privately and confidently on Shadow Lake Drive in the sought after South Palm Desert and El Paseo District.

Unassuming from the curb, you are welcomed into a space where the lines between outdoor and indoor living seamlessly disappear. Where light dances off of sleek surfaces and every changing hour brings new meaning to ambiance, inside and out.

A gourmet kitchen looks onto an ample and lovely ‘great room’ with gorgeous views provided by the walls of glass that separate the interior and completely private front and rear courtyards. Redefining inside-out living.

Not to be outdone, a well equipped outdoor kitchen over looks the impressive, completely private rear courtyard. Outdoor dining, a glass fire feature, salt water pool & spa. Seated in foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, peek-a-boo views of the mountains throughout the property framed by palm & olive trees, please the eye.

Automatic shades on glass walls give the option of creating privacy between living spaces, giving an expansive feel. Impressive lighting, day and night, inside and out, dazzles.

Back inside, sleeping arrangements. A large master en suite with a master bath that will make you never want to leave, does not disappoint. Two charming guest rooms on the opposite end of the home with a shared bath make for an overall, ideal space to share with friends and family. This space loves to entertain large just as much as it does a party of one or two.

A beautiful space for you to come, breath in the warm desert air, exhale your stress and thoroughly enjoy yourself. Why? Because every time you're on a getaway...you should feel as if you have arrived and leave a little bit more like yourself.

We absolutely love this space and feel so lucky to have and share it. Please let us know if you have any questions, curiosities or if there is anything we can do to make your stay extra special! We are happy to help!

Great House Great Location

We stayed at this property in January and we loved it. It had been recently renovated and it shows very well. Ample room for 4 adults, everything that we used worked perfectly. We loved the big gas fire pit by the pool in the back yard. The owner and property manager were very professional and excellent at getting back to me when I had a question. I would stay here again for sure!!

Palm Desert Oasis

Great location and property. Beautiful private patio and grounds, with easy access in/out of the house to the patio and grounds. Our visit was in the hot summer, the pool and amenities afforded an excellent vacation to beat the heat. El Paseo is an easy few blocks walk through a nice residential neighborhood. Shadow Mountain Resort is walkable too. Easy access by car to major roads and activities in the area. A great oasis in the desert!

Amazing Family Spring Break

We just returned from a great week in Palm Desert! This home has everything that you could ask for in a rental, the attention to detail is next level. The location could not have been better for our family, we did rent a car but won't in the future as it was parked in the driveway for the majority of the week. We walked to shops, restaurants, laid by the pool, and went on a couple hikes....exactly what we wanted for our family vacation. Thank you, we will for sure be back!

Immaculately cared for home with everything you need for a great Palm Desert Vacation.

The recently renovated home is ideally set up for two couples or a family. It has been beautifully furnished and has a fantastic pool and outdoor kitchen. The home is located within walking distance of El Paseo Dr. with all the wonderful dining and shopping options. The owners and their local agent are very responsive and extremely helpful in arranging your stay in Palm Desert. The home is very well cared for and equipped with everything you need to make your stay comfortable.

Another 5-star-plus stay in Palm Desert

This property has become our favourite home-away-from-home. Everyone associated with this property--from the owners and on-site manager to the cleaner, the pool guys, and the gardeners--is great. We look forward to every visit and often wish that we could stay on and on. The house is located in a great neighbourhood where just about anything you could want or need is within walking distance or a short drive. It is also a very safe and private location. We look forward to returning.

All guests agreed - this was by far the best VRBO rental they have ever stayed! This house is truly an oasis in the desert. Your every need is taken care of and then some. It's very private, clean, well kept, and perfectly stocked. The owners are so wonderful to work with and are so attentive in anything you need. And you can't beat the location!

Mid century marvel!

We had a great stay at a great property. The pool and spa were a little small and a bit tired but the outdoor space was otherwise just terrific. Inside, the house was very well equipped, clean, in great repair, and completely met our needs. Having small things like coffee and sugar on hand were a nice touch. The location very close to El Paseo just couldn't be beat and the manager was lovely to deal with. Definitely recommend

Very relaxing and very private. Loved this house inside and out!! Zero complaints.

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and had the most relaxing week. This house has everything you need, great kitchen for cooking and even an outdoor kitchen, an amazing pool and hot tub, and it’s very private. We’ve stayed at a lot of air bnbs and this is by far was the best one. Has everything you need in the kitchen including cooking oils, spices, and all the gadgets you can think of. If your looking for a romantic spot with your spouse or even a fun spot for a group of <6 this is wonderful place to come. Thanks again to the owners who are amazing!!

Very comfortable home with all the amenities to have an amazing time in the desert. Peaceful setting with view of the mountains. Located 2 blocks from the Paseo with its many restaurants and boutiques. If cooking is in the cards, fully equiped kitchen and outside grill. Strong WiFi signal to stream your favorite movie/show.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Francois

Host profile image
About the owner: A couple who loves to escape to the desert from their primary residence in Seattle, WA. After work opportunities brought them to the desert, they found this home in 2012 and did a massive 6-month remodel to restore the mid-century modern house (built in 1958) to its glory with modern, high quality, euro sleek touches.

Why they chose this property

Palm Desert has great weather, sunshine, warmth and easy proximity to the coast. And the fact that the weather is the opposite of Seattle! PD is just a short plane ride away and always great weather and relaxing. Location was a big part of it- and it is hard to find a more convenient and fun location than this. The layout of the home was perfect with great open spaces for entertaining; the master bedroom was large and separated from the other two bedrooms - great for everyone's privacy! The outdoor spaces are just as enjoyable as the interiors! We often have trouble deciding where to start. Drink coffee in the front courtyard or in the back at the outdoor kitchen bar. Hang out by the fire or by the pool. Since we can see it all from the inside/out style living space and glass walls, choosing becomes less of a chore.

What makes this property unique

Getting up with the sun in the morning and going for a run is one of the best things- run through the neighborhood, or going to the trails a couple miles away to do the “bump and grind” run/hike with other fitness enthusiasts. Then, winding up with a cool-down walk on El Paseo and stopping at Starbucks for your morning coffee. Enjoy your day relaxing by the pool, using the BBQ at night, the outdoor fire pit, walking to what will be one of your new favorite restaurants for dinner, etc. A round of golf whenever you feel like it. Amazing evenings. You could have dinner every night for a year and not repeat a restaurant- however I do have some of favorites, just ask. Armando’s (by far) is the favorite, then Sullivan’s, Tommy Bahamas, many more. Or Happy Hour just about anywhere. Mamma Gina's, Firecliff, Daily Grill, Mastro’s, or if you need to find football- try Buffalo Wild Wings, Cactus Jacks - lots of options!! Incredible opportunities to enjoy local attractions. The local zoo, Joshua Tree (which will make you feel like you've never seen the night sky before), the Palm Springs Tramway (a must see and opportunity to take a relaxed stroll around Mount San Jacinto with breathtaking views of the Coachella Valley), just to name a few and not to mention the world renowned events, concerts and sporting events this area attracts!
