Remodeled mid-century home. Mountain views. Private yard w pool/spa, fire pit lounge, outdoor kitchen, covered dining pavilion, outdoor shower, ping pong. Off street parking. Beds: K,Q,K (can convert to TT).

This house is so gorgeous it was included on the 2017 Palm Springs Modernism Week Home Tour! Better than new Palm Springs Vacation Home Rental. Entire property has been updated. Fabulous resort-style saltwater pool yard that has been walled for privacy. Gorgeous mountain views from the heated inground pool, spa, covered dining pavilion, and outdoor living room. Awesome fire feature plus an outdoor shower. Now taking reservations for bookings at this stunning remodel of an iconic mid mod vacation home where it’s all about relaxing in the Palm Springs sunshine.

This classic Alexander Butterfly home (circa 1961) has been lovingly restored - respecting its architectural pedigree while updating it for the way we live today. The original post and beam ceilings have been preserved while adding modern conveniences like high speed internet access, updated heating and cooling, and four flat screen televisions.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
This property captures the magic of Southern California glamour. The mountain views are simply spectacular. The backyard itself is heavenly. So private, spacious and well-planned. The inground pool and spa is surrounded by chaise lounges, shade umbrellas, a napping hammock, an outdoor shower and a rolling green lawn area that’s great for kids. The outdoor kitchen, with its built-in gas barbecue, ice chest and long serving counter - is adjacent to the covered dining pavilion. You’ll also find a very comfortable outdoor living room with an awesome two-level fire feature. There is a bar height fire table and a cocktail height fire table - perfect for your entire group to gather poolside and enjoy the spectacular mountain views. Slip thru the sliding glass doors into the converted game room where you’ll find a ping pong table and an extra hangout area.

** The pool will be heated to 83 degrees upon request with an additional service fee. Please let us know if you'd like to heat the pool so we can ensure it is heated before your arrival. Spa heating is included with your rental at no extra cost **
** Please Note: This fee is not included in the quoted price on some booking platforms. **

INDOOR LIVING SPACES
Gorgeous in its simplicity, as Mr. Alexander and his architects Palmer and Krisel intended, you’ll find clean lines, an open concept floor plan and spectacular walls of glass that let the light pour in and reveal a stunning country club backyard. The living room, dining area and kitchen are all open to each other - providing enough space for your entire group to gather, relax and enjoy. The living room has been tricked out with an over sized mid mod-inspired sectional sofa, a full size vintage Elvis movie poster, and a 55"/ 4K TV with premium Martin Logan speakers. The stereo system has Pandora and internet radio.

SLEEPING QUARTERS
All of the bedrooms feature comfortable hotel-quality mattresses, ample storage, and flat screen televisions.The master bedroom offers a king-sized bed, an en suite bath, and its own courtyard patio with direct pool access. The two guest rooms share easy access to the hall bath. The King Bed in the third guest room can be converted to two Twin beds upon request.

Best Thanksgiving Ever!
My family loved every minute of our Thanksgiving week getaway!! The house was everything we expected and had been hoping for. The neighborhood was so quiet and safe feeling. The hiking was so close and beautiful along with the amazing backyard! I would highly recommend this location if you travel to Palm Springs!

Perfect Girl's Weekend
A few of my girlfriends from college stayed at this precious place over the weekend. It was beautiful inside/out, close to town and an easy uber ride anywhere we needed to go. We all highly recommend this stay. We can't wait to come back!
