About the host

Hosted by Dimitrios Halkidis

Host profile image
Your hosts; Celebrity photographer Dimitri Halkidis and Hollywood Hairstylist Barry Halkides. The brothers are prominent residents of the Coachella Valley community for the past 15 years. Originally from the East Coast. Dimitri, relocated to Hollywood for 25 years before settling in Palm Springs.

Barry, resides in Los Angeles and has had a successful career for over 18 years working with top salons and celebrity clients.

Why they chose this property

The weather in the Valley is amazing and there's always something to do in this inclusive and diverse community. It's an amazing place to call home and yet still be near some of the best attractions in Southern CA.

What makes this property unique

It's not a "vacation" rental it's a home that's been lovingly curated and designed over the years. It's become such a must have destination among our friends and family that we've decided to open it for bookings when we aren't in residence. It's brought joy and a boat load of memories to so many and we know it will do that same for our guests.
