About this property
Mid-Century Gem w/Salt-Water Pool, Spa,Cabana,yard, blt in bbq,& 300+5 star revs
City ID # 2922 TOT # 7130
Step into Rancho Relaxo — a 1960 original Alexander/Krisel where mid-century charm meets playful Palm Springs personality. The open, light-filled living area blends comfort and authenticity, designed for effortless lounging after a day in the sun. Thoughtful artwork from local icons Shag and Mod City adds that unmistakable Palm Springs flair guests love to discover in person.
The living room features comfortable seating, streaming TV, and a warm, welcoming vibe — anchored by signature touches that make Rancho Relaxo unforgettable. Around the house, cheerful signage sets the mood: as you enter you are greeted by “Hello” in neon, then “You Are Wonderful” marquee lights at the pool, and the hand-painted “Life Is Good” wall outside the primary that has become a guest-favorite photo spot.
The kitchen is fully equipped and easy to use —chef’s kitchen perfect for breakfasts or a relaxed dinner at home. Just beyond, the primary suite is its own private retreat, complete with an en-suite bath and private dining area that opens toward the yard — an ideal spot for morning coffee or a quiet glass of wine at sunset. Two additional bedrooms provide comfort and style, each with quality linens and cozy details to make everyone feel at home.
Step outside and you’ll understand why guests call Rancho Relaxo their happy place. The backyard is a private desert oasis built for sunshine, laughter, and long, easy afternoons. A sparkling salt-water pool sits at the heart of it all, surrounded by comfortable lounge chairs, lush greenery, and a shaded cabana perfect for reading, napping, or cocktails by sunset.
The outdoor kitchen and BBQ area make dining al fresco a breeze — whether you’re grilling for a group or keeping it simple. String lights and glowing accents create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere after dark, with the “You Are Wonderful” marquee lights opposite the pool serving as a favorite backdrop for photos and evening gatherings.
Guests love the mature fruit trees — lemon, lime, and grapefruit — that line the yard. You’re welcome to pick a few for your morning juice or evening drink; it’s a small pleasure that feels uniquely Palm Springs.
At Rancho Relaxo, the outdoor space is more than a yard — it’s an experience. Every detail invites you to slow down, smile, and soak up the best of Palm Springs living.

The pool and hot tub would be perfect with the addition of handrails to allow older folks to get in and out of them confidently without the help of others. Other than that, this house suited all of our needs perfectly!
Fantastic stay! The home was beautifully decorated with a fun Palm Springs vibe and a gorgeous backyard with great photo spots, a pool, hot tub, and cozy fire pits. The kitchen and living areas were comfortable, the property manager and greeter were both very responsive, and the location was perfect. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you ! We love the house and are so happy you did too ! Love to have you back

Rancho Relaxo is very romantico! With eye-popping decor, a beautiful pool area, and comfortable furnishings, it’s by far the best vacation rental we’ve stayed in. During our three days there, we spent most of our time by the pool. My husband and I are picky about water temperature, so we paid extra to have the pool heated—very much worth it, even though the weather was quite warm. We loved the neighborhood of classic mid-mod homes, the proximity to downtown, and the close-up view of the mountains from the front yard. Paul, who met us at check-in and oriented us to the property, was a great host, and we appreciated having a minimal to-do list when checking out. It was a dream-come-true stay in Palm Springs, and we can’t wait to return!

Happy new year

Very clean property with a cool mid century vibe. We enjoyed the spacious rooms, plenty of towels, built in sound system and the private location. With views of the mountains and set in a quit neighborhood it was the perfect spot for us to celebrate the holidays.
Everything about this property was amazing and comforting. The views are amazing, especially from the hot tub. I will definitely book this property again.

Stayed in this beautiful home for a girls trip last week. It was perfect for the 3 of us. It was very comfortable, clean, and so close to downtown. Our check in was super easy. The pool and outside area was so relaxing. Would def stay here again!
Really cool place. Very private pool area and patio. We loved our stay here. Also had access to the garage for parking. A nice added bonus I wasn’t expecting.
This place was fantastic - the decor really added to the entire experience. We spent lots of time by the pool, cooked dinner on the BBQ and just relaxed.
I am from the East Coast, and have lived in LA for many years commuting also to NYC. Upon finding this property I found a little piece of Heaven. A true Oasis in the desert!
Why they chose this property
I am in love with this house, and thrilled to share it with you! Hopefully the warm and fun touches throughout will make this truly your home away from home. Alexander homes focus on the outdoor space, this home does not disappoint! The outdoor living room , dining room, and that amazing salt water pool and spa!
What makes this property unique
Our home is unique as we have a comfortable outdoor lounging and dining area located underneath a shaded covered patio. We have an outdoor kitchen with BBQ, fridge and side burner. Great Big Tv's and surround sound. Our pool has a tanning shelf so you can actually sit in the water as you soak up the sun. And there is a Hot Tub!
