About this property

Modern Private Retreat, Saltwater Pool & Spa

As we cope with recent developments, we want to assure our current and future guests that we are taking extra precautions to ensure the sanitation of our home. We are upping our already high standard of cleanliness to further protect our guests. We standardly use bleach in all appropriate areas. We can also schedule a mid-stay cleaning.

This home embodies the unique vision of Spanish-style architecture that emerged in Palm Springs in the early 1970s: stucco exteriors and Spanish tile roofs blended with midcentury interior design elements. Extensively remodeled in 2016, this design-driven 3 bedroom 2 bath home accommodates 6 guests comfortably. It boasts a south-facing backyard with mountain views and a saltwater pool and spa. Soaring ceilings and open layout in common areas make the home feel very spacious. Kitchen with 12-foot island and 6-burner gas range. Tile floors throughout, gas fireplace, and a mix of vintage and modern furnishings. Very Kid friendly, close to amenities, and protected from harsh desert winds and airplane noise. New listing in Oct 2016.

We would come back again!
First I want to say how much we enjoyed the house and property! It was spacious and had everything we needed for our 6 week stay. Unfortunately the coronavirus cut it short and we weren't able to share the time with our children (they had to cancel the trip as well) but the four weeks we did spend were wonderful. It was well stocked with everything we needed and the appliances were second to none (especially the stove as I love to cook). The pool and hot tub were godsends on the hot days and cool evenings and mornings. The location is within walking distance of grocery , golf and a few restaurants and the rest are a short Uber away. Tom was an incredibly attentive host and we really wanted to meet the family before we left. Any request or question was answered immediately. I would highly recommend this place for not only families (as they were well equipped) but for couples who may have visitors but just want some serene time to themselves. We would definitely come back.

Great house for kids!
This house was perfect for our stay. I was here with my family, my two little girls included. The house was very comfortable, the hosts were super friendly, and most importantly it was kid friendly. We had the safety fence put up around the pool, which meant we could all relax a little more. In addition so many toys and books, my kids loved it. Lots of other little details that made our stay so comfortable. I would recommend for anyone, but especially if you have kids. Thank you Tom and Bethann!

Lovely home and great hosts
This is a lovely home with so many special details including a newly renovated well equipped kitchen with a Nespresso machine! We loved the open layout, pool, hot-tub and garden with a bocci ball area! The hosts were amazing - and immediately available by text when needed. The location is perfect - on a quiet street but a 5 minute walk from a great shopping area with everything you could possibly need. We would stay again in a heartbeat.
