Mid-Century Perfection!

My fiancé and I were in Palm Springs for Modernism Week. We wanted to celebrate by staying in a Mid-Century style unit and we were not disappointed. Our host was most gracious and attentive to answering our questions and checking in on us as to how we were doing. Our unit was bright and airy and centrally located near downtown Palm Springs. The unit also had access to a magnificent swimming pool and hot tub. We were thoroughly delighted with our stay and look forward to returning.

Great spot in Palm Springs!

What a great place to stay for a Palm Springs vacation, 5 stars all-around.Prior to and during the trip, host Sarah was friendly and easy to communicate with at all times.The ample space was impeccably clean, and offered everything we needed; from a comfortable bed and more than enough linens to kitchen utensils, games, and a even a steamer for the rumpled travel clothes.The condo complex itself felt truly like home away from home. Quiet and respectful, with friendly fellow residents and vacationers. The pool was fantastic with tons of seating, umbrellas, and space.Location-wise, we didn't feel a need to rent a car. Ride shares were always near by, plus there were enough things near by that were walkable too (coffee shop, eating, grocery and supplies). Downtown was a quick ride away too, and we enjoyed the drivers that liked to share Palm Springs info and tips with us.If it's not clear yet, I highly recommend this space!

Living the Palm Springs Life!

Eye-popping fun waking up to your own “Palm Springs” sign! The sun peeking through the vertical shades… slide open the glass door to the patio… step out into palms and mountain views. Walk to Elmers for a breakfeast… coffee at Kofi… hop in your car and explore all that SoCal has to offer. Come back to a romantically lit quiet property… take a dip in the pool… chillax in your mid-century pad… fall into a comfy bed… and do it all again the next sunny morning! What’s not to like?!

Desert oasis

This property was amazing. The description and images are entirely accurate representations of what to expect. The furniture was comfortable and stylish and the overall aesthetic and design was reflective the location and it's history. The pool was fantastic and very welcome in the hot desert conditions. I cannot fault anything about the accommodation, if you are thinking of booking it then don't hesitate you won't be disappointed. Our host Sarah was very welcoming, clearly communicating the check in processes and was very responsive to any communications, and did everything possible to ensure we had an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

Perfect PS Mid Mod Getaway!

It was such fun to stay for 11 days in this very well appointed and updated unit in the historic Ocotillo Lodge! The unit is decorated in a bright and fun Palm Springs Mid Mod style, and the furnishings are comfortable and functional both inside and out. The king size bed was very comfortable to sleep in and the bathroom (with two sinks!) was light and bright! The kitchen has everything you would want for your visit whether you want to eat inside or BBQ outside on the private patio. The location was very convenient being only 5 mins away from downtown and grocery shopping! The pool area was awesome and I learned it's the 2nd largest pool in PS! I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!

Wonderful, memorable stay

Loved this property - so unique, clean and comfortable. The bed was so comfy and although it wasn’t quite warm enough to swim we enjoyed the hot tub and beautiful pool area with a gorgeous view of the mountains. Located super close to restaurants, shopping and activities and was a great place to come back to after visiting Joshua Tree. Host was very responsive and welcoming. The only bad part was having to leave. Look forward to staying here again in the future!

Ocotillo Adventure 2024

We had seen the unit the previous year, during Modernism. We knew we had to stay there as soon as possible, but that had to wait to 2024 Modernism. It was beyond amazing. Walking distance to Koffi, and Elmer's if you don't want to drive. Comfortable and fun. It made us feel like locals. Can't wait to do it again.

Fun MCM property

From the first impression to the dread of having to leave this property and Palm Springs, this was everything we wanted in a Palm Springs stay. The modest apartment was very clean upon arrival, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Our host, Sarah was ready to answer questions whenever we had one. She was only a text away. I will highly recommend this property to friends and family.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Reed

We LOVE the Desert and all the variety it offers year 'round! We split our time between Palm Springs, Kirkland Washington, and Chelan Washington. Rich loves playing his Blues harmonicas and sitting in on local jams, working on his golf game, and home remodeling projects. Sarah loves showing off the best of the Coachella Valley to friends and visitors, and travelling back and forth between SEA & PSP for real estate clients. Both of us love to try new restaurants, shopping local and we love consignment stores, exploring the region, and we are just trying to be the person our Jack Russell thinks we are by keeping his life fun and interesting! Our boy Hooch, age 13 1/2, is a good traveler and is always with one of us helping to share our day.

Why they chose this property

There is so much to love about the Ocotillo complex - the neighborhood and gigantic pool are tops! We belong to the Twin Palms neighborhood, and its wonderful to stroll with a beverage and our dog and look at all the cool MCM architecture - holiday lights are superb in this area. Also, its such an easy spot to be to walk or jump the bus to anywhere we want to go Downtown, so technically you don't need a car if you get a rideshare from the airport. Its not a party scene at this complex - definitely the place to relax and recharge.

What makes this property unique

The amazing champange cork shaped pool and flower shaped hot tubs are the bees knees - it's obvious this was the cool cat / Rat Pack joint back in the day, and its still fabulous today!
Fun Facts: Our condo has been on the Modernism Week Tours, and designer William Krisel even autographed the inside of our vintage kitchen cabinets about 10 years ago.
Our condo has the advantage of having an exterior entrance, not relying on an access gate or a long walk from parking, so its direct and easy access to/from your vehicle. Super spot to reset, renew, and get your relaxation on.....
