Old School Palm Springs Vibe

The house was exactly what we were looking for in our first visit to Palm Springs. Great location and a great host. Thanks Jamie.

Check-in was very smooth and the group of 3 of us thought the property’s vibe was awesome! We did have an issue with the sink in the casita being clogged but the issue was fixed same day. Pool was kept at a great temperature and the a/c worked very well in all areas of the house. Only thing I would improve on is the cleanliness and minor maintenance/upgrades, at one point the shower head in one of the restrooms popped off and the trash pullout in the kitchen was dirty. There was also a dead baby roach in the casita shower and a live one in the main bedroom of the house which made us a bit uncomfortable.

Most unique vrbo we've ever stayed in.

We had a great 5 day stay in Jamie's Atomic Flair. As soon as we walked in, the kids (and us) were oohing and aahing over the mid-century modern details. There are some great books to read more about MCM and Palm Springs history on the coffee table. It was warmer than expected during our stay, so the pool was enjoyed every day we were there. The pool, in particular, was very clean and didn't smell like pool chemicals at all. The house isn't perfect (it's an authentic MCM home), but nothing distracted from a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by James (Jamie) Howarth

Host profile image
Veteran recording engineer/producer, with a love of all things modern.

Why they chose this property

After some 10 years attending the Coachella Festival and staying in Palm Springs for vacations the area's allure was irresistible.

What makes this property unique

When we saw the unique artwork built-in to the property, the gorgeous mountain views from the original kidney shaped pool, we had to have it. It's a very happy and comfortable somewhat zany but eminently practical home.
