About the host

Hosted by Nicole

Host profile image
Hi, I’m your host Nicole!

I live for interior design and architecture! I’m that person who can happily lose hours scrolling Zillow or creating mood boards for dream houses on Pinterest. When I’m not daydreaming about beautiful spaces, you’ll probably find me traveling, taking photos, listening to music, building puzzles, shopping, or playing card games (including a friendly game of Texas Hold ’Em poker). I also love hosting game nights and throwing parties for friends, basically, anything that brings people together in a fun way.

Hosting this home is truly an extension of who I am. It brings me so much joy to share a space that’s playful, luxurious, and designed for making memories. Palm Springs is such a vibrant, eclectic city, and my favorite part of hosting is knowing guests get to relax, explore, and create moments they’ll talk about for years to come.

Welcome to the House of the Golden Turtle! I hope you enjoy every minute here 🌴

Why they chose this property

We love Tahquitz River Estates, which is one of Palm Springs’ most desirable neighborhoods! Nestled in the prestigious South End, our home puts you in the perfect spot to soak up all the desert charm. You’re less than a mile from downtown, but the neighborhood itself has its own village-like vibe. Think vintage shops, quirky boutiques, and dining options for every mood, whether it’s a juicy steak dinner at Mr. Lyons or a laid-back local café, Koffi.

Architecture buffs will love strolling the streets, where mid-century modern gems sit alongside Spanish Revival and sleek contemporary homes. It’s no wonder this area is a hot spot for walking tours.

From the House of the Golden Turtle, you’re just a half-mile to Sunny Dunes Road, a boutique-lined stretch that’s also home to the local breakfast favorite Townie Bagels (trust us, the line is worth it). Craving a cocktail or a night out? Legendary spots like Bar Cecil and Del Rey at Villa Royale are only a quick stroll away.

When it’s time to stock up, you’ve got options: Ralph’s is just 1.4 miles away, while Trader Joe’s (a California original!) is a breezy 4.1-mile drive. And of course, lively downtown Palm Springs — with all its shops, restaurants, bars, and entertainment — is just over a mile from your door.

In short, everything you need is right here. Whether you’re walking, biking, or driving, this neighborhood makes it effortless to dive into the Palm Springs lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

The House of the Golden Turtle is a playful yet luxurious desert oasis with total privacy, resort-style amenities, and vibrant Palm Springs flair. From a sparkling pool, jacuzzi, and cabanas to mountain views, spacious interiors, and thoughtful extras, it’s the perfect blend of comfort, style, and fun!
