Mid-Century Alexander Pool Home Featured in Modernism Week

I split my time between Palm Springs and West Hollywood, and I’ve always been drawn to homes that tell a story. I’ve spent most of my professional life in real estate and design, and hosting allows me to combine both passions—creating spaces that feel stylish, comfortable, and a little bit cinematic.

When I first saw The Beverly Astro House, it captured everything I love about Palm Springs: clean mid-century lines, mountain views, and that easy desert calm that somehow resets your entire nervous system. I wanted it to be more than a vacation rental—I wanted it to feel like a curated retreat where guests can unwind, connect, and recharge in style.

I’m especially proud of how the home blurs the line between resort luxury and relaxed living—from the citrus trees framing the pool to the newly refreshed interiors that balance color, texture, and a bit of humor. Whether you’re here for Modernism Week, Coachella, or just a weekend of sun and stillness, my goal is that you’ll feel instantly at home (and maybe a little inspired).

As a host, I value clear communication, thoughtful details, and authenticity. Every guest receives a custom guide to Palm Springs with my favorite local spots—places that locals actually love, from architecture walks and vintage shops to hidden cafés and hiking trails.

When I’m not working on real-estate projects or scouting design inspiration, you’ll probably find me with my rescue dog, exploring a new neighborhood, or hunting down the perfect espresso.

Hosting isn’t just about handing over keys—it’s about helping people fall a little bit in love with Palm Springs.

I chose Little Beverly Hills because it represents everything I love about Palm Springs—authentic mid-century architecture, mountain views, and a calm, sun-soaked energy that never tries too hard. The neighborhood is one of Palm Springs’ best-kept secrets: close enough to downtown for an easy dinner reservation or gallery stroll, yet peaceful enough to feel like your own private desert hideaway.

Every home here tells a story, and The Beverly Astro House is part of that history. Built in the classic Alexander style that defines Palm Springs’ modern heritage, the property was proudly featured on the Little Beverly Hills Modernism Week Tour of Homes, celebrating its blend of original design and thoughtful updates. It’s an area where mid-century design lovers, architecture buffs, and relaxation seekers all find something to love.

What I enjoy most about the neighborhood is its walkability and sense of community. Early mornings often start with neighbors walking their dogs (mine’s named Odie), and evenings bring a quiet glow as the sun sets behind the San Jacinto Mountains. It’s serene, scenic, and just the right amount of social—Palm Springs at its most effortlessly chic.

The neighborhood also offers easy access to local favorites: golf courses, hiking trails, vintage shops, and the vibrant downtown district just minutes away. You’re close to everything but never caught in the chaos. It’s perfect for travelers who want to explore the best of Palm Springs—architecture, art, and nature—while enjoying the privacy of a residential setting.

For me, Little Beverly Hills is more than a neighborhood—it’s the heart of what makes Palm Springs timeless: stylish, relaxed, and always a little bit glamorous.

The Beverly Astro House effortlessly captures the spirit of Palm Springs—that perfect blend of mid-century style, resort-level comfort, and desert serenity. Set in the coveted Little Beverly Hills neighborhood, the home was proudly featured in the Modernism Week Tour of Homes, celebrated for its authentic architecture and thoughtful redesign.

This isn’t just another vacation rental—it’s a home with personality. Every corner has been curated with care, from statement lighting to vintage-inspired art and textures that play with desert light. The home’s recent refresh introduced new furnishings, original artwork, and modern upgrades while preserving the timeless Alexander-era design that defines this iconic Palm Springs enclave.

Step outside and you’ll find one of the home’s true showstoppers: a private resort-style backyard framed by citrus trees and postcard-perfect mountain views. A sparkling pool, relaxing spa, fire pit lounge, and outdoor dining area make it ideal for lazy afternoons, golden-hour cocktails, or stargazing under the desert sky. It’s the kind of space where guests often linger long after checkout in mind and spirit.

Inside, the open-concept layout flows seamlessly between indoor and outdoor living. Three stylish bedrooms (including a king suite with pool access) provide comfort for up to six guests, and every detail—from plush linens to a fully stocked kitchen—has been designed to elevate your stay.

What also sets this home apart is the experience. Guests enjoy a local guide with hidden gems, architecture walks, design shops, and the best dining Palm Springs offers. You’re just minutes from downtown, yet the neighborhood remains peaceful, private, and beautifully walkable.

The Beverly Astro House stands out because it’s not just a place to stay—it’s a piece of Palm Springs design history, lovingly updated for today’s traveler. It’s where timeless mid-century elegance meets modern ease, wrapped in sunshine, citrus, and a touch of glamour.
