The eight-foot-deep pool has two in pool seats in the deep end and shallow seating the full width of the pool. Not to forget the above ground hot tub that’ll soothe your entire body after a long day of exploring the Coachella Valley.

The first guest bedroom can be found just off the living room. This bedroom retreat provides your guest with a Queen size bed, television, and direct access to the pool area.

Outside you and your guests will discover paradise!  The larger saltwater pool is the epic center of the yard, and yes, it’s as refreshing as it looks – get ready to make a splash.  When you’re not enjoying the pool, you can ignite the natural gas bbq and have a cookout.  When the day becomes night, you’ll enjoy the fire pit that sits amongst a large patio sectional. There’s also ample sitting underneath the patio cover where you’ll find a table for outdoor dining – now that’s how you live the Palm Springs lifestyle.

This vacation home was built by the famed Alexander Construction Company and sits on a quiet street in one of the first Palm Springs mid-century modern neighborhoods, known as the Racquet Club Estates. This historic neighborhood was once the playground for the infamous Rat Pack and Hollywood celebrities, and it sits in a perfect location near downtown. Make the short mile-and-a-half drive to the famed Palm Canyon Drive and explore the charming shops, restaurants, and museums.
