Tiki Retro Paradise w/Pool & Spa

One of Palm Springs' most iconic properties, Tiki House Palm Springs is a mid-century modern 1970's style house that was built in 1961 by famed architect William Kreisel. Designed by Tracy Turco, the house has been seen in Dwell and Atomic Ranch magazines, as well as on various tv shows. A stylized retro gem, the house is a must for any tiki enthusiast. Evoking a bygone era of whimsy and charm, there's no better place to sip an exotic cocktail, kick back and give in to the tiki vacation gods.

Our lovingly restored, classic tiki house is a burst of eye-popping burnt orange, accompanied by a dash of chocolate, a squeeze of lemon yellow and some maraschino cherry on top.

Featuring three bedrooms inside the main house, additional space in the casita, and plenty of outdoor space, you will have several photo opportunities in one of the most unique properties in all of Palm Springs. The home is located in the Little Tuscany neighborhood and is a relaxing space that includes a secluded backyard, complete with heated pool & spa, outdoor dining area, and several chaise lounges overlooking the mountains.

The home was impeccably remodeled by famed Palm Springs designer Tracy Turco and features period furnishings & fixtures (including some originals), along with updated appliances and many features that make your stay comfortable and convenient. The bright and colorful living room has plenty of windows, a gas fireplace, flat screen SmartTV and plenty of comfortable seating for your group to relax and unwind in.

The living room opens to the fabulous dining area and kitchen, featuring new stainless steel appliances and plenty of countertop space for you to create that perfect meal. The entire living and dining room area has windows and glass doors opening out to the breezeway. This area separates the main house and the casita, features a BBQ grill, and leads to our lush backyard. A tiki wonderland, the backyard area features a covered dining table perfect for al-fresco meals under the desert sky amid several tiki torches.

Our three bedrooms are inviting and unique. The primary bedroom contains a King-size bed, en-suite bathroom and dedicated workspace. This bedroom has a sliding glass door leading directly to the backyard. The secondary bedroom features a King-size bed, en-suite bathroom, and sliding glass door leading directly to the backyard. The third bedroom features a Queen-size bed, en-suite bathroom, direct access to the backyard, and a Smart TV. The private casita has additional sleeping on a sleeper sofa, en-suite bathroom and SmartTV. There's also a laundry room in the casita.

The tiki-inspired aesthetic of our landscaped outdoor area really steals the show, offering privacy and stunning views of the mountains in either direction. Several comfy chaise lounges & chairs, tiki torches, outdoor dining table and plenty of additional seating allow you to relax and re-energize under the stars.

Additional amenities that you’ll enjoy are complimentary ultra fast WiFi throughout the house, three SmartTVs, a washer/dryer, stainless steel appliances, driveway parking, and complimentary toiletries in every bathroom.

Our tiki house is the ideal desert retreat, with nearby activities for all seasons. We hope you enjoy and make it your own special themed oasis!
