About this property
Beautiful Mid Century Hideaway - featured in New York Times "Desert Cool"
Our Original restored Palmer+Kriesel designed Alexander mid-century sits on 11000 square foot lot on a cul-de-sac and was featured in the New York Times 'Home section' entitled 'Desert Cool' and was a featured home on the 2024 Modernism Week Home Tour.
Inside, you'll find classic modern treatments such as Eames tables and chairs, Case Study beds in both bedrooms, mixed with completely renovated bathrooms and kitchen with everything you’ll need. High vaulted ceilings and refinished flat cement flooring throughout with Design-Within-Reach throw rugs and FLOR tiles. The Pool, Hot Tub, and surrounding Deck have been completely updated including a 400BTU pool heater. (The City of Palm Springs ID# 770.)
**New for 2026**: Our new Red-Light hydrotherapy JACUZZI® HOT TUB features three layers of deep relief: over 46 RX hydromassage jets, Red Light, and Near-Infrared therapy. With height-adjustable seats for a custom, comfortable fit, our spa is the first brand to bring Near-InfraRED therapies to hot tubs, a research-backed technology designed to reach beneath the skin’s surface, easing soreness and improving range of motion while leaving you feeling deeply refreshed and help you reach a calm, mindful state.
The Living Room features Hi-Definition DirectTV with movie channels (HBO and SHOWTIME), Apple TV, and a SONOS sound system. The master bedroom also features a wood-burning fireplace. Wall-to-wall sliding glass doors open to a kidney-shaped pool, surrounded by palm and olive trees. There's even a private outdoor lounging/eating covered patio, framed by Frosted resin panels. 2 separate in-ground gas fire pits, one by the pool and living area, and the other by the hot tub, provide some privacy even when together on the property.
The house features iconic pool loungers from Design-Within-Reach and Herman Miller, imported tile from Japan for the pool, a 50” LED Sony, and LG Washer/Dryers. The kitchen has also been updated with KitchenAid appliances, and we feature All-Clad stainless steel pots and pans.
The house features a "whole house" Pentair water filtration system delivering bottled-water quality from every tap.
We also feature a COYOTE outdoor Natural Gas Grill with RapidSear Infrared Burner & Rotisserie AND a separate, dedicated GOZNEY DOME pizza oven.
Both bathrooms feature upgraded TOTO sinks and toilets.
A powerful 4-ton air conditioner is controlled by a Nest Thermostat.
The bedrooms feature Modernica case study bedframes and HUE dimmable lights. The mattresses in both King & Queen bedrooms were updated recently.
THREE LOUNGING AREAS: Additionally, a third seclusive lounging area off the middle bedroom (away from the other areas) by the hot tub features original Balinese wood loungers. Overall - magical and relaxing...
COMPLETE PRIVACY: The house is located on one of the larger lots in the Racquet Club Estates and is completely enclosed and private (backyard, pool, spa, lounging areas).
GOLF + PARK: While 'true' golfer's probably won't want to use the clubs we make available, we do have an old set at the house for your use...in case you want to golf at one of the local public courses for fun.
Just one block away is a large grassy park with trees and benches, etc.
Located about 15 minutes from the airport, and less than five minutes from the center of Palm Springs center of restaurants, shops, and attractions.
Recently the house was presented with a "Plum Guide Travel Award". Only the top 3% of vacation homes in each destination win the Plum Guide Award.
As a bonus, if available, we are happy to offer complementary early check-ins and late check-outs based on occupancy.
SQUEAKY CLEAN: We are here to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable, and we want our guests and team to feel safe. We are taking all the extra precautions as mandated by the city to keep the property Fresh & Clean for everyone - we've thought it through so that you don't have to.
Thanks for looking!

This house was everything as advertised. Just a great house with a specatular outdoor area as well. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to make great meals. The outdoor grill has a searing element that made grilling steaks or chicken extra special. The hot tub/spa is beyond spectacular. Our host, Marcel, was the most responsive host we have ever had and we do a lot of VRBO bookings. There were a few minor hiccups, some of my own doing like losing the house key, and he responded within minutes of my text always in a patient and helpful way. We already booked next years trip we were so delighted.
Loved our 2 wk stay. The yard and the pool were perfect for lazy afternoons after morning desert adventures. Location made it easy to head North to Joshua Tree & other desert hiking areas - but also super connected to downtown dining and shopping. Host was super responsive before & during our stay.
We loved everything. The house, the decorating, the large and private yard, the location.Communication with the owner was perfect and they were super attentive throughout our stay.
Quiet location within a short drive of downtown Palm Springs. Lovely modern architecture with authentic furnishings — we loved all the windows/doors opening to the pool area. Good amenities. We would stay here again!
The home was excellent for our family of four. The pool, hot tub and back yard space was perfect and allowed us to enjoy the Palm Springs weather. Home is in a quiet neighborhood but very close to Palm Spring downtown. Marcel, the VRBO was great and provided excellent recommendations.
Charming home with nicely landscaped back yard. The property was well-equipped with everything one would need (and more) for a relaxing time in the desert. Host was professional, responsive and helpful.
Wonderful property. The owner has taken great strides to create the mid century modern feel of the Palm Springs experience. Very comfortable home for our family. Highly recommend.
I throughly enjoyed my stay at this pleasant, convenient and comfortable mid century gem. It was clean and had everything you needed for a great vacation. The pool and hot tub were perfect. The host was attentive and even sent recommendations for weekend brunch places. Stayed 10 days and didn’t want to leave!
The house was perfect. Pool hot tub location ✔️✔️✔️. Nice quiet neighborhood. Having the Sonos was a bonus. We’ll definitely look into staying here again.
We had a perfectly wonderful stay at this classic Palm Springs home. Inside and out, it was perfect for our two week stay. The outdoor pool area is so beautiful, private and quiet. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with cookware, etc. Fabulous neighborhood. Marcel was a great host and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great stay for the long Memorial Day weekend. Property was clean, well furnished, and in a lovely neighborhood that we enjoyed walking through every morning. The owner was communicative and helpful to ensure we enjoyed our weekend. Thank you!
Stayed for a week with my two teenagers during during their spring break. Plenty of privacy for everyone, very comfortable indoor and outdoor space. The house was clean and had absolutely everything we needed. Marcel was communicative, made navigating our stay very simple. I would definitely stay there again!
Owner was very responsive and helpful. This beautiful property is perfect for relaxing and the pool and hot tub were perfectly maintained. The kitchen is full of amenities for the gourmet cook! Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway.
What a great home to enjoy a week of 80 degree weather around a pool. Everything is well stocked. Communication with the host is fantastic. The home is truly mid century so it’s a bit of a step back in time. And the outdoor setting around the pool gazing at the mountains against blue sky is life affirming.
The host was very responsive and gave us insight on Palm Springs history. It was a step back into super skinny pants and pencil point brasseries.

Why they chose this property
Located on a corner lot, our home rests on one of the largest parcels in our neighborhood of restored historical Alexander homes, allowing for two distinct areas to unwind and relax away from others while on the same property. The living area has wall-to-wall glass and sliding doors facing the pool, firepits, and a covered patio.
What makes this property unique
Privacy. The house is tucked in by large palm and olive trees, creating a very lush, private and quiet sanctuary. The house also features a very unique covered sitting area, flanked by resin walls of semi-translucent glass between the pool and kitchen, perfect for eating or relaxing in shade.
