The property was perfect for us. It was well stocked, clean, bright and in a great location close to golf, hiking, biking and restaurants. Also near wonderful neighborhoods for walking. The pool and sauna areas were large and not very crowded. Host was very responsive, proactive and helpful. Very enjoyable stay!
Sarah was fantastic to communicate with, the place was clean, there were lots of lots of lovely touches like snacks and local info and the bed was extremely comfortable. The location between the Ace and Saguaro was perfect for us, will definitely be back.

The property was in a great location. The unit was very clean and well equipped with the basics and then some. Our hosts were very friendly, communicative, and accommodating. I’d definitely stay here again.
This mid-century modern condo is just as charming in person as it is in the pictures. It was clean and well stocked, and the owner was easily accessible and checked in to make sure our trip was going well. We hope to stay here again!
We had a great time here, and walking distance to Elmers and the Reef, and we walked around the neighborhoods at night to check out the awesome MCM houses nearby. We stayed here for modernism week. Great time
Really enjoyed this condo . It was decorated so well had the palm Spring feel. The pool was amazing and heated . Loved the hot tub.

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Reed
We LOVE the Desert and all the variety it offers year 'round! We split our time between Palm Springs, Kirkland Washington, and Chelan Washington. Rich loves playing his Blues harmonicas and sitting in on local jams, working on his golf game, and home remodeling projects. Sarah loves showing off the best of the Coachella Valley to friends and visitors, and travelling back and forth between SEA & PSP for real estate clients. Both of us love to try new restaurants, shopping local and we love consignment stores, exploring the region, and we are just trying to be the person our Jack Russell thinks we are by keeping his life fun and interesting! Our boy Hooch, age 13 1/2, is a good traveler and is always with one of us helping to share our day.
Why they chose this property
There is so much to love about the Ocotillo complex - the neighborhood and gigantic pool are tops! We belong to the Twin Palms neighborhood, and its wonderful to stroll with a beverage and our dog and look at all the cool MCM architecture - holiday lights are superb in this area. Also, its such an easy spot to be to walk or jump the bus to anywhere we want to go Downtown, so technically you don't need a car if you get a rideshare from the airport. Its not a party scene at this complex - definitely the place to relax and recharge.
What makes this property unique
The amazing champange cork shaped pool and flower shaped hot tubs are the bees knees - it's obvious this was the cool cat / Rat Pack joint back in the day, and its still fabulous today! Fun Facts: Our condo has been on the Modernism Week Tours, and designer William Krisel even autographed the inside of our vintage kitchen cabinets about 10 years ago. Our condo has the advantage of having an exterior entrance, not relying on an access gate or a long walk from parking, so its direct and easy access to/from your vehicle. Super spot to reset, renew, and get your relaxation on.....
