Most unique vrbo we've ever stayed in.
We had a great 5 day stay in Jamie's Atomic Flair. As soon as we walked in, the kids (and us) were oohing and aahing over the mid-century modern details. There are some great books to read more about MCM and Palm Springs history on the coffee table. It was warmer than expected during our stay, so the pool was enjoyed every day we were there. The pool, in particular, was very clean and didn't smell like pool chemicals at all. The house isn't perfect (it's an authentic MCM home), but nothing distracted from a great stay.

About the host
Hosted by James (Jamie) Howarth
Veteran recording engineer/producer, with a love of all things modern.
Why they chose this property
After some 10 years attending the Coachella Festival and staying in Palm Springs for vacations the area's allure was irresistible.
What makes this property unique
When we saw the unique artwork built-in to the property, the gorgeous mountain views from the original kidney shaped pool, we had to have it. It's a very happy and comfortable somewhat zany but eminently practical home.
