About this property
Mid-Century Modern Alexander - A Desert Garden
Architectural Digest called this property one of the 10 "most architecturally intriguing ***bnb rentals" and again chose it as the California pick for the
"59 Best ***bnb Stays Across the US" in 2022
Relax by the private pool and feel like you stepped back in time at this mid-century oasis located in the historic Racquet Club Estates neighborhood. This classic 1959 Alexander has been restored for a modern lifestyle with vintage details and a reverence for Bill Krisel's original design. This is a house for the vintage enthusiast who appreciates a curated home with historic touches.
The kitchen features Heath tile, Terrazzo counter tops, and mountain views. An infrared gas grill is ready for your poolside BBQ. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare a holiday meal. The kitchen and living space feature walls of glass overlooking the sparkling pool. Refinished concrete floors run throughout.
In 2022 the pool was resurfaced and the turquoise tile replaced with a new version of the original. The yard is hedged and and fully privacy fenced with a new block wall and includes an expanded side patio with a hot tub that's preheated for your use for no additional fee. If you choose to heat the 15' x 30' pool with a 8' deep end, it will be warmed for your arrival to 92 degrees which is warmer than most vacation rentals and very comfortable in winter. Pool heat is $100 per night and it must be heated for the duration of your stay.
An open floor plan lounge room provides relaxed viewing of the 55" TV with Roku Netflix and more. There's also a Roku TV in the primary bedroom and comfy beds in all three bedrooms with memory foam mattresses and cotton linens. The primary bedroom has a king and it's own bath, the middle bedroom a queen, and the third has two twins both with a shared main bath. House is stocked with Public Goods bath products. The central bathroom is spa style with Heath tile, Terrazzo floors and custom built cabinetry made to emulate the original design and the primary bath has the original sunken tub and 1950's yellow tile .

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Joann
I am not a property manager and this is my personal vacation home where I spend time. My intention is for the care put into them will be felt by guests. The best compliment is being told of the memories guests create and when they become return guests.
Why they chose this property
The Racquet Club neighborhood was built by the Alexander Construction Company in 1959 and designed by architects William Krisel and Dan Palmer as vacation homes. It's a fun place to walk around and look at the architecture.
What makes this property unique
The front is landscaped with desert and native plants but the backyard is lush with real grass, a tall privacy hedge and shade from trees and a patio cover. It's a welcome contrast to the all concrete, artificial turf and gravel backyards and the hummingbirds love it too.
