About this property
Mellow Yellow Butterfly – Iconic Alexander Home
P.S. City ID #003422 | Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age to rent (Proof of age required) | No Pets Allowed Step into Palm Springs history at this remodeled 1961 Alexander Butterfly home in the coveted Racquet Club Estates neighborhood. Featured on the Palm Springs Modernism Week Home Tour, this architectural gem combines its classic midcentury pedigree with modern updates for today's lifestyle. Guests will love the private saltwater pool and spa, two dramatic fire features, and spectacular mountain views — all framed by signature walls of glass. With its resort-style amenities and playful touches, this three-bedroom retreat is designed for relaxation, style, and fun in the desert sunshine. Beds: K, Q, K (can convert to T/T).
OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES This backyard is the ultimate Palm Springs playground. The heated saltwater pool and spa take center stage, surrounded by lounge chairs, shade umbrellas, and a hammock perfect for lazy afternoons. The outdoor kitchen includes a built-in barbecue, serving counter, and ice chest, making it easy to host poolside meals. Dine under the covered pavilion or gather in the outdoor living room, anchored by a striking two-level fire feature that sets the mood after dark. The backyard also offers a rolling lawn area, an outdoor shower, and breathtaking mountain views. Step through sliding glass doors into the converted game room with ping pong and extra hangout space, keeping the fun going all day and night. ** The pool will be heated upon request with an additional service fee. Please let us know if you'd like to heat the pool so we can ensure it is heated before your arrival. If you home has a spa or hot tub, heating the spa is included with your rental at no extra cost ** ** Please Note: 1. This fee is not included in the quoted price on some booking platforms. 2. Pool heating may be added in minimum of 3 day blocks per request **
INDOOR LIVING SPACES The home's design honors its Alexander roots with open-concept living, clean lines, and original post-and-beam ceilings, while adding modern conveniences throughout. Walls of glass fill the living and dining areas with natural light and connect seamlessly to the backyard. The living room is comfortably furnished with a spacious midcentury-inspired sectional, a vintage Elvis movie poster, and a 55” 4K television paired with premium Martin Logan speakers. Guests can stream music through Pandora or internet radio and enjoy cinematic sound while relaxing indoors. The dining area and kitchen flow effortlessly together, creating a social hub for shared meals, cocktails, and conversation.
SLEEPING QUARTERS Each bedroom has been thoughtfully styled with hotel-quality mattresses, crisp linens, flat-screen TVs, and ample storage. The primary suite offers a king bed, an ensuite bath, and a private courtyard patio with direct pool access. The second bedroom has a queen bed with easy access to the hall bath. The third bedroom includes a king bed that can be converted into two twin beds upon request, providing flexible accommodations for families or groups.
THE LOCATION Located in Racquet Club Estates, one of Palm Springs' most celebrated midcentury neighborhoods, this home offers both style and convenience. Palm Canyon Drive is less than a mile away, giving guests quick access to world-class restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and art galleries. The casino, convention center, and airport are also nearby, while casual dining spots, coffee houses, and grocery stores are just around the corner. Whether you're here for Modernism Week, a family getaway, or a sun-soaked retreat with friends, this iconic Alexander home puts you close to everything while offering a private resort-style escape.
