Bubble Gum Modern: Mid-Century Alexander Retreat
P.S. City ID #003815 | Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age to rent (Proof of age required)
Welcome to Bubble Gum Modern: Mid-Century Alexander — your playful, sunshine-filled escape designed for an authentic Palm Springs experience. Bright, fun, and fabulously comfortable, this iconic Alexander home blends retro character with modern convenience for the perfect midcentury getaway. Enjoy a private resort-style yard, mountain views, and stylish indoor living made for relaxing with your favorite people. Beds: K, K, T/T (can convert T/T to K).
Fabulous resort-style pool yard fully walled for privacy. Sparkling kidney-shaped pool and spa. Swanky outdoor bar. Multiple fire features. Loads of sunshine and mountain views that set the tone for long, easy days by the water. This home was even featured on the 2018 Modernism Week Home Tours — a testament to its design pedigree and photo-ready vibe.
A PART OF PALM SPRINGS HISTORY This classic Palm Springs pool home was built by the iconic Alexander Construction Company in 1960. It has been lovingly restored to celebrate its midcentury roots while elevating the comfort level for today’s traveler. Original design elements like the post-and-beam ceilings, flat roofline, and open-concept floor plan remain — now enhanced with high-speed internet, updated heating and cooling, and four flat-screen TVs.
A beautifully preserved piece of architectural history, thoughtfully updated for modern living — delivering that nostalgic-meets-next-century Palm Springs experience guests love.
OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES Step into pure Palm Springs outdoor living. The yard is private, spacious, and oriented around stunning mountain views. Lounge by the kidney-shaped pool, relax in the spa, freshen up in the outdoor shower, or enjoy cocktails at the outdoor bar with its own fire feature. Alfresco dining, BBQ grilling, and a separate firepit lounge make it easy to spend your entire day outside, soaking in the desert sun and the glow of star-filled evenings.
** 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 Inside, this designer home is bright, open, and filled with cheerful midcentury energy. Vaulted ceilings and walls of glass invite in natural light and create a seamless indoor–outdoor flow. Pops of color, curated artwork, and playful decor make the home feel fun and uplifting — a perfect backdrop for photos and group gatherings. The well-stocked kitchen opens to the living and dining areas, making it easy to cook, entertain, or unwind together after a day in the sun.
** The term "Pets Allowed” or “Pets Accepted" at an ACME House Company vacation rental means that we welcome dogs only. No other pets are allowed. **
SLEEPING QUARTERS Each bedroom feels like a boutique hotel retreat, complete with comfortable mattresses, smart TVs, ample storage, and access to a private courtyard. The Primary Suite features a king bed, ensuite bath, and direct pool access for the ultimate morning swim or evening soak. Two Guest Rooms share a hall bath — each offering a king bed, with one room able to convert to two twins for added flexibility.
THE LOCATION Located in Racquet Club Estates, one of Palm Springs’ most iconic midcentury neighborhoods, this home places you close to everything. The airport, convention center, and casino are minutes away, and you’re less than a mile from world-famous Palm Canyon Drive, where restaurants, boutiques, galleries, nightlife, and coffee shops line the vibrant corridor. Grocery stores and everyday conveniences are also nearby — making this both a stylish and incredibly practical home base for your Palm Springs stay.

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you loved the backyard, décor, and convenient location. We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another stay anytime!
We had a great time at the Bubble Gum house! The spacious backyard with the pool, hot tub and multiple seating areas was PERFECT. The kitchen was well stocked and there was coffee (coffee pot has a reusable filter) and tea. We did get a bit warm during the evening since the air does not go below 74, but it was not unbearable. The neighborhood is the perfect mix of mid century modern houses and Steve McQueen’s home was one block over. Such a fun time and we recommend doing the Aerial tram, Joshua Tree NP, and eating at High Moon for brunch.

Thank you for the great review. We’re glad you enjoyed the spacious backyard, pool, hot tub, and seating areas — and that the kitchen, coffee, and tea met your needs. Appreciate the local recommendations — the tram, Joshua Tree, and High Moon are favorites. We’d love to host you again at the Bubble Gum House!
We stayed at the bubblegum modern home for a girls weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our mini-vacation! The amenities were great, pool was dreamy, and the pink hot tub was our favorite hangout!

Happy birthday, Melissa! Thank you for your review, and we're so glad you had a fabulous stay with us. We hope you'll visit Palm Springs again soon!
The property was super cute! We loved the outdoor space and spent the majority of our time in/by the pool. Even though it was still a bit warm at night we also enjoyed the fire features. Overall we had a great experience staying here!

Thank you, Kate! We're so happy we were able to provide you with a five star guest experience and we hope you stay with us again soon!
We enjoyed staying at this recently redone property. The interior rooms are a bit small and the walls are a bit thin but the backyard is quite large and we spent most of our time outside enjoying the pool, jacuzzi and firepits. A/C locked at no less than 74 degrees and it was a bit hot at night. There are sliding doors in every room with no screens but no windows in the house which proved difficult to achieve cross ventilation through the house at night with bedroom doors closed. The bathrooms also are very small, albeit very clean and water pressure was good. Despite trying to obviously achieve a certain aesthetic, furniture in the living room was not very comfortable or ideal for gathering to watch tv, etc. Couch was very small/narrow and only one person could stretch out (and only two small throw pillows). Would be much better/user friendly if there was a sectional and less chairs. Kitchen was functional but lacks a bit in storage space and the fridge is wedged against an exterior wall which made it a bit difficult to get items in/out of the freezer. Oven is a bit slow to heat up and reheat, especially after opening to check on the status of items being cooked. Property is in the north and so you are in the flight path of the airport which is a bit annoying but mountain views are epic, especially from the hot tub. One note: power lines run across the backyard behind the property and these are not pictured in any of the photos so best to face towards the mountains and enjoy the natural beauty.

Thank you for your very detailed feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at the Bubble Gum Modern, especially the pool, Jacuzzi and fire pits. We're sorry you didn't have a 5 star experience and we take your feedback seriously.
We enjoyed our stay at Bubblegum. The house is nicely decorated has a beautiful pool and spa and is in a quiet neighborhood in downtown Palm Springs. Palm Springs is very strict about noise levels not allowing music outside and children must play quietly. This does make the neighborhood peaceful but if you have children please be aware of these ordinances. The folks at Acme were very helpful and did their best to make our stay pleasant.
Nothing but fantastic things to say about the entire experience. Backyard is huge and pool and spa wonderful. Great vibe all around. Would definitely recommend…
We loved everything about our stay at Bubblegum Modern. The house is stylish and immaculate with a well appointed kitchen. The outdoor area—pool, spa, lounges, and dining areas—is where we spent most of our time. It was perfect!
My family and I loved this house from the moment we stepped inside! We wanted to experience this classic Palm Springs style house and we certainly got that. Loved the attention to detail inside and out. Perfect for our family of four. Would definitely return!
Wonderful Property to Vacation or Work/School From
This property is all about the outdoor spaces for enjoyment and relaxation. You can work or school from the two desks, dining table, bar top, or any of the outdoor seating locations. Entertaining you and your guests is easy with the two sliding doors right into the kitchen and living room. Outdoor BBQ, hammock, fire pits, heated pool and spa are really great amenities. Looking forward to our next stay at Bubble Gum Modern!

Absolutely love this rental! Great house with a great backyard.
Nice clean place felt really safe with the steps they took during Covid.. the management team responded quickly to any questions we had. We have a VRBO of our own in Colorado very impressed with their service would definitely recommend.
I rented the house to bring my kids for a much needed break from E Learning in Chicago. It was perfect and I’ve never encountered a kitchen stocked so well. We cooked dinner every night.
The house was great! Wish we could have stayed longer! Everything we needed was right there! Property manager was very nice and helpful.
Beautiful pool and house! Thank you!
Everything was well equipped and cleaned. The only thing i didn’t like was the bed, it was too soft had back aches every morning.

It was all great with no problems, overall a great experience---house was close to downtown Palm Springs for shopping.
The outdoor space with multiple fire features, seating areas, hot tub and pool was fantastic! Exactly what our family was wanting for our Fourth of July getaway. The house is adorable with its decor and cleanliness, and was well equipped as far as tech (for the teenagers) and amenities (kitchen, laundry, A/C, etc.). It was the perfect size for our family of 6 and two dogs.
