About this property

Chi Chi House - Huge Private Pool Yard!

P.S. City ID #2210 | Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age to rent

Step back in time to the Golden Age of Hollywood with this remarkable vacation rental. Located in the prestigious Deepwell Estates neighborhood, this iconic mid-century gem once served as the hip hangout for legendary entertainers like Frank Sinatra, Desi Arnaz, Duke Ellington, and Lena Horne. The authentic, retro vibe of this home has been impeccably preserved by the family of Julian Stiff, owner of the famed Palm Springs Chi Chi Lounge and Starlite Room.

The open-concept design of the living/dining/kitchen area is perfect for entertaining guests, while the three spacious bedrooms, complete with king and twin-size beds, provide a soothing and sophisticated escape for up to six guests. Outdoor living space features a shimmering saltwater pool, large sunbathing area, alfresco dining, BBQ and mountain vistas.

Indoors, you'll discover historic mid-century modern Palm Springs style with authentic vintage decor, showcasing the glamor and magic of the Chi Chi Supper Club.

The fully-equipped chef’s kitchen has stainless appliances and granite countertops. There’s a sleek, black granite wet bar in the living room. This desert paradise is situated within walking distance to Palm Springs’ hottest nightspots, galleries, restaurants, grocers, and boutiques.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES:
The Chi Chi house boasts a saltwater pool, shaded patio, sunbathing area, alfresco dining, gas BBQ, lush gardens, yard and 20 ft ficus hedge privacy buffer.

Two of the bedrooms and living areas open out to this patio via sliding glass doors. Savor a desert sunrise with vibrant hues of fuschia and gold. Lounge beside the pool with your favorite book or mobile device.

Mountain views are a highlight of this property. You will understand why Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. loved relaxing here for Sunday poolside BBQs. Desert sunsets are magical and the nighttime lighting creates a romantic atmosphere.

** The pool is heated to 83 degrees 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 **

INDOOR LIVING SPACES
The exterior is exemplary, mid-mod Palm Springs architecture. The well-designed interior fosters togetherness in the open design, and also supports more intimate groupings in the varied living spaces. The vibe is set for conversing, curling up on the settee, playing chess or sipping your favorite cocktails served up at the bar.

Rare memorabilia from the Chi Chi Supper Club adorn the interior walls. The art deco style living room embodies a Tahitian style, featuring retro Polynesian art and sculpture.

The living area of this home includes a sunken conversation area with a flagstone and slate fireplace. Jazz enthusiasts will be delighted by the original Chi Chi Lounge piano, which sits just to the left of the fireplace. You can almost hear Peggy Lee or Ella Fitzgerald belting out a tune while Buddy Greco tickles the ivories on the upright piano.

The Chi Chi House living room includes a TV area where you can relax and stream your favorite shows. Browse the web or dock your iPhone or iPad to enjoy your favorite music.

The fully-equipped kitchen and bar area offers a retro, classic vibe with thick granite countertops, state-of-the-art stainless appliances, and original retro fixtures. The original owner’s daughter remembers everyone from Rudy Valle and Jane Russell to Johnny Mathis & Louis Armstrong helping themselves to coffee in the adorable pink & white kitchen. You’re in good company here!

Enjoy views of the pool from the glass top breakfast table with upholstered seating for four. Mix a highball at the sleek bar with original club chairs from the Starlite Room. Gather for conversations in the sunken living room or formal dining table with retro seating for six.

** 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
Chi Chi House offers three spacious bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. There are two primary suites with King Beds. The third bedroom has two twin beds (which can be pushed together and outfitted to make a King.)

The primary suite opens out to the pool area and the spacious bathroom boasts a huge/double vanity with double sinks, make-up counter with chair, and a vintage tiled step-down tub highlighted by an original cut-glass window from the famous Sardi's Nightclub.

The second king suite also has a large vanity and mirrors awash in lots of natural light-perfect for getting glamorous! The twin suite, which opens out to the pool, has 2 twin beds and a full bath with period pastel tile. Each bedroom also has flatscreen TVs.

THE LOCATION
Deepwell Estates is a glitzy and classic Palm Springs neighborhood that has been home to Hollywood elites such as Tippi Hedren and Jerry Lee Lewis. This neighborhood is located walking distance from the hottest night spots, like the Purple Room, Mr. Lyon’s, the Saguaro and The Ace Hotel. The area includes a number of hip boutique hotels popular for their retro vibe and splashes of bold color.

Stroll to dynamite dining, galleries & boutiques. SOPA, Europa, Appetito and Pho 533 are five-star establishments just down the block. Indulge in rustic-chic/old-school restaurants along East Palm Canyon Drive. Grocers, sandwich shops, burger joints and neighborhood conveniences abound! Everything is within a stone’s throw of this lusciously private and impeccably preserved, golden-age dream home.

Outdoor enthusiasts will be thrilled with the proximity to stunning landscapes, including State Parks, waterfalls, and botanical gardens. Additionally, Palm Springs' famous events, like the Palm Springs Film Festival and Palm Springs Convention Center, are accessible by just a short drive.

Noise and showers
Was woke up to chainsaws on sunday and monday morning at 7:30am. There were bush trimmers in yard behind us. We couldnt sit outside and enjoy our vacation. They were asked to stopped but that was ignored. The showers were either ice cold or scalding hot.

Wonderful stay at Chi Chi House
We had a wonderful stay at Chi Chi House! We loved the mid-century decor, which was comfortable and functional. We were two couples staying there and the house was more than big enough. We especially enjoyed the layout of the backyard with the pool, lots of places to sit and a covered section for when we wanted to sit in the shade. The house is centrally located, and it was easy to go just about anywhere. We also enjoyed taking walks in the beautiful neighborhood. Check-in and check-out were easy. We hope to go back next year!

Fabulous home
Went away for a friends weekend and could not have been happier with our home selection. This mid century modern home was large, comfortable, and well appointed. All bedrooms have their own bathroom and televisions. The living space has some wonderful art pieces (watch those little ones) and is large enough for all to gather comfortably. The backyard is private with a bbq and a pool. A really lovely historical home. Would definitely book again.
