3rd Rock - Ultra-Luxury Palm Springs Retreat
P.S. City ID #004901 | Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age to rent (Proof of age required)
Welcome to 3rd Rock, a breathtaking luxury Palm Springs vacation home designed for elevated indoor–outdoor living under the desert sun. Nestled in the exclusive Araby neighborhood—just below the historic Southridge Estates once home to Bob Hope and Steve McQueen—this modern retreat combines iconic architecture, panoramic mountain views, and a private resort-style pool and spa, creating one of the most memorable Palm Springs vacation rentals in the area. Beds: K, K, + Bonus Sleeping Area with pull-out King sofa
The expansive open-concept floor plan makes it easy for your entire group to relax and reconnect. Walls of glass slide away to blur the line between indoors and outdoors in true Palm Springs style, creating a seamless flow from the chic living spaces to the private resort-style backyard.
OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
Step into a private Palm Springs backyard oasis designed for leisure and style, featuring a sparkling pool with tanning deck, integrated spa, fire pit lounge, and panoramic desert mountain backdrop. The centerpiece is the sparkling pool with tanning deck and integrated spa, surrounded by chaise lounges and shaded areas for lounging. Gather around the fire pit lounge as the sun sets, or enjoy alfresco dining and a BBQ grill under the desert sky. Towering palms, native landscaping, and panoramic mountain views set the stage for unforgettable moments.
** The pool will be 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. Spa heating 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, modern luxury meets comfort with an entertainment-ready open floor plan and a chef’s kitchen equipped with premium appliances—including a 60-inch refrigerator, dual dishwashers, wine cooler, and spacious center island — all overlooking the dining and living areas with sweeping mountain views. The dedicated movie room functions as a flexible third sleeping area with a convertible couch that expands into a king-size bed, a large flatscreen TV, and patio access —ideal for additional guests or families needing extra space.
** 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
The sleeping quarters offer luxury hotel-style comfort, mountain-view bedrooms, and private patio access designed for relaxation. The luxurious Primary Suite features a King bed, ensuite spa-like bath with steam shower, and direct pool-yard access with clear mountain views. The Guest Suite offers another King bed, ensuite bath, and private patio access. Both suites include hotel-quality mattresses, flatscreen TVs, and ample storage.
The media room adds flexible sleeping space with a Lovesac convertible couch that expands into a king-size bed. The soft, supportive design creates a smooth, comfortable sleep surface for overnight guests. This room includes a custom closet, direct access to the third bathroom with a shower, a large flatscreen TV, and a private deck.
THE LOCATION
3rd Rock is located in the coveted Araby neighborhood of South Palm Springs, known for its dramatic mountain backdrop, architectural homes, and quiet upscale setting. You’ll be just minutes from the South Palm Springs Business District, world-famous Palm Canyon Drive, and top dining spots like Mr. Lyons, The Purple Room, and Elmer’s—making this home the perfect base for exploring Palm Springs while enjoying total privacy.
