Welcome to Casa Azahara!
It's long enough that you can swim (short) laps!
You can also see Mt St Jacinto from the south end of the yard...
.... and the back of the property is an open space with its own distant mountain view.
As the day cools off, you can enjoy a late-afternoon swim...

About this property

Azahara, a Desert Retreat: 50' Saltwater Pool - Spa - BBQ - Views

Escape to our tranquil ranch-style home in Palm Springs. Splash in the 50' saltwater pool, complete with spa and tanning bench, surrounded by citrus, bougainvillea, and jasmine. Glass doors invite the outside in: step onto the shaded patio to dine alfresco — or lie out in the full sun. Socialize indoors in the open-layout living area, then nap in bedrooms painted in calm adobe colors. In the evening, admire a stunning mountain view, and at night, watch the yard flicker with subtle rainbow colors.

Our three-bedroom, two-bath home offers a desert retreat with mountain views from the front and the back of the property. Decorated in earth tones and images of the Southwest, it’s filled with golden Southern Calfornia light.

The fully-equipped kitchen includes a gas range, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher. A window over the kitchen sink looks out at the pool and the open space beyond. A large countertop open to the living room lets the chef stay part of the action and makes a great breakfast bar. And an outdoor gas grill is ready for your favorite barbecue.

The living room includes a 55" Smart TV for bingeing on your favorite shows. The dining table stands between two glass doors, bringing the outdoors inside. And at the front door, an automated Brinks security system gives you peace of mind.

The master bedroom has a king bed while the other two have queen beds. Each includes a full closet with inset shelves and drawers. And each bedroom has a view: the master bedroom looks out at the pool and open space, while the other two have face the mountains.

You’ll probably want a car when you visit us, although taxi and app-based services are excellent in Palm Springs. The city allows you to have up to three cars, one parked in the garage and two in the driveway. The spacious garage has an electric door, plus an entry directly into the house convenient for loading and unloading. You’ll find a washer and dryer in the garage as well.

The Palm Springs airport is only 5 minutes away, and downtown about 7 minutes. We are only a block from Vista Chino, with supermarkets and restaurants just down the street. Also nearby is the Escena golf club, whose outdoor restaurant offers stunning views.

People have asked us, why "Casa Azahara"? Well... we love citrus trees, and "azahar" is the Spanish/Arabic word for orange blossom. It also means bright and shining, like the sunlight in Palm Springs, and is the name of a famous medieval palace in Spain. Our logo is based on the beautiful arches that appear throughout the ruins there.

Great Pool!

We stayed during an extreme heat wave, and the pool was our savior. It's quite big, and even long enough to swim laps. There were plenty of towels, floats, and pool toys, and a nice covered patio to get out of the sun The house is comfortable are really well appointed. The kitchen has probably everything you need for cooking, including spices, sugar, and other staples. The hosts were great and very responsive. Highly recommend staying at Casa Azahara!

Lovely spot for a quiet weekend away

A beautiful home for a quiet stay in Palm Springs. Casa Azahara was very clean and well-maintained, fully stocked, and spacious. Juan Alejandro and Mark are excellent hosts who communicate well and quickly. They also kindly accommodated our travel schedule for check-in. The backyard, pool, and spa provide a serene place to relax and enjoy the desert air and sun. Downtown, Palm Springs Airport, hikes, groceries, and a locals' favorite cocktail bar are all within minutes of the home. Would happily return here when I come back to Palm Springs.

Wonderful Casa Azahara

We just returned from a 7-night stay at Casa Azahara. From the moment we booked, we knew we would have a great vacation. Juan Alejandro and Mark were very responsive and gave excellent information in advance. We felt that they were committed to giving us an excellent vacation. The check-in was easy and the house was very clean on arrival. The furniture and beds were comfortable and the kitchen was supplied with just about every utensil kitchenware you may need. The pool was magnificent. The pool was heated to a perfect temperature which allowed us to swim mornings, afternoons, and evenings even with relatively cool weather. The hot tub was a great respite to warm up when needed. We loved this house and had no problems during our stay. We would love to rent it again!

Beautiful Palm Springs!!

The house could not be nicer for a VRBO property. We have stayed in many and I would say this was the best!! Anything you needed they had there for you. The kitchen is very well equipped all the way down to spices. The living area was perfect for 6 The property is beautifully decorated!! And the outdoor space was so nice we didn’t want to leave it. Also the location was close to everything. Mark and Juan were fantastic to work with!! Complete communication!! Thank you for a great vacation!!

Excellent place to stay

This is a fabulous space in a convenient location! It's peaceful, beautiful, and so comfortable. The owners were also wonderful and very responsive, even when roof tiles flew off the roof due to a weird tornado-like wind. Though I had to leave early due to safety reasons (act of God) they worked with me and VRBO so that I could still have an amazing vacation. I highly recommend staying here!

The house is a gem. The owners are great, and were amazing to deal with. When we chose this property, we were concerned about it's proximity to the airport, but it was NO issue. Would we stay here again? In a heart beat!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Baum

Host profile image
Hello ! We're Alejandro and Mark. We divide our time between Palm Springs, Fort Lauderdale, and Bogota, Colombia.

Alejandro trained as a lawyer, worked with homeless families, and now has a bodywork practice. Mark trained as a singer and actor, works as an application developer, and performs South American music. If you're curious, search for "Mark Baum Music" on the web.

Why they chose this property

While visiting friends here in Palm Springs, we fell in love with the climate and mountain views, and decided we wanted to put down some roots here ourselves.

What makes this property unique

We love to spend time in our backyard. We designed the pool and landscaping ourselves, and it turned out exactly as we wanted. It's so relaxing just to hang out on the back patio and watch the sun reflecting off the ripples in the water.

Our property adjoins an open space so it feels especially open. And if you put out a little birdseed, birds will flock to the yard from all the nearby trees.
