Escape the outside world in this upscale condo. Coined, "Nicest Unit in the Complex." Boasting tile floors throughout, a spacious living room welcomes you with double-pained/tinted windows giving you panoramic views of mountains, multi-million dollar homes, one of which being a world-renowned musical entertainer, mountain view splendor and gorgeous desert landscaping surrounds you. Wanting privacy? No problem! All windows are double-pained, and have honeycomb blinds protecting both your privacy and maintaining a cool and comfortable space to relax and chill. Two 55-inch digital televisions with surround sound will bring you that favorite game and movie night experience you desire in both the living room and bedroom.

The bedroom features a queen size bed, dual night-stands, a five drawer dresser and a whopping 55 inch television.

Unwind at one of the two pools or spa at Desert Skies. Lounge in the sun, enjoy a cookout at the pool with the natural gas grill and chill out next to the gas fire-pit. One pool is heated to 85 degrees or enjoy the naturally heated cooler pool and bubbling 105 degree spa for a relaxing warm up while gazing at the stars or palm trees above.

Charming condo

Comfortable and spotless condo in a great location. It’s a lovely and safe neighborhood to walk around and enjoy the mid-century architecture. Everything needed for a long stay is provided. Todd was quick to respond to a couple of questions I had. The pool area is ideal and not overly busy. I loved my stay at Desert Skies.

5+ Stars

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The condo is just as pictured, tiny and immaculate as far as cleanliness. We loved that we could hike with trails across the street. Todd is the most gracious and the kindest host we have encountered. We appreciated the 'little things' that meant a lot, his responsiveness to our questions, willingness to add channels so my husband could watch golf. It was a colder winter than normal so not as much time at the pool as we would have liked. Thank you Todd! The world is a much better place because you are in it.

Excellent

Totally impressed with this spot. Oder property, but the property as a whole is well maintained and the individual unit is spic and span updated. Exactly as you see in the photos. Unit well equipped with all the needs and most of the wants. Owner was easily accessible and a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend for a single or couple.

Awesome place, location, and host!

I Stayed for the month of July with the intent to explore moving to Palm Springs, and this was a great backdrop for a wonderful month!. The condo is not only beautifully decorated, but comfortable and convenient to everything Palm Springs has to offer. My sister accompanied me for the first week, and used the bedroom, and I can confirm that the couch is as comfortable for sleeping as well should you want to have additional short-term guests. The rain shower in the bathroom is very relaxing, and a cool shower at the end of a hot day was very relaxing and enjoyable. This is my first experience using a bidet, and I don't know how I've lived so long as an adult without one. I enjoy baking, and the kitchen was well appointed with everything I needed to make dishes to take to potlucks I attended in the area. The host checked in frequently and offered to re-stock any commonly used items. The complex was quiet and well maintained and the pool area was very secluded and relaxing. I highly recommend staying if you have the opportunity, and l hope I get the opportunity to stay again as well! Thanks Todd for a wonderful stay! Michael Sosinski

Great spot to call your temporary home!

This place is great! The interior has been completely renovated and everything is brand new. The rooms are beautifully decorated, excellently designed and very inviting. The kitchen has every tool/gadget you can think of which is great if you like to cook. The South Palm Springs location is awesome with easy access to lots of hiking/nature. You're surrounded by mountains and hills which is lovely for walks around the neighborhood and you're just a short drive to downtown shops and restaurants. The pool is super relaxing, the condo complex is peaceful and the neighbors are friendly. And to top if off, Todd is a wonderful owner who is super responsive and accommodating. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Todd Christensen

Host profile image
I was raised in Southwest Michigan and grew up on Lake Cora, located just 20 minutes from the "Other West Coast" of Michigan. Coined, "The Other Great Lake." I grew up with an appreciation for nature, the land and with a respect of Mother Earth. I spent my career pursuing dual paths in both the US Army reserve and as a Police Officer for the City of Kalamazoo. Retiring from both careers by 2012 and 2014 respectively I now live in wonderful Palm Springs.
I've been visiting SoCal since 2003, when I first experienced Palm Springs. I FELL IN LOVE with PS right away. The blue skies, fresh air, mountain views and desert, coupled with the vibrant "village feel" of Palm Springs made me feel welcome and right at home.
For fun, I'm a published Author and I enjoy bartending, collecting rocks, identifying birds and recently took up surfing.

Why they chose this property

When I walked in the door the very first time and saw the view of the mountains and then discovered the detail in the complete remodel of this fully furnished and decorated to the nine's condo I fell in love! My first impression though were the friendly neighbors I met as I walked along the pool taking in the views. I immediately felt welcomed and the other residents were excited for me too. I made an offer the very first day and within exactly one month I took ownership of unit 1 and a dream came true. I was a real "Snow Bird!"

What makes this property unique

There's always something to do here in the Coachella Valley. From total relaxation to the exciting downtown shops, restaurants, night clubs, supper clubs, upscale resorts and spa's, casinos and the HUGE music festivals such as Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival, White Party Palm Springs, Club Skirts Dina Shore Weekend, and so much more!
Need an escape from the heat? In just under two hours you can be lounging on Newport Beach and explore the coast.

Another great adventure is Idyllwild, CA. See those mountains with HUGE pine trees on the top ridge? It's just an hour drive and you can be in the cool weather or the snow! Even quicker is the Palm Springs Tramway on the Northside of town off Highway 111. Joshua Tree National Forrest is only 40 minutes away and along the route you get to enjoy Yucca Valley and a quick detour takes you to Pioneer Town where some of America's classic western television shows were filmed on what is still an active movie set. I enjoy an annual trip to Landers, CA just North of Joshua Tree (The desert drive is truly a unique experience) and you must visit the Integratron for some great "Alien" history and you may even have an out of body experience inside the structure as you enjoy a sound bath. Check it out!! Hiking, Golf, Tennis, Exploring to Museums and an amazing Air Zoo museum right here in Palm Springs. Just two blocks way is the Moorten Botanical Gardens.

There's so much to see and do. For me, I most enjoy just lounging at the pool and exploring a new hike in an area I've never been. Download the All-Trails app on your smart phone and a whole new world will open up for you. If you're a Veteran show you VA I.D. Card or military I.D. at both Indian Canyons and Tahquitz Canyon entry points for free access and of course Joshua Tree is a National park with free access to military veterans.
