Best Birthday Weekend!

Palm Springs getaway

The Mid Century Oasis was exactly that -a very chic, well furnished and superbly outfitted house from the glory days of Palm Springs. Super clean. The pool, spa and grounds were meticulously groomed. The house is convenient to the airport and Old Palm Springs. Perfect for 3 day getaway.

Great home with dream yard

The home itself was perfect. Beautifully decorated. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen and baths were well appointed. Yard, pool, and spa were pristine. The home is on a busy road and car noise can be heard. However, we forgot about the noise once we settled in. We loved our time here and would absolutely return.

Peaceful and serene Palm Springs getaway

This modern, well appointed and classy home just 8 minutes by car to downtown Palm Springs was just what we needed. I spent much time in the pool and lounging beside it, watching hummingbirds in the citrus trees, listening to mockingbirds, and smelling the orange blossoms. The kitchen was great, had everything we needed. The beds were firm, walk in showers were clean and spacious, the washer and dryer convenient. We loved being able to watch Netflix and had an occasional night swim in the heated pool. And we actually appreciated the “no outdoor music/noise” rule, as it kept things peaceful outside for real relaxation. Would stay at this beautiful, comfortable home again!

Midcentury modern

Beautiful, clean, well furnished home. Large rooms, well supplied kitchen. Expansive, manicured yard with plenty of outdoor seating spaces. Owners and local management were exceptionally responsive and kind. The only distraction was the proximity to the airport; handy for flying in or out, but right in the flight path.

Paradise in the desert

Absolutely fabulous stay! We go to PSP every year and this is one is one of the best - Hands down the nicest outdoor area we’ve had (citrus trees! ample seating! fantastic pool!). The house is spotless and very well equipped kitchen for people who enjoy cooking as we do. Gorgeous decor makes it really feel like home. Hosts were responsive and lovely and really wanted us to have a great stay. Hope to come again soon!

Host profile image
We live in San Francisco and like many others, fell in love and flocked to Palm Springs for the stunning fall/winter and spring weather, amazing restaurants, unique shops, the arts and relaxing nightlife. We also appreciate Palm Springs for its concentration and preserved mid-century modern architecture which focuses on easy-living in a hot desert environment with ample sunshine. The Olive House, like the Desert Modernism is recognizable by its minimalist clean lines and the seamless indoor and outdoor space that embraces the natural environment. The house was designed and built by Jack Meiselman in 1960s. We instantly fell in love with our neighborhood, Sunmor located in central Palm Springs and minutes away from Downtown, International Airport and Palm Springs City Hall. When in Palm Springs, we enjoy playing tennis, walking, hiking and riding our bikes. There are bike and walking paths throughout the City within close proximity from the house. Palm Springs has a perfect balance of nature and sophistication which provides enjoyment and laid-back destination for anyone who wants to enjoy a desert getaway
