About this property

Casa del Colibri’ by AvantStay | Luxe Estate w/ Pickleball Court

Welcome to Casa del Colibri, embraced by some of the most dramatic mountain views in Palm Springs within the secluded Old Las Palmas neighborhood. This romantic private estate, steps from Downtown Palm Springs, has the charm, aesthetic, and history to show your group a stylish SoCal experience.

A Spanish Colonial Revival first crafted in 1927 for a famed fashion designer, the home has recently been lovingly renovated — retaining all of its original architectural features — and is now a featured estate on the Palm Springs Historical Society Celebrity Homes Tour. Celebrity residents included Bing and Dixie Crosby, Sammy Davis Jr., and many others. Once owned by the Douglas family, the home even retains the pool table handcrafted for movie star Kirk Douglas.

Outside, a luxe backyard features lush landscaping and stunning mountain views. Host the ultimate desert retreat between the large saltwater pool, spa, bocce ball area, expansive lawn, spacious pavilion with a grilling and prep area, and a firepit with comfortable seating. There's even a private pickleball court ready for friendly competition.

Inside, Casa del Colibri' is a kaleidoscopic blend of colorful Spanish tiling, wood details, and eclectic decor. From the living room fireplace to the comfortable bedrooms, every space here is a curated opportunity for connection.

You'll be within a short walking distance of all the best dining and entertainment, nestled in Old Las Palmas, a premier neighborhood referred to as the “Beverly Hills” of Palm Springs. Rich in architecture and Hollywood history, this affluent neighborhood also holds estates belonging to well-known figures like Leonardo DiCaprio, Kurt Russel, and Katherine Hepburn.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

A 90-minute drive from LA, Palm Springs has earned its reputation as a long-time favorite desert destination. Attracting movie stars, such as Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra, it boasts an old-Hollywood history dating back to the 20s. Mid-century modern architecture adds to a nostalgic feel while trendy shopping, hip restaurants, and lively bars keep things modern. Hop from one renowned golf course & spa to the next, or explore the Coachella Valley desert by way of hiking, ATVs, or horseback.

Local Attractions: Palm Springs Art Museum, Tahquitz Canyon, Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, Indian Canyons Hiking Trail, Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs Air Museum, Sandfish Sushi & Whiskey, Antigua Kitchen + Bar, Johnny Costa's Ristorante

Home Truths:
- This home has a pickleball court!
- Bedroom 5 is located in the casita (ensuite).
- Please note that pool heat is not available between May 1 and October 1.
- Pool heat is available for an additional fee and needs to be requested at least 48 hours before your stay.

- This home allows pets for a fee. If undisclosed pets are brought into the home without AvantStay's approval there is a fine of $500 per pet.
- Please be aware that when you first ignite the burners, there may be a slight smell. This is caused by the pilot light blowing air through, and it is normal.
- During the summer months, desert temperatures are extremely high, which may cause the pool temperature to rise as well. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to control this.
- A patio mister is available for your comfort. The button for the mister is located on the pool remote outside, beside the spa. It is the third button from the right.

Beautiful property in an ideal location

This was a family gathering with both our daughters' families, including three children under the age of 4. It was the ideal setup... every family had a private room and bath. The property is exquisite- a large lawn to play, pool/spa, pickleball, ping-pong, bocce, pool table, bbq and covered seating area. While you never need to leave the property, it is ideally situated if you want to venture out—easy walk to coffee, restaurants, and shops. We loved our week!!!

Beautiful grounds

We came to play pickleball on a beautiful new court but it was surrounded by pebbles that got caught in our shoes and got carried onto the new court and scratched it. Pebbles should be removed. Also we all found the pillows uncomfortable, too thick and hard, so bring your own.. entry instructions were wrong having us put in a code then push handles down to enter, but there was no handle or door knob. We had to call for help getting in

Wonderful house but could be improved

Overall excellent house, facilities and grounds. Pickleball was very fun. But I was disappointed not to learn until the last day that there was pingpong table (our favorite game) in the garage, especially since I was specifically told upon asking in advance there was NO pingpong--and also flotation devises. Also, in Feb, the pool is quite cold--I don't think it's fair to charge 150 to heat it beyond the already very high house price. Perhaps you could heat it once and it would stay usable. The house manager was excellent--very helpful. But little things like should have been more evident--like plastic glasses and wine glasses. For this price, you expect attention to detail. Overall very good, and could easily be made very better.

Magnificent Palm Springs stay

This house was perfect for 6 adults and three children under 9. Home, including outdoor area was amply furnished and supplied. We used every bit of the facility. Although elegant, it was extremely comfortable. Everything worked beautifully. The location could not have been better-easy walk to commercial area. AvantStay was fantastic on all levels of service. Helpful, friendly and available. Thank you.

Exactly what we wanted

There were nine of us - all over the age of 50 - who stayed here for a week to celebrate a birthday. Each one of us had a wonderful time and are hoping to return next year. The house was exactly as represented in the description and photos. The pool, pickleball court, hot tub, etc made the property so enjoyable, we rarely left. When we did, the location was perfect as it was only a one block walk to S Palm Canyon Dr. We had a few minor issues the first couple days and Avantstay could not have been more responsive. Although it wasn't necessary, they even sent someone out to make sure everything was resolved. Definitely above and beyond. Overall, we were very happy that we chose this house to rent.

Family vacation

The home was impeccable. The grounds were beautiful. The location was perfect. Our family loved the pool table, swimming pool and Bocci court. It was too hot to play pickle ball but the court was nice. We had a little trouble cooling the back of the house and had to use portable fans to draw the cooler air from the front of the house to the back. The one bedroom that is supposed to have a trundle bed in it did not have it. It is pictured as a blue velvet bed and what is actually in the room is a single twin iron bed with no trundle. The icemaker in the refrigerator does not work. And the gas stove has a slight gas smell that emanates from the kitchen. Which I found unsettling. There is a hook up for misters outside at the outdoor kitchen/patio by the pool and we used everyday. This is not listed on the description for the listing. Otherwise we had a blast and enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Oh and the history behind this iconic home is amazing!!

A Magical Palm Spring Oasis

I have no words for the most beautiful and magical week we just spent at this property. Well worth every penny. First, the location can’t be beat - walking distance to the best restaurants, coffee shops, and shops. We really didn’t NEED a car at all - except for a grocery run. The house is BEAUTIFUL - the furniture, decor, windows, grounds, and original features were completely in line with the history of the house. It has a quiet elegance that was perfect. The beds are comfortable and bathrooms are plenty. The view, the pool, and the outdoor gathering areas were the real winners this week - we could have stayed forever. Management was communicative and thorough and quickly dealt with one issue on a Friday night - thank you! The main bedroom “wing” is warmer than the rest of the house and the internet is not strong. Those were the only minor issues. All in all — one of the best vacation stays of my life!
