How can you be humble when you're gorgeous? This spacious elegant home has it all.
This stunning south pool/backyard mid-century beauty has been renovated and updated. The posted rates are excellent value for what this property offers in terms of style, design and cool factor.

You will love this home! It has clean lines and incredible views that extend through the house. It is for the discriminating (and design conscious) traveler.

The signature feature of this 2,908 square ft. H-shaped house is that the dining area, living room and master bedroom - the entire south-facing back of the home - wrap around to embrace the views of the pool and mountains to the south. The whole back consists of large glass walls and sliders that bring the view (the graciously large and classically designed pool, the palms, the sun, the mountains) inside the house. Private and privileged is the only way to describe it.

Beautifully restored and brought up to date with all of the conveniences, well-equipped and with exceptional design integrity. New solar panel system and solar pool heating/cooling system were recently installed, keeping energy costs down, plus a new spa and outdoor shower.

First and foremost, the pool...Ahh, yes the pool. The patio is truly an outdoor living space, and you will love the pool whether you get wet or not (but I highly recommend it). Huge wide gracious steps allow you to determine, at your own pace, whether it's going to be a full dip or you just want to dabble your toes. The pool was built literally around two historic date palm trees, which occupy two corners of the pool (the entire area was originally a date farm). A half circle on the opposite side arcs around a lovely fountain that can be set to your liking and provides a lovely musical water sound as a backdrop to your day or evening.

A hint of this magic is suggested from the front of the house. A brilliant beveled glass door allows just glimpses of the sunny green and turquoise paradise beyond, and suggests the luxury of the home's many modern chandeliers and sparking bathroom pendants, as well as the simplicity and quality of it's genuine (and rare) terrazzo* floors.

A full BBQ outdoor kitchen is there to serve you while you relax or entertain, with a large BBQ and granite counters. Generous seating on comfortable outdoor sofas and chairs, as well as an outdoor dining table and chairs allow you and your guests to eat, drink and enjoy the pool and views throughout the day.

The living room is huge and the ultimate in cool: fabulous for both entertaining and hanging out by the very modern fireplace, with aqua coloured fire glass, or spread out on comfortable huge new white leather sectionals, watching the 70' TV (if you can take your eyes off the view). Modern pot lighting highlights the classically mid-century modern slump-stone walls, which are painted a luminous silver!

Lovely evening views of the trees, shrubs and pool, lit up at night, dramatically extend the view from the living and entertaining areas - as well as the master bedroom if you want - into the backyard and water at night.

The brand new modern kitchen, including kitchen 'bar' (in the modern sense, with stools at the counter) is superb and relaxed, whether for entertaining a group or that casual private meal, and always with the view present. Dishes are modern and stylish and there are plenty for entertaining. Espresso maker allows you to make your own latte in the morning. Large pantry and closet allow you to tuck away absolutely everything to keep it looking lovely .

The stunning and sexy laundry room (really!) is designed with the understanding that it serves as the 'entrance' to the home for the main inhabitants, from the vantage point of the 2 car attached garage. A striking stacked stone wall and brand new metallic grey washer and dryer in a large laundry room, with walk in utility closet, at once spoils you - and allows you to keep the house looking picture ready (when you want to).

The master bedroom elegantly opens from expansive glass south and west sides onto the pool area. What a way to wake up! What a way to enjoy your day! The master has two attached bathrooms (his and hers?): a cool and strong (masculine, classic) pool bathroom, which also opens with huge wide sliders onto the pool area, as well as a large master bathroom, with the original real onyx stone tub surround and vanity retained, and a shower and classic roman tub.

In addition to the master, there are two additional bedrooms, one of which can serve also as a den or office. All 3 bedrooms have a TV. Bedroom 2 has two queen beds and bedroom 3 has one queen and a desk. All three bedrooms have large glass sliders, with gorgeous 'vertical sheers' that offer all the flexibility and privacy options you will need: whether fully open to enjoy bright views, lovely soft light through sheers, or fully closed for full privacy and room darkening.

Some details: lovely crystal and modern chrome door knobs strike a balance between modernism and Hollywood glam. Original hooks for pool towels outside on the east path which skirts along the master bath, the main guest bath and the main bathroom sliding doors toward the pool were retained as part of the funky/old school character and are great for families and guests who want to sneak from the pool directly to their bedrooms.

A street legal 4 seater golf cart with new lithium batteries is generally available but please confirm. Please advise specifically if you would like to arrange for use of the golf cart.
* FYI: terrazzo is a solid poured concrete floor with chips of marble, honed to a smooth finish, that was very popular in the 60's. This one was poured in place, about 4-5' deep, within a 3' x3' stainless steel grid, and has been gently restored.


Please note that due to an ordinance of the City of Indian Wells, rentals of under 30 days are not permitted and max permitted occupancy is to sleep 6 though there are 4 beds: 1 king in the master and 3 queens.

We stayed here while enjoying the Indian Well’s BNP Paribas Tournament. Our stay was lovely and the host was so kind responding to any questions we had. The property is paradise. The decor and setting are spectacular. Wonderful neighborhood to walk around. We look forward to staying at the property in the future!

Nice house great neighborhood

We enjoyed the house, we had minor problems with a couple things not working but the owner tried to get things fixed. We were disappointed that the golf cart is inoperable, we hadn’t been informed. Also the hot tub is not in the ground with the pool, it is above ground

Paradise in Indian Wells

Our stay was better than expected. The host was super in communication and the house itself was better than the pictures. The view from the back yard is specular I couldn't help thinking I was in some far away Island with all the Palm Trees and mountain views. I would definitely stay here again and longer that 2 months next time.

Indian Wells Gem

We had the most wonderful month long stay in Margot’s incredible Indian Wells resort like home. The home was incredibly clean and stocked with everything you could imagine including an electric juicer to make fresh grapefruit juice from tree out back. The bedrooms and beds were so so comfortable and the living areas and porch were perfect for family and friend gatherings. I have rented a lot of VRBO homes and this one was the best! Hoping to come back again soon.

Indian Wells

Beautiful location in Indian Wells, close to El Paseo restaurants and shopping. The neighborhood was friendly and a safe place to talk long powerwalks. The patio and the views are great, just like the pictures. Some of the patio furniture is probably due for replacement, but the location is tough to beat. The kitchen was well stocked. The layout of the house was very comfortable.

Beautiful home in Indian Wells

My husband and I had a wonderful month long stay in the home. The property is in a beautiful small neighborhood tucked away yet just off the main road. We really enjoyed the open layout with the focal point being the swimming pool in the center. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and then some. My husband is an avid tennis player. He got a month membership at Indian Wells Tennis Garden for an affordable fee and he was in heaven. Plenty of restaurants and shopping within minutes of the home. If you want an oasis to come home to after a busy day yet close to all the amenities, this home is for you. We're looking forward to returning again soon.

Quiet and Great Pool

This is a nice property in a great central location to El Paseo on one end and La Quinta on the other. We had a good time enjoying the pool. Big and deep on one end which is good for kids safety if they dive or jump in. Nice graduated pool steps and tanning shelf. South facing location kept the pool warm enough to be refreshing. We only heated it once about 18 hours since the granddaughters were coming and wanted to swim at night. They loved it! Some nice days in the high 90's days kept it warm during the day. Bushes could be cut back on far side because you have to brush against them to walk around the pool. We really liked walking to the Thursday Cook Street Market and Don Diego's for dinner. Even walked to the Miramonte for breakfast (about 3 miles round trip) many mornings. Great oatmeal. The house has a great layout for family and guests. The guest bedroom with the two queens is a real plus. All the beds very comfortable. Love the way the house is separated into wings.. Don't know when the kitchen and laundry were remodeled but they are very nice. Kitchen was well equipped. There are some things that do need to be fixed, replaced or touched up but it didn't deter us from enjoying our time there. Fun to see the fruit left on the trees and growing already for next year. HVAC worked well and the TV's were easy to operate although there were not premium channels you could get Netflick, etc.

Fun MCM in Great Location

We had a great visit to Indian Wells in this mid-century modern home. The owner had it decorated for entertaining and our guests loved it. Oversized, delightful pool. The house has great flow with all the suites separated from each other. The host was very responsive and easy to get ahold of for any questions we had and when an unavoidable issue with the rental came up. Well-appointed kitchen for cooking and entertaining. A great location close to Hwy 111 but still quiet and private. Head to IW Coffee for great coffee and muffins 2 blocks away. We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful Pool

We enjoyed our stay at this very lovely vacation rental. The location was great and the house had everything we needed. The pool was beautiful - it was one of the reasons I choose this house and it did not disappoint. The owner was excellent to deal with giving clear directions/instructions. The teenagers enjoyed the trips to the gym in the golf cart which was an added bonus to the vacation! We have stayed in other vacation rentals in Palm Springs - I would definitely recommend this vacation rental if you are looking for something very clean, up to date and very comfortable. Did i mention the pool? Thank you Margot - we had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Margot Langdon

Host profile image
We are Canadians, a retired lawyer (now a realtor) and , who love the outdoors and plan to spend more time in the Palm Springs in the not too distant future. We love tennis, golf, cooking, socializing and fitness.

Why they chose this property

I have a strong interest in design and studied architecture (Pre-Masters Qualifying at U of Manitoba) before I returned to law. I retired from law in 2016 and have been working part-time as a realtor since then. Back in about 2011 I fell in love with the desert. After looking at a lot of properties, this one was clearly exceptional, from a design perspective as well as the sunny south mountain and palm tree views and the huge classic pool. I love the water, and love to enjoy the outdoors and views, both in solitude and while entertaining or hanging out with friends and family. I have a deep and abiding love for beautiful design and the space, views, light and lines spoke to me - loud and clear. In fact my heart skipped a beat as soon as I saw it! It was an untouched, totally un-renovated, mid-century modern that had not been maintained for many years, and I had a dream about how beautiful it could be again.

What makes this property unique

The space, light, gorgeous pool and south mountain and tree views of this through the glass walls are incredible all day from most of the house. You will look forward to getting up in the morning and going out for a latte in the seating area facing the pool and mountains. It calls your name!! Then you will look forward to any opportunity to lie by the pool - and then you will notice you are already looking forward to cocktail hour, and turning on the pool lights and landscape lighting! The lighting of the house is so beautiful in the evening that you will seek any excuse to have guests over to share it with.
