A slice of heaven in Palm Springs

This is my second time in this lovely home. My first was a girl's birthday weekend and now with my family. The inside is open and beautifully furnished with modern furniture and a well equipped kitchen. It is clean and comfortable. There are 3 large super comfortable bedrooms with their own bathrooms and everything has been redone. The location is great -- quiet neighborhood near a park and a short walk to town. But the best part is the gorgeous backyard with the original mid century shaped pool and landscaping to die for!. The setting is so serene, private and pretty and I love the outdoor shower. My husband and I hope to be back for a third visit sometime soon. Best rental I have ever stayed at...!

Wonderful Home and Great Location

We stayed for a month in this lovely home in the Movie Colony and right across the street from an enormous park. We took full advantage of the gorgeous front and back yards, pool, and especially loved the outdoor shower (heaven!). The house was immaculate and well stocked. Our intermittently visiting friends enjoyed their own wing with its access to the pool and large shower. While one could niggle over a few things outside the control of the owner, such as occasional loud traffic noise and construction at an adjacent home, and a water main issue, the features of the home easily outweighed them. The owner, without being intrusive, was remarkably responsive and helpful with every issue, responding to every text within a couple of minutes. We really enjoyed our time here and look forward to a repeat visit in the future.

Perfectly Located

This is a great house, perfectly situated next to Ruth Hardy Park and walkable to downtown restaurants and shopping. We used the bikes, which were fun and so perfect for getting us downtown for morning coffee! The park has morning aerobics Monday-Friday taught by a true blue fitness icon, Ted Guice, who leads you through 45 minutes of low-impact 80's style cardio. So fun, and so many people there that become your instant PS friend group! About the house, it's very clean, has everything you would need and more for a comfortable stay, was ideal for our dog, the pool and grounds were lovely. One of the best features was the outdoor shower.

Perfect holiday home in Palm Springs

Michael’s place certainly has the “wow” factor even before you get inside. The grounds are maintained to a very high standard and the wonderful pool is perfectly set just a few steps from the rear of the house in a green oasis with wonderful views of the mountains beyond. There is an immediate impression of luxury when entering the open plan living / dining room kitchen. The feature wall in the living room end houses a huge flat screen tv and beautiful real flame gas fire which we enjoyed during some of the cooler January evenings. During the day it was great being able to open up the room to the garden and pool using the multiple sliding glass doors. We also appreciated the fully equipped kitchen and the separate laundry room. All three bedrooms had comfortable beds and it was great that each one had its own luxurious wc / shower room. Personally, though, I took Michael’s tip and used the wonderfully heated and invigorating outside shower after my daily early morning swim! To top it all off - Michael’s villa is perfectly placed - with its close proximity to Ruth Hardy Park and all the life of Down Town Palm Springs an easy 25 minute stroll or 5 minutes drive away.

Perfect Palm Springs Hide Away

Stunning property in Palm Springs that totally met all of our needs and expectations. Perfect location across from large park that is an easy and short walk to everything downtown. A combination of a modern home with beautiful views from the front and back. The backyard and pool area feels like your own private resort with a combination of lush gardens, shade, and full sun. A perfect place to either hide away and disconnect from the world in total privacy or to get out and be active with everything Palm Springs has to offer. In over 25 years of vacationing in Palm Springs this is among the best places I've ever stayed!

A great house in a great location

Great house with a lush and private yard with sparkling pool. Right across the street from Ruth Hardy Park and within walking distance to all the shops and cafes Palm Springs has to offer. Would absolutely still here again if I was visiting Palm Springs.

A Wonderful House in a Central Neighborhood

We really enjoyed the Movie Colony Neighborhood, where this house was located. It was easy to walk to Palm Canyon Drive. There were five of us, and the house was a great size since we had three separate bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms. We had everything we needed. Because of the foliage in the backyard and the tasteful fencing, it felt really private while hanging out in the backyard by the pool. It was a short weekend for us, and we would have loved to stay longer.

Beautiful home, beautiful setting

Wow. This place is amazing. The house is beautiful, bright, spacious and very well maintained. The pool and gardens are perfect for relaxing in the warm winter sun (we stayed over New Year). A short walk to downtown and right across the street from Ruth Hardy park, the location has something to offer everyone. We're looking for an excuse to come back! Highly, highly recommend.

Beautiful and Relaxing Property

We absolutely loved our 'Hilton Estate' stay this week. The property is in a great location (the Movie Colony) within walking distance of the Palm Springs restaurants and shops yet it is extremely private and quiet. I wanted a 3 bedroom home with separate baths for each room and a large shady backyard with pool and a large great room. This property provides all of that and more. Fantastic! The owner Michael was always prompt in answering any questions and easy to work with. We're definitely looking forward to the next time we can rent the property.

Outstanding experience! Gorgeous, pleasant, serene

What an amazing home. You can feel the history here, and the back garden captures the best of desert flora. The pool area is shaded nicely by the palo verde trees for much of the day, so if you seek a little shade, it's there for you. If you seek sun, it's right there too. The outdoor shower (hidden in the corner) was pleasant and really cool. The home itself is nicely appointed, and flows nicely. Common area opens to large back yard through a wall of sliding glass, and each bedroom features its own bath. We had a great time here, and didn't want to leave. The location is excellent, with a large park across the street. Shopping and dining nearby, although we were more inclined to relax in the home and make our own meals. Highly recommended!

Mid-Century Gem that's COMFORTABLE & Pet Friendly TOO - in AMAZING WALKABLE LOCATION!

Our stay at this mid-century gem was beyond incredible. 10 STARS out of 5 STARS! Our stay was an extended stay – just over 4 weeks. We searched everywhere for a COMFORTABLE looking and well appointed Palm Springs rental that had lots of ENCLOSED grassy area for our pack of dogs that we traveled with. This home was absolutely perfect. We’ve stayed in other Palm Springs rentals and as lovely as they can be they’ve always seemed as though they were an intentional real estate investment for the owners and therefore various special features in their renovation were overlooked. We’ve had issues with Palm Springs rentals having old closet doors that basically don’t slide, impossible to move sliding doors to the outdoors and old showers. This was not the case with this rental. Michael, the owner clearly made sure that his home was up to his own impeccable standards. I was hoping that the photos would lead to a property and home that was even 50% as good as the photos revealed but it was 110%. Nitty gritty: Location – AMAZING. Ruth Hardy Park is right across the street. If you have a dog or dogs there’s an area there where locals meet at end of day and let their dogs run about in heaven. It was incredible. Even though it was super hot during the day when we were there, the dogs loved it early morning and end of day. It was very close to our favorite restaurant – The Purple Palm. No hooligans welcome there – which we love. Classy and refined and quiet. Kitchen – totally well stocked. Able to allow us to enjoy cooking at home in the kitchen and with BBQ. Bathrooms – there are FOUR of them! Three ensuite bathrooms and a ‘powder room’ or bathroom for pool enjoyment. The main room is gorgeous and very comfortable. The kitchen was fab for cooking and chatting. ***The Outdoor Shower***!! – Heaven. Heaven. Heaven.

Perfect Getaway!

I rented Michael's home for a special birthday weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect! His home is lovely and comfortable and set up to have both great shared space in the living room, kitchen and outdoors as well as private living space with bedrooms set up in separate wings. It is well furnished and comfortably spacious. The garden and pool area was my favorite "room" in the house with beautiful landscaping, a gorgeous view of the mountains and even an outdoor shower! It is centrally located near town and just a short walk to some of my favorite restaurants. The whole experience including the booking was easy and perfect and Michael could not be a better host. We will definitely be back...

AMAZING HOUSE!

I can't emphasize what a great time we had at Michael's house. Not only was he a gracious and responsive host, but his house was absolutely beautiful. Great open floor layout, huge backyard, in a quiet, upscale neighborhood. The house was clean and fully stocked with amenities. We opted for a heated pool since we stayed in December and it was amazing. We also were able to bring our small dogs with us and they had an awesome time running around the huge backyard. The house is located very close to the center of Palm Springs and the neighborhood is very walkable. There is even a big park across the street. I can't wait to stay here again and highly recommend this property. Thank you, Michael!

A True Gem!

This is such a fantastic vacation rental. The house is so cute and clean, me and my girlfriends loved it. Some of the best things to have during the summer are a nice big pool, outdoor seating, bbq, ice maker on the fridge and good A/C...this place has it all and more! The fact the owner allows dogs is fabulous since for many of us they're our fur family members so being able to bring them was great. We will certainly be back. A few local tips...the park across the street is nice for an early morning walk with your dog; Trio restaurant allows dogs on the patio and doggy bowls; check out the cupcakes at Over the Rainbow.

Fabulous Vacation Retreat!

My family was thrilled to find this property on VRBO for our recent stay. As we are new to VRBO, I read multiple reviews for so many Palm Springs rentals and this one lived up to all of our expectations. The home is situated on a wonderful corner lot, with SO much privacy. The front yard is walled and gated (as is the yard surrounding the pool) creating a great and safe space for our three year old niece to play. The backyard is simply stunning, with a large pool, abundant patio space and even grass! Chaise lounges, an oversized umbrella and AMAZING zero gravity chairs make spending the day by the pool a breeze. If that wasn't enough - there are even pool floats! Inside, the home offers every amenity that you could wish for - the standards, WiFi, cable, etc. - but there are even Apple TVs and fully integrated home sound, which make enjoying your music or shows so simple. The three bedrooms are very well appointed, and each being en-suite is a bonus when traveling with family. If you a searching for an ultra private home that is located literally walking distance to dining and shopping - this is it! It is a true private resort experience, right in the heart of Palm Springs!

ALL AROUND PERFECT. A TRUE MID CENTURY GEM

The house, AV equipment, pool, landscaping, views and location were ideal. The owner and concierge made our two month stay a true vacation. The layout of the house is perfect for entertaining large groups or as a quite retreat for a few. Could not recommend more and look forward to staying here in the future.

Trip of a Lifetime!

I turned 40 last year so I wanted to celebrate it with my closest friends in a place where we could make a week of memories that would last forever. I'd always wanted to go to Palm Springs and when a friend recommended this house I figured it was the Universe's way of telling me it was a perfect combo...and boy was the Universe right!!! Our week at this home was truly unforgettable, and there were more than a few moments when I had to pinch myself just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. My friends and I can't wait to come back!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exceeded our expectations

We just got back from our amazing weekend at the Hilton Estate, and all I can say is WOW. It's not often that you step into a place that you book online and it's better in person than it is in photos. That was the case for this home. From the funky mid-century entry, to the impeccable landscaping, to the beautiful, modern design, this home is truly a special place and it's obvious that each person who stays there loves it as much as we did. We were there with 2 other couples and they all loved it as much as we did. It's the perfect environment to spend time with friends. Each room has it's own bathroom, so it still offers a lot of privacy. The open kitchen and living area flows right into the beautiful backyard. We enjoyed swimming in the heated pool during the day, and loved watching it illuminate in different colors as we enjoyed wine by the fire at night. The owner and house manager were also very communicative, which set a great tone for our trip from the very beginning. My husband and I cannot wait for our next visit!

Was Sad to Leave

What an incredible experience we had at this beautiful House. It was truly sad to leave and return to normality. The heated pool, the amazing landscape, the very clean interior, attention to so many details. We skipped all planned activities in and around town once we settled in and turned on the beautiful fireplace. I am a Private Chef and therefore naturally drawn to the Kitchen. It was fully equipped, commercial grade stove/oven, with a bright, spacious layout and design of the kitchen island, sink etc. It is immediately noticeable how much love and care the owner has put into it and it automatically entices you to take elevated care of it as well. My 2 year old daughter and I spend hours in the heated pool, especially shocking since it was a rainy day, hahahaha. We loved it, we didn't want to exit it. The bedroom layout couldn't have worked out any better for us since we brought my 74 year old mom with us. One Bedroom was in one wing, the other 2 bedrooms on the opposite, which allowed her to rest and read most of the time and us be close to our daughter. Last but not least, I would like to outline that our interaction wit the owner was simply excellent. Easy, clear directions and very welcoming. Like your best friend. I cannot wait to go again. The Hilltop Estate is the first choice for us then again.

Why they chose this property

Full modern renovations inside and out while maintaining mid century charm and history. The backyard and landscaping make this a very private, relaxing environment that does not disappoint. The park accross the street is great and you can walk to the uptown design district in town for food, drinks, shopping in 10 mins.

What makes this property unique

Some of the unique benefits of this home include: the location; the open great room that showcases indoor outdoor living in a classic mid century way; the backyard pool area and landscaping are gorgeous; the lighting indoors and outside are perfect for all occasions; the mountain views from the front and backyard are unobstructed and wonderful; my favorite spot inside is the leather chaise for 2 in the center of the great room or in the pool; speakers in all rooms to enjoy music and entertainment; fruit trees in front yard include lemon, lime and orange.
