About this property

Sun-drenched Villa with Pool, Space and Authentic Charm!

This private and enclosed rustic property includes lush gardens, mature palms, fruit trees and multiple outdoor lounging spaces! One of the few old-world homes that has maintained a beautiful historical exterior while infusing the interior with modern features, new appliances and meticulously selected artwork that celebrates the Native American and Spanish influences of the area.

This warm and wonderful Spanish retreat offers "get away from it all" relaxation while only minutes away from great restaurants, shopping, golf, and the conveniences of downtown Palm Springs.

As you pull up to the property, you’ll marvel at the freshly painted walls and manicured walkway. The stone pathway leads you to the arched outer gateway. Plug in the provided security code and you’ll find yourself in the first courtyard decorated with desert fauna and art. Follow the brick walkway past foliage and water features to a set of antique red doors. These open and welcome you into another courtyard and the hacienda front door. A separate lockbox there, holds the interior keys.

Stroll inside and you’ll come upon a lovingly decorated open-concept living space with Spanish and Native American touches, centered around a custom teal sectional. The space receives tons of natural light during the day, and at night you can use the remote LED candle set nestled in the decorative fireplace to add ambiance. The fully updated property includes a television with streaming capabilities, cable access, and WIFI. Right on the console table, we’ve provided a Welcome Book with the WIFI code with recommendations for your stay and information about the custom artwork that decorates the property.

On the other side of the pony wall, you’ll spot the enclosed dining area. This sun-soaked room is a perfect place to have breakfast and start the day. The storage area under the kitchen buffet has pitchers, serving trays and dishware. For an al fresco dining experience, open the floor to ceiling glass double doors and enjoy the cool mountain air.

If you’re the kind of semi-pro chef who loves to get busy in the kitchen, then this is the place for you! This updated space features plenty of granite countertop space, all new appliances and kitchen supplies. All the necessary amenities for cooking and entertaining are at arm’s length. Behind you there are quick cycle programmable washer and dryer that are a godsend for long term stays.

Back in the living room, you can enjoy the artwork and Native crafts displayed on built-in shelving on either side of the newly constructed powder room. This is also where you’ll find the controller for the modernized air-conditioning and heating system.

To your left is the master bedroom. A recently completed expansion and remodel has totally transformed this space. The room now includes a separate closet area with built-in organizing space and a grand California King bed with fresh linens and plush pillows. Before you step into the en-suite bathroom, you’ll pass an etagere with oversized pool towels and bath towels. Once inside, partners will find ample space at the double vanity to prep for the day or a separate seated vanity to prep for the night. You’ll love the luxury overhead shower head in the fully tiled walk-in shower.

The first guest bedroom can be found on the other side of the living room. There is a queen size mattress and bedside charging station as well as a 6-shelf dresser and walk-in closet with built-ins. Both are a bonus for long term stays. This room has direct access to the front private courtyard. It’s the perfect space to read or enjoy a coffee. From there, you’ll flow into another new addition – a jack-and-jill bathroom! It features double sinks, a magnifying mirror and plenty of cabinet storage. The walk-in shower has a luxury waterfall shower-head and built-in shower bench. Interior design lovers will notice the accent shower tiles coordinate beautifully with the Saltillo paver floor tiles that course through the home.

On the other side of the jack-and-jill bathroom, you’ll find the best part of the expansion and remodel – a completely new 2nd guest bedroom! This spacious room also has a California King bed. The room has a comfy chair and ottoman perfect for downtime with a good book or gazing out the glass sliding doors at the pool. You can also enjoy the art featured on the walls. The owner has sprinkled incredible art pieces throughout the home, and you’re welcome to learn more about them by following the Welcome Book. It’s like a personal art tour!

Both back rooms offer direct poolside access. Step into the landscaped yard to discover a variety of towering palm trees enclosed for privacy. The pool, which can be heated, is surrounded by cushioned chaise lounges and fruit trees. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, you’ll love grilling at the custom outdoor kitchen which includes a separate burner, refrigerator and sink. Then you can enjoy your meal under the covered outside dining pavilion at a teak dining table that seats 10. We encourage all guests to use the additional plasticware dishes and utensils provided when swimming or lounging outside. For safety, glassware is prohibited by the pool.

Near the custom outdoor grill, you'll follow the staircase up to the detached casita outfitted with an additional 2 bedrooms and 2 ensuite bathrooms. You can use the antique spiral staircase or the separate outdoor entrance to access the first floor. Here you'll find separate kitchen and dining spaces. The living room has a foldout queen sofa and armoire for linens and additional storage, and a television with streaming capabilities and cable access in the casita. A perfect add-on should your party need the additional space.

Very Comfortably Chic

We loved hanging out in the beautiful desert landscaped yard and pool. There were plenty of chairs, loungers, side tables, and a nice big dining table. The house and casita were filled with southwestern art, along with a guide to the pieces and artists. We appreciated the nicely remodeled bathrooms and bedrooms in the main house. All beds and linens were very comfortable. The living room furniture was also very comfortable and easily accommodated our group of 6 adults. Comfort inside and outside!

Wow & Amazing Historic Palm Springs Estate

Arrival to Departure we were spoiled with all the amenities this property offered. The Property has been totally renovated. Looking at the stars at night poolside and enjoying the outdoor BBQ Kitchen was picture perfect. We would be happy to stay again soon and want to send our heartful thanks to Sharon and Julie.

Beautiful, comfortable and well stocked!

We really enjoyed our stay during Thanksgiving week. The house was comfortable and in a great location. The property manager, Julie was welcoming and helpful. She even offered to bring over any additional cookware we needed for Thanksgiving dinner. The home is walking distance to the Moorten Botanical Garden and a great little bar at Mr. Lyons. We hope to visit again soon.

The Perfect Family Escape

My brother and I decided to bring our families out to Palm Springs for the Easter weekend. With 4 adults, 2 teenagers, and 3 kids under 10, we weren't sure if renting the whole property would work or if it was a recipe for disaster - IT WAS PERFECT! The teens took over the top floors of the casita with my brother and his wife below, and my husband and I took the master bedroom in the house with the kids in the other room. There were plenty of courtyards and fountains with places to lounge, a lovely pool [we paid to heat it, worth it!] and indoor and outdoor dining options. Another bonus: the place is minutes away from downtown PS, restaurants and other desert highlights. My kids loved spotting all of the art throughout the city. You can stay here and feel like a local. Highly recommended for groups of all ages!

Great outdoor spaces. House needs an updating.

Unseasonably cold weather meant we couldn't enjoy the outside as much as hoped. Being able to use the courtyard and pool features more would release the special feel to this house. Pool very pleasant, the courtyard charming and the citrus trees yield delicious fruit. Street noise a bit intrusive during truck hours but the location good relative to shops, restaurants and groceries. Beautiful view of the mountains. What fine sunsets. Living room comfortable. Whole place could stand a good dusting. Kitchen tight but worked ok for breakfast and pizza with our group of eight. Good cleaning here too would help. Cooking a big meal would be a challenge. Down the street is the Moorten Botanical Garden with its cactarium. We also enjoyed the Palm Springs Mod Squad architectural tour. What we learned made the rest of the week fun as we played "find the midcentury modern feature" in all the homes in the neighborhood.
