About this house rental
NO LONGER A SHORT TERM VACATION RENTAL. 30-day minimum as required by new Cathedral City regulations. Still one of the most expansive and dramatic views in the Coachella Valley. This home backs up to 15,000 acres of National Monument Land, (not another house in the view between the home and Mt. San Jacinto) and provides a totally pristine, serene, desert retreat experience.
The private residence of a New York advertising executive, a complete renovation of the property was completed in August of 2011. The fixtures, the furnishings, and the amenities were chosen by the owner's architect for her personal use. Now the owner's work/travel schedule has made this a spectacular spot for the demanding vacationer or winter escapee.
Indoor/Outdoor living at it's best. The 650-ft shaded lanai offers pleasant shelter from the sun during the day and it's recessed lighting and outdoor furniture make this second living/dining room, a spectacular place to watch the sunset over the snowcapped mountains.
PLEASE NOTE: We honor all Riverside County rules for COVID mitigation.
The Mamounia: master bedroom features doors that let out onto a private pocket garden and an ensuite bath whose glass wall shower was designed for two. Queen bed and Moroccan accents make this a bedroom where dreams do come true.
The Standard: 1st Guest Bedroom with access to pool and mountain view. Queen bed and spacious mirrored closet, this room is also fully equipped with a complete pop-up office: desk, printer, scanner, fax, phone with free Canadian calling. The guest bath, directly across the hall, is a riot of white tile and Palm Springs accents.
The Royalton Study. Furnished with DWR day bed. This room is a cool quiet sanctuary for reading, listening to music or streaming your content. Glass doors open directly on the pool and provide views of the mountains.
Living Room/Dining Room/Kitchen: Forming a spacious open plan for living, these three rooms are furnished with: Moss, Morroso, Ingo Mauer, Sapien, Saarinen, Boerner and many interesting mid-century accent pieces. The all stainless steel kitchen features an Electrolux Professional Stove. There is a gas barbecue just outside the east kitchen door. Flat Screen mounted above the fireplace.
The Pool: Redone in 2022, it is one of the old fashioned egg-shaped pools. It is deep enough (9.5' at the deep end) to keep it swimmable even in the hottest afternoons. Heated during the winter, it provides just enough length for lap/exercise. There is a 'Dinah Shore Shelf' for partially submerged sunbathing, easy-access steps for entry, and an attached spa/hot tub for soothing the muscles after a hike behind the home.

The house was great. Perfect spot to call home while in the Coachella Valley.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Mar 2025
The property is well maintained, with the exception of the concrete floors which need some TLC. Great location. Lovely views from the patio and the front yard. Wished for a little softer bed, but we bought a pad and that took care of that. Saw some beautiful sunrises. Any questions we had were answered promptly. Loved the pool and surrounding patio.We were very sad to leave. Thank you for sharing your home!

We stayed at this wonderful oasis in February 2024. The House is older but well kept. Beds and linens were comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. If you didn't know there were houses all around you would think you were totally alone. The view from the pool area was magnificent. My husband enjoyed the hiking trails behind the house. Pool area and yard were tended weekly. We had no problems, but owner was easily contacted either by e-mail or phone. We loved sitting by the pool and watching the various birds that came around. We would definitly stay here again.
5.0 / 10.0·Jul 2013
We had the opportunity to spend 2 months in this beautiful private home. It is located in a quiet, peaceful neighbourhood but close to shopping and all that Palm Springs has to offer. On arrival, the place was immaculate. The owner even has blankets of the dog!
Our dog loved her daily walks in the hills directly behind the house- the trails and the views are outstanding. We also enjoyed sitting on the elevated side patio and admiring the lights of Palm Springs in the evenings.
Susan (the owner) was great to work with...always very easy to contact.
All in all, a fabulous home and would highly recommend it to everyone. Will return again!
