"The backyard was the best! Between the pool, jacuzzi and large grass yard. We spent the majority of the time outside and it was perfect. Can be very windy at times."

About this house rental

Spin your way into the hip Palm Springs vacation rental – PS Moondog. This modernized midcentury classic was originally owned by renowned DJ Alan Freed, who coined the term 'rock and roll' for his 1950's radio show “The Moondog Rock and Roll Hour.” Set against a beautiful view of the San Jacinto mountains, this home is a classic Palmer and Krisel designed, Alexander build on an expansive lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Cool and colorful interiors, classic midcentury modern style and a large back yard with lots of amenities, it's the perfect place to cool your jets and relax into the Palm Springs groove.

The home opens with all of the shared living space to the right and a hallway to the left that leads to all of the sleeping quarters. An open concept floor plan, the well-stocked kitchen offers a six-burner stove with side oven/warming station and granite island with counter seating and casual indoor dining for up to 6. The living room enjoys the classic post and beam ceiling, gas fireplace, and sliding glass doors from both the living room and kitchen/dining area. The living room has a large flat screen TV and satellite cable and plenty of seating and lounging.

Down the hall to the left, you have two bright, inviting guest rooms both with queen beds that share the remodeled guest hall bathroom with a walk-in, tiled shower. In the hallway, there is a stackable washer and dryer you may use to refresh your pool towels (provided) or that Teenie, Weenie, Yellow, Polka Dot Bikini! The primary suite sits at the back of the home and offers a King size bed, built-in cabinets, a large flat screen TV with satellite cable, remodeled ensuite bathroom with walk-in tiled shower and glass slider access to the rear yard.

Outside has a Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On with a large bocce ball court, a generous sparkling pool (with a brand new attached spa just added this winter of 2026), outdoor shower and plenty of room for your Hound Dog to roam. Exiting off the kitchen is your propane gas BBQ for easy access and a comfortable new seating area to lunge or catch up on life with your friends and family as well as a separate dining table for those sunset dinners and meals under the stars.

Located in historic Racquet Club Estates, the birthplace of the Alexander mid-century aesthetic, you're just minutes from downtown, the airport and restaurants. The neighborhood is rich with architecture and history. It should be noted the city has sound ordinances that are strictly enforced. The owner(s) like to stress this home is ideal for a dream vacation and relaxation but is by no means a “party-central” home. Each guest is expected to be as good a neighbor as the owner(s) themselves. Special events like weddings are NOT allowed.

Guest count: limited to 6 overnight guests (plus an optional two of those two are under the age of 12).
Parking: limited to 3 cars present at any time.
- Per City ordinance, no music is allowed outside the (fully enclosed) home, at any time of day.
- Per City ordinance, we are required to have your ID on file. After booking, we will request an picture of the front of your ID.
- Per City ordinance, you must be 25 years of age or older to rent this home.
- Pool Heat is optional but available for $69/day; usually appropriate to heat the pool mid-October to late June. Some advertising platforms will have us add pool heat after booking. Feel free to confirm as necessary.
- Where pet(s) are accepted, this is dog(s) only and we cannot host any other kind of animals in our home.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It could not have been more accurate to its description and photos. The pots and pans could use updating as most (if not all) were non-stick and coming apart, which can be toxic. The pool was divine and heated to perfection!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: PS Moondog is something out of a 60’s postcard. From the outside architecture to the interior details this house is a gem. Well appointed with everything a couple or family would need for their stay. Quiet culde sac location in the storied RacquetClub Estates neighborhood which is close to the North Palm Springs storied stores and restaurants. Robert from Relax Palm Springs was extremely helpful with any request.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2020
First I'd like to say that the Relax PS team was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Unfortunately, though, the house felt much smaller than advertised, and a bit rough around the edges (part of the backyard, for example, was covered in dirty pool toys and umbrellas when we arrived, and many of the walls looked scuffed). The heated pool and bocce court were great, and the kitchen well-stocked, but certain elements felt really rental-ly, like the couch, which was wildly uncomfortable. We ultimately enjoyed our time in Palm Springs but would look at other rental options next time.
