About this house rental

Step into Palm Springs history at Thanks for the Memory, a 1935 California Ranch estate once home to Bob and Dolores Hope. Located on two private city lots in Movie Colony East, this walled and gated five-bedroom property combines Old Hollywood glamour with modern resort-style amenities. With one of the largest private pools in Palm Springs, multiple outdoor living areas, a spa, pavilion, casita, and pool house, this iconic retreat is designed for families, groups, and anyone seeking a one-of-a-kind desert getaway. Beds: K, K, K, K, Q

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES The estate opens with breathtaking mountain views and a 45-foot resort-style pool surrounded by chaise lounges, alfresco dining, and a fire pit lounge. The rear yard features a private spa, a covered outdoor living pavilion, a second dining area for ten or more, and a built-in BBQ. Guests can enjoy yard games including shuffleboard, croquet, foosball, darts, and lawn games, all shaded by towering palms and citrus trees. Whether you're sunning by the pool, dining under the pavilion, or gathering around the fire pit at sunset, the outdoor spaces deliver the perfect blend of relaxation and entertainment. ** The pool will be heated upon request with an additional service fee. Please let us know if you'd like to heat the pool so we can ensure it is heated before your arrival. If you home has a spa or hot tub, heating the spa is included with your rental at no extra cost ** ** Please Note: 1. This fee is not included in the quoted price on some booking platforms. 2. Pool heating may be added in minimum of 3 day blocks per request **

INDOOR LIVING SPACES Inside, the estate has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its historic charm. Hollywood Regency art, midcentury furnishings, custom wallpaper, and nods to the Hope family create a vibrant backdrop for your stay. The free-flowing floor plan features high ceilings, walls of glass, and travertine marble floors that keep the interiors light and airy. Guests can pour a martini at the original mirrored bar where Bob once entertained Hollywood legends, then relax in the spacious living areas designed for conversation, cocktails, and connection. With multiple lounge spaces, colorful décor, and plenty of photo-worthy details, the interiors are as postable as they are comfortable. ** The term "Pets Allowed” or “Pets Accepted" at a Casago vacation rental means that we welcome dogs only. No other pets are allowed. **

SLEEPING QUARTERS The main house features three suites, each with its own personality. The Bob Hope Suite — Bob's original bedroom — includes a king bed, mirrored walls, a flatscreen TV, ensuite marble bath with double vanity, and walk-in closet with his original tie rack and shoe shelf. The Dolores Suite features a king bed, walk-in closet, private half bath, and fabulous wallpaper. The Atomic Room offers a queen bed, starburst wallpaper, and a connected bath. The detached Casita provides a private entrance, king bed, ensuite bath, desk, and a tropical Old Hollywood vibe. The Pink Lemonade Pool House, located at the front of the property, includes a king bed, ensuite bath with restored vintage tile, and private entrance. An additional cabana bath with shower is conveniently located off the pool area. With three suites in the main house, plus a casita and a pool house, this estate offers both privacy and flexibility — ideal for large groups or multi-generational getaways.

THE LOCATION Movie Colony East is one of Palm Springs' most prestigious neighborhoods, celebrated for its architecture, history, and walkability. Guests are just a quarter mile from Palm Canyon Drive and the Uptown Design District, with its restaurants, coffee houses, art galleries, and boutiques. Ruth Hardy Park is within walking distance, while the Convention Center, casino, museums, and live entertainment venues are only minutes away. This location strikes the perfect balance between quiet seclusion and easy access to the best of Palm Springs.

This was the PERFECT rental for a group of 10 college friends celebrating our 50ths (could also be good for couples or bachelorette group)! We enjoyed the house and all of the amenities. Loved the citrus trees for limes and lemons in our drinks! The pool and hot tub were great after a hot day of shopping and the tram. Walkable to downtown. Short Uber ride from airport. Fun to see photos in house of Bob Hope and his family. Would highly recommend.

Pool was heated, Jacuzzi was excellent.Great kitchen, rooms were comfortable.Just wanted to note a couple things.Two of the rooms are not directly accessible from the main house. For us, this worked out well fortunately.There were a few ants inside the house, so may need some more attention.We got a kick out of the tour buses driving by

All 9 of us had nothing but compliments when we first walked in the gate. That created a positive vibe that kept with us the entire time. The Bob & Delores Hope theme was present, yet complimented the Palm Springs "Movie Colony" feel. Open environment with the living room engaged with the kitchen and outdoor pool deck. Pool, Jacuzzi, darts, shuffle board, BBQ, and more. Rooms were large and spacious with one of them cute but decorated to make you smile. Close to downtown Palm Springs, 111 highway, Tram, and hikes. We left with great memories!
