Desert Bliss

Ever dreamed of going back in time and being a Hollywood star in cinema’s golden age? Well, short of finding a time machine, staying here is the next best thing. Desert Bliss is a truly sensational home in Palm Springs boasting magical views of the San Jacinto Mountains which lay right behind the home. Built in 1958 but recently renovated by midcentury doyen Christopher Kennedy, this gorgeous house has five bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a 55-inch flat-screen TV (to watch those classic movies), a fantastic fireplace and one of the most luxurious bathtubs we’ve ever seen. The fifth bedroom is out in the guest house and offers privacy for additional guests with its separate location in the pool yard. The guest house features its own wet bar, sink, mini-fridge and a large en-suite bathroom. Whichever suite you bag yourself, we think you’ll spend most of your stay admiring this slice of desert bliss from the outside. The garden is immaculately landscaped, with palm trees and tropical fauna, plus there’s a putting green, fire pit and jacuzzi. Oh, and we haven’t forgotten the swimming pool – a glorious oversized splash of aquamarine which is where you’ll find us all day long, on a lilo with a mojito in hand. When you can tear yourself away from it all, your location in the highly desired Las Palmas community in Palm Springs, means you're just minutes away from downtown shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Home truths: *You must be aged 25 years or older to rent this home *Local residents are sensitive to noise, so be considerate when you’re outside and please don’t play loud music *Guests have private access to the entrance of the home *There's free parking on the premises
