About this house rental

Architectural Digest called this property one of the 10 "most architecturally intriguing ***bnb rentals" and again chose it as the California pick for the
"59 Best ***bnb Stays Across the US" in 2022

Relax by the private pool and feel like you stepped back in time at this mid-century oasis located in the historic Racquet Club Estates neighborhood. This classic 1959 Alexander has been restored for a modern lifestyle with vintage details and a reverence for Bill Krisel's original design. This is a house for the vintage enthusiast who appreciates a curated home with historic touches.

The kitchen features Heath tile, Terrazzo counter tops, and mountain views. An infrared gas grill is ready for your poolside BBQ. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare a holiday meal. The kitchen and living space feature walls of glass overlooking the sparkling pool. Refinished concrete floors run throughout.

In 2022 the pool was resurfaced and the turquoise tile replaced with a new version of the original. The yard is hedged and and fully privacy fenced with a new block wall and includes an expanded side patio with a hot tub that's preheated for your use for no additional fee. If you choose to heat the 15' x 30' pool with a 8' deep end, it will be warmed for your arrival to 92 degrees which is warmer than most vacation rentals and very comfortable in winter. Pool heat is $100 per night and it must be heated for the duration of your stay.

An open floor plan lounge room provides relaxed viewing of the 55" TV with Roku Netflix and more. There's also a Roku TV in the primary bedroom and comfy beds in all three bedrooms with memory foam mattresses and cotton linens. The primary bedroom has a king and it's own bath, the middle bedroom a queen, and the third has two twins both with a shared main bath. House is stocked with Public Goods bath products. The central bathroom is spa style with Heath tile, Terrazzo floors and custom built cabinetry made to emulate the original design and the primary bath has the original sunken tub and 1950's yellow tile .

Perfect place for our holiday vacation!!

This is a stunning home. The owner has taken great care to insure that every detail is perfect. It's tastefully decorated and so comfortable that we hated to leave even for dinner. The kitchen is incredible. Everything you need is there and if you like to cook you will be very happy. Our dog loved the private backyard and the heated pool was wonderful. We would stay here again without hesitation. Thank you, Joann for allowing us to stay at your lovely home.

palm springs is our favorite get away spot, we come here at least 3-4 times a year. we usually stay in hotels, but this time we wanted more privacy, just a place to unwind without other people around. we couldn't have found a better place! from the moment we pulled up at the house, relaxation set in. on the outside, a beautiful classic alexander with great desert landscaping. on the inside, a perfect mix of midcentury modern cool with warm touches to make it cozy. we felt like staying at a friend's house who had just left for the weekend. impeccably clean, and all the amenities we admittedly couldn't live without even on a lazy weekend. wi-fi, big screen tv, i-pod dock, and best of all, a heated pool. great kitchen and bbq, too. to be honest, we didn't leave the house all weekend, except for evening walks through the great racquet club neighborhood and occasional grocery runs. but for those who want to explore palm springs, you couldn't be in a better location, minutes away from bars, restaurants, hiking and biking trails, and the tram. communication with the owner was prompt and pleasant, and check-in was easy. hotels might be a thing of the past for us, if we are lucky and this place is available for our next visit!

This place is amazing! Stayed here over the weekend and didn't want to leave. We felt completely relaxed from the moment we arrived. The view of the mountains from the heated pool is to die for. Very quiet neighborhood close to uptown. We threw a couple steaks on the grill and stayed in one night. The kitchen has everything you need. If you have never stayed in an Alexander house and are looking to one day, then I highly recommend this place. The layout and decor is ideal for chilling and recharging. Would definitely come back.
