About this house rental

Located in the stunning, highly desired, and walkable Indian Canyons neighborhood in South Palm Springs.

Welcome to Casa Di Vetro ("The Glass House"), a unique designer-owner remodeled California Modern architectural home that was featured in the prestigious Signature Home Tour by Palm Springs Modernism Week in 2020, and also included in the tours in 2021-2024! Featured in several books and magazines including "Canyon Country Club: History and Design of Palm Springs' Garden of Eden" (Treinen, 2025), "Palm Springs Weekend" by Hess and Danish, this stylish gem stands proud on the famed Indian Canyons Golf Resort. The distinctive long colonnade entrance leads past gorgeous desert landscaping to the iconic, oversized, Palm Springs yellow doors. Inside this amazing home, you'll find an open-concept floor plan, with 14 ft. walls of glass, spacious interiors, white porcelain-tiled floors, extensive accent lighting, and fine minimalist modern furnishings and decor throughout. With over a dozen sliding glass doors, clerestory windows and multiple viewing decks and patios, there's no end in sight of the breathtaking surrounding mountains!

Relax in the private salt water pool, soothe your muscles in the extra-large jetted spa, or take some sun in the submerged Baja tanning deck. At the end of the day, gather with your friends around one of the two gas fire pits under the stars. This resort-style home is a great match for guests with high standards, seeking the true Palm Springs lifestyle.

The interior designer-owner of this home has completely remodeled and updated it in a Modern Italian International style, with luxurious desert indoor/outdoor living in mind. It features 3 large bedrooms with 3 full baths (2 ensuite), a glamorous powder room, spacious professional-grade kitchen, private dining room, with vintage chandeliers and original modern artwork throughout. You will love the open feel that this unique architectural home provides while still offering privacy. Each of the two large principal suites has the feel of a luxury hotel. Both offer direct access to the outside patio or pool. The third bedroom features 2 queen-size beds.

Step outside through sliding glass walls to take full advantage of the indoor/outdoor Palm Springs lifestyle. Slip au naturel into the private sparkling salt water pool to cool off... or lose yourself in a book under the shade of an umbrella on one of many chaise lounges. It will be hard not to relax as you take in the fresh desert air and become mesmerized by our plentiful, breathtaking mountain views!

The house is located in the desirable and typically wind-free south end of Palm Springs in the heart of the prestigious Indian Canyons neighborhood. You will enjoy fabulous and private resort-like accommodations with a large pool deck, private outdoor shower, 9 chaise lounge chairs, On the back patio, recline on cushy sectional seating around the gas fire pit with endless views of the green golf course, while sipping a refreshing beverage and admiring the sunset behind the San Jacinto Mountains. Then, enjoy a fabulous dinner prepared al fresco at the well-equipped stainless steel outdoor kitchen and one of our 2 patio dining tables, each with seating for 6.

Once the sun is down and the sky starts to darken, the real drama of this unique home begins... The pool illuminates, turning the water into a gorgeous deep blue hue. Together with the expansive intersecting panels of glass, the pool cleverly reflects the architectural design of the house and surrounding mountains with breathtaking beauty! Extensive landscape lighting will also showcase the gardens and palm trees, creating an intimate ambience for you to enjoy.

On the interior, the unique split bi-level main living room in the core of the house features a pool-level cocktail area with a fully-equipped wet bar with ice maker, mini-fridge, wine cellar, and plenty of glassware, as well as a raised seating area/home theater by the fireplace with incredible panoramic views to the majestic mountains and clear blue skies beyond.

The kitchen is fully-equipped with a wide variety of high-end cookware, numerous utensils, and small appliances that would make any chef happy.

We had an amazing stay at this Palm Springs home and couldn’t have asked for a better place for our family of six. The house was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully set up so everyone had room to relax and enjoy themselves. The outdoor areas were a highlight—perfect for relaxing in the sunshine and enjoying the classic Palm Springs vibe. The location was ideal, close to everything we wanted to do but still quiet and peaceful. The host was responsive and helpful, making the entire experience seamless from start to finish.

This is our second visit and, as before, we were delighted with the house. It is in a perfect location, the kitchen is a cook's delight, the view from the sitting room towards the gold course and the mountains is wonderful, and the pool is great for swimming

This house is beautiful. It is in an excellent location on the golf course yet near to all the facilities that Palm Springs has to offer. The pool is very private and perfect for swimming lengths. We had a wonderful stay thanks to the kindness and thoughtfulness of Michael and Jerome.
