About this house rental

OVERVIEW

Amongst other custom estate homes tucked into the hills of Little Tuscany sits this private and secluded 3,765 square foot, 4+ bedroom 4 bath villa with panoramic mountain and valley views. Come enjoy the quiet seclusion of a special property that backs onto a serene nature preserve. Sophisticated yet understated luxury, Villa Mariposa offers a unique and special getaway for friends and families. New construction in 2003 ensures all house systems are modern and efficient, while the architecture and décor evoke timeless elegance. This is where cherished memories are created.

Villa Mariposa is gracefully terraced in small increments into the Palm Springs hillside. At the level entrance the villa has a spectacular dining room and den which also serves as a 5th sleeping area. Two steps up to the right-side is the bedroom wing comprised of 3 luxurious en suite King Bedrooms, designed with private separation between sleeping areas due to the well-placed closets and baths. Likewise, just two steps down to the left-side wing resides the Chef’s Eat-in Kitchen, Living Room, and King Guest Bedroom #4. Most of the rooms open out to the spectacular backyard and incredible Mountain View.

BACKYARD POOL WITH SPECTACULAR VISTA

Surrounded by spectacular and unique desert vistas, the expansive furnished and beautifully landscaped backyard features a heated, freeform natural stone PebbleTec pool and spa, a substantial boulder fire feature, BBQ grill, tanning lounges,  outdoor dining and living areas, and outdoor shower. Pool floats and outdoor games provided.

INTERIOR LIVING SPACES

Once you enter Villa Mariposa you should prepare to be indulged. At first you will be greeted by the formal dining room and den. The dining room seats 10. Two sets of large French doors lead out to a sitting area with a panoramic view of the pool area and vast desert vista beyond. The wrought iron chandelier, a large fireplace, built-in custom cabinetry, and carefully chosen art all add ageless ambiance to this spectacular space.

The Chef’s Kitchen is generously equipped. The large center island houses ample counter space, a copper prep sink, and extra storage. The kitchen is flanked by beautiful granite counters, the hammered copper apron sink, ample cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances including Viking gas range, a 2nd wall-mounted oven and a separate beverage refrigerator. You’ll find most every small appliance or kitchen tool you desire including espresso maker, ninja food processor, and sharp knives. Choose between vintage and contemporary glassware. A round table seats 4 for casual meals. Completing this space is a countertop filtered water dispenser.

The living room has ample comfortable seating where you will enjoy the 80” Theater Smart TV and the provided board games. This grand open space is anchored by the stone fireplace and surrounded by views of the beautifully landscaped backyard and spectacular Santa Rosa Mountains in the distance.

4 EN SUITE LUXURY KING BEDROOMS + BONUS DEN/BEDROOM

Four bespoke bedrooms, each room featuring 10 foot ceilings, luxury king mattresses/linens, blackout window coverings for a good rest, and a ceiling fan for added comfort. All bedrooms are separated by generous sized closets and/or baths for good sound insulation between sleeping areas.

The spacious Primary Suite is distinguished by a panoramic desert and mountain view that spans the full length of the room. Custom floor to ceiling drapes also span this length to ensure that late risers get all their desired sleep-time. Cuddle up on the sofa in front of the romantic fireplace, and stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV. You might want to read a book in the corner chair while keeping an eye on the action in the pool just outside. The large primary bath has two generous vanity areas, a large walk-in shower and an elevated soaking tub with a view window and zen hearth with LED candles. A large walk-in closet with wall safe completes this sumptuous suite.

The King Guest Bedroom #1 bath features hand-painted yellow Spanish tile, copper sink and fixtures, and a cute display area. There’s a walk-in closet, a small desk area, and wall-mounted TV.

King Guest Bedroom #2 features a unique diagonal wall behind the bed and hand-painted burnt orange Spanish tile in the shower-over-tub bath.

King Guest Bedroom #3 is on the far side of the living room. This spacious room sports a poster bed, plush chair, desk area, and large Smart TV. A door leads to the adjacent full bath with beautiful green Spanish tile and Villa Mariposa’s signature copper sink. This bath also has a jack and jill style second door off the hall, so it serves as the powder bath for guests and the shared bath for anyone staying in the den/5th sleeping area.

The den/5th sleeping area is architecturally unique, with grand decorative double door entry, exposed brick wall panel, raised center beam ceiling with wrought iron chandelier, and a small decorative closet/shelving area. Two additional guests can be accommodated on the comfortable queen sofa sleeper. This bedroom has access to the bath off the hallway that's shared with King Guest Bedroom #3.

    A couple of things. Our dog found the mouse, but couldn't catch him, but the mouse did get some food on the counter. The primary bathroom had an odor, then I put water in the tub to seal the trap and odor stopped. Lastly, the camera that eh pool/spa, not a good idea, with a 7 year old changing outside, hope you don't have video of the child removing his bathing suit. Now you know why we left a day early.

    There was an odor in the primary bathroom, finally figured out the tub drain had evaporated, so once I put water in the tub drain, the odor went away. There is a mouse in the kitchen, our dog heard it first, then the food was touched at night. Also did not appreciate the camera pointed at the pool/spa. Our 7 yr. old grandson took off his bathing suit outside so I hope there isn't any saved video. We left a day early.

    Softly, quietly, I honor the vibe of this home; where peace dwell in each step I take.As Palm trees sway with western winds. My eyes close feeling warm air caressing my face.Sitting in a hot salt water spa. I gently fold my hands in gratitude for the warmth; peace of this place.Thoughts; Now, bowing in respect and silently thanking you for sharing with us your profoundly inspiring home.With heartfelt thankfulness we shall leave this place.Flying home on those Santa Ana Winds. Blessings from the Forsberg Fsmily of the Mitten State.

    I have stayed at many properties through VRBO and I have to say this was the best place ever. It met and exceeded our expectations! A beautiful house with multiple private suites. The beds and bedding are super comfortable and ample towels for the bath and the pool. It’s especially nice that the back yard has open space right beyond the fence. A great neighborhood for walking and bike riding. Short distance from the main part of Palm Springs. The kitchen is. Try well equipped with high quality pots and pans and dishes. The property management company was really great to work with and were very responsive to any questions I had. I highly recommend!!!

    We had an amazing getaway weekend with 9 women. This spot was a 10/10. We loved the style of the home, there was plenty of space for us all. We were impressed with the quality of the cookware and dishes, the pantry had great staples and overall the home was extremely well cared for. What sets this rental apart though is the view - to not feel fenced in was amazing.
