About this property

Desert Gem - Colorful and Classic Palm Springs!

CITY ID #:003616

Nestled into the end of a cul de sac - your paradise awaits. Desert Gem is a fully updated 2 bed/2 bath home with the iconic wall of glass out to the outdoor kitchen, pool and spa. This pied-à-terre packs an energetic punch and is sure to please even the most seasoned traveler.

The living room with glass ‘fire and ice’ fireplace, 55" smart tv with surround sound, and ample seating has full view and access to the pool yard as well as the covered outdoor kitchen, bar, and outdoor living room. The tasteful yet bold design choices with lively colors make this home stand out from the crowd and will surely make a beautiful background for your Palm Springs vacation photos.

The 14' wide x 22' long x 5' deep pool has a 6' x 6' spa with 4 jets that sits above and cascades into the pool.

The primary bedroom has a king bed, 40" smart TV and slider that leads to a private shaded patio with an outdoor living room overlooking the desert landscaping. The bright en-suite includes a large glass walk-in shower with clerestory windows above. The large closet has built-ins from end to end and floor to ceiling.

The guest bedroom has a king bed, 55" smart tv, a small desk with a desk chair for working, and a large closet. The hall guest bath also has a large glass-enclosed walk-in shower and is brightened by clerestory windows.

The open and updated kitchen is the perfect place to whip up your gourmet specialties. There's plenty of quartz countertop space and quality stainless steel appliances for the chef. Or simply shake up your favorite craft cocktails and serve them from the bar out to the dining room.

This Racquet Club home is perfect for a single traveler, two couples or a small group/family. Inside and out, Desert Gem lives large - inside and out!

Great Stay!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay in this unit. It comes well equipped and even included a significant amount of spices, oils etc which made cooking awesome as we only needed the actual food and not the little things that add up. The pool was great, the heater worked well and the staff was quick to response with the one question we had. Would definately stay again!
