Why the gushing reviews?

Peace, tranquility & privacy are all wrapped up in this walled & gated estate in the sought after Tahquitz River Estates neighborhood tucked between the Deepwell and Warm Sands neighborhoods.

This home is described as an idyllic home away from home. As the winner of a Certificate of Excellence, it's one of the top vacation rentals in Palm Springs. And, nearly 100% of its 140+ reviews are five-star.

This is a Paul Truesdale designed home. The décor, both inside and out, pays homage to the quintessential mid-century esthetic which is such a trademark of Palm Springs in a thriving garden setting.

For starters, there’s the dreamy pool (heated during cool weather months), hot-tub & fire pit front yard area with amazing close-up mountain views. Then, there’s that incredible decor both inside & out highlighting only the best of mid-century furniture & stunning art collection. Surely, the ideal location in highly sought-after South Palm Springs has something to do with it too! This home is tucked between Deepwell and Warm Sands, which is just a short walk or drive to the downtown galleries, shops & Palm Springs restaurants. Finally, there are the 3 sumptuous en-suite bedrooms, private & serene garden patio areas (8 in total!) guaranteeing that however you spend your Palm Springs days, your nights will be spent in pure star-gazing luxury. Your time spent in this home will truly be a tranquil escape from the outside world.

The neighborhood is perfect for taking an early morning or late afternoon stroll. Hiking trails are nearby (both Indian Canyon and Tahquitz Canyon are favorites). The Tahquitz Creek is a block away offering peaceful views and wildlife. Two bikes come with the home. There is a “Things to Do” binder at the house.

This home is a perfect vacation resort for any Palm Springs vacation activity. Guests have wistfully recalled afternoons cruising on the two complimentary bikes, lounging afternoons away at the pool or admiring the lovely polished gardens with 8 private patios. Guests immerse in these surroundings from the comfort of their accommodation. If you want to step into the spotlight, of course, you’re moments from downtown. (But leaving might be hard, when the lovely accommodations make living so easy!)

It’s the perfect place to de-compress from the everyday world. You’ll wonder whether this home grew out of the same seeds that sprouted the surrounding tranquil & impressive gardens. Here the boundaries separating you from nature are dissolved, whilst being in one of the most famous places in the world.

You'd be forgiven for spending your whole time here in a lazy haze. Start your day with coffee out by the pool before a stroll through the gardens to find a secluded spot. If that sounds a bit too chilled out, head downtown to eat, shop, gamble or explore. There are plenty of ways to while away the sun-soaked hours at this heavenly hideaway. Or embarking on one of many recreational past times, from riding horseback or hot-air balooning through the early morning desert sunrise or discovering ancient Indian oasis's, this is the desert all others try to become.

The experience begins with the walled, hedged and gated entrance. Enter through the Breeze Block entrance into a garden oasis of mature trees, twin palms and desert planting.

The garden is surrounding the pool, hot-tub and fire-pit located in the “front” of the home as you enter. Feel the Ahhhh.

Newly remodeled (in 2015) 7-foot-deep pool/ HOT TUB and FIRE-PIT add to the already amazing house. All outdoor areas, including the gardens and patios, offer magnificent views of the surrounding mountains. NO ELECTRICAL WIRES. NO AIRPORT NOISE.
This completely private pool area will take your breath away. A thick private hedge along with “layers” of plants will all take you by surprise.

Inside, this home is peppered with artwork throughout, including desert scapes as well as contemporary pieces.

The master bedroom wing was recently remodeled in 2019. The bedroom is furnished with a Cal-King bed. The vaulted ceiling, along with the disappearing corner sliding door that looks out to the gardens and pool, makes this a stunning room. The master bedroom includes many luxuries…
• An outdoor atrium where you can drink your morning coffee in while enjoying the desert specimen planter box.
• A Kohler heated soaking tub to decompress.
• A shower with double rain-head shower heads complete with body sprays to luxuriate.
• A private fully equipped master bathroom with a second outdoor shower that looks out to the Plumeria Garden.

Closet space is not a worry as there is plenty of space in the provided renter’s closet with closet organizers to make your unpacking easy.

The guest wing has two additional bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms to accommodate family and friends.
• Bedroom #2 has two sliding doors allowing access to the pool, hot-tub, gas fireplace and second private outdoor shower and outdoor living room with panoramic desert views.
• Bedroom #3 has two twin beds and a private patio overlooking the Agave garden. This ensuite bathroom also has a walk-in shower with body sprays and an operable window.

All bedrooms have ceiling fans.

The new laundry room has a maximum capacity washer/dryer and a laundry sink.

Two instant water heaters take care of all your hot water needs from the kitchen sink to all bathrooms.

WIFI extenders ensure that the Spectrum internet connection is strong both indoors and out.

This home has two new heat and air-conditioning units (one for each side of the home) along with two swamp coolers (evaporative coolers) to keep you cool on warm days.

Cooking will be enjoyable in the fully stocked kitchen. All appliances are new and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to prepare meals.
A Keurig coffee maker, a French Press and a Mr. Coffee are all available for your cup-of-Joe.
A gas BBQ is waiting for your grilling pleasure.
Dining locations, each with seating for 6, can be either poolside, in the back garden or indoors in the dining room.

This home has 4 Smart TV’s. The Media Room has a 65-inch Smart TV. Complimentary Netflix is provided as well as HBO and Showtime. Other TV apps are available. The Sonos music bar allows you to listen to music throughout the house. Board games are also available for your enjoyment.

There is a rolling gate installed from the street into the auto court & covered and lighted driveway area. Plus, there is a call box that rings into the home and a pedestrian gate into pool area from auto court. All provide greater security & increased privacy.

There is secured & lighted parking for 3 cars all of which are covered spots.

I strive to offer a respite to decompress from everyday life. Pick from one of many private patios and delight in private spaces to read, nap or catch-up.

Secluded Getaway
Our stay was amazing from beginning to end. Before we arrived Tom answered any of our questions and even had recommendations. We were greeted at arrival and shown around this beautiful property. During our stay, we enjoyed coffee in the morning on different patios and floating in the pool with tranquil landscaping all around us that make our stay very private. We used Uber to get in and out of town, very convenient to do fro the house location. Highly recommend this place if you want a relaxing, private, and enjoyable stay in Palm Springs. It did not disappoint!

Heaven in Palm Springs
This home is truly beautiful. The photos don’t do it justice! It’s private, impeccably appointed, and comfortable. We are so lucky to have stayed in this treasure. Plenty of private space if you are several couples. Clean, clean, clean! It is our go-to spot now for sure. Thank you for a wonderful stay. 💚

Wonderful stay!
We were a multi-generational group and the house was perfect for all of us. Everyone was comfortable. Beds and sitting areas were very cozy. The house itself was super clean and very well-equipped. It was great to be able to cook for everyone during a week when Palm Springs itself was very busy. The owner and the property manager were both extra responsive and helpful. We loved our stay!

Beautiful grounds and fabulous pool!
This property is great. Pride of place is obvious - this is the most well kept rental we've been to, and we've visited Palm Springs 5 times this year. The grounds are gorgeous and the pool is fabulous. Tom was great to work with and super accommodating. Two things to know: The bathroom for the master bedroom is across the hallway, and this hallway runs the length of the house. It's not as private as a bathroom within the bedroom. The parking space is a bit tight. If you have 2 smaller cars, you'll be fine. We had 2 small/mid-size SUVs and it was a challenge to get both cars in and out. Thanks for a fabulous vacation!
