Important Information to note:
Heating the pool is available for an additional fee: $100 per day (recommended October through April). These charges reflect the actual costs of heating the pool due to the increasing expenses of natural gas; there is no markup included. Spa heating is complementary with your rental. We kindly ask that you inform us at least 48 hours before your arrival if you would like the pool heated, ensuring it is warmed up and ready for you.

Please be aware that this is not a party venue. The local community is vigilant, and any indication of a gathering/party could result in police involvement and the immediate removal of guests from the premises. Please also note that outdoor music is prohibited in short-term rentals in the Palm Springs area.

Smoking is prohibited inside the home. However, you are welcome to smoke in the backyard, embracing the laid-back Palm Springs lifestyle.

While we adore pets, we kindly request that you leave them at home, as this property enforces a strict no-pet policy. Thank you for your understanding.

Neighborhood Attractions
Historically, the highlight of Palm Springs was The Racquet Club, established in 1934 by actors Charlie Farrell and Ralph Bellamy. This exclusive resort attracted A-list Hollywood stars such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Marilyn Monroe, who enjoyed tennis and poolside socializing in a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere. Although The Racquet Club no longer exists, you can still experience a similar ambiance in the neighboring Racquet Club Estates. This area showcases homes designed by renowned Mid-Century architects William Krisel and Dan Palmer, in partnership with The Alexander Construction Company. The Palm Springs Modern Villa is conveniently located just minutes from The Uptown Design District, featuring a variety of upscale and vintage boutiques, as well as innovative dining options housed in stunning mid-century architecture. A short drive further will take you directly to the bustling heart of Downtown Palm Springs.

For your safety and the security of the home when it is unoccupied, there are security cameras which monitor the driveway and backyard pool areas. Rest assured, these cameras are not monitored while guests are present. Please note that there are no cameras or recording devices inside of the home.

Shelby West Vancouver, Canada Oct 2025

Rachael’s home was great. Spotless and clean and a great outdoor space for both kids and adults to play and lounge. Nice play area also in the garage. Perfect spot for outdoor dinner. And despite noise restrictions in Palm Springs Rachael’s home has speakers for some outdoor music which is always great. Don’t spoil it! Keep it down! All in all a great stay. Thanks for your hospitality and responsive communication!

Corey Los Angeles, California Oct 2025

Beautiful home with a truly private backyard. The word villa describes it perfectly. Unlike most Airbnb’s, this one is furnished and kept as clean as a five star hotel. Location is perfect. Master bedroom is spectacular. All bathrooms are extremely clean and modern, kitchen is also amazing. The Mountain View from the backyard is on a different level. Truly cannot wait to stay here again and can’t say enough about how great the host is.

Mary Portland, Oregon Jun 2025

The Palm Springs Modern Villa is absolutely stunning. After staying at numerous Airbnb properties throughout the years, this one stands out as the finest. The saltwater pool and hot tub are incredible. The backyard is surrounded by numerous mature palm trees, and is very private. We loved the two outdoor showers! The beds are super comfortable, and the decor is modern with a Palm Springs vibe. Our host, Rachael, was fantastic and accommodating, offering excellent recommendations for local dining options. If you’re seeking a luxurious Airbnb that genuinely feels like your own exclusive retreat, look no further. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Suzanne Portland, Oregon May 2025

Wow! Soon as I opened the entrance of this amazing house it was officially vacation time! (The photos are amazing though really doesn’t do this place justice). The layout of the house, the ease of controlling the functions of the house on a pad, perfect location to Palm Springs activities and equipped with all the needs/wants for the ideal home away from home adventure! I seriously didn’t want to leave and I actually extended my stay cause it was hard to break away from all these comforts. There is nothing better than being in this setting with some friends or family creating some life long memories! All I can say if you want to really feel you had a vacation? Then I recommend staying at this Mid-Century Modern House where the host thought of everything and made sure my stay was memorable. Can’t wait to rent again soon!

Dawn 10 years on Airbnb Dec 2024

Beautiful home love the backyard. Had everything you could ever need. We had a few small hiccups which were taken care of immediately. Communication was excellent. They gave us some great recommendations and we would definitely stay here again. Definitely book here!
