Photos and Description of the Palm Springs vacation house rental
3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Large Living room plus den room, sleeps 6

Great, spacious late mid century home.

Owned by the author of many books, including 'modern retro', 'living modern', living retro', 'sarasota modern' and 'highrise living'.

Built in 1979 it has the elements of the earlier homes yet, the modernity of a later one.

The landscape is mature, with large swimming and reflecting pools. There are over 20 tall rustling palms.

The interior is an eclectic mix of all mid century.

Found from various sources, auction, thrift stores, estate and garage sales, everything in the house is there because we love it!

We have a well stocked dvd library, outdoor speakers for the cd sound system.

The hottub is located just off the deck that leads from the master bedroom.

Besides the main swimming pool there is a small shallow pool with water features.

Wireless broadband services the entire house.

There is a large very clean 2 car garage for parking also available.

About Andrew Weaving

I am the author of many books on mid century design and architecture, titles including modern retro, Sarasota modern, living modern and living retro. I also own and run design store/gallery in London that specializes in Mid century Modern furniture and design. I own homes in Florida, Palm Springs , London and Essex

Andrew Weaving purchased this house in 2007
Why Andrew Weaving chose Palm Springs

While researching for my last book 'living retro' I spent a lot time in Palm Springs and really liked it. Son as soon as I could I tried to find a house to buy. Owning 1950s homes in Florida I didn't really want an Alexander, so was lucky to find this house built in the 70s, but still with great architectural features and bones.

Home is a gem

5 of 5
Submitted: January 8, 2013 Stayed: October 2012
Andrew's home is a gem. It is beautiful and functional, light and airy, modern and comfortable, well situated and appointed, really almost too good to be true. It is situated in a lovely part of Palm Springs near the tiny airport, an easy 10 minute drive to Downtown, and 15 to Trader Joe's. It is a place in which one is able to relax, gather inspiration and appreciate the beauty of the desert landscape. We barbecued almost every night and enjoyed many hours in the pool, floating on our backs under the swaying palm trees where we tried to spot the occasional airplane soaring right above our noses, a lovely experience in and of itself. Best of all is Andrew's fantastic collection of unique mid century pieces generously laid out throughout the home giving the home a true Palm Springs appeal. To boot, Andrew is a very attentive and gracious host. We have booked many apartment rentals all over the world and have yet to experience such professionalism. We will surely be back and highly recommend this lovely vacation home without reservations.

Submitted: April 26, 2011 Stayed: April 2011
Second year have been to the house, its just gets better! helped by the very warm weather in April, had great three days at the house after hectic week in New York. Great place to visit Josh Nat Park, Tramway, Indian Canyons and just sitting by the pool. The house is decoarated to a very high standard and the support re meeting and cleaning is brilliant, we will return. It feels like our little retreat that we do not want to share with anybody else!!! its a must

Palm Springs - Spring Break

5 of 5
Submitted: April 25, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
This house and yard was perfect for our family Spring Break getaway! Everything was great. We did have an issue with the refridgerator during our stay, but we notified the property manager and he was out to take care of it within hours.

We loved the back yard and spent most of our time enjoying the pool, hot tub and grill. I don't think that we ate any meals inside the house during our stay.

Andrew has provided a lot of information and brochures about things to do near by and provided detailed maps of Palm Springs itself. These came in very handy. Was also a nice touch that the house keys had a discount card for the local grocery store!

Definitely recommend this house to anyone planning a trip to Palm Springs!!

Great trip. Backyard is amazing with pool, pond and spa. Probably a dozen mature palm trees with citrus youngsters. Inside in keeping with architectural style, bright and open. Well equipped kitchen, 2 eating areas as well as outside. All was clean. Manager was easily reached by phone. Being able to use the garage was a bonus. Our pooch loved it. A solid "good deal".

Wonderful home in Palm Springs

5 of 5
Submitted: March 15, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We rented this home for nine nights in Feb. We are a family of four with 3.5 year old twin boys. I can't say enough great things about this home. I absolutely love that from all but one room you see the pool area and lovely grounds. The home is well maintained, light and bright. The vaulted ceiling and expansive windows make this home feel much larger than it really is. The furniture is comfortable and inviting. You can't beat the location of this home, it's in a very quiet neighborhood and a short walk or drive to everything you could ever need or want. The pictures on the site don't do the home justice so I invite you to explore it for yourself, it won't disappoint. We'll be back next year and plan to rent this home, again. Fabulous!
