Photos and Description of the Palm Springs vacation house rental

This is a three bedroom two bath home. Alexander mid century retro-ed delight has very private pool and deck. This is a modern home that you will love. Vacation Rental House, Mid-Century Modern, Alexander, Racquet Club Estates, modern ranch, Palm Springs, North Palm Springs, Retro, Updated, Vintage, Hot Property!

This Mid-Century Gem is 'JUST RIGHT' in every way.

The look, the feel, the privacy, the design, the service!

You can find more expensive homes that are comparable, but why? At these rates, we're confident the Butterfly-Alexander represents the overall BEST VAUE and OVERALL VACATION EXPERIENCE from booking to saying goodbye.

Happy Chic living all to your own! Ultra clean and private, getting away at this Mid-Century Classic is like checking into a mini-Parker Hotel, but even better!

The artist/owner has put her special touch on every room of this house, designed by William Krisel, AIA and Dan Palmer for the Alexander Development in 1960 in the Racquet Club Estates neighborhood. There's the classic post and beam construction, updated with polished concrete floors. Metal sculpture, original artwork, and vintage and contemporary furnishings blend together in a blissful way.

Your private paradise continues outside where the large backyard features big, comfy chaises, and a wall of ficus shut out the noise and neighbors. The saline pool is smooth on your skin, no harsh chlorine odor. And there's nothing more relaxing, especially at night, than sitting in the hot tub and soaking in the spectacular mountain views. Plasma TV’s in living and each bedroom, and WiFi are among the modern amenities. Spoil yourself.

About JetSetter Vacation Homes

We welcome you into our sun-filled paradise, The Butterfly-Alexander.

We are Dave and Sharon Agnor, homeowners, and we spend most of our time in Portland, Oregon. If you know anything about Portland, it's a great city but it's true what they say about the rain. And what's actually harder to handle is how it can stay gray and overcast for weeks on end. Don't get us wrong, we love Portland. But we have the best of both worlds by having this great place to escape to for sunshine and style! As Dave, a psychologist, likes to say: 'It's cheaper than therapy!'

JetSetter Vacation Homes purchased this house in 2002
Why JetSetter Vacation Homes chose Palm Springs

The butterfly roof reminds us of the 50's, rocket-ships and the Jetson's of our childhood. Today, it's where we go to have complete privacy, pool or hot tub depending on the season, and what better place than Palm Springs? Our initial attraction to the area is the desert city itself, with the sunny weather, and uniquely dense mid-century architecture all over downtown; dozens of fabulous restaurants and one of a kind shops are 4 minutes away.

What makes this house unique

Our home is private mid-century cool. Each room is modern, carefully designed with color and art, but a museum it's not; it's feels like you just want to stay in and go nowhere else. The pool is saline waters and heated. We don't feel or sniff chlorine on our skin. From your chaise lounge or bedrooms you will view the great San Jacinto mountain rise straight up. At night, you can watch the gondola traverse to the top. No street lights mean the stars are clear and bright. Wonderment and a clear head.

The house was great. Up to date but tolerant of 3 grand kids. We all had a blast. My daughter said this was one of the most relaxing vacations she has had. We would do this again. Very convenient. Very good support while we were out there. The only thing was not knowing the pass code was time sensitive. Tonya was great. Thanks

I went with friends/family and had a great time. Rooms were nice, clean fully stocked with everything and anything you needed. Was the perfect for the option for my price range. Close to morongo/outlets and right off the freeway near everything to eat. In a great quiet neighborhood as well. Beautiful pool had a nice jacuzzi, master room has a nice seperate bathroom that is connected to the outside with a door. Has a big backyard to do bbqs, as well as a grill. Seating areas are abudant. Last but not least very artistic!

Perfect Getaway

We were traveling to Palm Springs for the first time with another family (total of 4 adults and 3 kids) and loved the house based on the pictures on the website. When we arrived it was exactly as we had imagined. The artistic touches and decorations definitely made the house hip and stylish. The kids had a great time with the swimming pool and nearby parks. We lounged around the pool, barbecued and hung out in the Jacuzzi. Indian Wells tennis center was a quick 25 min drive and we had a great time watching the matches there. The owner was great - responsive and flexible in allowing us to stay a few extra hours. The whole process of booking / staying etc. was simple and straightforward. We'll definitely recommend this house to our friends and hope we get a chance to stay here again.

There was a slight problem at check in that the owner took care of immediately. We had the impression that it was not the norm and were pleased with the quick remedy. The house was beautiful and met all our expectations. We were 3 couples vacationing and the house was roomy. Loved the hot tub! We stayed for a week and hated to leave! We would highly recommend this house and are talking about a possible return trip next year!

Great weekend with all the right amenities

Stayed at the Butterfly Alexander with a total of 6 people. The house was spacious enough for everyone and had all the amenities for a great Thanksgiving weekend. The pool and hottub were excellent and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed. Everything had been taken care of when we arrived and the entire experience was completely stress free. The location is perfect and we found that we rarely left the property, but when we did, it was very convenient for shopping and nightlife.

Management and owners were extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with, answering all our questions and addressing calls immediately. I cannot commend them highly enough for the friendliness of my interactions with them. We would all definitely return to this property as it provided the perfect relaxing weekend that we were all hoping for!
Owner's Response: So glad you had a good experience at our "Butterfly". Your thoughtful review is much appreciated, we have the same thoughts when we stay here too!
