Photos and Description of the Palm Springs vacation house rental
4 Bedroom, 3 Bathroom, sleeps 8

Knock down Mountain Views towering behind the house! Stretch out by the saltwater pool and grab a drink- and get ready for serious rest, relaxation and fun! This Palm Springs Alexander was taken down to the studs and restored to its original splendor... Super nice and cool- home was once owned by Oscar nominee Jackie Cooper. Walls of glass and the dead-on mountain views- the ultimate in California indoor/outdoor living. The house offers everything imaginable outside- supercool firepit lounge for you to relax and enjoy the beautiful views at night, an outdoor BBQ island right off the kitchen. The kitchen window opens up all the way so you can connect the outdoor BBQ area to the indoors kitchen- making it one seamless indoor outdoor experience. This house truly offers the best in California outdoor living. Simple, Elegant, FUN!

The classic MidCentury open style of this Alexander makes it a perfect entertaining space. The kitchen and dining area connect to the great room with vaulted exposed beam ceilings, 56' wall-mounted TV, a huge circular couch, large windows with incredible Mountain Views and several sliding glass doors providing an abundance of light inside this hip desert retreat. Bring your Ipod and plug into the home sound system You’ll find the kitchen well stocked with anything you might need to enjoy and have a great time.

The 4 bedrooms comfortably furnished with Queen beds, fresh linens and alarm clocks with Ipod docks. All have their own TV. Two bedrooms have their own private patio space with chairs to relax among the fruit trees. Ensuite baths for the two master suites at opposite ends of the bedroom wing. The bathrooms are new and updated with Skylights and windows to keep things light and bright.

Every last detail of this house is brand new; new bathrooms, new kitchen with stainless appliances and ceaser stone counter tops, new salt water pool and spa.

The views, from inside and out, don't get any better than this.

The location is terrific, walking distance to downtown Palm Springs and the famous Palm Canyon Drive Strip. People are attracted to the neighborhood for the same attributes that made it popular originally. Vista Las Palmas is close to downtown -- 15 minutes by foot -- yet feels remote because it lacks streetlights and through traffic, has all utility lines buried, and is in the shadow of the San Jacinto Mountains.

Residents love gazing at the hills, which provide the neighborhood with an awesome backdrop. You wake up and see the mountains and your pool. Imagine back in the heyday when Jackie Cooper owned this house- Think that Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Frank Sinatra could have cavorted out by the pool... Peter Lawford's open-beamed home is in Vista Las Palmas- imagine Marilyn Monroe stopping by -- and so, people say, did Jack Kennedy.

About Margaret Healy

I grew up in and Eichler in Northern California and love Mid Century Modern Architecture. Palm Spring has always had a strong pull for me and I enjoy coming down as much as possible.

Margaret Healy purchased this house in 2006
Why Margaret Healy chose Palm Springs

Vista Las Palmas has a wonderful history and the best views in Palm Springs. When I found this house was in a sad state. It had been remodeled into a Spanish Style Adobe in the 80's and had sat partially demo'd for over a year before I bought it. It took the work of a talented architect to see the true Alexander bones underneath all the mess. I am proud to have brought her back to life- and still can't get over the Mountain Views.

What makes this house unique

This house isn't a rental- it's my dream home. I like to share it with others who will enjoy it as much as I do. The location is awesome too.

Beautiful home, amazing views

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 15, 2012

When I visit Palm Springs, my priorities are peace, quiet, views, and a decent pool / spa. Modern architecture and furnishings are also essential. This home and the Vista Las Palmas neighborhood were perfect: you're just one street away from the mountains, and the views in every direction are stunning, no matter what the time of day or night. The back yard is your own, private oasis. The logistics for arriving and departing were straightforward, and all the equipment inside was clearly explained. There's even a laptop and a printer that you can use to print your boarding pass (sad is it was to leave). Although I was there on my own, the house itself could comfortably accommodate up to four couples.

The view from the master bedroom is so amazing that you'll be tempted to never get out of bed. But force yourself, if only to spend more time in the yard by the pool. And although it will be a tough choice, leave the house from time to time to go hiking at Joshua Tree or to visit the Indian Canyons -- the spa and the pool will be waiting for you to relax in when you return.
Owner's Response: Thanks JTM! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and hope you come back!

Lovely house and pool area. Nice, well-stocked kitchen. Visitors should bring lounge chairs as only 3 were available. Also, don't plan on sleeping in as b/r's do not have window coverings. My girl friends and I had wonderful weather during our long weekend but wished the spa had been in working order for the evenings. Great fire pit area for enjoying a glass on wine when the sun sets. Nice, quiet neighborhood, close to downtown.

A great Christmas week vacation

We rented the house for a week around Christmas time and had a wonderful time there. The house is super clean and has a perfect layout. We made great use of the outdoor heated saltwater pool, spa, BBQ and fire pit. We were traveling with a toddler and it worked out great. The house is well-located and we walked into town a couple of the days and to the nearby spa at The Riviera. Highly recommend!

Excellent Property in Vista Las Palmas

Have just returned from a great 10 day stay at this property. The house was located in an excellent position in Las Palmas (not everything is created equal in the neighbourhood) and was equipped with all that we required. It made for a very comfortable holiday, with great views of the mountains. Waking up to the views from the master bedroom made for an exciting start to each day. The early morning light produces a glow which is beautiful. The heated pool and spa were delightful and meant that each day started with some much needed exercise but at least in some comfort. If anything we felt that the photos do not do justice to the outside area. I have rented several properties in Palm Springs but this is my favourite.

The house couldn't be more beautiful and comfortable to stay in. The views of the mountains were amazing. Have rented a house in PS for at about two to three times a year for the past few years. This was by far our favorite. The added bonus: The owners couldn't be more lovely to deal with. Made us feel very welcome.

The property owners made the process very easy. quick response and everything was exactly as they said it would be. our family had an incredible time and spent more time in the pool than anywhere else. there are lots of places and spaces in the house to catch a nap and a little peace of mind while still being close and within ear shot of the kids. we'll definitely be back!

Whether you're looking for a family getaway or a fun weekend with friends, look no further! This is *the* perfect Palm Springs rental. Modern decor/design, fun outdoor amenities and well-located (not far from airport or design district/downtown, etc.). We *can't* wait to go back again and again.

Hesistant to write such a glowing review, because I don't want to tip people off to how great this place is. We stayed here for NYE 2010 and had a great time.

Perfect layout for entertaining. Pool and spa are fantastic, as is the view.

We will definitely be returning in the near future.

The perfect holiday home

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Nov 10, 2010
  • Stayed: Oct 2010
What a wonderful holiday home - we had a fabulous week there at the end of October/beginning of November in ideal weather.
The house sits in an impressive neighbourhood (it must be good, I saw the 'star tours' bus a couple of streets away) and looks lovely from the outside - nicely kept, tidy and pretty.
Inside it's cool and modern, very clean with nice decor and comfortable furniture - all you need is provided, including big screen TVs in every room (the wide range of cable channels meant we even managed to tune in to the English Premier League to keep the kids happy!).
The pool is wonderful with a very hot hot tub. We'd never stayed anywhere with a salt water pool before, but it was perfect - better than chemicals. It's a great size, too - you can actually swim in it.
Then there's the view of the mountains - they're truly spectacular, changing from red to yellow to brown to green through the day. A wonderful backdrop.
Apart from the noise from the next door property being remodelled (at least it'll be finished if you rent the house!) it's quiet and close to the centre of Palm Springs - if you fancy a 15 minute walk, you can be on the main street. It's less than 2 hours to LA, too.
On top of all that, the owner is very accommodating and friendly.
Overall we would highly recommend this property. It was ideal for our party of seven (four adults and three children) and we won't bother looking anywhere else when we next go to Southern California.
