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

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.

We enjoyed a wonderful, sunny four days in this fantastic home. There was ample room for our four children to spread out and play as well as a great outdoor area for swimming, sitting in the sun, and just “hanging out.”
The property was just as it is depicted in the pictures and description. We had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Both the house manager and the owner were incredibly thoughtful and easy to work with. They were very accommodating and flexible. I would highly recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a warm-weather vacation spot!

We only wish we could have stayed longer. This is a great house in a quiet neighborhood. We absolutely loved the way it was decorated with mid-century modern furniture and found out the owner wrote a few books on this style! The house is clean, with everything you need. Fits the description, I would say the house is even better than on the pictures! Ric was there when we arrived and everything went smoothly.
If anyone wants to go somewhere to forget about work and worries and do absolutely nothing all day, that's the place to go. However, downtown Palm Springs is minutes away by car with plenty of restaurants, night life or just walking around and window shopping.

What an unbelievable place to stay in Palm Springs! We spent a month in this home and didn't want to leave. It is located perfectly (away from the hustle of downtown, yet only a 3 or 4 minute drive), plus only a short walk to a great grocery store and fantastic gym! The yard is totally private, and the neighborhood is great! The neighbors are friendly, but aren't nosey. It's very quiet and safe. We cannot wait to return! We couldn't have had it any better! Thank You again, Andrew & Ian!!

Spacious Retro Hideaway with Fantastic Design

There is a reason this place is often booked and relatively hard to get. It is a great value, the outdoor amenities are terrific, everything works, it is kept spotless, the owner and manager are easy to reach and very responsive. Even if you have no interest in a light and airy home filled with genuine Mid-Century Modern furniture and artifacts, this place is great. Huge heated pool has a seating bench that runs the distance of the pool in case you want to invite those 20 starlets over for a daquiri. Or you can fit about six hunky BFs in the spa. (We paid extra to heat the pool; others may want to be more refreshed than suits us.)Wireless internet (I never did find the hidden modem!) works perfectly throughout the property, provided free with the rental. Flat panel TV screen with integrated DVD player and several good and recent DVDs in the cabinet (fab 60's era maple sideboard looking very Scandinavian). Basic cable TV also provided. The street is very quiet and homes in the neighborhood well maintained. It is only a few blocks to shopping centers and major boulevards to get you quickly across town.
