About this property

Desert Starlight: Stunning Modern Pool Home

Welcome! Get Ready to Enjoy a 5 Star Experience at "Desert Starlight"...

Get ready for the Quintessential Palm Springs Vacation Experience. Desert Starlight offers a multitude of alfresco amenities, well-designed interiors, and five deluxe bedrooms comfortably accommodating ten guests. Well designed and well-distributed spaces throughout this oversized lot creates an enchanting environment for family reunions and groups of friends.

Surrounded by lush desert gardens and inviting outdoor patios. Enjoy mornings floating away in the swimming pool relaxing on semi-submerged loungers. Cook a BBQ lunch on the Weber and relish it alfresco at the poolside table. On cool desert nights, sip champagne in the Spa or cuddle up around one of two beautiful fire features. Lovely lighting casts a dreamy glow on nighttime gatherings after a wonderful evening on the town.

Front Mountain View Yard Area
Enter a private gate to find yourself in a whole new world. Surrounded by private, modern block wall, Desert Starlight first greets you with a large private Mountain View courtyard featuring seating around the front fire feature and a large hammock to relax in, all beautifully placed within the professionally landscaped garden. Enter the blue front door and be transported into a modern reincarnation of this Mid-Century Jewel that Krisel first envisioned when he designed the house in 1957. While 4 cars can park in the driveway, the garage accommodates one vehicle and a ping pong table for your enjoyment.

Pool/Spa/Yard
All newly re-built, beautifully landscaped and smartly furnished. The Bubbly Spa cascades into the new pool.  One of my favorite places is on the tanning shelf where two can take in the famous Mountain View. BBQ your meals on the in-line Natural Gas Weber and dine al fresco pool-side. Then recap your day around the fire feature. Large groups will enjoy that there are places where everyone can gather together, and yet this estate property is full of places where a few can hide away from it all. Of course, the pool and spa are salt water, so it's easy on your hair, skin and eyes.

Common Space
The Modern Living Room features comfortable seating, gas fireplace, modern art, fully equipped wet bar, large inside dining area, and a great pool view.

Kitchen
Just bring your food and beverages. Stainless steel appliances, Cesar stone counters, all the small appliances you would expect and then some, like the Nespresso machine. Thoughtfully labeled cabinets make it easy to prepare meals and entertain with style. The breakfast room seats 4 and has easy Pool access.

5 Star Bedrooms
There's good separation between the Three King Bedrooms, each with luxury bedding, modern decor, newly remodeled en suite bathrooms, indoor seating areas, and outdoor private patios. Two additional bedrooms (King and 2 Twins) share a bath off the hall.

5 Star Location
This South Palm Springs location ensures that the frequent Desert Wind won't spoil your outdoor fun. Start your morning with an Easy Stroll to Koffi South for a fresh, locally roasted Espresso beverage. Some evening, you'll want to saunter down to the hip Amigo Room at The Ace Hotel for a local beer or craft cocktail.

Authentic Mid-Century History
You'll get the true Palm Springs vibe at Desert Starlight.  Architected by William Krisel, this is one of the first 39 homes built in 1957 by the Alexander Co. Many of the original architectural elements were kept in this updated MCM home: tongue & groove high ceilings, rock fireplace, and clerestory windows making it bright and connecting you with a time shared by the Hollywood Rat Pack including Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe.

Sustainable/Green Home
Rest assured that your amazing Palm Springs vacation is nearly carbon neutral thanks to the Solar Panel covered roof and newly upgraded energy-efficient windows and sliding doors.

Optional Pool Heating Fee: $69/night. Pre-approved, Well-behaved Dogs are welcome with payment of $150 Dog Fee/each. Some breeds may be excluded.

Great house in great location
We had a really nice weekend at the house. It is well stocked and has a great pool. We did have some issues that were beyond the management company's control and they were great at addressing quickly and completely.

It Takes A Family
Our family enjoyed a marvelous reunion in Desert Starlight. It was the first time all 10 of us, across 3 generations, had all been together in almost two years due to Covid and distance.
