Ceiling fans, night lights and phone chargers in every room. Smart TVs in every room so you can access your own streaming services in a flash. We have Disney Plus for you! A gourmet retro kitchen with everything you need to enjoy dining in or dining al fresco. There are five dining options around the house. Inside, enjoy a lovely meal around a round, marble-top table with authentic Charles and Ray Eames dining chairs by Henry Miller, or opt out for casual dining around the original kitchen island that was built in 1959. In the yard, enjoy a bistro-style meal under the covered awning or go all out for a big meal on our spacious concrete dining table that can seat 10 -12 guests. There is another bistro-style table in the front courtyard. A Roy Lichtenstein inspired wet bar with high-capacity ice maker, beverage/wine cooler and vintage 1960’s smoke grey glasses. We love good coffee and hope you do too. We are proud owners of a Jura automatic espresso/coffee maker that freshly grinds beans for every delicious cup. We also have various tea options and decaf coffee on hand. There is also an electric kettle and French press. There is a high-end turntable with external speakers to listen to a collection of our vinyls to add background music to your ambiance. Speakers are Bluetooth ready, so you can easily connect your own device. Because of the city’s strict rules on loud music played in vacation homes, we do not have built-in speakers outside in the yard. We have a credenza filled with games (poker, backgammon), activities and puzzles. The unique concrete table doubles as a ping-pong/outdoor dining table combo for those bbq dinners or sporting challenges. We also have a newly built Bocce ball court with scorekeeper. You can also play other lawn games such as Bottle Bash and Cornhole on the court as well. For BBQing, we offer a WEBER natural gas grill as well as a small charcoal grill that is primarily used for kebabs and other skewered bbq. Enjoy our fully-renovated 8' deep saltwater swimming pool complete with built-in jacuzzi spa, tanning ledge, and bubblers with LED light show. We have fun pool floats, noodles and an electric air pump. Pool heating is $75 a day (must heat every day of your stay and we need at least one days notice). We do not heat pool May-September. Spa heating and fire pit usage are included in the cost of the rental. We have a brand-new patio awning spanning the length of the house to provide shade and protection from the elements. We also have sun loungers and a daybed for soaking up the desert sun and a hot/cold outdoor shower to rinse off before and after pool time. We have a yoga/meditation exercise deck for those of you that need your sun salutations in the desert. Enjoy walking through the front breezeway of the house where you can admire various cacti and desert plants in our breezeway garden. Just don’t get too close…cacti have prickly personalities. There’s no reason to leave once you arrive. However, we have lots of suggestions for you in our house manual for dining out, going shopping and enjoying excursions throughout the Coachella valley. This is our home away from home. We are very selective with who we think will be a good fit for renting our property; this is why we don’t allow instant booking. For starters, the home is surrounded by full-time neighbors who love and care for our neighborhood. So this is not a party house. Our neighborhood is quiet and serene. We love guests who will care for our home and belongings the same way you care for your home. We have painstakingly poured our hearts and resources into every square inch of this house. We want you to unwind, let go and fully enjoy your vacation here. We just expect our guests to be thoughtful and mindful about caring for the space, whether you’re staying for a couple of nights or for several weeks. Please note that the City of Palm Springs has very strict vacation rental guidelines. These guidelines are set to help balance the needs of the local community as well as the needs of the vibrant tourist culture that our city thrives on. Some guidelines are no loud music that can be heard outside the property line; limited car parking on streets and cars limited to how many bedrooms a vacation home has; neighborhood quiet hours start at 10pm; only two persons per bedroom can stay overnight. Neighbors have a hotline they can call to report vacation rental disturbances to a city compliance officer. We want to avoid this so you don’t get cited with a hefty fine and we don’t get dinged as a problematic vacation rental. Palm Springs city tax of 12.5% is included in the rate sheet. The city also requires an additional written contract which will be sent to you before your arrival. It is a straightforward good-neighbor agreement. We look forward to hearing from you.
