The Gorgeous Midcentury House:

This restored Midcentury Modern Krisel designed Palm Springs Vacation home was built by the celebrated Alexander Construction Co. in 1960. Located in famous Vista Las Palmas, it has spectacular mountain views, desert landscaping, a huge swimming pool and an in-ground spa. Inside you'll find the famous Palmer and Krisel open floor plan, perfect for entertaining with family and friends, vaulted tongue and groove ceilings, entire walls of glass doors opening onto the patio and pool area, and Mid-Century furnishings.

The Kitchen and the Living Area:

The spacious kitchen is fully equipped. Enjoy gorgeous mountain views out of the clerestory windows, which fill the room with light and showcase the mountain ridge-line. The kitchen and dining room are open to the expansive living room, with its walls of sliding glass doors that let the light pour in and reveal and lead to the private pool and beautiful outdoor living spaces.

Enjoy movies on the 65” Samsung QLED SMART flat screen TV with SONOS system and home theater surround sound. Free WiFi access is available from anywhere in the house and yard.

Picture yourself enjoying cocktails or sharing a bottle of wine or champagne and toasting the warm Palm Springs sun as it sets behind the mountains. A great escape for just the two of you, or perfect for entertaining your entire group!

The Amazing Neighborhood and Street:

The neighborhood is a classic Mid-Century Modern area with every house looking authentic and ready for a photo shoot. Vista Las Palmas is the only neighborhood in Palm Springs without power lines blocking the view of the beautiful mountains and palm trees. In addition, this street is so close to the mountains you could feel its presence, which is great for meditation and yoga - or a SELFIE. Its proximity to the base of the San Jacinto Mountains keeps it sheltered from much of the wind and means a quicker escape from the late afternoon sun. NO AIRPLANE NOISE

The location is close (1 mile or a 20 minute walk) to wonderful restaurants, the Uptown Design District and Downtown Palm Springs. It is also close to hiking, golf, tennis and a quick drive to Palm Desert. Whether your ideal Palm Springs vacation includes sports, shopping or relaxing, this home is convenient to all of it. The house is located within walking distance to the Elvis Honeymoon house and the Kaufman Desert house.

A perfect home in Vista Las Palmas

Our stay at Steve’s house was perfect. The house is tastefully decorated and absolutely immaculate. The kitchen was the most well-stocked kitchen of any rental I’ve ever stayed in. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time in the yard which offered multiple options for sun lovers and shade seekers. All the outdoor furniture was super comfortable, and the best part is, you can sit back and gaze upon the San Jacinto mountains as you enjoy the yard and pool! Overall, it is a wonderful place, and we hope to visit again soon!

Perfect in Every Way

Perfectly restored without losing key architectural elements like the natural wood ceilings, clerestory windows, carport, pool access from the master bath, etc. Perfect furnishings that enhance the design without drawing too much attention. Perfect pool location that allows use in the mountain’s afternoon shadow. Perfect neighborhood for walking and architecture viewing.

The perfect vacation house and setting

We were so pleased with this house and its surroundings. The house is immaculate, comfortable, and well-designed for a vacation rental. Bright, well-equipped kitchen; good layout for hosting friends; several indoor and outdoor choices for relaxing and dining. The pool and hot tub are perfect. We especially enjoyed morning and evening walks in the neighborhood, taking in the mountain views and enjoying the interesting houses and landscape design. Bob, the property manager, is attentive, responsive, and very pleasant. We definitely want to return soon.

Great retreat in Palm Springs

Had a great stay at this location! Very quiet, private, and relaxed neighborhood. And a beautiful view of the mountains. The house was beautiful, well laid out, and had everything we needed for a long weekend stay. The beds were comfortable, albeit a tad on the firm side. No problems with anything in the house... everything worked and well-appointed. The hot tub and pool were fantastic, though we wished we'd asked for the temp on the pool to be a few degrees warmer, as it was just a bit too cold for a dip in the evening (in fall weather). Our fault, not the owners. And the hot tub was a fantastic substitute, of course! Would definitely stay again!

We have stayed in Palm Springs for the past 8 years this neighborhood is exquisite, the views are incomparable and the silence and tranquility transport one directly to their inner peace.

Outstanding. Serene, Comfortable: Perfect.

Not enough stars. Stunning and gorgeous beautiful and all the synonyms - yes, all true. Russell’s place is outstanding in every category. There’s always that check-in dread on the first day of your stay. You never know, booking online, what you’re in for. On the day we checked in, Bob, the property manager - super helpful, prompt, responsive, cordial - greeted us with a phone call “it’s ready! I’ll meet you at the house!” Upon driving into the neighborhood, you notice something: quiet, no crowds, serene, palm trees swaying. And then when we entered the house, walking into the kitchen, my jaw dropped: The view of the mountain, the pool, the backyard (“huge” doesn’t even do it justice) - it’s everything you hope Palm Springs will be - come true. I’ve been coming to Palm Springs for 30 years, and have never stayed in a location so stunning - when the sun drops behind the mountain and the heat radiating off the rocks stirs up wind that draws attention to the palm trees swaying in a sky turning from deep blue to swirls of pink, and the pool is still, the air is quiet - you just want to capture the moment and save it forever. On a more practical note: The house is clean and stocked with all the appliances and amenities you need. The AC works flawlessly Pool temp is perfect (it better be for $49 a day) Great sound system Fantastic outdoor setting with chairs and chez lounges and fans and barbecues and pool floaties Both Russell and Bob were responsive and helpful - anything we needed is covered. I never write this much on a review, but then again, I’ve never had such a perfect experience, anyplace I’ve stayed in Palm Springs. It’s worth the price. Every detail - awesome 5/5 - in a word: perfect. We shall return

Be Careful What You Wish For

We were looking for a true Mid Century Modern experience and this house fit the bill beautifully. The furnishings were so hip, so cool, and so uncomfortable. Now I am not blaming the homeowners for misleading us - everything was exactly as pictured in the listing. We were caught up in how beautiful this house was, I guess that we didn't think it through. Sitting in the ultra hip orange and chrome chairs was like sitting in a waiting room. The low couch was hard. The orange arm chair in the corner was more comfortable, but who wants to sit in a corner. And forget about a movie night - there was no way that the 4 of us could relax in front of the TV after a long day of seeing the sights of the Palm Springs area. The outside seating area was more disappointing. The rattan furniture was heavily used with fraying edges and a big hole in the coffee table. The cushions were flat and hard. We were also disappointed that they only had a couple ratty swim noodles and a couple cracked and blistered foam pool floats for us to use. The concierge, Bob, said that they were left by past renters, so I guess you have to supply your own. On a positive note, Bob was fantastic. he met us at the house to show us around. He gave us great tips on restaurants and things to do, and he was quick to respond with an issue we had with a faulty ceiling fan. We had a few minor housekeeping issues - there were black hairs on the bedspreads, so not sure if they get laundered between visits, and an extremely dusty light fixture in the master bath. Other than that, the house seemed well maintained. We found it kind of ironic that Palm Springs has such a strict noise policy (no outside music at all, at any time of the day) yet there seemed to be constant noise from leaf blowers and hedge trimmers in the area almost every time we were outside. I guess that is the price to pay for staying in such a well manicured neighborhood. The mountain views were fantastic, and this house is truly beautiful, but we will choose someplace else with more comfort next time we visit Palm Springs.
