Wonderful Home and Great Location
We stayed for a month in this lovely home in the Movie Colony and right across the street from an enormous park. We took full advantage of the gorgeous front and back yards, pool, and especially loved the outdoor shower (heaven!). The house was immaculate and well stocked. Our intermittently visiting friends enjoyed their own wing with its access to the pool and large shower. While one could niggle over a few things outside the control of the owner, such as occasional loud traffic noise and construction at an adjacent home, and a water main issue, the features of the home easily outweighed them. The owner, without being intrusive, was remarkably responsive and helpful with every issue, responding to every text within a couple of minutes. We really enjoyed our time here and look forward to a repeat visit in the future.

Perfectly Located
This is a great house, perfectly situated next to Ruth Hardy Park and walkable to downtown restaurants and shopping. We used the bikes, which were fun and so perfect for getting us downtown for morning coffee! The park has morning aerobics Monday-Friday taught by a true blue fitness icon, Ted Guice, who leads you through 45 minutes of low-impact 80's style cardio. So fun, and so many people there that become your instant PS friend group! About the house, it's very clean, has everything you would need and more for a comfortable stay, was ideal for our dog, the pool and grounds were lovely. One of the best features was the outdoor shower.

Perfect holiday home in Palm Springs
Michael’s place certainly has the “wow” factor even before you get inside. The grounds are maintained to a very high standard and the wonderful pool is perfectly set just a few steps from the rear of the house in a green oasis with wonderful views of the mountains beyond. There is an immediate impression of luxury when entering the open plan living / dining room kitchen. The feature wall in the living room end houses a huge flat screen tv and beautiful real flame gas fire which we enjoyed during some of the cooler January evenings. During the day it was great being able to open up the room to the garden and pool using the multiple sliding glass doors. We also appreciated the fully equipped kitchen and the separate laundry room. All three bedrooms had comfortable beds and it was great that each one had its own luxurious wc / shower room. Personally, though, I took Michael’s tip and used the wonderfully heated and invigorating outside shower after my daily early morning swim! To top it all off - Michael’s villa is perfectly placed - with its close proximity to Ruth Hardy Park and all the life of Down Town Palm Springs an easy 25 minute stroll or 5 minutes drive away.

Perfect Palm Springs Hide Away
Stunning property in Palm Springs that totally met all of our needs and expectations. Perfect location across from large park that is an easy and short walk to everything downtown. A combination of a modern home with beautiful views from the front and back. The backyard and pool area feels like your own private resort with a combination of lush gardens, shade, and full sun. A perfect place to either hide away and disconnect from the world in total privacy or to get out and be active with everything Palm Springs has to offer. In over 25 years of vacationing in Palm Springs this is among the best places I've ever stayed!

Why they chose this property

Full modern renovations inside and out while maintaining mid century charm and history. The backyard and landscaping make this a very private, relaxing environment that does not disappoint. The park accross the street is great and you can walk to the uptown design district in town for food, drinks, shopping in 10 mins.

What makes this property unique

Some of the unique benefits of this home include: the location; the open great room that showcases indoor outdoor living in a classic mid century way; the backyard pool area and landscaping are gorgeous; the lighting indoors and outside are perfect for all occasions; the mountain views from the front and backyard are unobstructed and wonderful; my favorite spot inside is the leather chaise for 2 in the center of the great room or in the pool; speakers in all rooms to enjoy music and entertainment; fruit trees in front yard include lemon, lime and orange.
