The Space:
THE SPACE
This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom villa is designed for groups and families who refuse to compromise. The heart of the property is the main house with its open-concept living and dining area. Oversized sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, letting you flow seamlessly between your air-conditioned comfort and the glorious desert landscape.
You're not just renting a house — you get a complete guest compound. The separate guest casita provides an independent retreat with its own living, dining, and sleeping areas, perfect for giving everyone space when they need it. This flexibility is why multigenerational families and groups of friends consistently give this property top marks.
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
Main House:
• Bedroom 1: King bed (perfect for the primary suite)
• Bedroom 2: Queen bed
• Bedroom 3: Queen bed
• Bedroom 4: King bed
• Private Casita: Separate guest retreat with independent sleeping space
The 3 full bathrooms mean no morning lineups — a genuine luxury for group stays.
KITCHEN & DINING
Two fully equipped kitchens means you're never fighting over counter space. Whether you're prepping an intimate dinner or feeding a crowd, you have the setup to make it happen. The kitchens include full-size refrigerators, ovens, stovetops, dishwashers, microwaves, freezers, and all the cooking basics to let you prepare restaurant-quality meals. Dining areas throughout give you flexibility — formal meals in the covered patio, casual breakfasts inside, or open-air entertaining with views.
The property includes dishes, silverware, wine glasses, coffee makers, and coffee, so you arrive ready to entertain or settle in quietly.
YOUR OUTDOOR OASIS
This is where this property truly stands out. The landscaped, fully enclosed backyard is thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertainment.
The centerpiece is the private swimming pool — crystal-clear and ready to become your daily gathering place. Pair it with the hot tub for evening soaks under the desert stars. The fire pit offers warmth and ambiance during cool desert evenings, creating those moments you actually remember from vacations.
Beyond these anchors, you'll find multiple lounge areas, extensive outdoor furniture, and a covered dining patio for protected al fresco meals. The property backs onto breathtaking views, creating that sense of escape that separates a good vacation from an unforgettable one.
GUEST ACCESS & CONVENIENCE
The entire property is gated for your privacy and security. You'll receive a unique personal access code for 24/7 keyless entry — no fumbling with keys in the dark when you return from exploring. On-site parking is provided (note: guest parking in the garage is not available, but plenty of on-property parking exists).
The property is professionally managed to ensure everything works flawlessly. Housekeeping professionals follow rigorous cleaning protocols, including EPA-registered disinfectants and sanitization of high-touch surfaces. All bedding, dinnerware, and linens are freshly cleaned between arrivals. Your safety and comfort are the foundation of every stay.
LOCATION & NEIGHBORHOOD
You're in the heart of Movie Colony, Palm Springs' most prestigious residential neighborhood. This location gives you the best of both worlds: secluded tranquility within easy reach of everything.
Walkable to downtown Palm Springs, you're minutes from world-class restaurants, galleries, shops, and the cultural attractions that make this desert destination so appealing. Whether you want vibrant nightlife, farm-to-table dining, architectural tours, or simply wandering tree-lined streets and browsing local boutiques, it's all nearby without the noise of staying in the downtown tourist core.
The neighborhood itself is known for its mid-century modern heritage, thoughtfully preserved estates, and the kind of quiet sophistication that attracts discerning travelers.

Palm Springs' famous attractions are within a short drive: Sunnylands Center & Gardens, the Desert Hot Springs Spa District, hiking trails in the San Jacinto Mountains, golf courses, and the legendary Coachella Music Festival venue (when season allows). The area offers year-round outdoor activities — pools, desert exploration, wellness retreats, and world-class dining.

The Neighborhood:
This private villa is part of the prestigious Movie Colony neighborhood where the glamorous Hollywood stars come to play. The property has a prime location two blocks from the Uptown Design District, and less than a 5-minute walk to Downtown's best retail shops, bars, and restaurants.
Even though Movie Colony is close to the downtown area, the property remains extremely private, shielded by the wall and landscaping in the backyard. One thing to be aware of is that, on occasion, you may be able to hear vehicles passing by on the street behind the house or a medical helicopter due to being close to the hospital.
The historic Movie Colony is named after the many famous movie stars who owned homes in the area from the 1930's to 1960's, including Marilyn Monroe, Cary Grant, Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra, and Al Jolson.
The estate is also only a 7-minute walk to the famous 22-acre Ruth Hardy Park, where you will find 8 tennis courts, 2 children's play areas, basketball court, 2 volleyball courts, numerous picnic tables with BBQs, and large open fields. The adjacent Wellness Park is a 5-acre wellness oasis that offers a quarter-mile walking/jogging loop, five outdoor fitness stations, and four gardens: meditation, healing, fragrance and a memorial garden. There are also popular public hiking trails just a short walk or bike ride away that offer spectacular views overlooking the city, the airport, and valley.
Getting Around:
You can walk from the house to most in-town restaurants and bars. Many of the best restaurants of Palm Springs are within ~5 minutes walk from the house: Copley's, Eight4Nine, Workshop Kitchen, El Mirasol, Trio, Jake's, Birba, Cheeky's, Blue Coyote, and Tac/Quila.
There is parking space inside the gated property for at least 4 cars.
The Palm Springs International Airport is approximately 3 miles away and Interstate 10 (that connects you to Joshua Tree National Park or all the way to Los Angeles and Las Vegas) is also only a few miles away. The Convention Center, and the casino are quite close as well.
