Like a beam of sunshine through the clouds, this Palm Springs home stands out from the crowd. With rugged mountain views, the natural landscape isn't the only feast for the eyes. Lemon yellow accents appear throughout, including in deckchair-like stripes on the exterior walls, which we love. The backyard is our favourite spot – it’s like stepping into the 60s. Entirely private, the heated pool bordered by, you guessed it, yellow loungers and parasols, makes you want to crack open a few drinks and enjoy some fun in the sun. There's also a barbecue, seating galore, and even a mini putting green. If you venture further afield, you’ll be pleased to discover Ruth Hardy Park is only a few blocks away, and downtown Palm Springs, with its restaurants, shops and Walk of Stars is just a five-minute drive.
