The Fruit Bowl

Holiday Rental Description

If you're looking for good old unadulterated fun, look no further. This playful spot in Palm Springs is full of cool, quirky touches inside and out. It's impossible to talk about this home without mentioning the garden's rainbow-bright treehouse that doubles as a unique poolside cocktail bar – it's the kind of bar you'd expect to find in a kooky beach resort. Staying out under the desert sun, there's an outdoor kitchen with loads of prep space, a swimming pool, a hot tub, a bocce ball court, and shaded comfy sofas round the firepit. Inside, this 70s style home stays true to it's mid-century roots, with exposed wooden ceilings and walls splashed with pop art. Cream sofas provide a comfy spot by the open fire, and you can choose to dine at the breakfast bar or large dining table in the retro kitchen area, both with colourful Eames-inspired seating. The bedrooms feel quintessentially Palm Springs too, with vintage photography referencing the film stars that flocked to the area in its glamorous heyday. And if you want to explore Palm Springs itself, you're a four-minute drive from the glitz and glam of Downtown – or a thirty-minute walk for those who fancy stretching their legs and topping up their tan.

Home truths:
*Though the pool and tiki-bar invite it, loud outdoor music is not permitted due to city-wide noise restrictions
*Some traffic noise may be heard from outside the home as it's just off a busy residential area
*The gas stove does not have a spark, so a grill lighter is necessary to light it
