When The Dust Settles

Holiday Rental Description

Beautifully appointed in the shades of the San Jacinto Mountains, this glamorous home captures the new-age modernist vibe of the LA desert. Stepping out to look around the garden, you'll notice tall swaying palms, vibrant red chairs and a sparking saline swimming pool with an integrated waterfall spa. Here, you'll also find a barbecue island bar with chic stools to perch on while sipping cocktails – we certainly know where we'd spend our time. Sliding glass doors welcome you into the living space, blurring the boundaries between outside and in, so you can gaze into the picturesque mountain silhouettes whether you are. Inside, there's a modern look with high vaulted ceilings, polished marble floors and a swanky chef's kitchen – enjoy a quick cup of coffee around the curved breakfast bar. Bright and roomy, all the bedrooms have their own personalities and open up to an outside area. They're also accompanied by some seriously stunning en-suite bathrooms – we could think of nothing better than taking a long soak in the freestanding bathtub to wash that chlorine off. In a historic tennis club neighbourhood, you're surrounded by great walking trails as well as the Palm Canyon Drive that will take just a six-minute car ride to reach. Flourishing with upscale shops, indie coffee houses and some excellent restaurants, there's plenty to explore. A sixteen-minute stroll north will find you in Downtown Palm Springs, boasting fancy boulevards and the glitz and glam of Hollywood. With so much around you, we think this mid-century pool pad is as convenient as it is stylish.
