Palm Springs Vacation HomeHow would you like rent a luxury Palm Springs vacation home? Live like a celebrity, even if it is only for a week or two.
In Palm Springs, the
provocative present is looking an awful lot like the past. A new
generation of Hollywood swingers returning to the Ratpack playground of Frank,
Dean, Sammy, and even Shirley. Only this time around it's a little less
hedonism, a little more hideaway. Is it time for a Palm Springs vacation home? Just a two-hour drive from Los Angeles, and anchored by the stunning San Jacinto mountains, Palm Springs has always had geography on its side. And a few years ago, a new appreciation for the Jetson-meets-Neutra style of its midcentury architectural gems – flying saucer roofs and heat-repellent steel and glass - accelerated the comeback of the Palm Springs vacation rental.
Rent a Palm Springs Vacation HomeVacation homes in
Palm Springs have almost all been renovated, and many of the iconic homes are
available for short term rental from
Time and Place Homes,
a company offering three-day minimum stays along with concierge service.
Two of the most hotly requested are Twin Palms, the Frank Sinatra estate with a piano-shaped pool, and the Elrod/Lautner House (right), made famous in "Diamonds Are Forever," according to Stephen Zapantis, Time & Place Homes' director of concierge services for Palm Springs. Prices for the “iconic experience” don’t come cheaply; the Elrod/Lautner House is $3,600 per night but as the house sleeps a minimum of ten, group getaways can make the purchase worthwhile.
More moderately-priced estates can be rented for a third of the cost of the icon variety, including the Andreas Hills Golf Home, a remarkable three-bedroom, four-bath mid-century estate situated at the new Indian Canyon Golf Club & Course.
For the budget-conscious traveler, the perfect Palm Springs Vacation Home might be The Palms The Palms, located in the desirable area Vistas Las Palmas. Recently featured in The New York Times, the four-bedroom, three-bath “Swiss Model” Alexander home is decorated in vintage yellow and white, and sports a sparkling pool and spa, and spectacular mountain views. Rates start at $525 during season and $425 in the summer months.  Regardless of what home you choose to rent in Palm Springs, be sure to do your
research on the location and the property’s condition.
Many of the “cheap rentals” are listed at those rates for reason, and reside in less than desirable areas. Reputable properties and the websites that promote (them) should provide numerous pictures of the home, as well as references and/or testimonials from guests. So pack that mini dress and be sure to bring the sun block – a poolside getaway in Palm Springs awaits.
