Palm Springs Vacation
Rental Home

The Peter Allen tune "Everything Old Is New Again" must have been written about Palm Springs, CA.

This mid-century-Modern oasis has been rediscovered by design divas and Hollywood hellions alike.

But it’s the Palm Springs Vacation Rental Home that has transformed a disparate desert town back into a style-file favorite. The ability to swoop into town for a long weekend and live rat-pack style is a strong lure for many...

An "Out of this World" Experience

Only a two-hour drive from the hustle and flow of freeway-challenged Los Angeles, Palm Springs remains a refreshingly unpretentious mix of piano-bar pleasures for the AARP set, and new wonders for the urban weekender, complete with upscale stores like Trina Turk and celebrity escapes like The Viceroy and The Parker Palm Springs. Add 5-star restaurants like St. James and The Chop House you’ve got a vacation that’s racy, rapacious, and thoroughly Rat Pack-revisited.

Though Palm Springs hotels offer a world of luxury and convenience, so do the vast array of vacation rental homes. Entire Neutra-style homes are available via the deluxe design store Room Service (625 North Palm Canyon Drive, 760-318-9331, www.roomservice-la.com) who has been buying 1950's bungalows and turning them into fabulous vacation rentals.

For approximately $500 a night you and your friends can stay at The Palms, a three-bedroom house decked out like a movie set from "2001: A Space Odyssey."

Other geometric gems can be found at Time and Place Homes, known for their ultra-decadent properties like the famous 15th Century Villa Rosa in Tuscany and the Rue de Grenelle in Paris.

Recognized by such prominent publications as Instyle and Travel and Leisure magazines, Time and Place has brought heart to the homes of none other than Robert Redford, Greg Kinnear, Jessica Simpson, and Nick Lachley.

In Palm Springs, two of their most popular rentals are Twin Palms, the Frank Sinatra estate with a piano-shaped pool, and the Elrod/Lautner House (above), made famous in the James Bond flick Diamonds Are Forever.

Though the $3,600 per night price tag might even make James Bond wince, the house is a name-droppers dream, and will serve cocktail party conservation well for years to come.

At $930 per night, the Andreas Hills Golf Home is a more moderate way to experience iconic architecture of the Palm Springs Vacation Rental Home. A three-bedroom, four-bath mid-century estate situated at the new Indian Canyon Golf Club & Course, the home was featured as a “Dream Vacation Home” on NBC’s TV magazine show “Extra” and “Ultimate Destination on NBC’s “Mansions and Millionaires.”

For the more budget-conscious traveler, a 2-bedroom furnished condo can be found at Desert Vacation Villas on Vista Chino Road. For around $130 per night (and less in the summer months), you can enjoy their heated pool, spa, hiking trails, and spectacular views of the San Jacinto mountains. Only blocks from downtown Palm Springs, the Villas are the perfect way to save cash without sacrificing style.
