760 201 1009Palm Springs is the one people picture: mid-century houses under the San Jacinto mountains, pools that catch the afternoon sun, and a downtown you can walk to. Which part of town you stay in shapes the trip more than anywhere else in the valley, so our 23 houses here are grouped by neighborhood.
Short on time? Start with our guide to six standout luxury vacation homes in Palm Springs, or see all our Palm Springs vacation rentals across the valley.
The blocks around downtown, from the walled estates of Old Las Palmas to the Movie Colony's 1930s hideaways. The closest homes to Palm Canyon Drive's restaurants, galleries and Thursday-night VillageFest: the nearest are a walk away, the rest a few minutes' drive.
North of downtown the city opens out: the Alexander-built mid-century tracts around Racquet Club Estates and Vista Las Palmas, the hillside streets of Little Tuscany and Tuscany Heights, and gated enclaves toward the north. Wider lots, mountains on three sides, and a short drive to Uptown's restaurants.
South of downtown the city runs up against the mountains: Deepwell and Twin Palms on the flat, The Mesa and the hillside streets toward the Indian Canyons above them. Quieter streets, the light going golden first in the afternoon, and from the hillside homes, the whole valley below.
The houses here are the reason the phrase "desert modernism" exists. Alexanders, Meiselmans, the occasional Hugh Kaptur — low rooflines, walls of glass, and yards built around the pool rather than the other way round. Several of ours have been on the Modernism Week architectural tour.
Geography matters more here than anywhere else in the valley. The Mesa and Little Tuscany climb the hillside and trade walkability for views over the whole basin. Central neighborhoods like Movie Colony and Vista Norte put you a few minutes from Palm Canyon Drive. South Palm Springs sits tight against the mountains, which is where the light goes golden first in the afternoon.
It is the busiest weekend market in the valley — Modernism Week in February, the film festival in January, Pride in November, and Coachella weekends spilling over from Indio in April. Those dates book a long way out and carry minimum stays.
Figures are counted live and change as homes join or leave the collection.
5 of our 23 Palm Springs homes rent by the month, with a minimum stay of 30 nights or more: a winter in the desert, a long work stay or time between homes, with a private pool and the house looked after for you. Monthly rates are lowest outside the January to April peak.
| Home | Bedrooms | Sleeps | Minimum | A month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tuscany Retreat | 4 | 8 | 28 nights | $7,000 to $11,400 |

Monthly rates run from the quietest season to the busiest. Each home's page has its calendar and a full quote for your dates. Staying longer, or open to another town? See every monthly and seasonal rental across the valley.
23 houses, ranging from 2 to 6 bedrooms and sleeping 4 to 14 guests. Every one is managed by us directly rather than listed on behalf of an absent owner.
8 of the 23 houses take dogs. Pet fees and limits vary by house, so it is worth asking when you enquire.
$300 to $5,500 a night depending on the house, the season and the length of stay. Rates are highest between January and April and over holiday weekends.
Most of our Palm Springs houses take a two or three night minimum, longer over holidays, Modernism Week and Coachella weekends. A few carry a 28 night minimum or more — each house's own page shows which applies to it.
It depends on the trip. To walk to restaurants and VillageFest, stay near downtown in Old Las Palmas or the Movie Colony. For classic mid-century architecture and room to spread out, the north end. For quiet and views, The Mesa and the hillside streets of South Palm Springs.
From the central neighborhoods, yes. From the hillside houses in The Mesa, Little Tuscany or South Palm Springs you will want a car — the views are the trade.

Very easy, great setting. Location is amazing, wonderful quiet street with nice friendly neighbors. House is well appointed. Service was AMAZING!!! So responsive.
The home was perfect for us. It is so quiet and tucked away against the mountains. It's one of the closest properties to the rest of So Cal right off 111 and very close to downtown Palm Springs. The seclusion you feel on the pool deck with rock walls all around is so relaxing. We loved the gentle waterfall from the top hot tub down to the pool. The rooms were setup well so everyone had their own private space. And the staff at Desert Luxury Estates were very professional, helpful,...
Great host! Everytime I have any issues, they were quick to addressed it and I appreciate the effort. The house is beautiful and I love the decor of the house! Would definitely recommend.
