Description Orange Chaise Dreams: Palm Springs

Mid-century modern done with personality – this house delivers the Palm Springs dream in full. The outdoor space is the star of the show – a pool and spa with mountain views, sun loungers ideal for sprawling, and a covered patio strung with lights for long alfresco lunches. After dark, two fire pits pull everyone into the backyard, and the main bedroom's sliding doors open straight onto the terrace when you're ready to call it a night. Shopping, dining, and hiking trails are all close by, too.

Home truths:
* If you're travelling with young children, bear in mind that the home is family-friendly but not child- or baby-proofed – and the pool is in the backyard, which isn't fenced.
* You'll need a car in this location, as it's the easiest way to explore Palm Springs and the wider area. Parking is provided.
* Guests must be 25 years of age or older to rent this home.
