Description Palm Escape: Palm Springs

A walled terrace shaded by desert skies is where this Palm Springs pad earns its keep – pull up a chair for lunch in the desert sun, or simply stretch out and let the afternoon drift by. The main bedroom opens directly onto that outdoor space, so you're never too far away from the sun. With eight shared pools and spas, plus pickleball and tennis courts, the gated resort community offers plenty to keep you busy. Downtown Palm Springs and its mid-century architecture are close when you're ready to explore.

Home truths:
* The nearest groceries, shops, and restaurants are around 2 miles away, so you'll want a car for day-to-day errands. The good news is free private parking is available at the home.
* For those with reduced mobility, this is a ground-floor apartment.
* You'll have access to the eight on-site pools and Jacuzzis, as well as pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts. They're shared with other residents. Some of the pools and Jacuzzis are heated seasonally.
* Guests must be 25 years of age or older to rent this home.
