Description Palm Springs Gem: Palm Springs

Palm trees, cacti, and the San Jacinto Mountains as your backdrop – it doesn’t get more Palm Springs than this. Full of mid-century charm with all the modern comforts, it’s close to downtown but tucked away in a quiet spot. Outside, there's a private pool and spa, plus a barbecue for sunset cookouts. Inside, the open-plan living space has tall ceilings and a sleek cocktail bar, while a bonus bedroom with a daybed is ideal for kids. It's just a short walk from local boutiques, restaurants and bars. Plus, hire a car, and you'll have hiking trails, golf courses, and even Joshua Tree National Park all within easy reach.
