This is a wonderful vacation property. Beautiful setting and comfortable furnishings. We felt right at home. Located near the back of the small complex, so the backyard was spacious and private, except for the hummingbirds who visited often. Walking distance to shops and restaurants, and also hiking trails. Terrific host who is attentive and accommodating. Only disappointment was that it is already booked for next season.
Our stay here was just perfect! The unit was spacious, clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Loved the mid century modern architecture. Definitely will stay here again!
We have stayed here before and decided to return because we enjoyed our visit and the easy communication with the owner. We highly recommend staying here.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home.
It met all our expectations and when we did have a very minor issue, James took care of it immediately.
This home is everything it says in the description and more. Well located to be able to go anywhere you might want in the Palm Springs, RanchonMirage, Palm Desert areas. Quiet, well decorated, very relaxing and a true gem.
The owner was super nice and easy to reach with questions.
We look forward to coming back in a few months.

Nice space for a Palm Springs get-away
This is a very nice, historic condo, with a great view in a great location in Palm Springs. The area provides access to hiking in the local mountains. The unit is very private and quiet, well furnished, and has a nice private patio for sunning.
The pool and spa are close to the unit.
This was our third time staying at this property, so we were very familiar with the complex and surrounding area. Great location, close to all we needed. Property has been well maintained and kept to the mid-century modern feel, with period appropriate decor.
We did have a plumbing issue which was promptly addressed by James. Thank you again for another lovely stay…we will be back next year!
In a word, this home is “awesome”.
Both the interior and exterior are very spacious.
This mid century modern home is beautifully decorated and had all the essentials for a very enjoyable month long stay.
James is a caring host. He responded very promptly to a few minor issues and had them resolved quickly.
The location is in proximity to the best of Palm Springs, including walking to a strip mall and a short drive to downtown and many hiking trails.
Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return. The place provides a vintage Palm Springs experience reminiscent of the 1960’s. The outdoor space is great and provides access to sun and shade throughout the day. The common pool is good for swimming and provides wonderful views of the mountains, palms and crystal blue sky. Location is good with rapid access to tennis, hiking and essential shopping. Downtown is only a quick cycle or drive away. James, the host, is very quick, helpful and responsive, if needed.
We spent 4 beautiful weeks in the great accommodation of James. The style of the condominium (mid century modern) was exactly what we had envisioned for an extended stay in Palm Springs.
The house lacked nothing and everything was exactly as described in the pictures and the ad text. We enjoyed the house, the spacious terrace and the great pool. If there was ever a small problem, James as host was immediately on hand (via WhatsApp or mail) and helped.
It was a great stay and we can definitely recommend the accommodation of James. Should we come to Palm Springs again, this would be our first choice.
We booked this home 6 months in advance and did so because we love the historical nature of the complex. We love mid century architecture and this place did not disappoint!
The home is exactly as shown online and James was wonderful to work with. We didn't have any issues at all and we were there for a month.
We were lucky to be there during Modernism Week and we were able to view other townhomes in this complex. It was so fun!
The pool and hot tub area are lovely and we had it to ourselves often. The pool is heated and we swam in February which was so nice.
The home has many of its original features and was bright and roomy. The back of the home is all glass and faces south so we had lots of warm light and some mountain views.
We would rent again from James for sure. You won't be disappointed with this one!
Second year in a row that I have stayed here. Just as amazing as the last time. Perfect mid-mod condo with great a/c and a wonderful pool in a great location.
The owner is terrific and responded immediately when we had a problem. Property manager slower but we have no complaints overall. Lovely and peaceful, definitely a walk back to what I remember of the mid 60s.
Loved the light and space. TV and sound system were great. Kitchen needed some items that we purchased. Gave it four stars as the oven grills were clean but oven interior needed a hood sc
scrub. (Due to its age not sure if it’s possible.)
Lovely patio for a dinner party. Enjoyed the walk ability & nearby restaurants.
I spent the month out in PS working remotely. The internet speed was excellent. The place is an iconic mid-mod pad that will not disappoint. Location is ideal - Just minutes away from downtown PS. Owner was easy to reach and responded quickly. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for that ideal Palm Springs experience.
From the minute I entered this beautiful place, I felt I was home. I told people I could live there forever. It was quiet, spacious, beautifully decorated, well appointed with all the amenities, and just a pleasure to spend time in. Communication with the owner was exceptional and I left feeling rested, restored and happy!
We spent a month at James' place and absolutely loved the property. So many special architectural details in this complex. Great outdoor patio and community pool. Location was very close to downtown Palm Springs. Overall a very lovely home, exceeded all of our expectations, and James was easy to stay in touch with throughout our stay! We hope to be back someday.
We enjoyed our time at James’ condo. Pictures accurately reflect the condo. Happy to find there is a bar area off the kitchen, as well as a small desk in the guest room that weren’t shown. Although some of the appliances and kitchen wear are quite vintage, we found everything worked well and we were quite comfortable cooking at the condo. Large patio gives you lots of space to stretch out in the sun and the common pool area was fairly close and infrequently used. We’d love to stay here again!
James' house was a delightful place. Very open and spacious, and the community pool and other shared areas were very nice and clean. James was very prompt with communication and very helpful about everything.
Although interrupted by the covid-19 pandemic, we enjoyed our 2 week stay in James' condo. Previous reviews and pictures were very accurate. At more than 1400 sq. feet, it's filled with natural light (read about Barry Berukus and the type of construction).
As James noted, the condo sits in the rear corner of the property thus having two, large (connected) patios. The s/sw exposure allows for sun all day long. We found all amenities as described. The kitchen, althoug "kitschy" is fully functional. The bedrooms are large and well outfitted. The connected living room/den is huge, allowing for personal space as desired.
We love the location in South Palm Springs. It's a 3 block walk to the 'berm' which parallels the Whitewater wash and Indian Canyons golf course. At almost 3 miles long, it allows for a wonderful, flat walk. If one desires more of a challenge, the hills behind are a short distance away, filled with hiking trails.
The small complex (31 units) has a nicely sized pool and hot tub. Laundry facilities, although not in-house, are a short distance away. Shopping, restaurants and golf courses are nearby.
James was easily available by email and telephone. A minor plumbing problem was quickly addressed by contacting him to arrange for a plumber to fix.
James was generous to compensate us for our early departure. We hope to be able to arrange a future visit in this wonderful property.
