About this property

Chez Alain & Michou

🌵Alain & Michou🌴 have brought beauty and inspiration to their house.
Imagine an airy home inspired by the french coastal lifestyle. It’s inviting and comfortable, built on environmentally friendly choices and a focus on personal wellbeing.

Disappearing walls of glass seamlessly blur the line between indoors and out.

From Handcrafted polished concrete to wood deck overlooking the pool, every detail and amenity was chosen to create an inviting, relaxing atmosphere.

On chillier desert evenings, cozy up around the welcoming fireplace in the sitting area, enjoy the warmth of friends and family around the outdoor dining table for eight, or catch up at the breakfast island in the fully equipped chef’s kitchen.

Savor enchanting days by the swimming pool, relaxing in the hot tub, sunbathing on loungers or directly on the wood deck, and plunging into the scintillating waters.

To entertain you can play some bocce ball, corn hole or If you’re looking for more high-tech entertainment, the sound system and the smart TV are sure to satisfy.
And you can even enjoy watching a movie from the pool or the hot tub!

The villa offers four bedrooms.
The master suite is the most spacious of them all and features a superb open-concept bathroom creating an authentic and stylish ambiance.

The shared bathroom makes also a statement with an outstanding freestanding bathtub elevated on a deck.

“A stunning décor statement.”

Each room is tastefully decorated and features soft bed linens, throw blankets, Smart TV, walk-in closets and…bathrobes :-)

Located in the quiet area of the Demuth Park, it’s only a 10 minutes ride from the Palm Springs Art Museum and the shops, restaurants and mid-century architecture of downtown Palm Springs.
The Mesquite Golf and Country Club is 5 minutes away, while Indio, home of the Coachella Festival Grounds and Indian Wells, is an easy drive away.
As well as the Mount San Jacinto aerial tramway, which whisks you up to incredible views.

“we designed this home with passion and love. Sharing this home means opening our world. Make memories here!”
– Alain & Michou, your hosts

"939’s aesthetic is a guide to rest and relaxation with an architecture and interior design defined by clean lines, natural wood, cement floors, and overall stark style. It’s flowing indoor/outdoor space allowed us to stay engaged with one another while in the comfort of the area that served us individually. Watching Netflix from a floaty in the pool, while others lounged on the sofa and/or snacked at the dining table was a breathtaking experience."
– Kiwan, guests

Treat our home as you would your own home :-)

Indoor outdoor living!

We absolutely loved our stay. The sliding wall was wonderful. The house was well appointed, like a hotel but better. Kitchen was well equipped. Style was wonderful but sofa could be challenging for older folks. Loved the pool, spa and outdoor fire pit. All in all a great experience

Beautiful, serene place

House was so peaceful and visually serene. Modern and fresh in the heat of the day, cozy and warm in the cool evenings. Bathrooms were really nice. And everything we clean. We were three adult women and had plenty of space - and could easily have fit a couple more people without feeling crowded. Location wasn’t walkable to anything, but a short drive downtown. Ubers were easy to find. Neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. Host was super fast with responses and helpful with a few questions we had. We’d stay here again!

Elegant, modern, well appointed

This is most elegant house we have stayed in over the past 6 years of 3 night stays in PS. We loved the aesthetic: minimalist, modern, well appointed, great layout, perfect backyard with jacuzzi, pool, grill and outdoor dining area. We like to cook so it worked out perfectly. Julian the host responded immediately. We will definitely try and book it again but I fear such a sterling review will make it harder to book.

Birthday Celebration in Palm Springs

A group of old friend traveled to Palm Springs to celebrate my 60th birthday. We LOVED this house. It was perfect for us and exactly as described online. Great light and an open floor plan allowed us to flow, swim eat and laugh. Highly recommend this place!!

Just what we signed up for and Perfect!

We were a group of 5 adult family members and we never felt we were in each others way. Hard to say about most places, even home! The space was indoor / outdoor which totally expanded our space. The pool was clean and inviting and we swam everyday! The kitchen was attractive and well planned. There was enough of everything we needed and all the tools and gadgits. Beds were comfy and closets had hangers and hooks as well as robes and slippers. The baths were just what we needed, spalike. Laundry was perfect, quiet and there was laundry pods! If our plans bring us back, we hope to check in again.

About the host

Hosted by Julien

Host profile image
Hello!
I’m Julien!
My wife Victoria and I were born and raised in France and we’ve been living in the USA for 6 years now.
We work in the equestrian world and spend 4 months every year at the desert horse show in the Coachella Valley.
This is how we fell in love with the desert, the valley, its mountains and Palm Springs lifestyle…
Living in the desert with a french coastal lifestyle inspiration is a dream come true when “Chez Alain & Michou” was born.
Why chez Alain and Michou? Don’t be confused, simply because they are victoria’s father and uncle who came directly from France to help us making this place very unique :-)
They put so much energy and we are so proud of the oucome that we could not name the house differently :-)

We are sincerely happy to host you.
Our goal is to make your experience unique and we believe that our place showcases the best aspects of living in Palm Springs with a slight "french touch" :-)
Please let me know if there is anything we can do to make your time here better.

Merci!

Julien
