The City of Palm Springs ID #3598

Spring has sprung in Palm Springs! You're going to love Casa Chia and its amazing backyard paradise with 30-foot long swimming pool, 8-person spa & stellar mountain views. And you don't need to deal with a non-responsive management company--this home is run by the owners who offer top-notch, personalized service and speedy response times. But don't take our word for it, check out some recent high praise from our awesome guests...

"We Loved It So Much, We Came Back the Next Year!" David H.

“Our favorite place to stay!” Marilyn T

"The location was perfect." Shawn C

“We 100% recommend this property. Pool/yard was a dream. House fully equipped with everything you need.” Tammie H.

LOCATION

Centrally located in the popular Movie Colony East neighborhood, Casa Chia is a charming, remodeled 3-bedroom 2-bathroom Mid-Century house that embodies everything Palm Springs, including fun decor and gorgeous Desert landscaping. The home is close to downtown and only two blocks to 2 supermarkets, Starbucks, Dominos, Winchell's Donuts, McDonalds, Taco Bell, and lots more shopping and food options. And it's an easy walk to the free public tennis courts at Ruth Hardy Park. This prime location is a fantastic starting point for a hike or bike ride around town, and offers everything you'll need for an unforgettable Palm Springs getaway.

BACKYARD OASIS

This is why you stay at Casa Chia! Any stress you arrive with should melt away once you catch the unsurpassed, panoramic mountain views from our huge backyard paradise, which includes a newer sparkling 30-foot-long pool, 8-person spa, gas grill, fire pit, chaise lounges, colorful umbrellas, shaded day bed, and much more. Just outside the kitchen, you'll find the shaded pergola-covered patio. Fire up the gas grill and dine alfresco at the glass-top table for six. There's an adjacent dining table for an additional four so plenty of outdoor dining accommodations. Take a refreshing dip in the remodeled (2024), sparkling 30-foot-long swimming pool, or a rejuvenating soak in the 8-person spa. Sip cocktails around the fire pit at night, or simply lounge in any of the many seating areas located throughout the enormous, private backyard, all while taking in the breathtaking mountain views. Endless possibilities—you're on vacation!

INSIDE THE HOME

The home is professionally cleaned and sanitized between each guest's stay. The living room features a long, comfy sofa with throw pillows, cool mid-century modern chairs, lots of books & board games, and a 60-inch Samsung smart TV with free access to local networks. Use your personal credentials to access streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and more. Our high speed Internet and WIFI is complimentary. We also provide loads of tourist brochures & restaurant menus to help you navigate your way through your entertainment and dining options during your stay in Palm Springs.

KITCHEN & DINING

The kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare hearty meals, including refrigerator, gas stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, pots & pans, dishes, glasses, coffee maker, toaster, electric tea kettle, blender, utensils, sugar, spices, coffee filters, and more. When it's time to eat, gather at the dining table off the kitchen or dine al fresco just outside on the pergola-covered patio overlooking the sparkling pool & spa.

BEDS & BATHS

The home sleeps a maximum of six guests with a total of three bedrooms. The primary bedroom offers a California king bed and en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. French doors lead directly from the primary bedroom out to the private backyard oasis and pool area. The second and third guest bedrooms each offer a queen-size bed, closets & built-in dresser drawers. The second hallway bathroom has a tub/shower combination. All bedrooms feature thick curtains for privacy and daylight blocking.

EXTRA AMENITIES & MORE DETAILS

Guest amenities include complimentary high speed WIFI, Central Air Conditioning & Heat, Washer & Dryer, Iron & Ironing Board, Blow Dryers, and fans in every room. Newer double-pane windows throughout home, and plenty of free parking in the driveway and on the street.

GETTING AROUND

You're an easy walk, bike ride or quick Uber to downtown Palm Springs where you'll find award-winning restaurants as well as the quaint shops on Palm Canyon Drive. Or try your luck at the popular Spa Resort Casino.

There's plenty to do, from hiking trails & Mid-century home tours to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway—an unforgettable 2.5-mile ride up the San Jacinto Mountains in the world's largest rotating tram car (a must!). And you're only a short drive to the very popular Joshua Tree National Park & Pioneer Town. We hope you enjoy your stay at Casa Chia and leave Palm Springs with a lasting memory of a wonderful time with family and friends.

Some Basic Rules and Things To Note:

1. OCCUPANCY & AGE REQUIREMENTS: There is a maximum of 6 overnight guests per city of Palm Springs Vacation Rental Ordinance. The primary responsible renter must be 25 years or older and meet the host at check-in to verify government issued ID (Driver’s License or Passport).

2. POOL & SPA HEAT: Spa heat is complimentary. Pool heat is optional for a fee of $69/day. Contact the host after booking to request pool heat, which is recommended between the months of October–May when the water temperature drops well below 60 degrees. The total pool heat fee must be paid separately from your booking fees to the host via Venmo or Zelle at least two days prior to guest arrival. Don't worry, we will remind you a week before your arrival regarding pool heat option. Pool & Spa use hours are between 7 am to 11 pm.

3. PETS: We love our furry friends and allow a maximum of 2 DOGS (sorry no other animals). We charge a flat fee of $39 per night for up to two dogs. You must select the pet option when completing your VRBO booking. Guests who arrive with a pet not registered in their booking, or bring an animal onto the premises anytime during their stay without having paid the appropriate fee or made arrangements with the Host will be denied access to the home without refund.

4. PROPERTY ACCESS: This home utilizes a front door digital lock that requires a unique code for each guest to enter. The code is reset after each guest's stay, so you don't have to worry about a previous guest still having access. You will receive your access code via email or text on the day of your check-in once your rental agreement and City of Palm Springs Good Neighbor documents have been signed (see below) and government-issued ID verified.

There is a Ring doorbell/camera at the front entry door and a driveway security camera, both of which record video and audio so we are able to check-in guests remotely when we are unable to meet in person. There's a 3rd camera aimed at the pool motor & equipment area, which is off limits.

5. DAMAGE WAIVER: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a flat-rate, non-refundable damage waiver fee as low as $59, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). The Damage Waiver covers Host expenses for up to $1,500 caused by accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) if Guest reports the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a costly traditional security deposit.

6. RENTAL AGREEMENT & CITY DOCUMENTS: You will receive a City-required short term rental agreement & documents outlining house rules and City of Palm Springs Good Neighbor ordinances that will need to be signed (digital signature via Docusign) before your stay is fully approved and front door access granted.

Amazing yard!

The perfect house. Owner was quick to respond and communicative. The back yard is ideal for lounging, swimming, hot tubbing, hanging with friends or family. Owners did a beautiful job landscaping and lighting the back yard. Beautiful location with views of the mountains. I highly recommend this place.

Winter Escape

Just home and already missing morning coffee by the pool. We were lucky enough to spend three weeks in Palm Springs and Casa Chia was a terrific 'home'. We booked this property for the pool and yard and it did not disappoint. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog and our grandchildren who visited for a few days. Location was great for all Palm Springs activities, only downside is airport noise. Gerry was a terrific host and very responsive before our arrival and during our stay.

What More Do You Need?!

It is a perfect little, mid-century decor place in an ideal place to get a little walk in before and after dinner. Homey, comfortable and clean. With the perfect backyard to relax, swim, entertain, etc. And Gerry is awesome. So nice! With great recommendations for dinner! Will definitely be back.

You feel the love in Casa Chia, the house has everything you need and tons of charm. The garden, pool and hot tub is just magnificent. Can’t wait to return. Thank you Gerry Superstar!

We Loved It So Much, We Came Back the Next Year!

The title says it all! Somewhat last-minute, we decided to vacation in Palm Springs again for spring break. Given our timeframe, we explored all the available rentals in the area. When we saw that the place we stayed at last year wasn’t available for our exact travel dates, we used it as the benchmark for comparing other options in our price point.After reviewing many properties and considering our must-haves—a private backyard, sunny pool, hot tub, mid-century modern style (but not overtly), and a convenient location—this one still stood out as the best. Some places had tiny backyards, others had shaded pools, and some just didn’t have the right vibe (why rent a vacation house that feels like a house in your own neighborhood?). While a few had great locations, none checked all the boxes quite like this one. In the end, it remained our top choice—so we adjusted our trip dates to fit its availability!Once again, it was an amazing stay, and we’re so glad we returned. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Gerry Moylan

Host profile image
We have owned this wonderful Palm Springs home since 2016 and have hosted hundreds of vacation travelers like you. We parted ways with our management company a few years ago, as we found that managing the property ourselves gives our guests as much personal attention as they desire as well as instant access to help when they need it (no being put on hold listening to really bad music). And we've poured our heart and soul into every detail of this home to make your stay in this incredible desert community one of the best and most memorable travel experiences of your lives. Phillip and I are super responsive to our guests who can call, text or email us anytime.

Why they chose this property

Casa Chia is close to downtown and just 2 blocks to TWO supermarkets, Starbucks, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Dominos, Subway, Pizza, Donut Shops, Wells Fargo Bank, Walgreens Pharmacy, Gas Station and more! We offer the perfect location in the famed Movie Colony East to start a nice hike to pretty much anywhere in Palm Springs! And we're also super close to the public tennis courts at Ruth Hardy Park.

What makes this property unique

The obvious answer here is the HUGE backyard with a 30-foot long pool and 8-person spa! There are also several lounging areas, including chaise lounges, daybed, firepit, and plenty of chairs & tables. Plus, total privacy in the backyard paradise! And those mountain views look like a giant photograph from every corner of the property. Also, as mentioned above, the homeowners personally manage the property so communication is a breeze.
