LEMON DROP

Capture the magic and fun of Palm Springs relaxed living in this newly renovated California modern ranch home. Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Central Palm Springs, this property is located in the highly desirable Movie Colony East neighborhood which is within walking distance to Ruth Hardy Park, Spa Resort Casino, Convention Center and the famed Downtown Palm Springs village center with restaurants, nightlife, boutiques and galleries.

The interior of the home was completely remodeled from head to toe and artfully decorated by local designers H3K with a meticulous attention to style, comfort and thoughtful details. Everything is new. The cool white walls and gleaming tile floors provide a soothing backdrop to the bold pops of color in lemon yellow, tangerine orange and peacock blue. The fashionable furnishings include sleek leather sofas, chrome and wood accents, plush headboards, fun area rugs, colorful nostalgic artwork & photographs and whimsical accessories. Designer lighting and deluxe finishes add ambiance and elegance to the home.

Relax, unwind and enjoy spending time with family and friends. The open and spacious layout provides an ideal environment for easy entertaining with room for everyone. The many windows and sliding glass doors brighten the living spaces with generous natural light and take advantage of the abundant Palm Springs sun and beautiful mountain vistas.

The comfortable and inviting living area uses one open space to connect kitchen, lounging and dining areas while flowing smoothly to the private backyard oasis. Enjoy watching your favorite Netflix movie on the 56” flat screen HDTV. Gather with friends on cool evenings around the gas fireplace listening to your favorite tunes on the Bose Bluetooth stereo while watching the cook whip up a fantastic meal or some crafty cocktails.

The kitchen features a full suite of stainless steel appliances including wine fridge, quartz countertops, colorful glass backsplash and loads of European style cabinets. The space is optimally designed with plenty of room for preparing gourmet culinary creations for you and your guests. Outfitted with all brand new dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, utensils, spices and much more. The adjacent dining area seats up to 8 people and is perfect for holiday meals or intimate dinners with close friends and family. The chrome and glass table, hip chairs and glitzy wall art contribute to the chic modern flair of this swanky dining area.

The crown jewel of this property is the completely private outdoor living space on a 1/3 acre lot with soaring western mountain views of San Jacinto and no power lines. The fully walled and gated backyard lined with mature ficus hedges is a vacationers dream. The desert landscaped grounds are well manicured and lovingly maintained with towering palm trees, cacti, rock gardens, flowering shrubs and many varieties of succulent plants. By day, indulge in a refreshing dip in the heated SALTWATER Pebble Tec pool. Soak in the sun and terrific mountain views from the sleek modern lounge chairs. Relax under the umbrella or covered lanai with a cool drink. At sunset, enjoy a dip in the heated 6-person spa beneath the breathtaking canopy of twinkling desert stars. Prepare a romantic twilight meal in the outdoor kitchen with natural gas Weber BBQ seated under the outdoor dining gazebo. Or gather for conversation with friends around the chiminea. There are plenty of pool floats, umbrellas and towels for your use.

The resort experience continues as you are pampered with first class comfort and amenities. The master suite features a new King mattress with the finest Hotel Collection linens, 42” flat screen HDTV, handy desk, plenty of dresser storage, large walk-in closet and access to the backyard and pool through sliding glass doors. The en suite bath offers a large custom tile walk-in double shower with rain and handheld showerheads as well as multiple spray heads. Double floating vanities with quartz counters and plenty of storage for toiletries, modern fixtures, Hotel Collection towels and a bidet complete the luxury experience.

Beautiful, comfortable, fun place to stay

Our group of 4 longtime friends met in Palm Springs for a weekend getaway from cold and gray winters around the country. This property is beautiful, well laid out, well furnished, and a fun place to stay. Very comfortable beds in each bedroom, with high quality bedding and towels. We enjoyed the heated spa in the morning, made use of the cook’s kitchen and outdoor grill, and appreciated the quiet neighborhood. We loved the instruction binder and labeled switches throughout the home. We especially loved that the entire home was clean and fresh. We would recommend Lemon Drop to anyone coming to Palm Springs for vacation.

Amazing Stay!!!

My girlfriend loved this getaway spot with our lovely pup. She needed somewhere to relax for a few days while I was gone for work and Lemon Drop was the perfect place. Her visit went so well that I immediately rebooked the house for her upcoming birthday. I highly recommend this home to anybody looking to escape to Palm Springs.

Very nice house, very large and clean, fabulous pool, sub adequate a/c

The house is very pretty, clean, in a great neighborhood, and has a dreamy pool. Kitchen and bathrooms are dated, but our biggest complaint was the a/c. There is a note at the thermostat that the a/c should not be set below 76 Degrees (that means it needs repair). If the house maintained 76 it would have been just fine, but only the great room and the single bedroom were cool. The main and double bedroom had temperatures in the 80s. Fortunately there is a well stocked linen closet because the four of us in those two bedrooms slept on the living room couches.

Great property, pool, and view

This was our first time staying right in Palm Springs and weren’t sure of being closer to the airport. We definitely heard and saw planes taking off during the day but found it didn’t bother us at all, during the day or night, as it seemed most flights stopped in the evening. The weather was a bit cooler when we were there than expected, but the pool and spa was heated to the perfect temperature, so was still fun in the pool with no complaints from the kids. The salt water in the pool was awesome and I’m not sure we’d stay somewhere again that doesn’t have one. It was so gentle on our skin, without the irritation we’d usually get from chlorine treated pools. The bbq worked very well, although we didn’t find the outdoor kitchen as functional as we thought it might be. But it was a bit cool to use it anyhow. The layout of the house was perfect for us (my wife and I, two young kids and their grandma). The house was very nice and clean when we arrived, and felt very welcoming with the music on and fresh scent when we first walked in. We did find though that pet hair seemed to appear as the days went on. We don’t have pets and have allergies, so are likely more sensitive to this than most, but was a bit of a drawback for us. Regardless though, it’s not something that would deter us from staying again. We just swept the floor a few times and was good. The kitchen is a bit of an odd setup, but had everything you need, and worked well when we got used to it a bit more. The furnishings all looked very nice, but found weren’t quite as practical when it came to lounging and comfort. But again, not a significant deterrence. All the TVs (well the ones we used) worked with no issue, and the Bose stereo was great to stream music on from our phones. So all in all, was a great stay and we were just sad we hadn’t booked to stay longer!

Very comfortable and stylish Palm Springs home

Our visit was for a guy trip of just a few close friends. Bottom line: I would recommend it highly to anyone considering it. Pros: Excellent and responsive property management company Keyless check in was nice Arrival and departure requirements were reasonable Property was clean Interior and exterior was beautiful Home had some really interesting art and colors used throughout the home Beds were comfortable Lots of sleeping options if you had bigger groups than we had (4 people) The home had some very “euro” appointments such as outlets for Europeans traveling to the US (not relevant to us but cool), towel warmers, and even a small urinal in the bathroom (which was quirky/cool). Pool was really nice and refreshing Landscaping was beautiful and fit the locale very well Beautiful landscape up lights lighting up the cacti and other desert foliage Spectacular mountain views Cons: AC cooling limit. Most of our party would’ve preferred to maintain the temperature lower than 74° at night although we followed this stipulation all the way throughout our stay. It wasn’t terrible but if a friend asked me if I would recommend the property knowing that you can’t cool the home below 74°. The answer would be “yes but the AC can’t go below 74° because it will ‘freeze’ if sleeping in a cooler temps is important to you.” I’m confident this is something that can be addressed and improved. It doesn’t have to be stuck at such a high temp. Even in 100°+ temps. One of our guests reported not being able to sleep because they felt warm which is unfortunate for a trip for designed for rest, relaxation, and self care. Spa Heat - there’s an extra fee to use the spa heat which feels petty when you spend thousands of dollars to stay at a property. Instead I’d propose the owner simply install a timer system to control costs that turns the heat off automatically after 45 minutes etc. Best of both worlds. Less admin work etc Gives guests the option. Noise Controls - appreciate why they are there and is the city’s fault not the owner, etc. But it made us feel anxious about talking while outside and we would’ve liked to listen to music at a reasonable level outside but did not. Perhaps this will end up costing Palm Springs property owners some lost revenue to nearby communities. Small fixes - master shower heads did not all work. Rain shower didn’t work. Concrete around the pool was chipped in places. Perhaps palms needed a trim.
