OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
Step into your private outdoor sanctuary, where breathtaking mountain vistas await. Take a refreshing dip in the expansive salt-water pool, ideal for leisurely laps, or unwind in the newly added eight-person infinity-style spa tucked into one corner. The generously furnished pool deck invites you to relax on four padded lounge chairs, basking in the sun or choosing the cool shade of multiple umbrellas. An outdoor dining table, shaded by an overhead pergola, sets the scene for al fresco meals, while the stainless steel grill, fueled by a natural gas line, guarantees an endless supply for your culinary delights. As night falls, gather around and marvel at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway's ascent to the peak of the San Jacinto Mountains. Your evenings here are destined for enchantment.

** The pool will be heated upon request with an additional service fee. Please let us know if you'd like to heat the pool so we can ensure it is heated before your arrival. If you home has a spa or hot tub, heating the spa is included with your rental at no extra cost **

** Please Note: 1. This fee is not included in the quoted price on some booking platforms. 2. Pool heating may be added in minimum of 3 day blocks per request **

THE INDOOR LIVING SPACES
Step into the bright and expansive open floor plan, offering seamless views of the outdoor pool area and garden. The living area exudes style with furnishings by renowned mid-century modern designers, gracing polished concrete floors that truly encapsulate the Palm Springs vibe. Sink into the sofa for a relaxing TV session or enjoy a book by the corner window, adjacent to the fireplace. For indoor dining, the hip tulip table invites you to experience a touch of George Jetson's flair.

The fully-equipped kitchen provides ample space for cooking, dining, and relaxation with loved ones. Preserving the mod atomic style, original mid-century cabinetry adds a nostalgic touch. Up-to-date stainless steel appliances and a generous array of kitchen gadgets make preparing anything from a holiday feast to a midnight snack effortlessly chic.

What a huge disappointment!
We've been visiting Palm Springs for 12 years, and we have stayed in some beautiful properties. The Butterfly Alexander was not one of them. As many people do, we reviewed the list and booked based on the appearance of the photos. What we got was a huge disappointment - the property is not in the nicest of neigborhood section, the property is generally run down from the outside maintenance to the inside appearance. It's basic; furnishings are more of an afterthought; pool towels were old and dirty; the primary suite mattress was absolutely terrible (our friends who we gave the primary suite said they woke up folded up like a sandwich and was terribly uncomfortable.) They ended up in the extra guest room. The pool heating we paid for wasn't turned on until the day after arrival when we called management. I would absolutely not stay here again, and if you're looking for your first house rental experience, I would encourage you to not book this property either. Total ripoff.
