OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
This backyard is the ultimate Palm Springs playground. The heated saltwater pool and spa take center stage, surrounded by lounge chairs, shade umbrellas, and a hammock perfect for lazy afternoons. The outdoor kitchen includes a built-in barbecue, serving counter, and ice chest, making it easy to host poolside meals. Dine under the covered pavilion or gather in the outdoor living room, anchored by a striking two-level fire feature that sets the mood after dark. The backyard also offers a rolling lawn area, an outdoor shower, and breathtaking mountain views. Step through sliding glass doors into the converted game room with ping pong and extra hangout space, keeping the fun going all day and night.

** 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 **

INDOOR LIVING SPACES
The home’s design honors its Alexander roots with open-concept living, clean lines, and original post-and-beam ceilings, while adding modern conveniences throughout. Walls of glass fill the living and dining areas with natural light and connect seamlessly to the backyard. The living room is comfortably furnished with a spacious midcentury-inspired sectional, a vintage Elvis movie poster, and a 55” 4K television paired with premium Martin Logan speakers. Guests can stream music through Pandora or internet radio and enjoy cinematic sound while relaxing indoors. The dining area and kitchen flow effortlessly together, creating a social hub for shared meals, cocktails, and conversation.
