Topaz - Vista Las Palmas Alexander with casita!
CITY ID#:002240
The amenities are endless at this beautifully updated mid-century home in one of Palm Springs' most iconic neighborhoods, Vista Las Palmas. Nestled at the foot of the San Jacinto mountain range, this home is in a quiet, upscale neighborhood that is walking distance from downtown Palm Springs.
The home boasts original design features like an atrium entry courtyard, shadow-block and glass wall, large skylights, natural beams and tongue and groove ceiling – all hallmarks of architect William Krisel’s midcentury design. The open living room is thoughtfully designed with midcentury influences, sufficient seating for the whole family, a large 60" HDTV, and a charming reading nook. Adjacent, an enormous dining space has seating for 12 and has an additional sofa lounge. Just beyond that is another cozy den with reading chaise and desk, and a full bathroom.
At the center of the home a fully-stocked gourmet kitchen basks in tons of natural light. Perfectly outfitted there’s granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, wine-fridge, 5 burner range, oven, warming drawer, microwave, and endless storage in sleek tiger-wood cabinetry. And to keep the chef company, there’s breakfast bar seating for 4.
The private wing of the home hosts an enormous primary suite with king bed, flatscreen TV, walk-in closet, and ensuite with a large walk-in double shower. There are two more guest bedrooms, both with king beds, flatscreen TVs and individual baths (one ensuite, one separate). All rooms in this home have independent outdoor access, opening to entry courtyard, side yard or pool.
Outside, a stand-alone casita with living room, full kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. The casita living room boasts another 60" HDTV, and the bedroom has a luxury queen pillow-top bed that overlooks the lush yard, pool, and mountains. The casita also has its own patio, an amazing pergola with outdoor suspended daybed, and fire pit.
In the backyard a pristine, topaz-blue saltwater pool and spa sparkle under the San Jacinto mountain range. There is an original shadow-block wall water feature, custom pool-side lounge seating surrounding a gas fire pit, a 10 person outdoor dining table and outdoor kitchen.
All these amenities come wrapped in a perfectly manicured, perfectly private garden oasis. Experience this midcentury jewel for yourself!

This house was perfect for 7 girlfriends for our annual trip to the desert. There is plenty of space inside and out, the kitchen is well-equipped, and the location is terrific.
the property was very nice and had everything we needed including everyone having their own bathroom! The beds and bedding were very comfortable and we loved the saltwater pool!

Really wonderful stay- great house in fantastic neighborhood and excellent management service!
Topaz house is a delightful property that was just as beautiful in person as it was on the listing. Bedrooms and bathrooms were large, private and very comfortable. Casita is a great addition. Good kitchen for cooking/entertaining and the pool/deck/firepit were fantastic. We'll be back.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The weather was wonderful so we were able to fully use the beautiful backyard. The hosts were very responsive to the few questions we had. The kitchen could use some updating, but the cupboards were stocked nicely for preparing meals. We will definitely be staying again.
This house was perfect for our recent stay in Palm Springs. The three bedrooms in the house all had very comfy king size beds.
If only the hot water in the bathrooms worked while we were there. Thankfully they were able to get one bathroom in the main house to have hot water during our stay.
I would also recommend purchasing some new pots and pans. We did not really cook in the house other than breakfast.
I would definitely recommend this place.
This property is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with a spectacular mountain view from the backyard pool area. The house is well furnished and well stocked with everything for a family stay. The separate casita was the perfect "bachelor pad" for our adult son who was staying with us. The Altamira staff were friendly and responsive. The only issue we had was with the hot water (it wasn't hot - there were instructions provided in the property manual about how to increase the water temperature but it didn't work for me - I'm not a fan of "instantaneous" water heaters). The hot tub at the pool was hot though - and easy to operate with a single button (rather than a phone app or i-pad that we've had issues with at other properties we've stayed at in the neighbourhood). Would definitely stay there again - we were reluctant to leave after a very relaxing weekend. The waterfall option at the pool was great too to silence any noise coming from nearby homes (Palm Springs was a popular venue for the long weekend).
This is a great family property in one of the iconic neighborhoods of Palm Springs. Our group consisted of six adults and two children - five and four months. First, this is a wonderful neighborhood. Very quiet, even with new construction going on a few doors down. The walking here is fantastic if you enjoy seeing all the homes of former celebrities. Most of them lived here. This quiet cul de sac is nestled under the mountains. Exceptional views. It's the best neighborhood we've ever stayed in.
The house is spacious and well furnished. We all fit very well with lots of room to be together. The casita is very nice as well. The beds and linens were top notch, and an added plus was how quiet the bedrooms were. No one had any issues sleeping.
The kitchen was very well appointed with everything you could need.
The backyard and pool area was nice as well. The gas bbq is amazing - very high end - and it made for some excellent grilling. Our week, unfortunately was cool, but the owners keep the pool and spa nice and warm, so we could use them regardless of the weather.
There were some small touches that were nice - plenty of paper towels (sometimes you only get on roll), tissues in every bathroom and lots and lots of towels for both the baths and pool.
Property management was highly attentive. When we arrived we had issues with the hot water. They were immediately on it and had the issue resolved that day.
We had a wonderful time.

My family and I had great stay. The heated pool was great!
The location is ideal for taking a morning walk through the neighborhood, spending the day floating in the pool while looking at the mountain backdrop, and eating meals around a well designed table. Highly recommend for a long girls' weekend.
Very nice home in a fantastic neighborhood. Great layout and outdoor spaces. Casita is a nice feature too. Also short drive to great restaurants and commercial. Really smooth process and would highly recommend Altamira.
The house is exactly as listed. It had everything we could need and was super clean and well appointed. The pool and backyard were awesome, and where we spent most of our time when we were home!
This is our second time staying at this property, and once again we had a wonderful stay! The location is perfect, and only about a mile walk to downtown…and Starbucks! The pool was very clean and heated to the perfect temperature. The casita allowed our multi families plenty of privacy and comfort. We love this house and will stay here again when we visit Palm Springs.
This is a wonderful home with a beautiful pool and hot tub. Property looks exactly as pictured. Great location that is close to the airport and downtown. Property management provided excellent customer service and communication!
The house was exactly as described., fully equipped and a lovely space.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Palm Springs and at the house. The house was clean and lovely and had pretty much everything we needed. Altamira was really responsive to the few questions that arose. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back to the house.or to recommend it.
So much space in this lovely home! The pool was perfect, the home comfortable, the beds very very comfortable, with everything we needed. We loved walking in this neighborhood, and it was close to downtown Palm Springs which was fabulous. The home had plenty of dishes, towels, and amenities to make it very easy for us!
