About this property
Casita: Mission-Style - Christmas week
Enjoy a relaxing Palm Springs get-away in a charming 1929 mission-style home conveniently located in the heart of town (Palm Canyon Dr adjacent).
This is a very special home built in 1929 (don't worry, there's excellent water pressure and all the amenities of a new home (pool, spa, air conditioning, dishwasher, microwave, W/D, etc.) It is built entirely of brick (which keeps it cooler than most modern homes) It is a great place to relax, and enjoy all of the beauty the desert has to offer!
We are available by phone if you have any issue during your stay, but you will have the whole house and master casita to yourself. There will be nobody else on the property. This is a very quiet neighborhood in the Warm Sands area of Palm Springs. It is very conveniently located (even walkable) in the south end of town (that means no crazy winds!) You will have access to the entire house. There is off street parking in the driveway, but not in the garage.
The main house has two bedrooms (queen beds) and one bath and the adjacent master casita (king bed) is a grande bedroom with a private bath. The kitchen is stocked well for people who like to cook e.g.: food processor, blender, toaster, full array of pots and pans, spices, condiments etc. And at times we feature an honor bar....have a drink - leave a drink. This is great after a long travel day! Uber! or walking being that we are so close to everything.

This was a fantastic house! It was the best stocked place we have ever stayed at and we have been staying at Vrbo for 10 years! The pool and hot tub were perfect. The location being close to downtown was so convenient too! We will definitely stay here again when we return to Palm Springs.
Rented for a girls trip. We loved the house. It had a lot of character. It fit four of us comfortably. The hosts were very responsive. The location was excellent. I would give this place 6stars if I could.
The owner communicated well with us. They responded quickly and answered all questions. The location was great. Walking distance to downtown. The only thing I would change was the tvs were only in the bedrooms.

Private paradise
We always enjoy our stays at the Casita! The home offers us privacy while accommodating room for guests. The indoor/outdoor flow of the layout offers cozy spaces for small groups, from coffee with a view in the morning sun, to fireside gatherings in the evening. Hot tub! Heated pool! Birds! Fresh grapefruit! This place has it all.

Stayed here with two friends for a long weekend. The property was exactly as described and the outdoor area was heavenly — the pool was warm, the hot tub was hot, it was lovely dipping between the two in February. Originally I was worried the location wouldn't feel walkable to the main drag, but it absolutely was... maybe 5 minutes tops. Extremely well-appointed, the comfiest beds ever, a perfect backyard, A location while still being quiet... we will definitely DEFINITELY be back. Can't recommend highly enough!
This property is absolutely fabulous! I have stayed here twice with different groups and each time it has been perfect. Close enough to walk to downtown if you are looking for activity & quiet can be found by staying at the property. The pool and backyard are gorgeous so we spent a lot of our time there. The house is well stocked with everything you need and more. Hosts/property managers are super attentive and friendly. I will be back again :-)
I liked some aspects of this property and not others.The decor of the house was a bit creepy, lots of phallic objects , skulls, devils and such.The backyard was very pleasant and surprisingly quiet though the pool water was murky.The location is good, a hot walk to town but a short ride.We had a toddler and the many steps in unexpected places were a challenge.Our contact with the manager was always prompt and helpful.
We celebrated my daughter’s birthday with friends from SoCa and Tx. It was easy to walk to downtown for fabulous dinners and a lil shopping. The house is just nice to sit around in/out to enjoy friends and family. We lived that it was decorated for the season!
This was a beautiful comfortable space to enjoy a weekend away. Our group especially enjoyed the pool/spa area. The location is very close to downtown restaurants and bars!
This was the perfect getaway for a girls weekend. So close to downtown and the airport made it easy to get around. Check in and out was seamless and the communication was great! Thank you so much for all your hospitality!
Love the property, had everything we needed walking distance to downtown, beautiful house we had an amazing time totally recommended and thank you Steven for been always available to answer my questions super host !!!
Adorable Spanish style home was a nice change from the typical Palm Springs mid-century vacation rental. Much more charm and individuality in this home than most others available. Landscaping is gorgeous and the pool was lovely. Inside is very comfortable and you will find everything you need for your stay. And the location is amazing - just a short 5-10 min walk to downtown and super close to Starbucks, Townie Bagels, and the Sunny Dunes antique district!
We stayed for 11 days with another golfing couple and were visited over a weekend by another couple (driving in from San Clemente). With all the great reviews we were hopeful. Delivered on all accounts. Walking distance to everything. Fits 6 people easy. Home is superb and they have literally thought of everything...even an honor bar to enjoy when you arrive. We used the hot tub spa every day. We chose not to heat the pool (January) because it was a great temp to cool off with a quick dip after getting all heated up in the wonderful spa. Lots of documentation to make your settling in easy. We had a couple of questions and the Property Manager Walt responded within minutes of texting. Early on, the owner Steve answered initial questions with speed and a very flexible, easy going style. They even accommodated an early check-in when one couple arrived early. This is an easy choice...we will stay again for sure at this Casita. A+
We traveled with three generations of family (ages 3 to mid-70’s) and two dogs. House was well appointed and comfortable. Property management was exceptional- let
us know the house was ready early, showed up within an hour to fix a small maintenance issue. House was fully stocked with pool floats, left behind sunscreen, and the honor bar, which made arrival day really easy.
First glimpse of this charming home did not disappoint! The space was perfect for our 3 generation family stay- spaces and beds were comfortable and the casita gave grandparents some additional privacy. The details and decor were delightful- quirky, fun, whimsical. The house provides everything you could want in a home- all the kitchen and bar details were phenomenal. We spent so much time in the backyard and pool- this was one of our favorite yard spaces and pools in all of our travels! Thank you, thank you for an unforgettable stay!!
This beautiful home is singularly the best VRBO or Airbnb experience we have had. The home was equipped so well that there wasn’t anything you could need. The setting is gorgeous, the grounds and pool are beautiful, and the house is decorated like a warm home.
House is ideally situated next to downtown Palm Springs with many restaurants, stores, a grocery store and pharmacy all within easy walking distance. Lovely private backyard with pool and hot tub in quiet neighborhood. Property manager available and helpful as needed.

Fantastic experience, the house is the place to stay if you visit Palm Springs
Everything but personal items supplied, even have an honor bar so that if you arrive after a long trip you don't even need to hit the grocery store right away.
Highly recommend this house, walk to downtown is extremely easy, all restaurants and shops within 10 minutes. Airport 5 minutes drive.
Can't praise the Owner Stephen and the property manager Walt enough for the simple and efficient booking and welcome.

Luxuriously private retreat. Convenient to all.
"Casita: Mission-Style" is a perfect place to hide away from it all or to be a base camp as you shop, party, or tour your way through Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. A completely private enclave lies beyond the front door. The owners have thought of absolutely everything you could need to make your stay comfortable. There are such unique, whimsical touches throughout the house and, to be frank, I love the fact that it is stylish without looking like the usual cookie cutter, mid-century styled flip that so many other rental properties in Palm Springs resemble. The convenience to downtown PS for shopping, restaurants, and nightlife is perfect - you can even walk to many places and avoid an Uber/Lyft bill. I would absolutely choose this property again the next time I'm vacationing in the Palm Springs area and highly recommend it whether you are planning something romantic or a family getaway.
