For The Record - Palm Springs Mid-Century Oasis
Better than new Vacation Home Rental where it's all about relaxing in the sunshine. Bright, light, happy vibe that captures the true spirit of Palm Springs. Entire property has been renovated. Gorgeous designer art and furnishings. Fabulous pool yard that has been walled for privacy. Awesome fire feature. Beds: K, K, Q, Q
his classic Alexander home (circa 1958) has been lovingly restored - respecting its architectural pedigree while updating it for the way we live today. The open concept floor plan and original post and beam ceilings have been preserved while adding modern conveniences like well-appointed kitchen, deluxe body spray shower systems, high speed internet access, five flat screen televisions, updated heating and cooling, hi-style designer furnishings and art. The owners work in the LA Music Industry and enjoy the home for their own use - but are now sharing it as a vacation home rental on a limited basis. You'll love the cool music industry art that is displayed throughout the house.
OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES This property captures the magic of Southern California glamour. The mountain views are simply spectacular. The backyard itself is heavenly—so private, spacious, and well-planned. The Private pool yard has a brand new pool and spa, plus a brand new BBQ with a built-in bar, an amazing fire pit, and a covered outdoor dining pavilion, surrounded by chaise lounges and a green lawn area that's great for kids. ** 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 Gorgeous in its simplicity, as Mr. Alexander and his architects Palmer and Krisel intended, you'll find clean lines, an open concept floor plan and spectacular walls of glass that let the light pour in and reveal beautiful outdoor living spaces. The living room, dining area and kitchen are all open to each other - providing enough space for your entire group to gather, relax and enjoy. The new center island kitchen is stunning with stainless steel appliances including a gas stove. Perfect for group and individual meal prep. The mid mod-inspired furnishings give the place a retro chic look while being very comfortable at the same time.
SLEEPING QUARTERS All of the sleeping quarters feature comfortable hotel-quality mattresses, ample storage, and flat screen televisions. The master bedroom offers a king-sized bed, an en suite bath and a sitting area. The two Queen guest rooms share easy access to the spa-like hall bath. The separate king-sized casita (guest house) offers direct pool access, a wet bar with breakfast counter, a wine fridge plus a game table that doubles as a great work space for those who need to mix a little business with pleasure.
THE LOCATION This Mid Mod paradise rests on an oversized, corner lot at the entrance to a quiet residential cul-de-sac. A big plus is the unobstructed west mountain views and the fact that it's an easy stroll to the Saturday morning Farmers Market, and the Camelot Theater - our independent art house that hosts many of the famous Film Festivals throughout the year. For The Record is part of Palm Springs History in that it is located in the heart of one of our most significant Midcentury Neighborhoods. Sunmor Estates is a well-known central Palm Springs neighborhood comprised of a remarkably intact collection of mid-century homes built in the late 50s and early 1960s. Grocery stores, casual eateries, fine dining establishments and other neighborhood conveniences are all close by. Bustling Downtown, the Uptown Design District and the South Palm Springs Business District are all just a short drive away.

This is a wonderful house with enough space for 8. The pool and hot tub were so much fun, although be aware that you have to pay extra to have them heated during your stay! Centrally located in Palm Springs, but close enough to the airport that noise could be an issue for some. We did not notice any noise from inside the home during the nights. Would definitely love to stay here again!
What an amazing place. Lovely accommodation and great for our family. Plenty of space and the Mountain View was beautiful. We didn’t realize we had a “casita” until our second day but there is basically a studio attached to the house.
We had a lot of issues with the spa though. Even with several calls to the property management (they were super responsive) we still did not have a functioning spa.
Having never been to Palm Springs, we were not sure what to expect. The city and of course the accommodations exceeded our expectations. The house was clean, spacious and well stocked. The outside where we spent most of our time was incredible. The listing pics didn't show a hot tub or a beautiful outdoor cooking area. We were surprised and pleased to see both. Will definitely rent again!!!

We just spent 4 nights at the For the Record property with another family. We had 3 kids in the group, ages 5, 6, & 7. Everyone had a blast. The property itself was clean. The furniture a little worn. The kitchen was fully stocked, even with plenty of spices and a whole bottle of olive oil. Since not everyone in the group has been vaccinated, we tried to keep our distance and wear masks. The house was perfect for this situation since you can easily open up the sliding glass doors and windows to have air flowing freely in the common areas. The pool was perfect for little ones, given that half of it was shallow enough for them to stand with their heads above the water. There is a ping pong table in the front courtyard that can be enjoyed once the shade comes in the mid-afternoon. There are also a couple of board games provided and an expansive record collection. The casita worked well for a small family because there is a little dressing area (separated by doors) in between the bedroom and bathroom where kids could potentially sleep. The main house is difficult for 2 families to share because of the bathrooms & frosted glass doors. The master shower and hall shower share a frosted glass wall that still shows figures and actual body parts if pressed onto the glass (as tested by the kids). This frosted wall also allows light to enter the master bedroom when someone is using the hall bathroom. In fact, all the doors in the main house are frosted glass so keeping light contained to one room is difficult. If you like to sleep in the dark, you may want to bring some black trash bags and masking tape because a single lamp in the living room will shine through to the master bedroom. Overall though we had a great experience and would definitely consider renting this place again. Thank you to Acme House Company for a memorable time!

The quality of the house was OK the pool was not super nice but fine for kids. They had everything you need. Airplane noise can be an issue.
Great spot! Might run into some issues if 8 people are on zoom
I stayed here for a week with my small social bubble. All in all, a great property with a nice kitchen, cool outdoor area, and nice view. If you and your group plan to use video conferencing or streaming at the same time, be aware that you could get a slowdown.
My partner and I joined 3 other couples for a 5-day vacation at 721 Morsun Circ. The home was perfectly detailed for a group of this size. The home has been completely updated and the outside spaces (pool, dining, fire-pit and even ping pong table were perfectly situated for enjoyment. We cooked in each night and had wonderful meals on the outside dining table, great conversations around the fire pit, and of course pool time each day.
We (family of five with 8 year old twins and a curious 6 year old) had a great time. The pool was fantastic, as well as the great kitchen. The property manager contacted us about an issue with the refrigerator before we even got to the house, and when we got there a gift basket was waiting for us. The property manager was also quick to react when we couldn’t find the garbage bin.
All in all- a perfect place, located in a quiet neighborhood, beautifully modeled and decorated. Would absolutely recommend.
We just wrapped up a week-long stay at For the Record. It is a lovely house, stocked with everything we needed for a successful and relaxing vacation. It was clean, well-maintained, and had a beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. We appreciated the little "extras", like a turntable and album collection. We loved listening to great music as we played games during the heat of the day! Definitely added to our experience. After being "stuck at home" for three+ months during Covid, this was just what we needed to safely spread out and enjoy a change of scenery. Highly recommend!!

Our 3rd vacation rental in Palm Springs has been the best so far! This was our first rental with Acme, but it won’t be the last. We needed a replacement rental at almost the last minute when part of our group had to cancel their trip. I found this rental and a rep (Renee) actually called me to discuss. She was great! Really friendly and helpful. Acme provided all the info we needed before we arrived, and a concierge met us at the house as well! All info about the house was in a book inside as well. I called the “help” line about a minor issue and spoke to someone right away. She resolved our problem instantly. The house itself was exactly as advertised...very clean, very well stocked, and the view of the mountains was incredible! We will definitely try to book through Acme in the future!
Our family trip was amazing and a big part of that was our lodgings. The house was very lovely, well-stocked and right where we needed to be. The patio in the mornings/evenings was the favorite place to gather and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool. The only downside was the wifi, which needs tweaking.

Reviewer Comments:
I rented For the Record for a birthday trip amongst close friends. The property and amenities are impeccable, however, the instructions for the A/C were inaccurate causing it to freeze over the only full day we were in the house. We were miserable — my friends from LA drove home, my friends from NY ended up leaving the house it was so unbearable. For the amount we paid, that’s simply unacceptable. Needless to say, it was an awful birthday. ACME said they’re reimburse me for my troubles, but what they gave back was insufficient for the terrible experience we all had.
We absolutely loved the house and the property manager. However, one thing to note is that the house next door is under construction and has a temporary port-a-potty that is adjacent to the back fence. Because of this, there were multiple times swimming in the pool that we could not avoid the port-a-potty smell. Other than the port-a-potty smell in the backyard, we had a great stay.

We were celebrating a 50th birthday in Palm Springs and rented this amazing home. The house was spotless and beautiful. The management company had some soft music going and mood lighting on when we arrived. It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend the rental to anyone.

We had a really lovely stay... the property is as immaculate as it appears online. The management company was very communicative and made the check-in experience seamless. Definitely bookmarking this location for future visits to the Palm Springs area.

This was our 7th spring break trip to PS and our 3rd rental through Acme. We thoroughly enjoyed this house, the interior was updated, comfortable and with the casita tons of space for everyone (we were 4.) I booked the house not realizing there wasn’t a hot tub, I was just so use to all of rentals having one, so, that was a bit of a bummer, but completely my own oversight. As noted the interior is fantastic, however the grounds outside were not quite up to what we have experienced with other Acme rentals. Lots of weeds in the beds and just not the most effective use of the grounds overall (just less activities outside - basically it is the pool and a ping pong table - which was great!) if I was payin for this lawn service, I would definitely complain and have them step it up a bit. In addition to lots of weeds growing they didn’t move any of the furniture for mowing, so the grass was uneven and weird. The house was clean, but the outside was dirty - food on the chairs, under the chairs and all around the pool deck and in the grass (chips, Cheetos, Cheerios) looked like the party before us had a tribe of messy kids and it was a little gross with wet, soggy food bits around. This is just feedback for housekeeping & lawn service - i would definitely follow up with them as it was not up to Acmes standards.
