Highlights include: The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, McCallum Theatre, Palm Spring Art Museum (Palm Desert Branch), Historical Society Museum, Sunnylands Center & Gardens, and the new Rancho Mirage Observatory. Important to Note This property is our second home, not just a rental property. It is unique and special; we were extremely fortunate to find a unit in this original condition. We welcome the opportunity to share its magic. We ask that you treat it as if it were your own home. Respectfulness and care go a long way! It is an original vintage unit, meaning, it has not been “remuddled” or altered in any way. If by chance, you are looking for a brand-new unit, we would respectfully suggest renting another unit. You will find Sandpiper to be a warm and welcoming community if you comply with all condominium rules and regulations. Also worth mentioning, because of Sandpiper’s exceptional central location and easy walking distance to El Paseo, there might be times of the year when there is street traffic and some street noise. We personally do not find this to be an issue, for us, a prime location and convenience are extremely important. It would be my pleasure to answer any questions regarding our home, availability or Palm Desert in general. Please use the "Contact via inbox" button, located under hosted by Carlos. Stays Less Than 28 days Due to the City of Palm Desert’s short-term rental ordinance, additional associated 12% taxes apply to stays in this unit of less than 28 days. By accepting our reservation terms, guests agree to be legally responsible compliance of all occupants and their guest with all applicable law, rules, and pertaining to the use and occupancy of the unit.

Great location near El Paseo. The unit was the perfect extension for housing extra family members over the holidays. We really enjoyed taking a break from family and hanging out there. Lovely setting. Another reviewed mentioned terrible noise. We could hear the traffic but it wasn't load enough to bother us at all.

Sandpiper is a great spot and Carlos unit was spotless. It is in original condition as Carlos told us but everything worked great and that added to the charm

We had a fabulous stay for two weeks in November. Home and grounds are beautiful. Friendly and welcoming neighbors. The home is "dated", but in this case that is an asset, as it adds to its mid-century charm. Check in went smooth, with Carlos receiving us in person.
There is some traffic noise from the adjacent road, but it did not bother us. Over the years we stayed in different Sandpiper units, and we have no qualms returning to this one.

Probably the best appointed kitchen we've stayed in. Very easy.
We could have used a bit more tp, and dishwashing soap but otherwise great.

We loved our place at the Sandpiper! What a great mid-century feeling that embraces the vibe of that philosophy: desert resort living in a simpler time. We will return!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here! I am in love with the authentic nature of this mid century modern! Carlos was an excellent host meeting us at check-in & explaining everything including the dove nest, with two hatchlings right outside the front door! Really great complex & home has beautiful outlook to the massive courtyard and pool area. Easy walk to El Paseo and entry points to hiking & biking trails. This reasonably priced getaway is just as presented online - there is some noise from the street on the east side which didn’t bother us as we spent our time on the west sunny side facing the courtyard. Owners & guests here were very friendly & helpful.

In the original listing I did not see about the historical
nature of the property and there fore when it said
handicap accessible I assumed it would be accessible
to a wheel chair the host and owner told me about the
grounds limitations but no mention of the place itself

The Sandpiper is the best. We loved this location, our patio view
Was beautiful with Sun, grass that is green and very well manicured. The landscaper does a great job.
We walked everywhere from our unit to El Paseo. The restaurants and shops are wonderful. Great place for a sunny vacation.

The complex is very nice, well maintained with a lovely pool area. The neighbours were all very friendly (most of them were owners) and suggested we join them around the pool for “happy hour “.
The location couldn’t be better, with shops, restaurants and bars just a ten minute walk away.

This is my third visit to Carlos and Cyndi's magical condo, and I can't wait to be back! The Sandpiper property itself is stunning and magical, and the condo is beautifully appointed with comfortable furniture and beds. The views from all windows are wonderful, and the saltwater pool and historical Ramada are so luxury. I celebrated my 50th birthday with my husband for this trip, and we really enjoyed the local restaurants in the area: Carlos always recommends the best local places! The drive into Palm Springs is easy, and getting an Uber is so responsive and efficient when we decide to go into PS for dinner and cocktails. This place is perfect for mid-century mod enthusiasts and also for people looking for a relaxing, serene place to have a vacation. Check-in was a breeze, and Carlos is always communicative and easy to reach if needed. This is really our happy place in the desert! Thank you Carlos and Cyndi for sharing your amazing second home!

My family and I stayed at Carlos’ place at the Sandpiper and could not recommend it more! It is very well maintained, clean, comfortable, stocked and in the perfect location for walking to shops, as well as restaurants. The host and property manager are very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. We often visit Palm Springs and this has by far been our favourite spot to stay. Additionally, check-in and check-out was super efficient. The property manager even took the time to show us around and get us acquainted. We look forward to staying here again in the future! Thanks for the wonderful stay.

The location of this property cannot be beat. So close to El Paseo, restaurants, hiking, biking, golf. We love being able to walk or ride our bikes everywhere. Close to the Wednesday farmer's market. The condo is very nicely decorated and stocked. It has many of the original elements from when it was first built and this adds to the charm. Master bed was very comfortable, having two patios so you can catch sun in the morning and afternoon is great as is having a full second fridge available. Owner and property manager where both very responsive to our questions. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Our condo was clean , well stocked and well equipped for our stay . We were met at check in … and communication was easy and efficient !
The traffic on 74 was a little noisy at times , but the views sitting outside are amazing ! The views of palm trees, mountains and greenery , can’t be beaten . Close proximity to El Paseo is great for a morning walk , coffee at Starbucks , or dinner !!
I would definitely recommend this property without hesitation and look forward to staying again soon !!

Carlos went the extra mile to accommodate a change in schedule due to the pandemic. Debbie was helpful and was kind enough to meet us after midnight to check in when our flight was delayed. The condo is clean and well-stocked, though there are some quirks associated with the vintage kitchen. We have stayed in the Sandpiper community before, and love the grounds and the way the units are situated.
Unfortunately, this unit is directly adjacent to a major highway and gets a tremendous amount of traffic noise at all hours - both while inside the unit and on the patio. The description of the unit downplays the traffic - but don't be fooled, it's a significant issue. It's a shame, because it spoiled an otherwise delightful stay.

An original mid-century experience with upgrades where needed most. Be prepared to embrace 1950s style. Wonderful original appliances but brand new W/D. Lovely, tremendous value and a perfect quiet retreat. Not for those looking for luxury. Walkable to El Paseo (Rodeo Drive of the Coachella Valley.) Best host and I look forward to returning!

Comfortable stay in Palm Desert
My daughter and I felt right at home when we walked in. Everything was super clean and well-equipped. The view is terrific and the birdsong is just what you’d want from a relaxation app, only it’s real! We had a lovely stay.

We loved our stay in this comfortable mid century condo. Everything you could possibly need was provided, and very nice furnishings, Wi-Fi and movie streaming. High quality bedding and linens, beautiful pool area and very friendly neighbors. Short walk to El Paseo, some traffic noise from HWY 74 but it did not affect the quality of our stay. Outstanding service and communication from the owner and manager. We will be back!
