About this house rental

Located in Cathedral City, this lovely house for $342 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. NO LONGER A SHORT TERM VACATION RENTAL. 30-day minimum as required by new Cathedral City regulations. Still one of the most expansive and dramatic views in the Coachella Valley. This home backs up to 15,000 acres of National Monument Land, (not another house in the view between the home and Mt. San Jacinto) and provides a totally pristine, serene, desert retreat experience. The private residence of a New York advertising executive, a complete renovation of the property was completed in August of 2011. The fixtures, the furnishings, and the amenities were chosen by the owner's architect for her personal use. Now the owner's work/travel schedule has made this a spectacular spot for the demanding vacationer or winter escapee. Indoor/Outdoor living at it's best. The 650-ft shaded lanai offers pleasant shelter from the sun during the day and it's recessed lighting and outdoor furniture make this second living/dining room, a spectacular place to watch the sunset over the snowcapped mountains. PLEASE NOTE: We honor all Riverside County rules for COVID mitigation. The Mamounia: master bedroom features doors that let out onto a private pocket garden and an ensuite bath whose glass wall shower was designed for two. Queen bed and Moroccan accents make this a bedroom where dreams do come true. The Standard: 1st Guest Bedroom with access to pool and mountain view. Queen bed and spacious mirrored closet, this room is also fully equipped with a complete pop-up office: desk, printer, scanner, fax, phone with free Canadian calling. The guest bath, directly across the hall, is a riot of white tile and Palm Springs accents. The Royalton Study. Furnished with DWR day bed. This room is a cool quiet sanctuary for reading, listening to music or streaming your content. Glass doors open directly on the pool and provide views of the mountains. Living Room/Dining Room/Kitchen: Forming a spacious open plan for living, these three rooms are furnished with: Moss, Morroso, Ingo Mauer, Sapien, Saarinen, Boerner and many interesting mid-century accent pieces. The all stainless steel kitchen features an Electrolux Professional Stove. There is a gas barbecue just outside the east kitchen door. Flat Screen mounted above the fireplace. The Pool: Redone in 2022, it is one of the old fashioned egg-shaped pools. It is deep enough (9.5' at the deep end) to keep it swimmable even in the hottest afternoons. Heated during the winter, it provides just enough length for lap/exercise. There is a 'Dinah Shore Shelf' for partially submerged sunbathing, easy-access steps for entry, and an attached spa/hot tub for soothing the muscles after a hike behind the home.

Great location midway between Palm Springs and Palm Desert. Loved that we could walk out the back gate to the hiking trails in the hills or a short drive to many other trails.. Beautiful scenery from back side of house. Very private, quiet neighborhood yet close to shopping for essentials. Owner very responsive to questions, great with communication. Would return.

Where to begin in describing our brilliant stay? Beginning with the home, the property couldn't have been more perfect. In need of a livable vacation home to blissfully settle in to over a number of months, this house had everything we needed to be nothing but happy, comfortable and having everything we could ever need. The location was ideal - not even 5 minutes to any of the key “life” stores you would need like Trader Joe's, Target, groceries, etc. but plenty of things like nail salons, good restaurants for both take-out and dine-in, downtown Palm Springs a quick 10 minutes and the furthest destination at most 20 minutes. Yet, the location of the house itself in the wonderful Cove neighborhood felt like the most private little oasis with the perfect balance of quiet serenity and the nicest of neighbors. For anyone with dogs or who likes to walk, the property backs right onto a trail with a gate out the back. My husband and I were so content walking out the back and allowing the dogs to meander and run without a care in the world. The outdoor space was perfect - the pool is amazing and there are a number of different seating areas, loungers, tables, umbrellas, chairs, you name it, that you never get bored of being out there. Even in summer, the shaded porch was a perfect place to plant with a book. And the views! As for the house, it was ideal for me and my husband and dogs. We never felt on top of each other, there is a lovely den where I happily spent my weekdays for the work from home job, and the perfectly stocked kitchen was a happy place for my husband who loves to cook. The furniture/decor is just what you need in a Coachella Valley holiday home – wonderfully comfortable yet brilliantly modern. Really, we cannot find a thing to complain or nit-pick. Although we were "living" here, I could see this also being the perfect spot for a family or group of friends looking for a great holiday. As for Susan, the host, she was unbelievable in her helpfulness, friendliness, communication, and ease of working with. Our interactions also always brought a smile to my face as she's just a great, genuine person, but she is also a great host in that she immediately responds, keeps you informed of anything, and provides great advice. Over our multiple month stay, nothing ever went wrong or needed to be fixed, but I have no doubt that if something had gone wrong, she would have dealt with it before we even had time to give it a second thought. The best!

My husband and I stayed for two months during the pandemic. We live in Minnesota and I'm so grateful we had the foresight to book this trip to escape the winter as we were both working from home anyway. Packing up the car and the dog to be snowbirds was something we never dreamed we'd be able to do before retirement. (Silver lining to COVID-19!) The house and its surroundings far exceeded our expectations. The beautiful photos don't do it justice. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient. The views from the painstakingly maintained front and back yards are gorgeous and tranquil. The mid-century modern house and furnishings are welcoming, open, and fully stocked with anything you could ever need. The kitchenware, towels, appliances, blankets -- everything, really -- were more than adequate. We enjoyed picking lemons/grapefruit and soaking in the beauty of the plants, birds, and mountains. The pool and spa are extraordinary, the latter being just what's needed after a day of hiking out the back door. Trails are as easy or challenging as you want them to be. What made our stay even more perfect was the host. Susan is an absolute treasure. Not only was she completely responsive to our every question or request, she never made us feel like we were a bother. She's thorough, funny, sincere, and went above and beyond to make sure we were thrilled with every aspect of our stay. Thank you, Susan, for being such an incredible host and human being. We will savor a lifetime of memories from our January/February 2021 visit to Palm Springs.

A wonderful retreat with everything you need to relax! My partner and I stayed for a month and enjoyed every moment. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and cookware, the bedrooms are comfy and quiet, and the backyard is delightful. Sunlight fills the house through the many windows. Susan was a wonderful host. We were sad to leave and highly recommend the property to others!

A wonderful stay at a lovely location for me and my three friends. Susan was a great communicator and we were very confident that she and the property manager took every precaution regarding COVID, our safety, and also provided amenities for our stay. Pool was great, full kitchen, and enough beds for us all. It was the perfect, mostly secluded escape during a time when we all could use a break. Thank you, Susan!
