At the center of the house, you'll find a gorgeous courtyard with a large pool surrounded by chaise lounges, alfresco dining, an outdoor living area with a daybed and a fireplace, and plenty of occasional seating. To the side of the house, you’ll find a spa, a built-in BBQ grill, a ping pong table, and an outdoor shower. INTERIOR LIVING SPACE As you walk into the front doors, you’ll step into a foyer with a staircase that will lead you up to the main living area. The living area - which features comfortable seating and a flatscreen TV - is open to the dining area and the fabulous kitchen. Walls of glass throughout the living area let the light pour in and open up to reveal the fabulous center courtyard. Optional Pool heating is $75/night. The Pool will be heated to 86 degrees, if you would like it warmer there will be an additional cost. SLEEPING QUARTERS All bedrooms have been beautifully styled like a boutique hotel and feature a hotel-quality mattress. The Primary Bedroom, off the living room, features a King bed, an ensuite bath with a separate shower and soaking tub, and direct access to the courtyard pool area. The Primary Bedroom is the only bedroom with direct access to the main living area in the house. The four Guest Rooms are spread out throughout the property, with external doors, not directly connected to the main living area. Two of the Guest Rooms are located next to the main front door - one is to the left and one is to the right. Both of these bedrooms have Queen beds, a flat-screen TV, and an ensuite bath. They also have their own external doors, they're not directly connected to the main living area.

DISCLAIMER The house is set up like a boutique hotel. There is only one bedroom off of the main living area. The rest of the bedrooms exit to the outside, this is not the ideal situation for children. Also, there is a large set of stairs going to the main living area with the kitchen, dining room, living room, and outdoor pool area. Anyone with mobility restrictions may find this a bit difficult. This is the perfect setup for those that like the ability to have some privacy and space from the other guests. LOCATION This property is tucked at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains in The Mesa neighborhood - just minutes from the world-famous Palm Canyon Drive. Casual eateries, fine dining, coffee spots, ice cream parlors, art galleries, and specialty boutiques are all just a stone's throw away.

The property was even more amazing in person than the pictures. The property managers were a dream to work with. Some warm and welcoming. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and there was so much room to spread out. Will definitely want to book this property again and again! Fantastic!

Great layout and perfect for entertainement. Tastefully decorated in an upscale neighberhood. BUT totally missed the marked on cleaness: two of the bathrooms had serious stains, so were two of the bedsheets. The laudry room was a mess with lint and spider webs. For the price paid and cleaning fee charged ahead of time, this was a total miss!!

Our multi-generation family of adult kids through grandparents very much enjoyed relaxing at the beautiful Villa Carmelita. Floating in the pool, watching football and cooking the turkey was a perfect way to blend vacation with a traditional Thanksgiving day. The layout of the house allowed us plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to spread out and take in the natural beauty surrounding us. We are so grateful for this lovely home away from home. Hope to be back and make this a new tradition!

Went all out to splurge for a 40th and Villa Carmelita did not disappoint. So many details and beautiful decor, and the misters and climate control let us enjoy a particularly hot weekend. Will absolutely be back.

If you're thinking about staying at Villa Carmelita, do not hesitate! This home is wonderful. Private, quiet, open concept with every amenity you could want in PS! I've never seen a kitchen so stocked in a rental before. The house was even more impressive than the pictures. The check-in/out was easy and the home overall was just so beautiful. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of towels (including pool towels), and the house is so big that it never felt crowded at all. There is a large refrigerator/freezer for ice cold drinks, lots of board games for family fun nights, large dining areas for everyone to gather plus covered parking and a private front gate. I would definitely return here...we didn't want to leave! Thank you for the lovely stay.

I can’t say enough nice things about this home and our experience. I planned a getaway for my partners 40th birthday and it took me quite a while to find the right home for this special occasion. The layout of home and the amenities it offers made for a perfectly relaxing and enjoyable time. The pool and pool area, the living spaces, kitchen and just about every element was perfect. This is a very secure property in a quiet neighborhood. With the exception of dinner out one night, we didn’t want or need to leave the property for three full days. Thank you Rick for warm welcome and speedy check-in. I would love to have a reason to come back to Palm Springs for another stay.

The house was perfect! Plenty to do in the area with restaurants and hiking. We did not need to venture far and preferred staying close to home because it was so beautiful.

This place is incredible. So lovely and well maintained. I loved that the location was super convenient to town (by car), <1mi to a great hiking trail and felt very private.

The house was even more impressive than the pictures. The check-in was smooth, the kitchen was well stocked, and the house was breathtaking. The beds were comfy, enough towels, and the house is so big that it never felt crowded at all. There is a jacuzzi, ping-pong table, and of course the big pool in the middle of the house. Jeremy was also kind throughout the whole rental. Don't think about it!

We had a fantastic experience at Villa Carmelita. Perfect blend of togetherness and privacy - pool area is spectacular - kitchen well appointed. Family enjoyed the misters on a hot day poolside. Quick 5 minute drive to downtown and to grocery store.The mattress in the master bedroom might need to be replaced -the sides collapse - and we are small people. Thanks again for a great Easter/Birthday celebration weekend

Mostly happy. Grill didn’t work but swift response by managers with new grill. Master bedroom mattress old and poor quality. Not expected at this level of home. Also , not expecting it to be a celebrity home, Rick said it was absolutely Sonny and Chers former home and next door was their form maids quarters. We passed this on to our guests and had to change stories later when we found out next door was White Gables owned by Clark Gable and Sonny and Chers is 4 blocks away. Why the deception?

Beautiful property - one of the best rentals I’ve stayed in. So many amenities and love the added history as a bonus! Would not recommend for small families due to the bedroom locations, but was perfect for 4 couples !
Highly recommend

This was a very last minute trip out to Palm Springs with friends and family whom we travel with, often! We hit the jackpot! The house was a dream! When we first walked into the foyer and up the stairs we were gobsmacked! We felt like movie stars. To say the kitchen was well stocked is an understatement. The kitchen had every utensil & appliance you could ever need. The living area was huge and very well appointed. Lots of comfy seating, large tv and what a view from the living room.
The pool was our hangout!! Warm & lovely especially after 18 holes!
The 4 main bedrooms were each a sanctuary. Oh so comfy beds, yummy soft sheets and each with its own bathroom.
The BBQ area got lots of use as well as the spa, again especially after a round of golf. I can't say enough about the communication between Jeremy and Rick. Always an immediate answer when messaging prior to and during our stay. We had a little plumbing issue and someone was there withing the hour. Fixed! The property and the grounds were so well taken care of. Even the landscapers, pool guy & pest control were friendly and considerate! I cant say enough about this property ... as you can tell. We cant wait to come back to this special home away from home!!!

We had a fabulous vacation at Villa Carmelita. The property was beautiful and very clean. We loved the way the house wrapped around the pool courtyard and the privacy it provided. The window wall in the living room displayed beautiful views of the mountains. The beds were extremely comfortable and the sheets were incredibly soft. The property managers were very communicative and helpful. We will definitely return!
5.0
This house is awesome and perfect for staying with grown kids because 2 of the bedrooms are basically private casitas . The master and the other 2 bedrooms face the pool. We loved the hot tub and ping pong table. The kitchen is fully equipped and though we didn’t use it there is also a grill. We loved the Friendly service from Jeremy . Finally loved that palm
Springs is quiet ! By law.

The property was perfect in every way, lots of space for the 7 of us that stayed there. The two front suites were great for some privacy from the main pool area. We ordered most meals in since none of us wanted to leave the house. The views of the mountains are amazing. Beds are comfortable, and plenty of areas to relax and enjoy the stay. 1000% stay again.

The house was beautiful and better in person than in pictures. But more importantly, the care and service from the property managers was incredible. Any question was answered quickly and communication was amazing. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This home is located in a beautiful palm
Springs neighborhood just about a 5 min drive from downtown. Everything went smoothly and the property is just as gorgeous as advertised. Our hosts Jeremy and Rick made the entire process pain free and I’m so glad we chose this accommodation to celebrate the nuptial send off of one of my dearest friends!
Nothing about the house rules or requests by the owners was unreasonable (you know how some AirBBs/vrbos these days basically make you mop, vacuum, do laundry in the entire house, take care of their pets, mow their lawn, etc?) and I recommend any large-ish group of people to stay here. It’s not a place for those who want to “party hard” so if you’re like my group who wanted a more serene, peaceful, subdued getaway—this home is perfect.
5.0
At the center of the house there is a very nice size pool. For Palm Springs this is a basic requirement. Each room is nicely appointed. Everyone thought the beds were very comfortable—also key for a restful getaway. The the living room was spacious,, super comfortable and had a floor to ceiling window that show cased a beautiful fountain and lush landscape. The is a perfect property to gather with friends and family in a private setting. Beats having to elbow hotel guest for pool space. Definitely would like to visit again. P.S. like the Sonny and Cher pics throughout.
