Welcome to Play More in Sunmor, an iconic mid‑century modern Palm Springs vacation rental where architectural history, timeless design, and resort‑style living come together in one unforgettable retreat. Originally built in 1957 as a model home showcasing the emerging mid‑century aesthetic of architect William Krisel, this remarkable residence has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over the decades. Today, it stands as a living example of classic Southern California style - bright, breezy, and effortlessly sophisticated.

Set on nearly a half‑acre in the highly sought‑after Sunmor neighborhood - one of the most beautifully preserved mid‑century communities in Palm Springs - the home offers panoramic mountain views and a private resort setting all your own. Sunmor sits just minutes from restaurants, coffee shops, movie theaters, shopping, and the weekly farmers market. During Palm Springs Modernism Week, the neighborhood becomes a celebrated highlight of the city's architectural tours.

Designed to embrace the desert landscape, the home features seamless indoor‑outdoor living with floor‑to‑ceiling glass sliders along the entire south wall. Natural light pours into the open floor plan, where authentic Swedish modern furnishings, curated artwork, and mid‑century architectural details create a stylish yet welcoming environment. The living room's large sectional invites you to gather for streaming movies, conversation, or simply enjoying the company of friends and family.

The updated kitchen is a chef's delight, offering granite countertops, stainless‑steel appliances - including a gas range, large refrigerator, and dishwasher - and an array of high‑end countertop appliances such as a Nespresso, Vitamix, and Cuisinart. Fully stocked with cookware and serving essentials, it's easy to prepare anything from poolside snacks to gourmet meals. Enjoy your creations at the extendable dining table or take them outdoors to dine under the desert sky.

Step outside to your own private paradise. The sprawling, fully walled backyard features multiple seating areas, chaise lounges, a covered patio, and a sparkling 15‑by‑30‑foot saltwater pool with an attached spa that enjoys all‑day sun exposure. With no neighbors on three sides, the property offers extraordinary privacy and a peaceful setting for sunbathing, swimming, or simply soaking in the mountain views.
