The classic Mid Century open style of this Alexander makes it a perfect entertaining space.

Rent from the owner- no hidden or very high "Host" fees that third party agencies will charge. You communicate directly with me and my local house manager. I love sharing my home with people coming to enjoy Palm Springs. We charge the rental rate, cleaning, and tax. The pool is heated at your option for an additional fee. We offer a 10 % discount on weekly stays and 15% discount on monthly stays (these are calculated automatically with your quote). Monthly stays are not subject to the City TOT tax, and we do not charge for utilities (other than pool heat at your option).

Vista Las Palmas is known as the "Beverley Hills of Palm Springs" Oscar nominee Jackie Cooper owned this home and neighbors included Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Dinah Shore (home now owned by Leonardo DiCaprio)!

The location is terrific, walking distance to downtown Palm Springs and the famous Palm Canyon Drive Strip. People are attracted to the neighborhood for the same attributes that made it popular originally. Vista Las Palmas is close to downtown -- 15 minutes by foot -- yet feels remote because it lacks streetlights and through traffic, has all utility lines buried, and is in the shadow of the San Jacinto Mountains.

Residents love gazing at the hills, which provide the neighborhood with an awesome backdrop. You wake up and see the mountains and your pool. Imagine back in the heyday when Jackie Cooper owned this house- Think that Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Frank Sinatra could have cavorted out by the pool... Peter Lawford's open-beamed home is in Vista Las Palmas- imagine Marilyn Monroe stopping by -- and so, people say, did Jack Kennedy.

Children must be supervised by an adult at all times. The property is on a regular maintenance schedule (pool and landscaping). We closely follow the City of Palm Springs Vacation Rental Ordinances. No Outdoor Music permitted, Max guests 8 (listed on rental agreement). 3 Cars allowed. Violation of rules will result in immediate eviction with no return of rental fees. The City of Palm Springs responds to complaints 24 hours a day and will issue you a $500 fine. Security cameras film front and side of property for safety of property and people. We employ a noise monitoring device made by noiseaware. https://noiseaware.io/

Perfect Palm Springs House
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this house. Very clean, well laid out and comfortable. The backyard is spectacular. We requested the pool heated and it was perfect. Loved the hot tub and that awesome fire pit! Strict noise rules meant we had a very peaceful stay which we appreciated. Beds are quite firm but comfortable, with nice linens. Having all king beds and plenty of bathrooms was also a plus. Seems guests are expected to check in personally with manager to learn how to work things in the house. It was difficult to find a time that worked so in the end we didn't do it, but it was very easy to figure everything out from the helpful notebook. Manager also wanted to do a walk through of the house when we checked out but we had to leave early and couldn't comply. Would be good to know that ahead of time so guests can work that into their schedule and make time for it. Communication was easy and prompt.

Amazing place!!
This property is absolutely wonderful. We have rented countless properties and this is by far the nicest! Very clean and well kept. Amazing views, gorgeous grounds and high end furniture and amenities. Small details like stocking paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pods, etc made it extra convenient. So much better than the cheap starter packs so many rentals offer. Margaret was absolutely lovely to deal with as was the house manager. They both were super responsive and helpful. We were met by the house manager as soon as we arrived in Palm Springs and were able to start enjoying the home right away! I would note its a very quiet area so noise could be an issue. We kept the music inside and didn't have any issues. Will absolutely recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Healy

Host profile image
I grew up in and Eichler in Northern California and love Mid Century Modern Architecture. Palm Spring has always had a strong pull for me and I enjoy coming down as much as possible.

Why they chose this property

Vista Las Palmas has a wonderful history and the best views in Palm Springs. When I found this house was in a sad state. It had been remodeled into a Spanish Style Adobe in the 80's and had sat partially demo'd for over a year before I bought it. It took the work of a talented architect to see the true Alexander bones underneath all the mess. I am proud to have brought her back to life- and still can't get over the Mountain Views.

What makes this property unique

This house isn't a rental- it's my dream home. I like to share it with others who will enjoy it as much as I do. The location is awesome too.
