City ID #002406. Experience Iconic Palm Springs Living at this architecturally significant mid-century modern home, originally designed by famed California architects Palmer & Krisel and developer Robert Alexander. Fully renovated for today’s comfort while preserving its original charm, the home sits in Palm Springs’ celebrated Racquet Club Estates neighborhood, once home to the legendary Racquet Club Resort.

Timeless Mid-Century Design
The house showcases the hallmarks of desert modernism with an open floor plan, soaring vaulted ceilings beneath the iconic “butterfly” roofline, exposed tongue-and-groove beams, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass walls that flood the interiors with natural light. Every space has been thoughtfully updated to highlight these striking features while adding modern comforts.

Stylish Indoor Living
The open-concept kitchen is a chef’s delight, equipped with stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, Keurig, traditional and Nespresso coffee brewers, and all the essentials for cooking and entertaining. The living and dining areas offer direct mountain and garden views, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow through expansive glass walls.

The master suite is a true retreat, featuring a cozy gas fireplace, wall-mounted smart TV, private patio, and a luxurious en suite bath with dual vanities and an oversized step-down glass-tile shower. A walk-in closet with abundant custom storage makes it ideal for longer stays.

Furnishings throughout the home are inspired by mid-century design icons, including a curved low-back sofa, a Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chair, and raised platform beds with luxury mattresses and hotel-quality linens.

Outdoor Paradise
Designed for relaxation and entertaining, the desirable west-facing backyard offers sun all day and sweeping mountain views. Take a dip in the large Pebble-Tec® pool with gentle step-down access, lounge beneath swaying palms on adjustable chaises, or unwind in the spa with therapeutic jets.

A detached cabana extends the living space outdoors, complete with a natural gas BBQ grill, cooktop burner, prep sink, and a lighted dining area for alfresco meals. After dinner, gather in the outdoor sofas, mix a retro cocktail, and enjoy the fire pit under the stars.

As night falls, professional resort-style lighting transforms the backyard into a desert oasis, illuminating the palms and pool for a magical evening setting.

    This house is amazing! Everything was beautiful- inside and out. It was one of the cleanest, well kept houses we’ve stayed at. The landscaping was pristine. The owners were awesome to work with; They are super invested in their property. The location was good- about 8 mins from all the restaurants and shops. Highly recommend this place!

    Michael and Scott were such welcoming hosts and perfectly communicative. The house itself was immaculately clean and full of amenities like pool floats, coffee grounds and pods and some snacks and bottled water to enjoy on our travel day. We all slept great on very clean and comfortable beds in peaceful bedrooms. The backyard felt like our own private oasis. We loved all the recommendations for activities and restaurants provided by Michael and Scott. The location was great for us with a short drive to downtown Palm Springs and the airport. It is tucked in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Thanks for the amazing stay - we hope to be back soon!

    Absolutely WONDERFUL! My family cannot wait to come back. The house lives up to the pictures and the communication from the Owners was top notch. The best I’ve ever experienced. My wife fell in love with the home and officially has a new “happy place”

    From the day we booked Michael was in communication and made all aspects easy! From driving directions to house access to detailed written instructions for all appliances, everything was right at our finger tips-including treats and a toy for the dog. The house is super cute and so clean, stocked with items we needed and unbelievably organized. Outdoor area was fantastic and also clean and organized. Michael always responded very quickly to all communication. We felt like invited guests!!!

    Absolutely outstanding experience! The home was in perfect condition—immaculately clean, beautifully designed, and clearly cared for with incredible attention to detail. The owners/hosts were exceptionally responsive and thoughtful, anticipating everything we could possibly need. The backyard felt like a private resort: peaceful, secluded, and the perfect place to relax. Truly a 10 out of 10 stay. When we return to Palm Springs, there’s no question—this will be our first choice.

    From the pictures you can see that this is a beautiful vacation property but we can tell you that in actuality it is even better than the pictures. In addition, here are a few pieces of info that you might find helpful. First, the location is great, close to downtown but not too close, a very quiet and peaceful location. Second, it is a beautiful home with a fantastic yard and pool, every bit as good as the pictures if not better. Third, the owners are very organized. I doubt there will be anything you might expect that has not been thought of and supplied. Fourth, we especially enjoyed the spacious, well equipped home (TV, Cable, Internet) as well as the pool and spa which we used every day. Fifth, the proximity to restaurants and interesting activities was terrific. And finally, the owners were helpful and gracious. You won't be disappointed.

    Highly, highly recommend this property in Palm Springs. Very cool home and extremely clean, with excellent and highly communicative hosts. Location is excellent and an easy drive into downtown Palm Springs and to hiking trails. Pool is top notch and was perfect for our two kids (well stocked with pool toys and rafts for floating). Additionally, there is a nice park walking distance away, which was perfect.The house was well stocked, too, with toiletries and several key food items (e.g. olive oil, water, pancake mix, etc.). It had pretty much everything you needed.Hosts were amazing and incredibly easy to work with. They supplied a nice list of recommendations for the area, which made trip planning a breeze.Can't recommend this one enough.

    Our family had such a great time, the hosts were amazing and made sure everything was taken care of. The backyard was perfect for our family to hang out and soak up the sun. The pool was always the perfect temperature! Location was great and everything was within 20 min. We look forward to staying here again!

    This is our second visit to the Desert Holly House. We love the property. The mid-century modern architecture of the home and its careful decoration is great. The pool and outdoor areas were fantastic for our family of 3 to enjoy the beautiful views of the mountains and the sunny weather during Thanksgiving! Michael is a great communicator, and we had another great time at this place. It is starting to feel like a home away from home. I was so relaxed the whole week we were there, and the home is perfect. Goes above and beyond. Location is also great: Is also just north of the town on a dead-end street of other mid-century homes, so the house is pretty quiet when we were in the backyard or inside, but also just a few blocks and we were able to enjoy all the restaurants and hubbub PS has to offer.

    Our family had an absolutely wonderful time at this house! It was beautiful, very clean, well stocked and the hosts were very informative before we came, answered any questions we had and were available if we needed anything. The pool was a huge hit with the kids! I can’t say enough good things about the house. I highly recommend staying here!
