The Sunmor neighborhood has the highest concentration of Alexander and other architecturally significant midcentury modern homes built between 1955 and 1961. The original developer, Robert "Bob" Higgins, built the first 11 homes; all designed by the iconic Palm Springs architecture team of Donald Wexler & Richard Harrison. Live More! was one of those homes built in 1955.
This 3 bed, 2 bath home is the perfect getaway for family or friends. Thoughtfully renovated and beautifully furnished, the house features a modern open floor plan, gleaming porcelain floors, original open-beam and tongue and groove ceiling and a smart update for today – the kitchen open to the large living space. Two separate seating areas give you plenty of space to relax looking out the wall of glass to the pool or enjoying what’s on the 50” Smart TV. The dining area features a modern table that seats 8.
The kitchen includes quartz countertops, white lacquer cabinetry and serviced by stainless steel appliances. There is also a breakfast bar with counter seating – perfect for keeping the cook company or working on your laptop should you need to check in with the office.
The fenced and private desert landscaped yard has stunning mountain views. The 14’ x 28’ pool has all-day long sun exposure and the spa sits above the pool with spillover waterfall and great views of the San Jacinto mountains. And in season, you’ll enjoy an abundance of citrus to make the perfect cocktail.
The spacious primary bedroom has a king-sized bed and 50" smart TV. There is a large ensuite with dual sinks, large walk-in shower with 10” rain shower head and clerestory window that allows for palm tree views and tons of natural light. This bedroom also has a walk-in closet.
Across the hall you’ll find two guest bedrooms. The first has a queen bed, large closet and a 40” TV. The second guest bedroom has two standard twin beds, a large closet and 32” TV. Both bedrooms have sliding glass door access to the pool. The bedrooms share a large guest bathroom with a wide double sink vanity and frameless-glass step-in shower.
Live More! is in a beautiful midcentury neighborhood, a great central Palm Springs location, and just a few minutes’ drive to shopping, golf courses and downtown.

Descriptions of this house are accurate, and the management company is excellent.
Probably my favorite tiny neighborhood of mid century places in Palm Springs. Easy to get to everything. Pool is great, hot tub is great. Yard is huge. The interior is perfect, wish my house was decorated as thoughtfully and as nice! The rule of thumb for a VRBO: I would I live there and Yes I would!
Kind of a classic, midcentury modern house in an appealing neighborhood with lots of them. Photos are accurate and the management agents were always helpful. We liked the house and the neighborhood a lot.
Thoroughly enjoyed the stay with awesome pool and clean and spacious rooms. Great location - would stay again
Between the airport and downtown. Short bike ride to downtown. Pool was nice and heated. Views of the mountains from the hot tub was great.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the first trip to Palm Springs for my husband and me, and this property rental did not disappoint.The photos depicted the property quite accurately, both inside and out (with the exception of the blooming hedges at the property line, which did not exist).Inside, everything was spotlessly clean and all of the furnishings were comfortable and in excellent condition. There were plenty of towels, linens, dishes and glassware, and the kitchen appliances were clean and worked as expected. There were interesting books throughout. The pool was wonderful - heated to a perfect temperature.The location was great, too. Although there wasn't much to walk to in the immediate vicinity, we were only an 8 minute drive from anywhere we wanted to go in town. And although I had been somewhat concerned about being so close to the airport, air traffic noise was not a problem. Just a couple of nit-picky things. There's no hand railing on the steep steps going into the pool. For most people that wouldn't be a problem, but being in my mid-70's and having had two knees and a hip replaced, I would have felt much safer with a railing to hold on to. Also, the gravel between the concrete pool surround and the concrete slab where the lounge chairs are situated would have been better covered with astroturf, similar to the stretch of turf between the seating patio and the pool. Like I said -- these are nit-picky things, but maybe the owners would like to know how they might improve on an already wonderful property. I highly recommend Live More! for anyone planning a stay in Palm Springs!
Altamira property management could not have been better. They accommodated all of our needs and we’re unbelievably responsive. The house was perfect for our family and was located close enough to be convenient while enjoying privacy. This will be our go to home in Palm Springs as long as Altamira manages.
Great property - Loved the decor with nice touches inside. Pictures accurately represented this home. Had everything we needed for a nice stay. Close to the airport which was a plus for us. Would definatly stay again
The house and pool was a great place to relax. I do have a couple suggestions. I would like a more comfortable couch. The couch looks nice in the TV area, but would like one more comfortable. Would be nice to have a ping pong table in the garage or extend a patio cover. There seems to be plenty of room. I know it is easy for a person to spend other people's money, so these are just suggestions. We enjoyed the home.
