Vista del Monte (View of the Mountain) is a totally private, walled and gated authentic 1940's Spanish hacienda home.

The home has been published and appeared in the book PALM SPRINGS LIVING. It was restored by San Francisco-based designers' Candra Scott and Anderson. The firm specializes in the restoration of landmark hotels and properties throughout the world.

The property has been totally renovated to its original pristine state andhas been fully updated to include all modern conveniences while preserving the period aesthetics. The newest addition to the property is a completely remodeled saline pool. This attention to detail is rarely found in a rental property.

The home offers an open living plan with easy access to the expansive backyard with a covered patio, large pool, built-in Jenn-Air BBQ all set within a picturesque backdrop of mountain views, accented by the glowing lights of the PS Aerial Tramway.

The living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a French door leading to the covered patio, pool, and backyard. The large screen 48 Smart TV equipped with Roku, Hulu, free Netflix and Amazon Prime. If you prefer to get back to basics, you can enjoy our book library and a vast array of board games.

The open dining room has views to the front courtyard water fountain, living room fireplace and beyond to the backyard pool.

The fully equipped kitchen is complete with modern appliances as well as all amenities necessary for cooking and entertaining.

The home's floor plan has two separate bedroom wings and is bridged by the living room and dining room.

From the master suite, allow yourself to gaze out to the spectacular mountain and pool views. The pillow-top California king bed, luxury linens, 32 flat-screen TV and full en suite bathroom. To increase your comfort, bathrobes and throws are located in each bedroom closet. The en suite master bathroom includes a glass-enclosed shower and bathtub, where you will enjoy our complimentary Molton Brown bath products.

Let the queen bedroom welcome you with a pillow-top bed, luxury linens, robes and a flat-screen TV. Just outside your patio door, you will be enchanted by the tranquil splashing of the water fountain as it entices you to the cactus garden. Our collection is consistently expanding, and we currently showcase over 80 specimens collected from around the world. You just may be lucky enough to witness to one of nature's rare wonders; a cactus flower from one of our many varieties. There are two French doors that lead to the backyard and private patio, which is just steps away from the pool.

The second bathroom, adjacent to the queen bedroom features a beautifully designed glass enclosed tile shower with complimentary Molton Brown bath products and a luxurious rain-head faucet.

The light and airy twin bedroom features two twin beds and is perfectly suited for both children and adults.

Enjoy the spectacular sunsets while sitting under the grapevine-lined arbors, grilling on the large Jenn-Air built-in BBQ, floating in the pool or relaxing with a refreshing drink. The citrus orchard containing orange, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon and limes provides our guests with fresh seasonal fruit. The covered patio contains a sofa, chairs and a table for intimate outdoor dining. There is an additional umbrella-covered dining table for larger groups. There are numerous cushioned chairs and chaise lounges for relaxing in the sun.

    The property is very clean and has great amenities such as luxury towels, sheets and a well stocked kitchen. The backyard is an oasis with a spacious pool, multiple sunning areas, and even a bocce ball court! Brandon is an incredibly thoughtful and responsive host.

    The house is impeccably kept. Comfy beds and luxury towels and products. Not your traditional mid-century Palm Springs house, but a restored Spanish traditional. The big draw is the bocce ball court and the ample space to lounge in the back yard. Lovely! To heat the pool is an additional 85 dollars a day and renters should pay attention before booking.

    This was by far the nicest rental we've ever had the pleasure of staying at. The place was immaculately clean, well appointed, and extremely comfortable. The beautiful decor in this place is transportive, you feel like you are staying in a historic home! From the art to the furniture, the light fixtures and wood ceiling trim, every detail oozes charm. The wrap-around outdoor space is absolutely magical, with a large clean pool, Spanish style water fountains and beautiful gardens all against the backdrop of the San Jacinto mountains. The outdoor lights add to the vibe, and everything is on a timer and easy to use. My 6-year old daughter loved exploring the orchard in back, as well as the worldly cactus garden. I could go on an on, but in short: book this place! And if you do so, take good care of this special place.

    This is a hidden gem with wonderful character. You'll see and feel it the moment you set foot on the property. The reviews are spot on (5 Stars), the property owner and manager are excellent. Our stay could not have been better, we're already looking forward to our return!
