About the property

P.S City ID #002004 | Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age (Proof of age required)

This Palm Springs charmer in a prime location is 1,836 square feet of open, bright spaces, comfortable decor, and is updated inside and out. It’s situated on an oversized lot complete with mature fruit trees and walled for privacy. It features off-street covered parking and a 25-foot in-ground pool, a primary king suite plus a two-room guest suite that sleeps an additional 4 in a queen and 2 twin beds, each in their own room. Beds: K, Q+(T/T)

Couples or small families looking for a getaway where lounging by the pool is a priority will love this rental. It’s available for longer stays for those who truly need to get away from it all. It’s in a central location near downtown so whether on foot or by bike, exploring the area is effortless, and golfers will love its proximity to the links.

The reviews are in and overwhelmingly, past guests have loved how clean and well-maintained this house is. The pristine outdoor spaces and the remodeled interiors make an unforgettable backdrop for any Palm Springs adventure. Local lore even claims the 1930’s home was designed by Edwin B. Willis, the set designer for the classic film, The Wizard of Oz.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
Choose your own adventure in your private walled secret garden with emerald green lawns, arbors overflowing with Bougainvillea, citrus trees, and meandering stone paths. Live the California dream and soak up the sun in a lounge chair by the pool, or pick a shady spot and get lost in a good book. There’s a full outdoor covered dining and living area to make the most of the gorgeous year-round weather. Dine in the evening under the soft illumination of popcorn lights and head out to the firepit afterwards for some prime star-gazing. The covered patio offers a perfect breakfast spot with views of pristine landscaping.

** The pool will be heated upon request with an additional service fee. Please let us know if you'd like to heat the pool so we can ensure it is heated before your arrival. If you home has a spa or hot tub, heating the spa is included with your rental at no extra cost **

** Please Note: 1. This fee is not included in the quoted price on some booking platforms. 2. Pool heating may be added in minimum of 3 day blocks per request **

INDOOR LIVING SPACES
The open floor plan allows desert breezes to waft through the house and warm natural light to illuminate the space. Although the home has an overall modern feel, original architectural details remain and give the interior an unmistakable mid-century modern character. The furnishings are stylish, but comfortable and inviting. You’ll find the fully-stocked kitchen has everything you need to feed a crowd and features a suite of upscale stainless steel appliances. The stunning dining set seats 6-8 in a light-filled airy formal dining room. The separate den is a great space for reading, conversations by the fireplace over a glass of Chardonnay, or napping away the afternoon on the daybed.

** The term "Pets Allowed” or “Pets Accepted" at an ACME House Company vacation rental means that we welcome dogs only. No other pets are allowed. **

SLEEPING QUARTERS

The guest suite features two rooms with a set of elegant French doors separating them, one with a queen size bed and the other with 2 twin beds Both rooms are comfortable and stylish and have flat-screen TVs. This configuration makes a great option for parents with children, or just extra guests.

THE LOCATION
Beyond your sanctuary of peace and serenity lies the popular and walkable Movie Colony East neighborhood, once home to Hollywood’s most glamorous stars, now known for cozy eateries, palm trees, and green spaces galore. Ruth Hardy Park is a quick walk away and offers 22 acres of gardens, sports courts, picnic tables, and a playground. Wellness Park has an outdoor gym and meditation garden for a change of pace.

My friends and I rented this darling place for the weekend based on the photos and location. It actually looked BETTER in person than the photos, which really didn’t do this private oasis style yard justice. Pool is on the smaller side but the grounds were so well manicured and pretty that it really didn’t matter. The house felt much bigger than it is and we loved the kitchen/dining/living room so much. The main shared bath was also very large and comfortable to fit three ladies getting ready. The master suite was gloriously large! Also, the wine glasses were chefs kiss. Not the cheap goblet style but very fancy glasses. We loved how well stocked the kitchen was with every utensil and appliance/pans/bowls you could need. We fit four ladies cooking together in that kitchen and never felt on top of each other. Great flow! They even had fun party games to play. We had a lovely stay and would recommend this home 1,000% to anyone interested!

Hi Alexis — thanks for the great review. So glad the place looked even better in person and that you loved the private oasis yard and manicured grounds. Happy the pool size didn’t matter, and that the kitchen/dining/living flow worked for four of you cooking together. Glad the main bath and master felt roomy, and that you appreciated the nicer wine glasses, well-stocked kitchen, and the party games. Thanks for the 1,000% recommendation — we’d love to host you again.

The location of the home is excellent and is in walking distance to many restaurants and attractions. What we really enjoyed was the tranquility of the beautiful backyard. In the morning, hummingbirds and other birds visit the yard and its flowers. It's an incredible setting with many fruit trees and flowering bougainvillea. There are several areas to sit an enjoy the scenery, including a stunning mountain view. We were also appreciative of the well appointed kitchen!

This was a fabulous property for my sister and I to stay at with our senior Dad to spend a long weekend celebrating his birthday. It was located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood and felt very private. Instructions to enter the driveway gate and the house were clear and concise. It’s very close to downtown Palm Springs - less than a mile to excellent shops and restaurants. The home was nicely decorated and cozy making us feel at home right away. It was extremely clean and had absolutely anything and everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The backyard was our favorite part of the property. It was meticulously landscaped and there were multiple seating options available to relax and enjoy the incredible December weather. The palm trees and mountains provided a gorgeous backdrop. We truly felt like we were on vacation. I highly recommend this property and would 100% stay here again in the future.

This is our second time staying at this home. It is very close to a beautiful park and walkable to downtown where there are countless restaurants and shops. The home is beautiful, clean and very well stocked, including a well stocked kitchen, which I love. The pool is small, but perfect with lots of outdoor seating and a really incredibly beautiful backyard with lots of citrus trees. We enjoyed making fresh squeezed orange juice in the mornings. We look forward to coming back.

We had a great time at the Palm Springs Ruth Hardy Park Oasis house. The backyard is absolutely beautiful. The house was super clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and very clean as well. It is a little more on the pricey side, but it is a beautiful home in a beautiful location and we had a wonderful time.

Absolutely perfect stay for families! The main bedroom has a walk-in closet that’s big enough for a pack-and-play and has no windows - PERFECT for babies and toddlers! The second bedroom has the extra space with two twin beds - it’s roomy and comfortable. We were a family with a baby, grandparents, and an aunt and everyone had plenty of room to themselves. The backyard is STUNNING - gorgeous pool, mature fruit trees, and amazing views. The kitchen is will appointed with a generous dining table. And the location can’t be beat! In the heart of the Movie Colony - less than 5 minute walk to Ruth Hardy Park, and an easy walk to downtown and some of the best places on Palm Canyon Drive. Host was friendly and super responsive. We’ll be back for sure!!

Acme was a great host! When there was a last minute issue with the place we'd originally booked, they reached out, apologized and offered us comparable and even better options at no additional cost. The home is beautiful - great for two couples or a family with multiple (incredible!) outdoor spaces. There were clear check in instructions, the home was spotless and it has all the amenities you'd need - including a bottle of wine and a fully stocked coffee station. We'll definitely stay here again!

Excellent experience

5 of 5

Excellent experience. We had an issue with the Wi-Fi upon check in (host had changed the password for Wi-Fi but old password still in materials) and Acme sent a tech out immediately to get us squared away. Home was very clean, stylish and comfortable. Thoughtful amenities like coffee and tea service with sugar and creamer, plus basic spices, salt and pepper and oils—didn’t have to buy salt and pepper like we’ve had to do at other rentals. Grounds were well kept and attractive. Pool was clean and pool and lounge areas had a lot of comfortable lounge furniture and pillows. Fire pit was a welcome bonus on a cool evening. Heavenly aroma from home’s lemon and orange tree blossoms. Neighborhood is very walkable and close to a large park. It’s also walking distance to restaurants, bars and shops. A wonderful week —thank you to Acme and the owner.

If you're considering booking this property, just do it - you will not be disappointed. The home and property are just as beautiful as the pictures look and are filled with so many helpful "extras" that make the stay even more pleasant than expected. From the extremely well stocked coffee and tea bar, shampoo and body wash in every bathroom, board games for quiet nights at home and an extremely well stocked kitchen (including a juicer for fresh squeezed OJ and lemonade from the backyard citrus trees) this home has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The property is beautiful and the outdoor living spaces are absolutely gorgeous. It's a quick 5 minute drive to downtown, 10 minutes from the beautiful Tahquitz Canyon, 15 minutes from the airport and about an hour from Joshua Tree National Park. The property management company is extremely responsive and very helpful with any questions you may have. My only suggestion would be to add an outdoor heater for the winter months so more time can be spent outside when it's chilly. If we find ourselves in Palm Springs again we would book this home in a heartbeat!
