A True Luxury Experience

5 of 5

Our stay at 3rd rock is one we will never forget! The home is absolutely immaculate. The high end, modern, simple, refined luxury home is nestled in a beautifully remote yet connected area of Palm Springs. Surrounded by nature, quiet and very private. The property truly had everything we needed and more, from the fully stocked kitchen, to the beautiful minimalist style and furnishings, to the steam shower, smart toilet, open flowing layout and so much more! This home truly has it all for your Palm Springs getaway or retreat. We give this place 5stars will absolutely be back again!

Our second stay :)

5 of 5

Our second stay at this Airbnb in Palm Springs was nothing short of fantastic. The property is even better than advertised, with plenty of space for our group and all the amenities we needed, including a beautiful pool and Jacuzzi which were perfect to refresh after a hot day. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, always available to help us with any questions or issues we had, and providing detailed instructions on how to use all the amenities. Their attentiveness and kindness really made a difference during our stay. The location was also great, close to all the best restaurants and attractions in the area. We highly recommend this rental and look forward to staying here again in the future."

The house is gorgeous and modern

5 of 5

This is our second time renting from Acme with their 3rd Rock property and had another amazing time. The house is gorgeous and modern with all the electronic gadgets that could be needed. The view is amazing of the mountains and the valley and this neighborhood is super quiet. I also enjoying the little touches, like being able to use the Peloton in the garage, starter toiletries if you happened to have forgotten something, and a concierge, who will meet you at the property upon arrival to walk you through the house and ensue you know how everything works. Overall, this is a super high-end, tech-forward and peaceful property in a super chill neighborhood that would be perfect for anyone wanting to fully relax and enjoy being perched up among gorgeous scenery.

Immaculate Stay

5 of 5

We had a great time at 3rd Rock. The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures (actually better). There was no shortage of amenities… We felt like we were at a Five Star Hotel. The neighborhood is very conveniently located within Palm Springs. We would definitely return! Thank you.

Amazing in every way

5 of 5

This house was designed by someone who cared about every detail and ensured that guests would be well taken care of. The views are unmatched in Palm Springs, with mountains on 3 sides along with a lovely view of the valley floor (including the windmills in the distance at night, which have blinking red lights at night that add to the show(. When you are floating in the pool, if you look at the wall of glass doors across the back of the house, you can see the mountains reflected in them - same thing when sitting at the massive kitchen island - the black backsplash reflects the pool and the mountains behind it. Come in the wide glass front door and you are treated to a beautiful view of the pool and mountains - look back through the door and you are treated to a view of the mountain behind the house. Master bedroom, with another set of sliding glass panels, provided another amazing view of the pool and mountains. The fire feature in the back yard called 3rd Rock (a version of the globe with fire inside it) added another nice touch. Overall, the views could have been enough for a 5 star review on this house while there is so much more. As this is a fully smart house, we were able to control almost everything from touchscreens and connected remotes in almost every room. Open/close the drapes, turn on the TV and change volume/channels, adjust the light color for the pool at night, lock and unlock the front door, turn on the misters, and so much more. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms...

Hidden Gem in the Desert

5 of 5

We arrived late from the U.K. with our two young children and we beyond taken aback at this hidden gem in the mountains of the Palm desert hills we had found. It is breathtaking in every way. After a long 26hour flight we arrived to the perfect family home where they have thought of absolutely everything. The design and layout is so ideal for a family or group so you are all together in a stunning open plan space! The house was bigger than the pictures projected and the setting is tranquil and peaceful. With stunning views. The kids were in awe with all the TEC designs in the home. Remote control beds, automatic toilets and doors / blinds. We love it and hope to return year after year!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 3rd Rock. Every amenity and detail goes way above and beyond any rental I have ever stayed in. Everyone was extremely comfortable, the pool was a blast to hangout by, and the home itself is stunning and filled with everything you need. I highly recommend this property to any and all groups looking for a fancy, luxurious getaway in Palm Springs.

This house was such a beautiful place to stay! The owner thought of everything. The design is amazing, the beds are comfortable, the electronic features made it really luxurious, and it's the best stocked kitchen in terms of utensils so we had a great time cooking. The master bedroom with the corner slider was our favorite part, we loved having them all the way open at night once the sun went down. We can't wait to stay here again!

Beautiful Home.

4 of 5

The house is beautiful. There is no doubt about that. It’s well appointed and everything works well and is new. Acme has it all figured out and their service is great as always. There are two bikes to use and also a Peleton. So, bring your shoes! The only thing is, if you require privacy or like an oassis kind of feel this might not be for you. The backyard has multiple homes that can see in. A bit like a fishbowl. The neighbour to the left albeit friendly looks into yard constantly and smokes. He has a deck that looks into backyard and a deck that looks into the TV room. We kept the blackout shades down at all times in that room. The front door is all glass so people waking by can look into house as well. You are not allowed to use that door which was awkward with groceries and food deliveries. I feel people renting should know these details about the house. Beds are very firm. Some may like, some may not. As for Acme, their service is impeccable. I lost a piece of jewelry and Tod was amazing with helping me after check out. They are the best in PS for sure.

Paradise

5 of 5

We were excited to stay at 3rd Rock, based on the online photos, but when we walked in for the first time, we had a collective sigh of "ahhhh". The home is beautifully appointed, clean and organized, with a lovely logical open floor plan. The decor is classy and simple (not at all like some other rentals that overdo the Palm Springs bright color vibe). The pool and spa were heaven sent for us and we look forward to another visit to Paradise. Acme was attentive to our needs and genuinely cared about our experience. Thank you!

Group trip

5 of 5

Our stay at 3rd Rock was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the Araby Cove area of Palm Springs, we were surrounded by nature and the peace and quiet of the beautiful neighborhood, whilst only being a short drive from the downtown area. The house is perfectly designed for relaxation and socialization whilst giving you that touch of Palm Springs architecture you crave when visiting. We spent hours cooking in the impeccable kitchen, swimming in the huge pool and unwinding in the jacuzzi. The owners have gone the extra mile by making sure there is everything we could possibly need for our stay, from every essential piece of cooking equipment you can think of, to workout equipment, to pool floaties. We really were able to shed the stress of New York City and unwind for the week. Most definitely will be staying again.

BETTER THAN THE PICTURES!

This home is beyond stunning - my wife and I could not have enjoyed ourselves more. Close to town, stunning day & evening views, walls open to the pool/spa area, kitchen to die for, and it is Palm Springs! FYI - do the PS Gondola ride to the top of mountain for a terrific experience (round gondola floor rotates 360 degrees while ascending) and enjoy lunch at the lodge. Perfect getaway! Wish we could have stayed for a month.
