A PART OF PALM SPRINGS HISTORY
This classic Palm Springs pool home was built by the iconic Alexander Construction Company in 1960. It has been lovingly restored to celebrate its midcentury roots while elevating the comfort level for today’s traveler. Original design elements like the post-and-beam ceilings, flat roofline, and open-concept floor plan remain — now enhanced with high-speed internet, updated heating and cooling, and four flat-screen TVs.

A beautifully preserved piece of architectural history, thoughtfully updated for modern living — delivering that nostalgic-meets-next-century Palm Springs experience guests love.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
Step into pure Palm Springs outdoor living. The yard is private, spacious, and oriented around stunning mountain views. Lounge by the kidney-shaped pool, relax in the spa, freshen up in the outdoor shower, or enjoy cocktails at the outdoor bar with its own fire feature. Alfresco dining, BBQ grilling, and a separate firepit lounge make it easy to spend your entire day outside, soaking in the desert sun and the glow of star-filled evenings.

** 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
Inside, this designer home is bright, open, and filled with cheerful midcentury energy. Vaulted ceilings and walls of glass invite in natural light and create a seamless indoor–outdoor flow. Pops of color, curated artwork, and playful decor make the home feel fun and uplifting — a perfect backdrop for photos and group gatherings. The well-stocked kitchen opens to the living and dining areas, making it easy to cook, entertain, or unwind together after a day in the sun.

** 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. **

Each bedroom feels like a boutique hotel retreat, complete with comfortable mattresses, smart TVs, ample storage, and access to a private courtyard. The Primary Suite features a king bed, ensuite bath, and direct pool access for the ultimate morning swim or evening soak.

A great place to stay! We were able to accommodate 6 nicely. Enjoyed the backyard a lot. Hot tube was nice for our March visit. Downtown restaurants and events were less than 3 miles away!

We had a wonderful stay. The place looked exactly like the photos, spacious, clean, and fun. The check in was easy with concierge meeting us at the property and walking us through house instructions and showing us how the jacuzzi, grill, and outdoor fire pit worked. We would definitely come back!

We had a great time at the Bubble Gum house! The spacious backyard with the pool, hot tub and multiple seating areas was PERFECT. The kitchen was well stocked and there was coffee (coffee pot has a reusable filter) and tea. We did get a bit warm during the evening since the air does not go below 74, but it was not unbearable. The neighborhood is the perfect mix of mid century modern houses and Steve McQueen’s home was one block over. Such a fun time and we recommend doing the Aerial tram, Joshua Tree NP, and eating at High Moon for brunch.

The Bubble Gum Modern was amazing! The hosts really thought of every detail. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary utensils and cookware. The rooms were nice and clean! We were able to wash out clothes and didn’t have to buy any detergent. There were plenty of pods provided for us. The backyard was so beautiful and access to the BBQ was so convenient. I would definitely recommend! 10 stars!!

This is my second time using ACME House Company's listing, and have not been disappointed! From the moment we stepped foot in the accommodation, we felt right at home. The decor and the funky colours elevated the room and the surroundings. The manicured lawns and garden had us feeling like we were in a dessert oasis. The place had everything we needed and the beds were comfy. Our experience would have only been elevated if there was adequate downlighting throughout the home. Other than that, everything was perfect! Highly recommended for any small family, and will be using ACME again in future!

We had the best time hanging out at this house! So much so that my kids didn’t want to leave to do anything else. The backyard is a dream and the pool/hot tub were perfect. Loved the lighting at night so we could continue to use the outdoor space after dark.

Love The Bubble Gum House

We loved our stay at the Bubble Gum House. The outdoor space is amazing, great pool and hot tub, with beautiful landscaping. Super peaceful and wonderful view of the mountains. Indoor space is so sweet. Beds are comfortable, great to have the washer and dryer, and kitchen was stocked with lots of spices and a bag of yummy coffee. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful time

We had a wonderful time at ACME’s Bubblegum Modern house in Palm Springs. The description of the house and amenities in the listing is very accurate. A wonderful pool/hot tub and two fire features all were enjoyable. The location of the house is minutes from downtown and the neighborhood is very quiet. The front and back yard landscaping is truly dramatic and very well thought out. I definitely recommend this property and thoroughly enjoyed the professionalism of the ACME staff.

This was a great place for our family

5 of 5

This was a great place for our family (with two young kids who love to swim), and close to downtown Palm Springs. We paid for the heated pool, which was definitely the way to go given that temps were in the 70's-80's. It could have been even warmer, but there's no feature to adjust the temperature. Would stay again.

Great home for a girls' weekend

Great home for a girls weekend. Very quiet and relaxing. Just enough room for 4 of us. Outdoor space was lovely and had everything we needed. Everything was just as pictured and descriptions were accurate. They provided coffee which was much appreciated. I had a question about the pool and they were fast to respond. Would recommend this home.
