We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return! The backyard and pool were so relaxing and the indoor outdoor feel of the house and yard was unbeatable. House was also located in a wonderful area. One block from a great park with tennis courts and not too far from downtown. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful with the questions we had as we were getting situated in the house. Highly recommend!

Hi Julie — thanks for the great review. Glad you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and found the backyard, pool, and indoor-outdoor feel so relaxing. Happy the location worked well for you and that our team was responsive and helpful as you settled in. We’d love to host you again.

This home was gorgeous and just as described! Gives you the Palm Springs retro artsy feel with modern touches. Such an experience and really felt like a true Palm Springs getaway. Home was fully equipped with everything and super clean. This home is very well put together from the exterior to the interior. The architecture to landscaping was impeccable. So private and close to downtown Palm Springs and not too far from Palm Desert. Pool and Jacuzzi were the highlight. Everything was very easy to use and so accessible. Acme House Company was very responsive and helpful with my entire stay. I would highly recommend staying here and using Acme House Company. I would definitely stay at the Glass and Steel house again and can’t wait to browse more of Acme’s beautiful stays. Acme House Company truly helped make my 30th Birthday memorable.

Hi Alex, thank you for your feedback. We're glad Glass and Steel House delivered that retro-arts y Palm Springs vibe with modern touches and that the home was fully equipped, super clean, and thoughtfully put together inside and out. It’s great the architecture, landscaping, privacy, location, and especially the pool and Jacuzzi stood out — and that our team’s responsiveness helped make your 30th birthday memorable. We’d love to host you again.

Excellent!

If you're looking for a traditional Cape Cod house, this is it. The house is comfortable, with 4 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms. This is the second time staying at this property. The selling point for me is the dog friendly policy. We are familiar with the neighborhood, with family living in the neighborhood for decades. Town Neck Beach had a spectacular makeover, and our walk there is minutes away. This was a fantastic vacation and I hope to stay here again next year. Thank you.

Glass and Steel House- Ruth Hardy Park

4 of 5

The house is located a block east of Ruth Hardy Park with amazing views of the San Jacinto Mountains. The neighborhood is quiet and a pleasant walk to North Palm Canyon Drive. The landscaping on the property is beautiful, with tall grasses and cacti, citrus trees, and ficus hedging for privacy. The property is well-lit at night. There are plenty of chaise lounges and chairs and outdoor dining areas. The pool, spa, and fire pit are incredible; the design is ideal. The pool also features a sun ledge for two chaises and umbrellas and a 3 unit waterfall, which is tranquil while enjoying the outdoors. The living space is ideal for relaxing and enjoying one's time, and the kitchen is appointed well. The interior is furnished with some nice mid-century reproductions and suits the home. There is plenty of mod-woodwork cabinetry, and the bathrooms are spacious with walk-in showers. Overall, this home is definitely a refurbishing of someone's architectural creation: glass and steel reminiscent of Alcoa's carefree aluminum homes of the 1950s, which I considered a privilege to have spent my sojourn in Palm Springs. I would like to see a bit of TLC in some areas (sun fading, etc.), but overall, it is a lovely home.

Great place. Up scale vibes.

5 of 5

Great place. Up scale vibes. It’s a place to entertain, but also has very very very strict rules about sound. I get palm spings is leaning towards older residents, but they beat you to death with noise warnings…Essentially no music outside is recommended. When you have a house laid out to entertain its hard to adhere to this. Was just me and my daughter this trip, so wasn’t a huge concern, but I if brought 3 couples I might check other spots.. what wrong with having music by the pool at 1pm? Anyway. Great spot, cute, cozy, well stocked. Great landscape. The many noise warnings( written, posted, etc) where off putting is all. I would come back though.

Beautiful Home

5 of 5

Stayed at the Glass snd Steel House in Movie Colony - beautiful home, perfect for my husband, myself our 15 year old twins and Maltese, and perfect location walking distance to downtown Palm Springs and Ruth Hardy Park for twins to play basketball. The home was open and airy, great views of the mountains, inviting pool (heated) and spa, and well appointed details throughout the home - from the artwork, sound/entertainment system, and well stocked kitchen allowing me to make our traditional Christmas morning monkeybread! We definitely all felt right at home and could have stayed there much longer but alas reality called! The bottle of wine and bag of coffee the Acne staff gifted us upon our arrival was such a nice touch and added warm welcome to our arrival. We will definitely stay at Glass and Steel House again on a future visit to the desert.

A Real Vacation

We have rented Glass And Steel twice now. It is a beautiful home in a wonderful location. Acme does an excellent job with any questions concerns or possibly an overlooked detail. The furnishings are comfortable, the linens and towels luxurious, location quiet, views exquisite! Various electronics were upgraded this year to make operations simpler.

We loved everything about this property. It is walking distance to town and the casino, or a quick Uber ride. The pool was warm and inviting no matter the time of day! My husband and I with two 16 year old girls would most definitely stay here again!

This is truly a great home -- very clean, modern interior with a great pool and outdoor area. The location is ideal as well -- one block from Ruth Hardy Park and ~10 minutes walking to Palm Canyon Drive. The bathrooms were large and well appointed, and the beds were very comfortable. I am already looking forward to staying there again!

In the heart of Movie Colony and Palm Springs, you can walk to almost everything. The house is very nice and the pool and hot tub are beautiful. The primary bedroom is separate from the main house and the TV set ups are complicated so not ideal for a family with young kids. Great for mature kids or couples.

Overall Comment Overall, Glass & Steel was great. It is exactly as depicted in the photos. Great location as well. There was one negative. We were inundated with warnings to not make any noise outside or you could be evicted without warning. Playing music outside is prohibited at all times. We are a quiet family with 2 young girls. We ended up shushing our kids throughout our stay even though they were just having fun in the pool. This put a bit of a damper on our stay.
