About the property

P.S City ID #067656 | Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age (Proof of age required)

This designer property pays homage to tennis royalty, and the long-standing tradition of tennis in Palm Springs. Gussie’s Place, named after Gussie Moran, the “Anna Kournikova” of the 1940’s/50’s, is perfect for small families and groups traveling together. Mature landscaping gives this backyard ultimate privacy complete with a saltwater pool and spa, fire pit, covered al fresco dining, and mountain views. Want to venture out? Walk to Ruth Hardy Park a few blocks away followed by a short stroll to Palm Canyon Drive for brunch. Beds: K, Q.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
The backyard of this property is the place to be, with its beautifully lit swimming pool and spillover spa, shaded lounge areas (both covered and open), outdoor shower, and inviting fire pit. Float in the pool or relax on the deck and look out at this home’s stunning mountain views.

There’s no shortage of entertainment here—those seeking a little exercise or competition will get hours of fun out of the covered outdoor rec area with ping pong table, cornhole set, yoga mats, and tennis gear. Feel like playing a game of tennis? Channel your inner Gussie and take advantage of the house’s tennis balls and racquets while playing on the neighborhood courts just a few blocks away at Ruth Hardy Park.

** 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
Enter into an open-concept great room that includes a skylit kitchen with marble waterfall island (you’ll find seating for 4 at the kitchen bar), gas range and oven, stainless steel French door refrigerator and dishwasher, and oversized farm-style apron sink. This area is convenient to the cozy dining nook with seating for 4. Take a glance around the room and you’ll notice art that highlights Palm Springs’ storied tennis history, including photographs of Gussie herself. This space also has a turntable and bar area: everything you need for setting any mood you desire.

The sunny living/lounge area boasts direct access to the backyard and pool, and is tastefully decorated in a style that is a nod to both mid-century modern and contemporary cool. This space has a flat-screen TV—perfect for movie night—as well as a pull out sofa, and a small office area for getting that bit of work or writing done.

** 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
This property sleeps 4 guests between 2 bedrooms. In the primary suite, find a king-size bed and flat-screen TV, backyard access via sliding doors, and a full en-suite bathroom with tiled walk-in shower. The 2nd bedroom, equally as bright and contemporary, has a queen size bed, flat-screen, and backyard access. This bedroom makes use of the full bath just outside its door, with tiled walk-in shower.

THE LOCATION
Located in the historic Movie Colony East neighborhood, this property is just blocks from the house Frank Sinatra called home in Palm Springs, a 13-minute walk or 3-minute drive to the tennis courts at Ruth Hardy Park, and just a few houses down from the Palm Springs Citywide bike loop. World-famous Palm Canyon Drive, home to excellent shopping, dining, and people-watching, is just a mile from the front door. And the casino, convention center, and world-class golf, tennis, and hiking trails are all within a short drive.

Lovely. Very clean. Pool was super pleasantly cool on the 105° days. Loved the Hall/Oates and Hendrix records.

Well stocked kitchen. Beds very comfy. Plenty of pillows for different likes. Yard is lovely. Pool was too cold but the ping pong table made up for the disappointment with granddaughter. Really fun town and proximity was awesome.

We had a wonderful girls' weekend at Gussie's Place! The host's instructions were very clear and easy to navigate. The house we very clean and welcoming, and the backyard was an amazing private oasis! The location was walking distance from downtown and very centrally location. I would highly recommend this rental.

Private oasis within easy driving distance to main Palm Springs shopping, restaurants, and airport. Nice large kitchen communal space along with multiple seating areas in and outside for lounging and dining. Sliding doors from both bedrooms to backyard which is fully fenced (tall brick walls!) which kept our mini schnauzers safe within the enclosed space. Comfortable beds, plenty of linens and a kitchen with a plethora of pots, pans, dishes, and glasses for entertaining. If you’re more than two, there really isn’t a great place for cozying up to watch a movie. But hopefully, you’ll be too busy enjoying being outside. Check in instructions provided are via an external link from AirBnB and there are three separate keypad entrance options which is a bit confusing upon initial arrival. Quiet neighborhood with wide streets (but minimal sidewalks) and blocks of mid-century architecture to admire.

Nice Palm Springs older bungalow with excellent kitchen appliances and well appointed bathrooms. Spa controls were a challenge to locate, but once realized easy to use. The spa works well even though it has an aged feel to it that lacks vintage appeal. Living room seating is a little lacking for a a family of 4. Resident service personnel were super responsive, and kitchen allowed us to whip up a significant Christmas dinner without stress. Overall a very pleasant private and comfortable experience for me and my 3 twenty-something children. Recommended.

Thank you for the review, Gary. I’m glad the classic Palm Springs bungalow, excellent kitchen appliances, and well-appointed bathrooms helped make your Christmas dinner stress-free, and that the spa and our resident team were helpful. I appreciate the notes about locating the spa controls and the living-room seating — I’ll pass that along to our team. We’d love to host you again.

Just a spectacular week at Gussie's Place. The house is lovely, Palm Springs is wonderful, and we had an amazing time. We walked / ran every morning around the neighborhood with great views of the mountains. The pool / hot tub were outstanding, and we grilled several nights. It has a great "old Hollywood" vibe, and there were lots of nice little touches. The kitchen was excellent (we brought our own groceries and cooked in on the nights we didn't go out). Acme is super responsive. Great wifi - my wife and I both worked from the house for several days. We will definitely be back, and highly recommend!

This was our first visit to Gussie’s place, but we certainly hope to return soon! Your home is as advertised – clean, comfortable, and close to downtown, restaurants, parks, and attractions. The backyard with pool, spa, firepit and more made for so much fun and relaxation for our family. Gussie’s is the place to be in Palm Springs! We also had a very minor issue during our stay, and the property manager responded promptly and professionally—top-notch service that made us feel well taken care of. P.S. Our favorite restaurants include Cheeky’s (breakfast), 849, Jake’s, Bar Cecil, and Birba. Tom & Teresa

Cute house. Awesome yard. Great location. Responsive hosts. Dishwasher broke and they had a technician out within a few hours. Negatives were the master bed AC did not keep up with the heat well, and the hot tub would drain out and get cold starting at 6pm.

We were staying at Gussie’s Place for a few days as a family reunion. The price was affordable and in a neighborhood close to everything. The home was very comfortable and spacious. The pool area was well maintained and enjoyable. Everything we needed was just a few minutes away. The management company was very responsive to all of our needs.
