About the property

P.S. City ID #003311 | 25+ to Rent (Proof of age required)

Welcome to The Nest, a charming and beautifully preserved 1957 mid-century modern retreat designed for effortless Palm Springs living. This two-bedroom home captures the essence of classic desert architecture while offering thoughtful modern upgrades and a private, walled pool yard framed by spectacular mountain views. Whether you’re here to lounge poolside, explore Downtown Palm Springs, or simply soak up the sunshine in total privacy, this intimate escape delivers style, comfort, and location in equal measure. Beds: K, K.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
Step outside into your own private Palm Springs oasis. The fully walled backyard is lushly landscaped with mature palms and showcases sweeping mountain views that define the desert experience. At the center is a sparkling heated pool with an integrated spa, perfect for cooling off during the day or unwinding under the stars. Enjoy al fresco meals at the outdoor dining table for 6–8 guests, relax in the fire pit lounge as the sun sets, or stretch out in the hammock tucked into a quiet corner of the yard. A gas BBQ and multiple seating areas make this outdoor space ideal for both entertaining and peaceful relaxation.

** The pool can be heated upon request for an additional service fee. Please let us know if you'd like the pool heated so we can ensure it is ready before your arrival. If your home has a spa or hot tub, heating the spa or hot tub 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 a minimum of 3-day blocks per request **

INDOOR LIVING SPACES
Inside, The Nest feels bright, stylish, and inviting, with an open layout that flows seamlessly from living to dining to kitchen. The living room features plush seating and a 55” television, creating a comfortable space to relax after a day in the sun. French doors open directly to the pool yard, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living and filling the home with natural light. The adjacent kitchen and dining area make gathering, cooking, and sharing meals easy and enjoyable, whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying a quiet night in.

** 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
Both bedrooms are designed as tranquil retreats, each featuring a king bed with a hotel-quality mattress, ample storage, and direct access to the outdoors through French doors. The primary bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom for added privacy, while the second bedroom is conveniently located near the hall bath. With serene décor and easy access to fresh air and pool views, both rooms offer a peaceful place to unwind and recharge.

LOCATION
Located in the highly desirable Tahquitz River Estates neighborhood, The Nest offers a quiet residential setting just minutes from the energy of Downtown Palm Springs. This sought-after area is known for its classic mid-century homes, wide streets, and stunning mountain backdrops. You’re a short drive—or easy bike ride—from Palm Canyon Drive’s dining, shopping, coffee houses, and nightlife, as well as nearby grocery stores and everyday conveniences. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful neighborhood retreat with quick access to everything Palm Springs has to offer.

The backyard was a private oasis. It was beautiful. The home was perfect for us. The kitchen was well equipped. When we had issues with the front door lock I was able to get someone on the phone quickly to get us in the house. They have been professional and responsive. Very happy with this stay. I would choose another Acme rental just because of my experience.

Hi Rodney — thanks for the great review. Glad the backyard felt like a private oasis and the home was perfect for your group. Happy the kitchen had what you needed and that we could quickly help with the front door lock. Appreciate the kind words about our professionalism and responsiveness. We’d love to host you again.

While it is a cozy space it is thoughtfully designed and super comfortable and easy. The outdoor areas are great and they have everything you could need in the kitchen. Laundry is easy in the garage. The only thing I didn’t like was a huge sign by the pool saying you’ll be evicted if you make noise which gave it a MOTEL vibe but that was really the only complaint.

Charming desert hideaway

We love the nest and plan to be back. A couple things could be improved: more comfortable couch, the shower spray was too powerful and hurts the skin—especially in the master bath—so that needs to be remedied. Otherwise all is good.

After booking at The Nest property due to being displaced by the CA Eaton fire, the ACME House Company was extremely communicative and helpful with any issue we had. The only problems we had (if you could call it that) were one of the keypad locks for the back of the garage not working. They were quick to respond and send out someone to replace the batteries and remedy the situation. The kitchen was well stocked for our stay with plenty of pots/pans and dinner ware. Along with 2 amazing coffee machines and a full bag of ground coffee which was amazing! The back yard was quiet and peaceful and gave our 2 pups plenty of room to run around. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. We would 100% stay at this property again. Thanks for giving my family a quiet and relaxing stay in the midst of the chaos from the past couple weeks.

Loved how the design of the house stays very authentic; original 1950's bathroom and kitchen are restored and pristine, period shower doors and tile, pink tub and sink, etc Many times mid century " mania" is just copied rather than restored accurately. Cool green color palette, private desert garden in front, wonderful pool and hot tub in back. Thanks for a wonderful stay, we'd love to return. Tom

Perfect house, perfect location, perfect host

5 of 5

This house and hosts deiiver on their description. It's a lovely two bedroom, with comfortable beds, a great pool and nice little yard. We had a car, but it was only a mile from down town, so a nice walk during the mild, december weather. The host communicated clearly and regularly. Although the house was problem free, I am positive that if there were issues, they would have been resolved quickly. I can't wait to go back to Palm Springs so I can rent this house again.

The Acme team was response and on top of everything!! They were wonderful to communicate with when support was needed for the spa. Someone arrived within a couple of hours and fixed the spa for us! Overall on the day to day the location was beautiful and peaceful. The backyard was by far the best place to relax in! Thank you for a wonderful week long stay!

We spent a week there. Very good location, close to everything. The property was clean and fully equipped with everything you could need. Beds were comfortable. The absolute best was the outdoor area. Very private, quiet and amazing pool/spa. Will definitely return. ACME staff very good to work with. I had to call once and my issue was immediately resolved.

Beautiful home in a peaceful neighborhood. Spent a few days here with two college friends and we enjoyed using the pool and hot tub as well as being close to downtown Palm Springs.
