Retiro Privado Moderno, Piscina de Água Salgada e spa

Our home embodies the unique vision of Spanish-style architecture that emerged in Palm Springs in the early 1970s: stucco exteriors and Spanish tile roofs blended with midcentury interior design elements. Extensively remodeled a few years ago, this design-driven 3 bedroom 2 bath home accommodates 6 guests comfortably. It boasts a south-facing backyard with mountain views and a saltwater pool and spa. Soaring ceilings and an open layout in common areas make the home feel very spacious. Kitchen with 12-foot island and 6-burner BlueStar gas range. The tile floors are continuous throughout the home, a gas fireplace, and a mix of vintage and modern furnishings. Very Kid-friendly, close to amenities, and protected from harsh desert winds and airplane noise. The house was recently upgraded with Solar Panels and a Tesla EV charger.

We want to assure our current and future guests that we are taking extra precautions to ensure the sanitation of our home. We have enhanced our already high standard of cleanliness to protect our guests further. We standardly use bleach in all appropriate areas. We can also schedule a mid-stay cleaning.
