Full of classic mid-century design and all the comforts of 21st-century living, this three-bedroom property offers a wonderful home base for a family or a group of friends near the heart of Palm Springs. Designed by Donald Wexler AIA in an iconic butterfly-roof design, this home was thoughtfully remodeled in 2012 and now offers an updated air conditioning system, dual-paned windows and sliders, and a new 50-foot swimming pool with a shallow tanning ledge, a fountain, umbrella holes, and an attached spa. The south-facing backyard is punctuated by citrus and palm trees, a gas barbecue, and comfortable seating for admiring the view of Mt. San Jacinto. Each evening, you can retire to the living room and the warming gas fireplace to stream Netflix and Hulu on the 48-inch Smart TV.

Very cute modern house
Perfect layout. great bedrooms and bathrooms. The backyard was huge and so was the pool. Only downfalls were the Wifi which was spotty and the area of palm springs I didn't realize was known to be super windy so we had to really clean the pool each morning. Overall great house!

A Solid Home with Great Character
This is our second time at this home, and the house nestled within this mid century modern neighborhood truly embodies the Palm Springs ethos. My kids loved the massive pool, and the hot tub is a nice treat for the night time. I docked one star only because I noticed minor areas in need of upgrades (A/C isn’t strong in the common areas; curtains needed in guest rooms), which I messaged about to Vacasa. Their customer service is great, and I’m sure they’ll relay to the owners. Still, I would highly recommend.

Awesome yard.
The house was cozy and clean and the yard was lovely. There were mechanical issues with the house and we had to be moved to a new location so we didn't really have much time to spend at the home or review it fully as we didn't stay long enough.

Love this house and pool!
Amazing property. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need including coffee and filters! Pool was a big as described, great clean backyard. House was spotless. The only negative I can say is the master bed is quite HARD. Very very firm mattress. Not what i'm used to, but i'm sure for some, might be great. Other than that, everything was great. My kids and our dog, Bear, had an amazing 4 days here!

Nice pool area
A compact and functional house, with a lovely backyard and well-equipped kitchen. The artistic touches were nice with fun lamps, furniture, and vases. The pool and lounge area outside are clean and nicely laid out, with several umbrellas provided and lots of pool towels available. There is some noticeable noise outside from the nearby busy road and the PS airport, but it did not bother us. The pool/spa take a long time to heat and we were disappointed that management did not start that process early enough, so we did not have pool/spa heat on the first day although we paid extra for that. The house could really use some attention in a few areas: bedroom doors are all chewed up on the bottom, and the guest bathroom's tub needs to be refinished or replaced. Maybe a new coat of pain needed in places. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful property!
This property is fantastic! If your goal is to stay in a traditional mid-century house in a great neighborhood for your visit to Palm Springs, then Palm and Citrus is the house for you! The pictures don’t do it justice - it is even nicer in person! Pros: - back yard is stunning with multiple seating areas and a cactus garden! - pool was clean and much larger than expected - plenty of pool towels too! - living room furniture is very comfortable with Roku in every room! - neighborhood is full of MCM gems! - house is on the dead end of a street that has a cute park on the side. - property is a only short drive to attractions - dove toiletries were a nice touch! Cons: - hot tub area in the pool really needs some work. Many broken tiles and broken drainage cover made it unusable. - mattress in the primary bedroom is hard as a rock and really uncomfortable. The other 2 beds were fine. - road noise can get loud, but it didn’t cause any problems for us. If you’re on the fence, book this place and you’ll be sure to have a great visit to Palm Springs!

Liked: Check-in
Neat little place
This is a cool modern and fun little place in a very cool neighborhood. Just know that when you book it is managed by Vacasa and they manage the checkin process at their discretion and timing. It’s via text until you reach the door … a little unnerving if you are used to dealing with owners direct and getting your info prior to your departure to get there. We paid $100 a day to heat the pool/spa .. water was tepid at best and no one came to increase heat or explain that is as good as it gets. The neighborhood has a great vibe … you back to Gene Autry Trail so if road noise is going to bother you think again. The kitchen was well equipped, great gas fireplace inside. The second bathroom needs work to be done on shower handle etc. as it came off in my hand and the glass doors are cumbersome to use / stick. After owning our own VRBO we may have higher expectations.

Gorgeous, hip home!
Home was absolutely lovely and well-appointed. Backyard is beautiful. Interior is quite lovely and oh-so-cool. Primary bedroom bathroom is gorgeous. There are a few small details, however, that did not meet our expectations for the price. While the home was well stocked with anything you could need in the kitchen, there was not a single box of tissues in the entire house. The Palm Springs wind was insane the three days we stayed in the home so we all three needed tissues for noses and eyes. We instead had to use the toilet tissue which was not of great quality (perhaps this is because the home has a septic system so the toilet paper must be a certain kind - the thin kind that falls apart?). We finally just went and bought our own tissues but providing guests with a couple boxes of tissues would be lovely. Quality of bath towels in bathrooms was less than stellar - worn and small and thin. It is not that hard to find higher quality, larger, fluffy bath towels at a reasonable price. I always prefer to stay in a home versus a hotel when traveling but I also expect the same high quality products in a rental home as in a hotel (such as higher quality towels and toilet paper). So, overall, a great stay - the above comments are obviously minor issues in the grand scheme of things but also should be taken into consideration given the plethora of home-rental choices. Every detail makes a difference.

Nice Location
The mid century house. Location is good. Little noisy from vehicles on Vista Chino road. Loved the large bedroom and bathroom. Pool is great. We did not pay extra to heat the pool. Water is cold. Summer should be OK for Water temperature. Washer/dryer available. Really enjoyed our time at the house. I feel it has a good vibe!

My New Favorite Perfect Weekend Getaway House
The house is located in a gorgeous mid century modern neighborhood with unique character. The back yard has a beautiful pool, perfect size outdoor dining area and well appointed desert landscaping. Its convenient to grocery stores (we cooked most meals in and there's nothing the kitchen didn't have) and not too far to get to downtown, I definitely hope to be back in this house again soon!

Retro Meets Modern
I chose the property for the Palm Springs vibe and the pool, and it did not disappoint. I think the pool was my favorite at home pool I’ve ever been in, including my own. It was heavenly! The home had a fun retro feel with beautiful updated bathrooms and a great kitchen. Very comfortable. We have already recommended this property to friends and will definitely be back!

Great find!
We loved our stay here! Like any place, there are pros and cons, but for us the backyard and pool area were so unbeatable that any "cons" are overshadowed. I'll list my details below in case some of these items are more cons than pros for others looking to stay here, but overall we loved it and will be back for a future stay. * The house was exactly as pictured: clean, well supplied, everything you need for your stay. Some small details or updates could be made, but nothing that would make us not want to stay here again. (Plenty of bath and pool towels, maybe could have supplied a few more rolls of toilet paper or paper towels.) * The location is a little further out from the main drag than originally thought, but we didn't mind it. It's just past the airport, so you definitely get the noise from the planes taking off; which didn't bother us. There aren't too many planes coming and going. The noisier part of this house is that it backs up to a very busy street... cars (and sirens) all day long. Again, it didn't bother us too much but if you're looking for complete silence it might be too noisy for you. * The management of the house was just okay. Communication leading up to the stay was hard to track down (we were trying to find out info on heating the pool and jacuzzi). We ended up having to call about 10 times before we got our answers. Also, they mentioned that our entry email would contain information on any pool or yard maintenance days/times if they coincide with our stay. The email didn't say anything so we assumed there wouldn't be anyone coming by, however that was not the case. The pool guy came by one morning AND a pest guy came another morning and sprayed the whole yard while we were there. They have access to the side gate with a key, so they just let themselves in unannounced. Again, not a huge inconvenience but would've been nice to know ahead of time so we weren't surprised by someone walking around in the backyard without us knowing and our dog barking like crazy. Those are just a few of our thoughts to give anyone more insight to the place. We've stayed at a few Palm Springs vacation rental properties in the past, and this one is by far the best one we've stayed in... all because of the amazing pool and backyard.

Excellent stay, beautiful pool
Pros - Amazing pool and grounds - Peaceful neighborhood - Clean and spacious - Nice new furnishings (exception with the master bedroom) - Well stocked kitchen tools - Towels are nice and fluffy Cons - Please recommend heating pool - for non pool owners we didn't realize that you need to heat pool even in summer to get to comfortable temp - Master bedroom furniture needs major upgrade, including mattress - minor issue but glaringly obvious and drabby - The back of house faces a super busy street so traffic can be heard all day. It didn't bother us, but not as quiet as you might expect. - Garage door is manual and a pain so didn't use

Nice place, very poor maintenance
The house is pleasant, but the management of the house is terrible. Two days after we arrived the toilets became seriously blocked (unusable) and the next day the showers were also backed up. I understand things like this happen, but the service we had from the property management company was appalling. After 6 frantic calls to them (remember no toilets or showers!) they finally sent a repair man who was unable to get the plumbing working. This was then followed by another visit from the same man later in the evening with the same results. We were eventually allowed a plumber (clearly, they did not want to spend any money) at 9pm; he helped but could not get things fully working. Another plumber had to visit the next day to finally restore the plumbing. Apologies and explanations from the management company were nonexistent.

Beautifully restored mid-Century modern house with sparkling pool
We enjoyed lounging in the pool; cocktails under the palm trees; naps on the couch; and cooking in the well-equipped kitchen. The place was spotless with plenty of towels for pool and bath. The Wifi was strong for all our Zoom calls. This was our second stay at the Palm and Citrus and we plan to return again.

Great stay!
Overall we had a great time at this house. The design and architecture are fantastic and the backyard is a gem. We do wish the hot tub had actually been hot. It was barely warmer than the pool. We also were not aware that this neighborhood is one where the winds are so strong.
