The home

Designed for slow mornings and longer evenings.

A newly renovated retro-chic escape in north Palm Springs, ten minutes from the Coachella Valley's best tables and a short drive to Indian Wells, Coachella, and Stagecoach. Four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, a chef's kitchen, and a resort-style backyard with pool, spa, fire pit, putting green, bocce court, and a beautifully lit pergola dining room. A game room with a pool table, karaoke, and a popcorn machine handles long evenings — built for slow mornings, late nights, and easy group reunions.

What sets it apart

Three reasons people stay longer than they planned.

Market intel · Palm Springs

What’s about to change in this market.

Over the next 12 months, the most material Palm Springs STR drivers are incremental event/festival programming, continued post-pandemic tourism growth, and potential tightening of STR regulation and fee structures, rather than large new hotel supply. Monitoring council agendas for ordinance updates will be at least as important as tracking openings.

Palm Springs short-term rental program – potential ordinance and fee adjustments

Palm Springs continues to actively manage its Vacation Rental and Homeshare program, with recurring discussion of caps, compliance, and enforcement on City Council and Planning Commission agendas. The city historically has imposed registration requirements, fees, and neighborhood protections, and it periodically revisits STR rules and fee schedules, creating a non-trivial risk of further adjustments in the next 12 months.

Any tightening of caps, higher registration or enforcement fees, or stricter neighborhood standards would constrain supply and could support ADR for compliant, well-located rentals but also raise operating costs and risk for operators; more permissive or clarified rules would do the opposite by encouraging marginal supply and dampening pricing power.

Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) – continued route expansion and facility upgrades

Palm Springs International Airport has been adding seasonal and year‑round routes and planning incremental terminal and passenger-experience upgrades over recent years, as documented in airport and tourism-board communications. Given the airport’s role as the primary gateway for leisure visitors, additional air service and incremental capacity improvements are likely to continue into the next year, even if individual route announcements are still rolling out.

New or expanded nonstop service from key feeder markets (e.g., major West Coast and Midwest cities) typically lifts total visitation and length of stay, which increases occupancy and supports higher ADR, especially in high-season weekends when capacity is constrained.

Ongoing expansion and programming of Palm Springs festival and events calendar

Beyond marquee regional draws like Coachella and Stagecoach in the broader Coachella Valley, Palm Springs’ own tourism calendar continues to add or expand events such as food and wine weekends, design and architecture festivals, and LGBTQ+ pride programming, as referenced in tourism-board and city promotional materials. Additions or upgrades to fall 2026 and early 2027 events are likely to be confirmed over the coming months.

Each new shoulder‑season festival or scaled-up event compresses demand into specific weekends, pushing up sell‑through and allowing STR operators to yield-manage higher nightly rates, particularly for centrally located homes and condos with pools.

"The pool deck at golden hour is the entire reason you book a Palm Springs house. This one is perfect."

"Concierge had us on the architecture bus at 9 AM and at Workshop Kitchen by 7. Effortless from start to finish."

James + Olivia · Modernism Week · 2026

"Six of us, perfectly comfortable. The kitchen for late dinners, the spa for early mornings, and Tahquitz Canyon a five-minute drive. We rebooked before we left."
