Take a refreshing dip in the expansive salt-water pool, ideal for leisurely laps, or unwind in the newly added eight-person infinity-style spa tucked into one corner. The generously furnished pool deck invites you to relax on four padded lounge chairs, basking in the sun or choosing the cool shade of multiple umbrellas. An outdoor dining table, shaded by an overhead pergola, sets the scene for al fresco meals, while the stainless steel grill, fueled by a natural gas line, guarantees an endless supply for your culinary delights. As night falls, gather around and marvel at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway's ascent to the peak of the San Jacinto Mountains. Your evenings here are destined for enchantment.

Step into the bright and expansive open floor plan, offering seamless views of the outdoor pool area and garden. The living area exudes style with furnishings by renowned mid-century modern designers, gracing polished concrete floors that truly encapsulate the Palm Springs vibe. Sink into the sofa for a relaxing TV session or enjoy a book by the corner window, adjacent to the fireplace. For indoor dining, the hip tulip table invites you to experience a touch of George Jetson's flair.

The fully-equipped kitchen provides ample space for cooking, dining, and relaxation with loved ones. Preserving the mod atomic style, original mid-century cabinetry adds a nostalgic touch.

Butterfly Alexander is a great house in a great location. Spacious, well decorated and comfortable. The bathrooms are not luxury, the house could use a bit of a freshening up, and the nonstop warning texts / warning signs (e.g. $500 noise fine) were slightly annoying, but for the money it's a bargain. Our only real complaints were the lack of satellite TV (it would be nice to not have to enter Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Peacock, etc. usernames and passcodes on each TV); and the six or seven feral cats who are a constant presence. Not a big deal, but just a concern for those with small dogs.

We appreciate your observations about the bathrooms and the need for a refresh, and we will look into your suggestions regarding the television services. Your concerns about the feral cats are noted, and we'll ensure our policies address this for future guests. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Das Butterfly Alexander Haus ist eine echte Perle in Palm Springs. Die Beschreibung des Hauses und die veröffentlichten Bilder entsprachen zu 100% der Realität. Das Haus ist wunderbar vom Design und der Ausstattung. Ansprechendes Mobiliar und gute Beleuchtung lassen eine sehr gute Wohlfühl-Atmosphäre entstehen. Die Lage im Raquet Club East Viertel ist hervorragend. Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig, aber dennoch zentral gelegen. Das Haus war sehr sauber als wir ankamen und auch die Aussenanlagen inklusive Pool waren super gereinigt. Die Schlafzimmer und Bäder sind hell und sauber. Besonders gut hat uns die Aufteilung des Hauses insbesondere das große Wohnzimmer mit dem Gaskamin gefallen. Whirlpool ist wirklich top - gerade außerhalb des Sommers ein highlight für entspannende Momente im Freien. Die Ausstattung der Küche ist OK und für Ferienaufenthalte ausreichend. Ein Wasserkocher wäre eine gute Ergänzung. Man ist mit dem Auto schnell an allen wichtigen Punkten der Stadt und Umgebung.

Very quiet and peaceful location

4 of 5

Very quiet and peaceful location. Great outdoor set up with large table, fire pit, and grill. Inside the home was very spacious and matched descriptions. The fact that the A/C would not go below 74 was a bit frustrating. Even with fans it was hot and made sleeping uncomfortable. If you’re used to sleeping at that temperature then it shouldn’t be an issue but I can’t imagine if it had been the middle of summer. Also, could only wash clothes in hot water so I had to choose to wash some of my things in the sink to keep from shrinking. Good to note if you’re packing light and plan on washing things.

Our stay was overall great! The house was clean, organized and close to downtown Palm Springs . The outdoor area was great! The pool and hot tub were so relaxing with beautiful views of the mountains. My only critique of our stay would be the thermostat was set to go no lower than 74 degrees. Even with extra free-standing fans in the bedrooms, it was still a bit uncomfortable at night; the temperature was fine during the day. I understand the need to not overwhelm the AC in the desert, but we paid a lot of money to stay in a house with AC and we just wish we had a bit more control of it.

We had a fantastic time. The place was lovely especially the backyard. The house for sure needs some work like new windows, bathrooms need a face lift, landscaping and pool need an upgrade. The pool and spa heated quickly. The location was great very close to all the shops and restaurants.

This property has an amazing location. It is minutes from Downtown Palm Springs and all the activities. Has covered parking if you are visiting in the Summer season your car will be shaded all day. The pool and back area are a wonderful place to relax and float the day away. There is even a fire pit to enjoy after you enjoy the sunset from the lounge chairs. This was my third stay here and I enjoy every minute.

I would highly recommend this property. Wonderful location from downtown Palm Springs. Great for a Palm Springs getaway. I enjoyed floating in the pool and soaking in the hot tub. For those rare evenings with cool in the air, there is even a fire pit with four chairs to enjoy a cocktail. I enjoyed the covered carport keeping the car out of the sun. This trip was my third visit. I look forward to many more.

This place has everything one could want for a Palm Springs getaway. Super clean and comfortable, with a gorgeous pool and stunning mountain views. Private backyard with a great grill and outdoor fire space. Kitchen is very well stocked for indoor or outdoor dining. Beds were very comfortable with nice linens and towels. The mid-century architecture of the home and the desert landscape enhance the magical ambiance of the desert. Large heated pool with wonderful hot tub perfectly placed with views of the snow capped mountains. Uber readily available, we rarely used our rental car.

Located in a quiet neighborhood very close to the main strip of Downtown Palm Springs. Everything was clean and tidy upon arrival, including pool and hot tub which both got cleaned once during the stay. House had everything we needed for a pleasant and comfortable trip. Decor and furniture are simple but have a quaint midcentury feel. Great private outdoor space in the backyard with a lovely fire pit we enjoyed several evenings. Overall a great space perfect for a desert getaway.
