About this house rental
Welcome to Casa del Colibri, embraced by some of the most dramatic mountain views in Palm Springs within the secluded Old Las Palmas neighborhood. This romantic private estate, steps from Downtown Palm Springs, has the charm, aesthetic, and history to show your group a stylish SoCal experience.
A Spanish Colonial Revival first crafted in 1927 for a famed fashion designer, the home has recently been lovingly renovated — retaining all of its original architectural features — and is now a featured estate on the Palm Springs Historical Society Celebrity Homes Tour. Celebrity residents included Bing and Dixie Crosby, Sammy Davis Jr., and many others. Once owned by the Douglas family, the home even retains the pool table handcrafted for movie star Kirk Douglas.
Outside, a luxe backyard features lush landscaping and stunning mountain views. Host the ultimate desert retreat between the large saltwater pool, spa, bocce ball area, expansive lawn, spacious pavilion with a grilling and prep area, and a firepit with comfortable seating. There's even a private pickleball court ready for friendly competition.
Inside, Casa del Colibri' is a kaleidoscopic blend of colorful Spanish tiling, wood details, and eclectic decor. From the living room fireplace to the comfortable bedrooms, every space here is a curated opportunity for connection.
You'll be within a short walking distance of all the best dining and entertainment, nestled in Old Las Palmas, a premier neighborhood referred to as the “Beverly Hills” of Palm Springs. Rich in architecture and Hollywood history, this affluent neighborhood also holds estates belonging to well-known figures like Leonardo DiCaprio, Kurt Russel, and Katherine Hepburn.
AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!
A 90-minute drive from LA, Palm Springs has earned its reputation as a long-time favorite desert destination. Attracting movie stars, such as Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra, it boasts an old-Hollywood history dating back to the 20s. Mid-century modern architecture adds to a nostalgic feel while trendy shopping, hip restaurants, and lively bars keep things modern. Hop from one renowned golf course & spa to the next, or explore the Coachella Valley desert by way of hiking, ATVs, or horseback.
Local Attractions: Palm Springs Art Museum, Tahquitz Canyon, Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, Indian Canyons Hiking Trail, Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs Air Museum, Sandfish Sushi & Whiskey, Antigua Kitchen + Bar, Johnny Costa's Ristorante

The home was impeccable. The grounds were beautiful. The location was perfect. Our family loved the pool table, swimming pool and Bocci court. It was too hot to play pickle ball but the court was nice. We had a little trouble cooling the back of the house and had to use portable fans to draw the cooler air from the front of the house to the back. The one bedroom that is supposed to have a trundle bed in it did not have it. It is pictured as a blue velvet bed and what is actually in the room is a single twin iron bed with no trundle. The icemaker in the refrigerator does not work. And the gas stove has a slight gas smell that emanates from the kitchen. Which I found unsettling. There is a hook up for misters outside at the outdoor kitchen/patio by the pool and we used everyday. This is not listed on the description for the listing. Otherwise we had a blast and enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Oh and the history behind this iconic home is amazing!!

I have no words for the most beautiful and magical week we just spent at this property. Well worth every penny. First, the location can’t be beat - walking distance to the best restaurants, coffee shops, and shops. We really didn’t NEED a car at all - except for a grocery run.
The house is BEAUTIFUL - the furniture, decor, windows, grounds, and original features were completely in line with the history of the house. It has a quiet elegance that was perfect. The beds are comfortable and bathrooms are plenty.
The view, the pool, and the outdoor gathering areas were the real winners this week - we could have stayed forever.
Management was communicative and thorough and quickly dealt with one issue on a Friday night - thank you! The main bedroom “wing” is warmer than the rest of the house and the internet is not strong. Those were the only minor issues.
All in all — one of the best vacation stays of my life!

This is a historic property very close to downtown. Location is A +. The yard and all the house has to offer are truly amazing. Beds very comfortable. Property company was responsive to the needs of our group. The Kitchen could be better stocked though considering the price and size of this house.

This place is every bit as beautiful as the photos suggest.
We are a family of 8 adults and the accommodation was perfect. Beautiful home, pool, grounds, dining pavilion with BBQ , fridges etc. floaties, bocce, lawn games, everything you could ask for. And only a block off the main strip and just a few minutes walk to a wide variety of restaurants and shops. Location couldn't be better. Not a 5 but a 10.
