About this house rental
Designed by Donald Wexler, father of “desert modern” architecture, Casa Tranquillo -- once featured on HGTV -- sits at the base of the San Jacinto mountains in The Mesa, a historic neighborhood 5 minutes from downtown Palm Springs. A showcase of Wexler’s signature butterfly roof style, the home’s swimming pool also mirrors the distinctive shape.
Landscaped with soaring palm trees, a ficus privacy wall and a lush side lawn with a lemon tree, the newly renovated home has kept the integrity of the Wexler design with modern updates, including tanning ledges and water features in the swimming pool.
The sprawling backyard, which also has a hot tub, fire pit and 6-seat dining area with a BBQ grill, is ideal for small gatherings. Stroll along flagstone patios, soak up the famed Palm Springs sun on chaise lounge chairs, or enjoy a drink at the shaded patio table with close-up mountain views.
Inside, find distinctive mid-century design elements, including travertine floors and a lighted opaque glass wall. In the unique step-up living room, sink into one of two sectional sofas by the large-screen TV and a cozy fireplace. In a separate, sunken sitting area, another sectional and coffee table offers a place to relax with a cocktail or laze with a magazine. Exposed stone and glass walls throughout create a feeling of indoor/outdoor living.
For dinner indoors, seat up to 10 guests at the formal dining table, which sits next to an inspiring gallery wall of blown glass vases. Just off this area is the gourmet kitchen, which combines modern amenities with mid-century design. Find hardwood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and four swivel chairs for leisurely mornings over coffee.

The house was clean and exceptionally well-furnished with everything we needed. The entire family played in the pool and spa every day; the shallow end was shallow enough for the 5-year-old to touch bottom, and the pool had areas only a few inches deep that the toddler played in. Plenty of comfortable furniture outside for everyone, several umbrellas, 2 roomy dining tables outside in different areas, lots of pool towels, even a lawn area near the kitchen for frisbee tossing and a gas firepit. Our two daughters and their families each had a pair of bedrooms connected by a bathroom, and we had the main bedroom. The kitchen had everything we needed and more--lots of dishes, small appliances, big gas range and a big grill outside. There was a lot of comfortable seating indoors to accommodate our group of 11. We enjoyed relaxed walks around the neighborhood. We did a few things away from the house but honestly the time spent together at the house was like being at our own private family resort!

Loved our stay at this home. Floor plan was great for many guests - rooms were comfortable and we liked that there was lots of parking. We loved being in the south end. It was quiet, no wind, and walkable to bars and restaurants.

Had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property! We had our adult kids with us and particularly enjoyed how there are 3 separate wings for the bedrooms, which gave everyone a bit of added space. Kitchen was very well appointed to cook family meals with decent pantry and lots of equipment/utensils. Location was also great -- close to hiking and downtown area both.

We had a very good time. It was especially nice to have such a fully stocked kitchen seeing that we had our Thanksgiving meal there. Plenty of room for all 10 of us and good weather meant we were able to enjoy the pool and jacuzzi.
