Description

Famed Palm Springs interior designer Arthur Elrods' own mid century home. From the Moroccan inspired facade, to the wall of windows that wraps around the pool and spa overlooking the classic sanctuary of a back yard, this home is quintessential Palm Springs! You'll find a small citrus orchard, room for yoga, multiple outdoor retreats with a fire pit, outdoor shower, gas grill and outdoor dining for 6, and comfy lounge furniture under the stars!

This beautiful home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with beautiful pool/spa, fire pit with lounge and dining area in private back yard. If you love mid century design, you will love this house! It sits on one of Palm Springs most popular and architecturally exciting streets in Racquet Club Estates. Once the home of famed interior designer Arthur Elrod, this Alexander built home holds much of its original charm.

The living room/dining room has a wall of glass that looks out over a beautiful and very private back yard of mature, lush landscaping. The comfy lounge area with fire-pit is a great spot for evening cocktails or a daytime book reading. There is an outdoor shower for rinsing after swimming and an additional patio off the middle bedroom with a separate sitting area. You'll also find a gas grill for cooking outdoors, pool floats and yoga mats.

Back inside, the living room has a cozy vintage gas fireplace and plenty of seating, TV with basic cable, Apple TV for streaming and wi-fi. The dining room has a vintage wet bar and a lovely dining table for 6 people. The kitchen has many vintage touches as well, with peg board cabinets but modern appliances and stocked with all the modern conveniences.


This home is conveniently located 8 minutes from the airport, downtown shops & restaurants, public and private golf courses, art galleries and nightlife. Palm Springs area activities include world class golf, swimming, hiking, botanical gardens, desert landscape parks, water theme park, aerial tram, tennis, gyms, horseback riding and shopping (high-end outlet mall nearby).

Also enjoy nearby Joshua Tree National Monument (an extraordinary national park set in the desert). Theme parks within two hour drive include Disneyland (Anaheim) and Sea World (San Diego).
International guests will find Palm Springs to be an ideal "home base" for day trip excursions to all your favorite Southern California destinations.

Team Poolside made our visit extra special. There was water and a snack basket waiting for us when we arrived. The manager surprised my daughter with a cake for her birthday which again was so thoughtful! The team communicated with us very clearly before and during our stay which is very important to me that I can rely on them. A big thank you to Team Poolside!!!

Our favorite Palm Springs stay yet! This house is a gem. Massive, very private yard with a well-heated pool and spa and outdoor shower. Authentic period decor throughout. The retro gas fireplace is a nice touch. Overall we were very happy and will be looking to see if the Elrod is available next time we come to PS.

My family and I had a lovely stay at The Elrod for Labor Day weekend! The house is beautiful, immaculately clean, and centrally located in Palm Springs. You can see how the house has been remodeled to preserve all that is quintessentially Palm Springs mid century/retro. Qualities of the stay that really stood out were the bedding - everyone in our group got amazing sleep, the large backyard with several areas for entertaining/relaxing, and the large pool. Also, the poolside team is VERY responsive and has someone at the phones to help you if you have any trouble. We were also welcomed with some muffins and treats for our dog :) Weve stayed at several places in Palm Springs, and will be staying at The Elrod when we come back! Weve never had this level of responsiveness and care in a stay.
