A few words from recent guests...

"We found the pool very nice, and the hot tub/spa was exceptional. The outdoor space, in general, was great and enjoyable at all times of day. The landscaping, flowers, and other outdoor amenities were thorough and appropriate. We felt the backyard was tranquil and relaxing. We found the indoor amenities to be well stocked and as described. The location cannot be beaten. We were able to walk to almost everything we wanted to do downtown." - Michael

"We loved this house! It’s in a great location - walking distance from restaurants and galleries, blocks away from Robolights and a nice park, 15 min from the tram in one direction and from Indian Canyons in another direction. The pool and back yard are very nice; we spent every evening in the hot tub looking at the mountains. The bedrooms are comfortably sized and the house overall is nicely equipped for a comfortable stay." - Tim

Neighborhood Neighborhood
This private villa is part of the prestigious Movie Colony neighborhood where the glamorous Hollywood stars come to play. The property has a prime location two blocks from the Uptown Design District, and less than a 5-minute walk to Downtown's best retail shops, bars, and restaurants.

Even though Movie Colony is close to the downtown area, the property remains extremely private, shielded by the wall and landscaping in the backyard. One thing to be aware of is that, on occasion, you may be able to hear vehicles passing by on the street behind the house or a medical helicopter due to being close to the hospital.

The historic Movie Colony is named after the many famous movie stars who owned homes in the area from the 1930's to 1960's, including Marilyn Monroe, Cary Grant, Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra, and Al Jolson.

The estate is also only a 7-minute walk to the famous 22-acre Ruth Hardy Park, where you will find 8 tennis courts, 2 children's play areas, basketball court, 2 volleyball courts, numerous picnic tables with BBQs, and large open fields. The adjacent Wellness Park is a 5-acre wellness oasis that offers a quarter-mile walking/jogging loop, five outdoor fitness stations, and four gardens: meditation, healing, fragrance and a memorial garden. There are also popular public hiking trails just a short walk or bike ride away that offer spectacular views overlooking the city, the airport, and valley.

Transit Transit
You can walk from the house to most in-town restaurants and bars. Many of the best restaurants of Palm Springs are within ~5 minutes walk from the house: Copley's, Eight4Nine, Workshop Kitchen, El Mirasol, Trio, Jake's, Birba, Cheeky's, Blue Coyote, and Tac/Quila.

There is parking space inside the gated property for at least 4 cars.

The Palm Springs International Airport is approximately 3 miles away and Interstate 10 (that connects you to Joshua Tree National Park or all the way to Los Angeles and Las Vegas) is also only a few miles away. The Convention Center, and the casino are quite close as well.

Up-to-date with the latest guidelines.

Quality assurance and maintenance

Inspected property for compliance with cleaning, safety and maintenance protocols prior to each guest arrival. Ensured the overall health, safety and quality of each property with routine preventative maintenance, including testing of mechanicals, maintaining appliances, testing smoke and CO detectors, and confirming access to fire extinguishers.

Proper PPE Usage

All housekeepers and inspectors wear protective masks and gloves when cleaning rentals

This includes wiping down any and all items that guests, owners and service providers come into contact with, including keys, doorknobs, tabletops, appliances, electronics, and light switches. As well as sanitized soft surfaces and upholstery.

**Cancellation Policy & Travel Insurance Recommendation

We understand that travel plans can change unexpectedly. To ensure transparency and fairness, we have a clear cancellation policy in place:

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to hosting you! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

We loved this house! Extremely spacious, great location to downtown, and very communicative hosts. Everything we needed was no more than a 5 minute drive. The pool and hot tub was so nice to have, and we grilled out multiple times. I highly recommend this house - we would definitely come back to this house!

This house was wonderful both inside and out. We had several adults and a couple kids and we never felt cramped. Has tons of amenities to make you feel right at home. Our host was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The backyard was our favorite place to spend the day. The pool and hot tub were perfect for all ages. Having the extra space in the casita was a nice bonus. The location was great. Easy to walk or bike to many restaurants and bars. We would highly recommend this home and plan on coming back again!

The team at Savvy made sure we felt right at home. Our flight landed earlier than we were allowed to check-in, but they were so kind in accommodating us in dropping our bags off at the house so we didn't have to walk around town with them. Myself and three colleagues were attending a conference at the convention center at the location was perfect for us to walk. Additionally, the house made us feel so much more relaxed. We all had a private bedroom while still being able to socialize and cook our meals together in the fully stocked kitchen. We grilled out a few times, and Savvy even came mid-week to refill the propane tanks that had run out. We found the location was also great for visiting the shops, restaurants, Thursday market and coffee places. I would definitely recommend this to groups, families and friends looking for a wonderful place to relax and see all the Palm Springs has to offer!

Great place, walk to everything! The casita which is separate to the main house was a big hit and turned into a teenager's retreat during our stay. Andrei was lovely and very easy to communicate with. It needs to be noted though that the backyard faces E Alejo Road and you can hear traffic. The waterfall from the hot tub to the pool creates a fair bit of white noise which is very pleasant. Would stay again!
Anke - Posted: 10/20/2023
Thank you, Anke! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great stay and enjoyed the convenience of our location, as well as the separate casita.

We had a great time at this premises. It was so convenient to have walk to shops, coffee, restaurants and the entire downtown area.
The backyard, including the pool, was beautiful. But we were here during a week of extremely cold weather so did not use pool or hot-tub. The living room and master bedroom were very spacious, both it would have been nice to have in suite baths in the two smaller bedrooms.
The kitchen was very well appointed, and easy to use. Electronics and wifi worked very well. A great place in a great location.
