About this property

Historic Ocotillo Lodge - Mid-Century Modern w/Views of Mt. San Jacinto

This completely remodeled one bedroom condo is located at the famous and storied Ocotillo Lodge, one time exclusive hangout of the glamorous stars of the 50's and 60's.

Everything in the unit is new, the modern aesthetic works perfectly with the mid-century modern architecture and surrounding complex, which still retains its mid-century charm and Rat Pack Swagger. Mid-Century purists and design aficionados will love this option, as it provides the best of both worlds, with all the modern conveniences.

The living room features a comfortable mid-century modern style sofa , HD SmartTV, and a giant wall of glass facing the large private patio for you to enjoy unobstructed views of Mt. San Jacinto. This particular unit has arguable the best, direct view of the mountain, and becuase the positioning of the Fred Astaire Suite, you have more privacy than all other bungalows in the back of the complex where the patios are smaller and squished together, compromising privacy, noise and views. The open kitchen offers stainless steel appliances and all the gadgets you'll need for a weekend or extended vacation. The bedroom also has glass slider access to the patio and a clerestory window with views of the tops of palm trees and beyond. The bathroom has modern dual vanities and sinks with a walk-in shower.

Situated near the NE corner of the complex along William Krisel Way and East Palm Canyon Drive, this 1 bedroom ground floor condo enjoys a private patio larger than most all other units, and is just steps away from parking, making entry and exit much more convenient. If privacy, discretion and VIEWS are important to you, then this is the unit for you!

The Fred Astaire Suite @ the OL is also located just steps from Steve Hermann"s iconic L'Horizon Resort and Spa, making lunch, dinner or cocktails among modern day celebrities, Hollywood A-Listers and even former Presidents - a total reality! Other dining options are tbe uber trendy ACE Hotel’s Kings Highway cafe, Elmer's, Koffi, The Saguaro and El Mirasol - all within walking distance!.

The grounds of the Ocotillo Lodge feature a champagne cork-shaped, heated swimming pool said to be the largest in the entire Coachella Valley. There are also two large, heated spas with outdoor BBQ lounge area, the famous tkik style Sunshine Bar where Don Ho once hung out, community laundry and much more. The clubhouse is currently under renovation but the fitness center is open. Enjoy your own private slice of Palm Springs Glamour right here at the Ocotillo Lodge.

This particular suite was once home to dancing legend Fred Astaire, designed by architects Dan Palmer and William Krisel and constructed by the Alexander Construction Company in 1956. Ocotillo Lodge combined short and long-term residential living with the conveniences of resort-style amenities, with over 100 apartment-style units featuring private patios. The iconic Ocotillo Lodge was a favorite spot for many celebrities, including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Betty Grable, Lucille Ball, Frank Sinatra, Katharine Hepburn, John F. Kennedy Jr., Jack Benny, Jean Harlow, Doris Day, Fred Astaire, Harpo, Gummo and Groucho Marx, Errol Flynn, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Clint Eastwood, Gene Autry, Perry Como, Spencer Tracy and many others.

Wonderful rental, wonderful host.
Robert was an amazing host and worked with me on flexible check-in and check-out and was very quick in his responses whenever I had questions. He was very understanding and patient and generous with me and he made the experience professional but warm. The apartment itself looks just like the photos and is very comfortable and clean. I would recommend this place to anyone!
