About this property
Private Spanish Villa Retreat - Saltwater Pool, Mountain Views, Bocce Ball, BBQ
The City of Palm Springs ID #990
Vista del Monte (View of the Mountain) is a private, walled and gated authentic 1940's Spanish hacienda home.
The home has been published and appeared in the book PALM SPRINGS LIVING. It was restored by San Francisco-based designers' Candra Scott and Anderson. The firm specializes in the restoration of landmark hotels and properties throughout the world.
The property has been totally renovated to its original pristine state and has been fully updated to include all modern conveniences while preserving the period aesthetics. The newest addition to the property is a completely remodeled saline pool. This attention to detail is rarely found in a rental property.
The home offers an open living plan with easy access to the expansive backyard with a covered patio, large pool, built-in Jenn-Air BBQ all set within a picturesque backdrop of mountain views, accented by the glowing lights of the PS Aerial Tramway.
The living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a French door leading to the covered patio, pool, and backyard. The large screen 48" Smart TV equipped with Roku, Hulu, free Netflix and Amazon Prime. If you prefer to get back to basics, you can enjoy our book library and a vast array of board games.
The open dining room has views to the front courtyard water fountain, living room fireplace and beyond to the backyard pool.
The fully equipped kitchen is complete with modern appliances as well as all amenities necessary for cooking and entertaining.
The home's floor plan has two separate bedroom wings and is bridged by the living room and dining room.
From the master suite, allow yourself to gaze out to the spectacular mountain and pool views. The pillow-top California king bed, luxury linens, 32" flat-screen TV and full en suite bathroom. To increase your comfort, bathrobes and throws are located in each bedroom closet. The en suite master bathroom includes a glass-enclosed shower and bathtub, where you will enjoy our complimentary Molton Brown bath products.
Let the queen bedroom welcome you with a pillow-top bed, luxury linens, robes and a flat-screen TV. Just outside your patio door, you will be enchanted by the tranquil splashing of the water fountain as it entices you to the cactus garden. Our collection is consistently expanding, and we currently showcase over 80 specimens collected from around the world. You just may be lucky enough to witness to one of nature's rare wonders; a cactus flower from one of our many varieties. There are two French doors that lead to the backyard and private patio, which is just steps away from the pool.
The second bathroom, adjacent to the queen bedroom features a beautifully designed glass enclosed tile shower with complimentary Molton Brown bath products and a luxurious rain-head faucet.
The light and airy twin bedroom features two twin beds and is perfectly suited for both children and adults.
The west-facing backyard and newly remodeled saline (salt) water pool are totally private with beautiful mountain views and a splashing water fountain. Enjoy the spectacular sunsets while sitting under the grapevine-lined arbors, grilling on the large Jenn-Air built-in BBQ, floating in the pool or relaxing with a refreshing drink. The citrus orchard containing orange, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon and limes provides our guests with fresh seasonal fruit. The covered patio contains a sofa, chairs and a table for intimate outdoor dining. There is an additional umbrella-covered dining table for larger groups. There are numerous cushioned chairs and chaise lounges for relaxing in the sun.
For bocce ball enthusiasts, you can enjoy playing the sport on our regulation-sized court.

We had a great stay. This place is well laid out and immaculately clean. patio area and pool were . Outdoor grill also great. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
What a beautiful home. It has a great outdoor space and the inside is beautiful and unique. The communication with the owner and property manager was above and beyond.
The property is very clean and has great amenities such as luxury towels, sheets and a well stocked kitchen. The backyard is an oasis with a spacious pool, multiple sunning areas, and even a bocce ball court! Brandon is an incredibly thoughtful and responsive host.
Everything about our stay was perfection! Easy check-in, great communication, excellent location. This home was welcoming and a perfect getaway for us. The pool and the backyard are private. We spent most of our time lounging poolside. We were pleasantly surprise how close we were to downtown restaurants. Don’t hesitate to book this home It’s a 10.
I have to admit I wasn’t the best communicator due to me starting a new job and having a hectic and super stressful work week. We had to have a late 10pm check in but Brandon and Roxxy took such great care of me and my friends. They both made sure the place was ready for us so the check in was seamless and stress free. Im so thankful for his patience and understanding with me. The house is stunning and sunsets here at the pool were gorgeous. House rules and instructions were very clear and thorough. We couldn’t get over how cute the interior design was. Until next time, many thanks Brandon and Roxxy!
Everything went smoothly from booking to greeting; courteous, friendly and professional. The house is beautiful and decorated with care and expert aesthetic; cozy bedding and immaculately clean; pool area beautiful!
The house is impeccably kept. Comfy beds and luxury towels and products. Not your traditional mid-century Palm Springs house, but a restored Spanish traditional. The big draw is the bocce ball court and the ample space to lounge in the back yard. Lovely! To heat the pool is an additional 85 dollars a day and renters should pay attention before booking.
This is a hidden gem with wonderful character. You'll see and feel it the moment you set foot on the property. The reviews are spot on (5 Stars), the property owner and manager are excellent. Our stay could not have been better, we're already looking forward to our return!

A perfect getaway
This is an absolutely beautiful and unique home. The pool and grounds are stunning; the decor of the house is exquisite. The owner and manager are professional. We will be coming back. Thank you.
An Authentic, Relaxed, and Absolutely Pristine Palm Springs Gem!We came to Vista del Monte searching for quiet and alone time, and we found our absolute oasis. The villa isn’t just ‘decorated’; it feels genuinely curated. The authentic Spanish hacienda bones—those dark beams and tile floors—are flawlessly preserved and beautifully appointed with high-end style. Everything was pristine upon arrival.The pool was the centerpiece of our stay—simply amazing. Floating there in total privacy with the mountain backdrop was exactly what we needed to reach our goal of deep relaxation. Whether we were enjoying a quiet coffee by the fountain or lounging on the patio as the sun set, every inch of the property provided a peaceful, private sanctuary.A major shout-out to Brandon and Roxxy. They were super responsive and wonderfully flexible, which made the whole experience feel seamless and personal. This wasn't just a rental; it was a flawlessly curated boutique experience. We are already looking at the calendar to plan our return!

Midwesterners meet Palm Springs
We had high expectations for Vista del Monte and were very pleased with this vacation rental. The house delivered excellent accommodations with clean and sunny rooms and a beautiful view of the mountains that changed throughout the day. The history of the home and the furnishings made it even more special; with hummingbirds in the yard a daily delight. The positive interaction with the owner and property manager made this one of our best rental experiences. We look forward to a return trip!
This was by far the nicest rental we've ever had the pleasure of staying at. The place was immaculately clean, well appointed, and extremely comfortable. The beautiful decor in this place is transportive, you feel like you are staying in a historic home! From the art to the furniture, the light fixtures and wood ceiling trim, every detail oozes charm. The wrap-around outdoor space is absolutely magical, with a large clean pool, Spanish style water fountains and beautiful gardens all against the backdrop of the San Jacinto mountains. The outdoor lights add to the vibe, and everything is on a timer and easy to use. My 6-year old daughter loved exploring the orchard in back, as well as the worldly cactus garden. I could go on an on, but in short: book this place! And if you do so, take good care of this special place.
Amazing Spanish-influence home, meticulous property with attention to detail at every level. Home and backyard/pool area are a true paradise. He is located on a busy street which makes getting in/out a bit tricky. But worth it to enjoy this home! Owner and property manager are accessible and fantastic to deal with.
Finally got around to booking this incredibly charming home. Had bookmarked it years ago when a popular antiques dealer had posted photos of it online. It's even more stunning in person, with such great attention to detail. The bonus being that it was by far the cleanest rental home we've stayed in and the host is very attentive and helpful. We'll be looking forward to many more visits.
