About this property
Relax at Casa Amarillo 5 min bike ride to downtown
Sit and relax in the newly renovated Spanish-Revival home. This beautiful home is perfect for family gatherings. Pamper yourself in this immaculate, non-smoking home, several minutes to the heart of Palm Springs Downtown restaurants, art galleries, golfing or hiking in its world-famous red rocks. A fun game of billiards is also at your fingertips. Enjoy your private heated swimming pool (pool heating available for additional fee) and spa as well!
The property is fully hedged and gated, providing absolute seclusion on this expansive 10,000 sqft lot that is ideal for entertaining guests.
The large, open living area has a well-designed and fully equipped gourmet kitchen, with all stainless steel appliances. The home is perfect for both cocktail parties and cozy nights in (or week-long Netflix binges!). Wall length sliding glass doors convert the house into a dynamic indoor/outdoor space, opening onto an outdoor dining table.
The manicured backyard offers a variety of spaces from the sun drenched loungers offering magnificent mountains views to the oversized Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. The upgraded salt water pool features a waterfall from the raised spa. The sculptural front lawn is perfect for an afternoon game of croquet or corn hole. Or take a 5-minute ride to downtown on one of the house bicycles.
The main home contains three bedrooms. Two bedrooms hold king beds. The third has a full size bed. There is a fourth bedroom in the attached casita. It has two single beds and two trundle beds. All bedrooms have flat screen TV's. There is also a Pack-n-Play and high chair. We ask guests to bring their own crib sheets.
A large master bedroom features a new en-suite bathroom with a large walk-in shower and a separate entrance onto the pool patio. The large bedroom in the casita also has an en-suite bathroom. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom.
The home is one level with just one step-down into the family room. The home is permitted to host up to 8 adult guests and 2 children.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property the moment we saw it. It's a Spanish-Revival home built in 1934 with old-world charm. The house underwent a major remodel in 2020 that retained it's original character. It sits on a private enclosed lot with great views of the mountains. It has great entertaining areas to enjoy with family and friends. The neighborhood is one of our favorites in Palm Springs. Close to the downtown strip, great proximity to all the best restaurants, near Palm Desert and many other attractions in the Coachella Valley.
