About this property

Skyfall House -Stunning secluded, peaceful iconic 3-bedroom home!



As featured in Palm Springs Life Magazine “Skyfall House” is an iconic and critically acclaimed architectural masterpiece located in the serene Cahuilla Hills of the Mesa neighborhood. Overlooking Palm Springs and built up against the majestic San Jacinto bedrock, it’s time to plan your escape to the luxurious Skyfall House retreat.

Built in 1963 by architect R. Denzil Lee this mid-century modern home is uniquely distinctive boasting a circular saltwater pool that lays under the open oculus overhang. By day soak up the desert sun from the comfy day bed or the chaise loungers or stargaze by night from the raised circular spa or outdoor firepit and seating.

The home itself wraps around the pool and outdoor courtyard giving you an experience that’s anything but ordinary. Magnificent 270-degree views of the mountains and the night lights of the city and valley are yours to take in from the hidden hideaway of Skyfall House.

With nearly 2,800 square feet this home features a generous great room with an 85” Samsung Frame TV, tiled gas fireplace, terrazzo floors, and ample seating to lounge on sofas that are from the groovy days at The Standard Hotel. Perfect for entertaining the group getaway, movie night, or watching the big game.

The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a wet bar, and a breakfast bar that overlooks the pool and patio. The dining area, situated just off the kitchen is the ideal place to enjoy home-cooked dinners with friends or family. Bring indoor dining outdoors while enjoying BBQ dinners al fresco at the outdoor dining table for 6.

The two primary bedrooms are on opposite ends of the home for ample privacy, along with the guest room where they each feature Bryte mattresses and their own ensuite bathroom and TV in each room. Walls of glass surround the house opening the space and allowing guests to take in dramatic outdoor views of architecture and city lights below from nearly every room.

Conveniently located in The Mesa neighborhood, guests are a 10-minute drive from the airport, a 2-minute drive from the Moorten Botanical Garden, and a 7-minute drive to all the food, fun, and entertainment Downtown Palm Springs has to offer.

Misters are not available due to the California drought. Security cameras are located on the exterior of the property. No cameras are located in private spaces.

Wonderful property!

After a complete breakdown in our trip (house we originally booked suddenly not available the day before check in), this property was a welcome retreat. It had everything we needed to prepare meals and enjoy adult beverages. Layout of the house was perfect for our group of 4. Highly recommend Skyfall and we will be back!

Fantastic house and stay

We have spent the last five Xmas holidays in PS and this was by far the best home that we have stayed in. Spectacular house and location sums it up. The house is in the Mesa neighborhood on a street with only about 5 houses, just above E Palm Canyon. From the pool/backyard, you are looking down on the PS "skylilne". The house is spectacular, just as decribed. The layout perfect for two couples and our son. The third bedroom is not as spectacular as the other two. The pool and hot tub were great, super convenient and maintained at a great temperature. The living room was perfect. Huge TV, well setup for all of the streaming services. In fact, TVs in all of the rooms. Sometimes one controller would turn on more than 1 TV. Kitchen was perfect with above average, plates, cutlery and cookware compare to your average rental home. Applicances were great as was the relatively new washer and dryer. The garage doors were a bit unusual and we were confused about how to operate. Called the manager and someone was over to show us within an hour. Since you are up on a hill, not the most convenienet place to walk your dogs, but we got used to walking down the hill and walking in the neighborhood across the street. Actually, the house is very close to the "wash" near the Indian Canyon Golf course, so often took a 5 minute drive to walk the wash and the surrounding trails. The family was unanimous that this was a great house and contributed to one of our best family vacations.

3 friend couples had a great stay at Skyfall. Perfect residence for us with style and amenities just right for our group. We love the property for staying to socialize together by the pool.

Gorgeous view, amazing mid-century with round pool ...

... but the managers were lovely however there are several things I would feel badly about not telling others: 1. They wanted $700 to turn on the pool heat 2. The water in the showers was barely a trickle. 3. The knob in one of the sinks was broken, kept coming off. great location. fun house. but...

Lovely property with lots of sunshine! The spa was perfect and having plenty of space to stretch out was fantastic. The garage acted a little wonky but the property management fixed it promptly. Looking forward to staying there again!
