About this property

Lima Modern-Movie Colony Light Filled Mid Century Modern



City ID #002822

This newly upgraded Mid-Century Modern, including solar power in 2020 and new flooring in early 2019, provides the best of indoor/outdoor living. Light-filled with an open floor plan makes Lima Modern a wonderful space for cooking meals with friends and family or simply relaxing. The Living Room's sprawling couch is a great place to nap, read, or watch a movie on the 52 inch TV. Wake up, step outside for morning views of the beautiful San Jacinto mountains, and spend your day lounging by the pool. Original artwork and tasteful design give this house the feel of a personal retreat. The modern upgrades blended with original details make it the perfect Palm Springs mid-century getaway.

The yard offers tranquility and relaxation in a lovely setting. A beautiful pool is surrounded by tall palm trees, gorgeous mountain views and is very private. Additional outdoor amenities are a BBQ grill and several seating areas, including one with a fire pit. Located in the famous Movie Colony, you are within walking distance from downtown Palm Springs, where you will discover downtown shopping, Ruth Hardy Park, art galleries, the Palm Springs Art Museum, and many fine restaurants. A serene and beautiful place in the desert awaits you, only 5 minutes by taxi from the airport.

Cancellation policy ---I have consistently worked with guests on COVID-related issues and other life emergencies.

A tranquil and rejuvenating stay

My mother and I booked a last minute stay at this home and it was just perfect for our quick getaway. If you’re looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy some quality time with someone special, this is definitely the spot. Perfect accommodations and near downtown Palm Springs, it couldn’t be any better! We definitely plan on booking this place again. Thank you for having us!

Great Palm Springs Bungalow

Everything was great. Location is far enough off the strip to be quiet, but close to everything. House is well kept with a nicely appointed kitchen. Two nice beds in the bedrooms. Oh, and the pool was refreshing. Would definitely visit again!

A perfect retreat location!

The owner made it an easy process to check-in and quickly handle a minor issue. The neighborhood is quiet and the yard and pool maintenance was non-intrusive. I felt very safe staying here and healthy during the pandemic.

Our wonderful stay

We spent a relaxing 9 nights at Lima Modern with one other couple. It was centrally located - easy access to downtown either by foot or by car. We spent a few nights eating outside and used the pool daily. Such a quiet neighborhood too. We loved it. Thanks Francie for letting us enjoy your house. We plan to be back in Palm Springs next year and would love to stay there again!

Relaxing Vacation

We very much enjoyed our five-day stay at Lima Modern. We spent much of our time in the very quiet and private backyard pool area. The location of the home was fairly protected from the infamous Palm Springs winds, and all of the patio and other furniture was in excellent condition. The neighborhood is quite, and we also enjoyed morning and evening walks in the area almost every day. The main drag, where bars and restaurants are located, is only about a mile away.

The Movie Colony - Palm Springs

Handy, comfortable location in the Move Colony neighborhood of Palm Springs. About a mile walk to Palm Canyon Drive. Obviously can't beat the weather in February/March in Palm Springs. Walk to shops and restaurants or stick around the VRBO to swim in the pool.

Great escape from the pandemic

We had an amazing time at this property. We pretty much grilled all day long and swam in the heated pool. Location is perfect and the scenery is simply beautiful. The real treat comes when the sun starts to set. I highly recommend this home to just get away from it all. Francie is an amazing host and responsed quickly to all my inquiries. We will be back.

Perfect accommodations!

We are two couples in Palm Springs for a family wedding at The Parker. We could not have asked for a better stay. Lima Modern is clean, comfortable, super cute and perfect for two couples. The entire home was well equipped. Nothing more needed whatsoever. We cooked, swam, enjoyed the outdoor and indoor living spaces immensley, and the location could not have been more convenient! Quiet, relaxing but close to everything. Thank you Francie and Gordon for a perfect stay!

Weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our time at Lima Modern. The host was very responsive when we arrived Thursday afternoon to a dirty pool. It was good to go by early Friday morning. Great property in a convenient area of town. If you have never been to Palm Springs make sure you check out the noise ordinance information for private rentals before you book. Overall a fantastic experience.
