Guest comments:

“I can't speak highly enough of Terry and his Palm Desert home. The property is AMAZING! The attention to mid-century details are superb, from the light fixtures to the furniture to the art to the accent pieces. In addition, the beds and seating throughout the house are extremely comfortable. The view of the pool, courtyard and mountains add to the already relaxing feel of the entire home. The beautiful private courtyard is a big plus, as is the garage parking. And we loved being able to walk to El Paseo for coffee, meals and shopping. This is by far one of our favorite vacation rentals and we're already talking about coming back."

'Everything was above average. Outstanding décor and interior design. We loved the private garden patio and spacious living area. Fabulous!'

'Your place is spectacular!! Everything about it. Doesn't get better!! We had an amazing, relaxing, quiet getaway. We can't wait to come back! After three visits....you have no choice....your stuck with us!!!'

We found Terry and Bev's Midcentury Modern home to be the perfect place to stay while in Palm Desert. The two bedroom/two bathroom layout was ideal and the private courtyard with fire feature and fountain was lovely. You will also find the mountain views to be spectacular!The home is ideally located right off of El Paseo with amazing shopping and restaurants all within walking distance.If you have the opportunity to rent Terry and Bev's home I highly recommend you grab it!

Winter Holiday in Palm Desert

Terry and Bev's Midcentury home is a beautiful and well-appointed oasis! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. There are so many great places to shop and dine close by but honestly the home is so comfortable that we just enjoyed the living and outdoor spaces. Terry was very accommodating and quick to respond to our inquiries. We would definitely choose to book their lovely home again.Thank you Bev and Terry for a great stay!

Perfect Palm Desert Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bev and Terry's beautiful Sandpiper condo. It is tastefully decorated, well stocked, impeccably clean, and in a beautiful location. We enjoyed meeting the owners and found communication with them to be easy. We give this Palm Desert architectural gem our very highest rating. Thanks, Terry and Bev for a wonderful respite from our cold midwestern winter.

We love the location, so easy to access the shops and restaurants of El Paseo, and other areas of the desert. The home is comfortable and well stocked, the owners are very helpful and easy to contact. We made dinner for friends while we were there and found everything we needed in the kitchen. We hope to be back!

Beautiful retro property just steps away from the pool

The property is beautiful with lots of space. The space was completely spotless upon check in. Check was simple and just a breeze. The property is located near numerous restaurants and shopping centers. The pool is just steps away from the patio, and we had the pool to our selves most of the time. I definitely plan to visit the Sandpiper property again.

Super Cool Mid Century Modern Getaway

Terry and Bev have a wonderful gem here at Sandpiper. Great community, nice neighbors- great design and super layout. Close to everything - I mean walk to anything you need - shopping ,eating, hiking. Plus the fresh fruit was in season - every day was a orange or grapefruit fresh picked. Terry was always available but really tried to be good guests and not pester for anything - didnt need much other than the code to get in. Will come back.

This is our third stay here. It is just right! We love the location - with easy access to just about everything. We love Sandpiper in general and this unit in particular. The light filled spaces, views of the mountains and pool, tasteful decor, well stocked kitchen, too many amenities to mention. The hosts are responsive and respectful. Feel grateful to them for sharing their home. Many thanks.

Sandpiper stay

This townhome has a great outdoor patio area in which to sit out in the sun, which is what we went for. The main areas have all been remodeled and are great and clean but the bedrooms need to be redone as well. The carpets also need to be cleaned. The bed in the master was lumpy and the shower did not drain well at all. This extra water made it slippery to step out of the shower area. The sinks also didn’t drain well in the baths. They had everything you needed though as far as towels and kitchen items. Loved the location. It was very peaceful.

Sandpiper vacation home

This is the second year we have stayed at this property and it was in perfect condition just like the first time. The house is decorated really nicely with various styles of art work and the furniture and kitchen are modern and fit the style of the house. Highly recommend this property. Probably will go back a third time.

Do not miss this place!!

If I could give more than 5 stars I most certainly would. This place was awesome! An orange tree right outside the front door! We had a fantastic time at Terry & Bev's place. Besides being a beautiful home, it's also a historic landmark! The location could not have been better, we were right off of El Paseo within walking distance to a cute downtown with loads a great boutiques and restaurants. We loved having our morning coffee on the patio overlooking the beautiful landscaping and pool. The hosts were excellent, they thought of everything, they were also super responsive and very friendly. We will definitely be back!!

What a gorgeous and peaceful location

We had a fantastic stay! The home is clean, modern, peaceful, well appointed and very spacious. Depending on your mood at the time there are so many beautiful spaces to unwind, read or whatever you want to do. I worked for two weeks while we stayed there, the wireless internet was generally excellent and accommodated all my zoom meetings. My favorite part of the whole thing was the view of the lawn and pool area, just spectacular. An orange tree is right outside the front door and we had fresh squeezed juice. Everything inside and outside is so well maintained. The mountains are close and add to the whole experience. We walked on most days to restaurants down the street. A+.

Relaxing Get Away

My husband, 21 yr. old daughter and I had a wonderful time relaxing during a long weekend stay. The place was perfect for the 3 of us with plenty of room. It's beautiful inside, giving us the Mid-Century Modern vibe that we were looking for. There are floor to ceiling windows through out to enjoy the gorgeous views. It was just steps to the pool and my husband and daughter had a good time playing shuffle board there in the evenings. It was very peaceful and quiet with just a couple of people enjoying the pool at different times. The location is great with lots of restaurants, grocery stores, antique & high end shopping a few blocks away. It was the perfect get-away for us.

About the host

Hosted by Terry Berg or Bev Berg

Host profile image
We live in the Vancouver area and have been visiting the Palm Springs area since 2006 when we purchased our first vacation property in La Quinta.

Why they chose this property

This property is a midcentury modern 'gem' and we just fell in love with it the first time we saw it. We were not even looking to buy yet, a month later, we owned it!

What makes this property unique

The design of this home brings the outdoors in with all the glass doors and clerestory windows. The Sandpiper community has strict controls on the exteriors so, everything looks as it did in the 50's and 60's when it was built. Thats what drew us to this location.

And speaking of location, we love the walkability to great restaurants, some with live jazz music (Back Street Bistro) as well as to some the most popular hiking trails in the valley. Also Macy's is right across the street at the Westfield mall!
