About this property

Mid-Century Gem w/Salt-Water Pool, Spa,Cabana,yard, blt in bbq,& 300+5 star revs

City ID # 2922 TOT # 7130

Step into Rancho Relaxo — a 1960 original Alexander/Krisel where mid-century charm meets playful Palm Springs personality. The open, light-filled living area blends comfort and authenticity, designed for effortless lounging after a day in the sun. Thoughtful artwork from local icons Shag and Mod City adds that unmistakable Palm Springs flair guests love to discover in person.

The living room features comfortable seating, streaming TV, and a warm, welcoming vibe — anchored by signature touches that make Rancho Relaxo unforgettable. Around the house, cheerful signage sets the mood: as you enter you are greeted by “Hello” in neon, then “You Are Wonderful” marquee lights at the pool, and the hand-painted “Life Is Good” wall outside the primary that has become a guest-favorite photo spot.

The kitchen is fully equipped and easy to use —chef’s kitchen perfect for breakfasts or a relaxed dinner at home. Just beyond, the primary suite is its own private retreat, complete with an en-suite bath and private dining area that opens toward the yard — an ideal spot for morning coffee or a quiet glass of wine at sunset. Two additional bedrooms provide comfort and style, each with quality linens and cozy details to make everyone feel at home.


Step outside and you’ll understand why guests call Rancho Relaxo their happy place. The backyard is a private desert oasis built for sunshine, laughter, and long, easy afternoons. A sparkling salt-water pool sits at the heart of it all, surrounded by comfortable lounge chairs, lush greenery, and a shaded cabana perfect for reading, napping, or cocktails by sunset.

The outdoor kitchen and BBQ area make dining al fresco a breeze — whether you’re grilling for a group or keeping it simple. String lights and glowing accents create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere after dark, with the “You Are Wonderful” marquee lights opposite the pool serving as a favorite backdrop for photos and evening gatherings.

Guests love the mature fruit trees — lemon, lime, and grapefruit — that line the yard. You’re welcome to pick a few for your morning juice or evening drink; it’s a small pleasure that feels uniquely Palm Springs.

At Rancho Relaxo, the outdoor space is more than a yard — it’s an experience. Every detail invites you to slow down, smile, and soak up the best of Palm Springs living.




Amenities & Extras

Every detail at Rancho Relaxo is designed to make your stay easy, comfortable, and carefree. You’ll find fast Wi-Fi, streaming TVs in the living room and bedrooms, and central air conditioning to keep things cool when the desert heats up. A full laundry area with washer and dryer adds convenience for longer stays.

For outdoor living, enjoy ample parking, a private fenced yard, and pool floats for lazy afternoons in the sun. The fully stocked kitchen includes cookware, dishes, and basics to get you started, along with a coffee maker for those quiet early mornings by the pool.

Thoughtful touches are everywhere — from the cheerful art and custom lighting to cozy linens and shaded seating areas. Whether you’re staying for a weekend or a month, Rancho Relaxo has everything you need to settle in, unplug, and feel at home.

A light and open 1960 Alexander home in Racquet Club Estates located five minutes from downtown Palm Springs. The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances. The salt-water pool is surrounded by lush grass for kids and adults alike. The covered patio and shade trees provide respite from the sun, while the outdoor BBQ and fridge keep you fed and refreshed all day long. Hello..you are wonderful..relax,lif is good. That's the vibe here.

The primary on suite bedroom has it's own private dining area just outside the double doors, both this bedroom and the second bedrooms feature king size beds, while the third bedroom has two full size beds. All three bedrooms offer high-quality pillows and linens, flat screen TV's, black-out shades, and closets.

As a professional travel advisor, I have high standards when it comes to accommodations, and Paul’s house exceeded my expectations!! It was such a fun mid-century house with decor to match the feel of Palm Springs. Every detail from all the decor in the house and then you are met outside with an incredible pool that screams Palm Springs!! So colorful and fun. The house is very clean and they provide everything you need for a great stay. Paul was very kind and responsive.

Great location, super close to downtown restaurants/bars/shops. The layout of the interior worked well for us. Love the open kitchen/living area and the wall of windows that feature the outdoor area. The pool and spa were great as we spent a lot of our time outdoors. We did have some issues upon arrival with the pool/spa having debris. The main issue was the red ants that surrounded the pool. We immediately let property management know and they couldn’t get anyone out for ants until the following morning, which made it unusable the first day. My friends had to scrub the white pool chairs as they were stored away and dirty as well.The next morning someone came to spray the ants and the pool cleaners came. So the next two days we spent a lot of time in the pool. Although these issues put a damper on the first day, we did enjoy the remainder of our stay.

Thank you for your kind comments about the home’s location, layout, outdoor setting, pool, and spa. We were happy to accommodate your arrival around noon, nearly three hours before the usual 3:00 p.m. check-in, at no additional charge. Final outdoor maintenance was still being completed at that time, and the temporary debris around the pool was cleared within approximately 20 minutes. We’re sorry that you encountered ants in the area surrounding the pool. We first heard about the issue around 4:00 p.m. and immediately arranged for an exterminator to come at the earliest available time, first thing the following morning. The additional white chairs had been stored away and were not among those prepared for guest use, but we’re sorry they were not clean when taken from storage. We’re glad the concerns were addressed promptly and that you and your friends were able to enjoy the pool, spa, and the remainder of your stay. Best, Paul

Rancho Relaxo is very romantico! With eye-popping decor, a beautiful pool area, and comfortable furnishings, it’s by far the best vacation rental we’ve stayed in. During our three days there, we spent most of our time by the pool. My husband and I are picky about water temperature, so we paid extra to have the pool heated—very much worth it, even though the weather was quite warm. We loved the neighborhood of classic mid-mod homes, the proximity to downtown, and the close-up view of the mountains from the front yard. Paul, who met us at check-in and oriented us to the property, was a great host, and we appreciated having a minimal to-do list when checking out. It was a dream-come-true stay in Palm Springs, and we can’t wait to return!

Host profile image
I am from the East Coast, and have lived in LA for many years commuting also to NYC. Upon finding this property I found a little piece of Heaven. A true Oasis in the desert!

Why they chose this property

I am in love with this house, and thrilled to share it with you! Hopefully the warm and fun touches throughout will make this truly your home away from home. Alexander homes focus on the outdoor space, this home does not disappoint! The outdoor living room , dining room, and that amazing salt water pool and spa!

What makes this property unique

Our home is unique as we have a comfortable outdoor lounging and dining area located underneath a shaded covered patio. We have an outdoor kitchen with BBQ, fridge and side burner. Great Big Tv's and surround sound.
Our pool has a tanning shelf so you can actually sit in the water as you soak up the sun. And there is a Hot Tub!
