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.

We stayed for a week, again, and we had a fabulous time, as usual. This is a wonderful place to stay for a family as the pool is large and there is a great covered area to sit u see and eat and/or relax while watching the kids in the pool. We would stay here again!

Lovely, relaxing place to stay

The house is so fun and relaxing. It was a lovely spot for our girl trip to Palm Springs. We enjoyed chilling in the pool during the day and hot tub at night. We cooked a couple times at the house and it had all the supplies we needed. One evening we had a plumbing issue, and the owner was responsive and had a plumber to the house the next morning. Great location easy access to downtown Palm Springs and other local sites. Overall, we enjoyed our time and would recommend this house to others!

Cute place

Two things we look for in a Palm Springs rental is it has to have a spa and a covered outside area. This had both. The vibe was unique mid century I'd say. Owner got back to us immediately when we had any questions. Spa nice and hot with good jets. The three of us enjoyed our stay.

This rental was perfect for a girls' weekend getaway. We loved the fact that it had 2 king beds (not queen) and the room with 2 beds were full size. The couch was large and easily accommodated six people. It was a great setup for a friend's visit. The house had everything we needed. The location was close to downtown. The pool was great but it would be much easier to get out if there were a handrail by the steps. The inside and outside decor were great for pictures!
