PS Butterfly: Well-Styled, Authentic Mid-Century Home

This modern Mid-Century Alexander Butterfly home was featured in "CA Modern Magazine" and 2012 Modernism Week tours. Renovated inside and out, this stunning 1960 Alexander butterfly-roof home pays homage to the past while looking to the future. This architecturally important home perfectly blends the mid-century aesthetic with updated amenities including all the modern comforts and conveniences available to deliver the very best of both worlds! Developed by an award winning designer, the home provides seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living spaces. It's the perfect retreat to enjoy the Palm Springs lifestyle with friends or family.

The light, bright open living area flows into the patio and pool area creating a sense of openness not often found in similar mid-century homes. A complete outdoor kitchen, lounge and dining area expand your living area, almost doubling the usable living space. Relax in the spa, gather round the fire pit in the evening or take a swim in the refreshing pool (pool heat is an optional/additional charge. See house rules for additional information) with waterfall features. Private outdoor lounge areas off each bedroom give you a private area to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an intimate moment to curl up with a book or that special someone.

As you enter thru the private and gated courtyard you are struck by the sense of openness and light. From the marble floors, floor to ceiling windows, the Wenge/Stainless/Caesarstone kitchen, or the large open living area with fireplace and super-slim 52-inch LED TV with surround-sound stereo, you feel like you've walked into a high-end boutique hotel. The open concept living area allows you to accommodate a crowd and not feel cramped. 

Push back the 14-foot sliding glass wall to create the classic Palm Springs indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

Enjoy dinner or cocktails under the covered outdoor lounge and dining area. Misters in the summer and heaters in the winter make the outdoors enjoyable all day, every day and give you over 1,800 sq. ft. of usable living space year round. The granite and stainless outdoor kitchen with sink, fridge and gas grill make dinners or entertaining a breeze! The outdoor shower and bathroom provide an extra level of luxury and convenience.

Each bedroom is designed for comfort and privacy with its own private outdoor lounge area. Curl up in the 100% cotton sheets or step outside to read a book in your outdoor lounge. There is queen bed in one guest room, 2 twins in the other, while the primary suite offers a King bed with Bear mattress. Extra blankets and pillows are in the closet if you need them! Washer and dryer are conveniently located in the garage for longer stays or unexpected messes.

The newly renovated bathrooms provide a spa-like experience. Relax in the expanded master bath walk-in shower complete with body jets and rain shower head or take a soak in the tub. Fully tiled from floor to ceiling with beautiful brushed nickel fixtures, this bathroom sparkles with luxury. The guest bathroom features a large walk-in shower with custom mosaic and floor to ceiling tile that finishes off the look. Clean, contemporary and modern.

Located in historic Racquet Club Estates, the birthplace of the Alexander mid-century aesthetic, you're just minutes from downtown, the airport and restaurants.

Nice pool and clean property

Great place to stay as a family. We came in summer when the weather was over 100 degress each day. The pool was refreshing and the AC worked great. The property had all the essentials for cooking. We also appreciated the nicer towels and sheets than you typically find in a rental property. The management team was clear about the rules and did a great job letting us know when services like pool cleaning and gardening were scheduled, so we could plan around it. The only downsides were the showers were a bit quirky to operate. Not really a big deal after we figured them out though.

Thought of Everything

We came her for my sister's birthday. It was almost perfect. But no real complaints that stopped the fun having. It fit our needs and they thought of everything regarding the pool area (shower, bathroom, BBQ, fridge, sink, shaded seating area, lounge chairs to get our tan on). The shower had a clog but it was just slow to drain so it wasn't a complete inconvenience. The outside bathroom didn't completely close but was still super convenient so people didn't have to go to the bathroom inside while they were wet. We just had to let people know that someone was in the bathroom. Robert, who was very responsive, said he would make sure the issues would be addressed. One thing, I would have liked a heads up for, was the pool cleaner that came one day and the gardeners that came the next day. It's no big deal if they needed access. I just worried about the dogs getting out and one of our dogs isn't good with complete strangers.

Great home away from home

We stayed for a week and loved it. Within walking distance to town, great views and great neighborhood for walking and running. The pool was great. One of our favorite areas was the outdoor dining and grilling space. We cooked more than ate out and enjoyed the starry desert skies. It is a great home and we will be back

Perfect Palm Springs getaway

We loved our stay in this beautiful midcentury rambler in an excellent, quiet, residential neighborhood. The location was perfect as we were close to shops and restaurants in downtown Palm Springs. The house was beautiful and very comfortable and the yard was gorgeous. The pool and hot tub were heated perfectly and we looked forward to getting back there each night to relax after a fun day exploring and golfing. Highly recommend this beautiful property. Communication with the property managers was excellent.

Great spot for a friends weekend

This was a great spot for a friends weekend. We were staying together and away from the public during Covid and this house had everything to make a social distanced stay comfortable. near grocery store so we were able to do one big shop and forget about going out in public for the rest of the weekend. Only complaint is the hot tub was finicky. Working well one day, then the coldest day (55 degrees) it just stopped heating up. Otherwise a great stay. Rental company was very responsive when I left an article of clothing at the house after exit and found it and shipped it back to me. very grateful for their efforts.

Great stay in a beautifully decorated and landscaped home and yard

We had a lovely stay at the PS Butterfly. The house and yard are beautifully decorated and landscaped. Our family really enjoyed the outdoor covered living space. We spent hours soaking in the hot tub and frolicking in the pool. At night there was plenty of room for our family of 6 to gather around the TV and watch a show or two. As the head cook and bottle washer, I found the kitchen to be a terrific working space with all the tools and utensils I required. Scott at Relax Palm Springs was great but we never really needed to call for assistance; everything was set up and ready for us.
