Paradise Las Palmas - Mid-Century Luxury: Iconic Alexander Home with Stunning Views

Experience the timeless allure of mid‑century modern luxury at Paradise Las Palmas, a meticulously restored architectural treasure in the iconic Vista Las Palmas neighborhood - once home to Hollywood legends like Dean Martin, Debbie Reynolds, Joan Collins, and Kirk Douglas. Marilyn Monroe's former residence sits just five doors away, adding to the unmistakable glamour of this storied enclave.

Built in 1960 by the famed Alexander Construction Company and designed by renowned architect William Krisel, the home was thoughtfully modernized in 2014 under the artistic direction of Hollywood production designer and Emmy nominee Douglas Kraner. The result is a Palm Springs vacation rental that honors its mid‑century roots while embracing contemporary comfort and sophistication.

From the moment you enter, the home reveals itself as a world of style, serenity, and cinematic beauty. The private 12,000‑square‑foot walled and hedged yard is anchored by a large pool and spa, framed by dramatic mountain vistas that shift in color as the sun moves across the sky. As evening arrives, gather around one of the two outdoor fire pits while the hedges, cacti, and palm trees glow with architectural lighting, creating an intimate, enchanting atmosphere perfect for unforgettable nights with friends and family.

A covered lounge area offers a shaded retreat for afternoon relaxation or evening cocktails, surrounded by meticulously landscaped gardens and lush lawns. Fire up the natural‑gas barbecue grill and enjoy alfresco dining beneath the desert sky - every moment outdoors feels like a private resort experience.

Inside, the home blends original mid‑century character with curated modern touches. Three spacious bedrooms - two with California king beds and one with a queen - offer comfort and tranquility for up to six guests. Each room is thoughtfully designed with quality mattresses, premium linens, and stylish décor that reflects the home's architectural pedigree. Two full bathrooms and a private outdoor shower add convenience and a touch of spa‑like indulgence.

Paradise Las Palmas is not a typical rental - it is the owner's personal residence, furnished with original artwork and an impeccable mix of modern and mid‑century pieces. Every detail has been intentionally selected to elevate your stay and immerse you in the authentic Palm Springs lifestyle.

With its rich history, iconic architecture, private resort‑style amenities, and breathtaking mountain views, Paradise Las Palmas offers a rare opportunity to experience Palm Springs exactly as its Golden Age stars once did - stylishly, leisurely, and surrounded by beauty.

Twenty years ago we found this place and vacationed here a good 6 years in a row. Then the owner sold it. It was off the rental market and we always drove by to see if anything was up. Eventually the new owners did an interior re-do, and this year we returned. Loved loved loved it. Quiet, beautiful, well-appointed, and close to everything we like to do. It was also fun to wave at double-decker Modernism Week tour buses and listen to them cheer us all the way down the block. ;-)Hosts were friendly and helpful. We’ll be back!
