Sun Splash Retreat - Donald Wexler Design
This iconic Donald Wexler–designed mid‑century modern vacation home sits at the end of a quiet cul‑de‑sac and includes a private casita that was part of Wexler's original architectural vision. Recently refreshed and now boasting a fully remodeled pool, brand‑new in‑ground spa, and plenty of outdoor living spaces, this Palm Springs vacation rental blends authentic mid‑century character with modern comfort in all the right ways.
The interiors are thoughtfully styled to complement the home's original lines, concrete countertops, and signature mid‑century details. It's a single‑level, sun‑filled retreat with an open floor plan that makes gathering, relaxing, and entertaining feel effortless. Every room carries a mix of modern updates and vintage charm that celebrates the home's history while still offering a clean, comfortable, and inviting space for your Palm Springs getaway.
The main house features a well‑equipped kitchen with essential appliances and generous prep space, perfect for cooking at home between poolside afternoons. The adjacent dining area flows into the bright living room, where you can cozy up by the gas fireplace or stream your favorite shows on the smart TV. A dramatic sliding wall of glass opens to the backyard, creating the seamless indoor‑outdoor living experience that defines the Palm Springs lifestyle.
Step outside to your private desert oasis, now better than ever. The newly remodeled pool sparkles under the sunshine, and the brand‑new in‑ground spa offers the perfect spot for evening relaxation beneath the mountain views. The backyard also features an outdoor couch lounge with a propane fire pit, multiple seating areas, a propane BBQ grill, and a fully enclosed yard ideal for sunbathing, stargazing, and enjoying the warm desert breeze.
The primary bedroom includes a king‑size bed, en‑suite bathroom, and sliding glass doors that open directly to the pool and spa. Two additional guest bedrooms offer queen‑size beds and share a hallway bathroom with a shower‑tub combo.
The private casita is a true highlight, offering a cozy poolside retreat with its own living area, full‑size bed, sleeper‑sofa full‑size bed, TV, sink, and bathroom. The original blue tile - still sparkling after all these years - adds a playful pop of vintage mid‑century charm. With its close proximity to the pool and its own dedicated space, the casita is perfect for guests seeking a little extra privacy.
This home is a quintessential Palm Springs escape - fun, stylish, and full of character. Managed by Poolside Vacation Rentals, it offers the ideal blend of mid‑century design, modern amenities, and resort‑style outdoor living.

It was just perfect! The beautiful home, the property, the contemporary decor and the host was just incredible, thoughtful and kind! Alway had a treat waiting for us, so perfect!
This house is perfect for two families. Open and spacious with a casita as an extra room for teens or another couple. The sliding doors open to the pool area and invites a wide-open communal space for all to enjoy. 10-15 min from downtown and a quiet neighborhood. The property is well-equipped and managed with amazing responsiveness and communication with the rental agency for any and all needs; extremely accommodating. Would definitely stay here again! frontthe rental property
We stayed here for a week at Thanksgiving. The Host had water and treats waiting for us when we arrived and later in the week dropped off cookies!!! Beautiful home, comfortable beds, great backyard. The kitchen was well stocked and also had dog bowls available if needed. If I had to say there was something negative is that one of the guest rooms did not have a closet but we made due as the other had more than enough space. While the location offers easy access to stores, downtown Palm Springs, there can be some traffice sounds that may be noticeable at times. It didn't bother me or my guests and we spent a lot of time in the backyard.
