Ocotillo Retreat - Family Home W Pool, Spa, Cold Plunge & Sauna
THE SPACE:
Ocotillo Retreat, one of our flagship Palm Springs retreats, has been fully refreshed in preparation for Fall 2025. The living room now features a plush Restoration Hardware (RH) Cloud Couch and shuffleboard table. Outside offers a RH outdoor couch set, double and single chaise loungers, fire pit table, and two cantilever umbrellas for all-day shade. Enjoy a wellness-focused garage with an infrared sauna and cold plunge (+ ice machine), yoga gear, plus 55-inch smart TVs in four bedrooms!
An inviting, family-friendly, interior-designed retreat with room to relax and a stunning pool. Less than five minutes from Downtown Palm Springs. The open, spacious living area encourages gathering and connection. Floor-to-ceiling windows and very high ceilings bring in beautiful natural light. The patio is made for relaxing with a pool and spa.
Inside, the RH Cloud Couch anchors the living room for movie nights. The kitchen and dining area make cooking and sharing meals easy. There is a smart TV in the living room. Four of the five bedrooms now have 55‑inch smart TVs. Every bed features a Quince linen duvet.
Outside, the new RH seating with Sunbrella fabric seats the whole group. Choose a spot in the sun on the double chaise. Or find shade under the two cantilever umbrellas. Four loungers with umbrellas line the corner. Evenings invite conversation under the stars or a soak in the spa.
The garage is now a wellness hangout. Enjoy an infrared sauna, yoga mats, resistance bands, meditation stools, and a lounge area with a couch. A professional-grade ice maker keeps poolside drinks cold and is perfect for filling the cold plunge during group sessions. Guests must complete a liability waiver before using the equipment.
Two of the five bedrooms offer direct pool access. The primary suite includes a soaking tub. Fast, reliable Wi‑Fi averages about 135 Mbps down and 40 Mbps up and can handle a few Zoom calls at once. The pool and spa include two private mini-pools. There are five ceiling fans and closets in all bedrooms.

NEIGHBORHOOD INFO:
The Palm Springs community is vibrant and full of things to do. Downtown offers great restaurants and shopping. The city continues to invest in making Palm Springs a top destination. Ocotillo sits in Tahquitz River Estates. The area began in the 1930s with small Spanish Revival homes. It later grew to include modernist homes, quirky motor courts, hotels by Howard Lapham and Hugh Kaptur, an Albert Frey church, and what may be Palm Springs’ first modernist residence from 1933 by William Gray Powell.
Please note. Per city regulations, all guests must sign the Palm Springs Statement of Rules and Regulations and the Good Neighbor Brochure before their stay. These rules are mandatory. Fines start at 500 dollars for violations. Repeated violations may bring additional fines and eviction. By booking, you agree to these terms.

First place that we’ve booked two years in a row
This is one of our favorite listings. We’ve booked multiple houses for the past 15 years & this is the first place we’ve booked twice. That’s how accommodating this home is. We brought our family & invited our friends that have their own respective families as well & this space is perfect for our big group.

Great Stay
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The property manager was extremely responsive. The pool is very unique and ideal for families with small kids who are not confident swimmers yet. Unlike other pools where there is risk that kids will wander outside and fall in this pool requires a boost up for a toddler to access the water.

Weekend Work Stay
We rented Ocotillo retreat for an out of town event we attended in Palm Springs. We loved the property. The host was so accommodating and was always available to help us if we had a question. The property was exactly what we thought it would be and it was perfect for our stay. The rooms were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for all of us.

one of the best listings I’ve ever rented
This was honestly one of the best listing I’ve ever rented. I’ve been renting property every year in Palm Springs for the past 10+ years & this was our favorite. Each room was accommodating & the pool was raised so it was added peace of mind for our kiddos. I highly recommend this listing to anyone that’s on the fence. Definitely worth it!

Property gorgeous
The property is gorgeous. However, not clean. The pool was dirty and dusting all over the backyard. You can tell no one washed it down. The fact that they don’t even have a number to contact management. It’s only email and text messaging. Additionally bugs inside the house and even spiders in bedsheets. The cooking oil had tiny mosquitoes it was disgusting. Pots and pans not washed properly. Please make sure to read contract before signing. Very deceiving especially the fact that I declined insurance, but was charged. I can go on, but I’m sure you get the point. This was a family vacation.
