Golf Valley

White, grey and gold geometric patterns create a decidedly mid-century motif with a bit of modern flare in this Little Beverly Hills villa. The lime and turquoise parasols over the pool loungers whisper of the 1950s, and tropical fern feature walls are straight from the days of Hollywood starlets holidaying in the sun. The open living area is super spacious, and sliding open the glass doors blends indoors and outdoors, so you can slip from the poolside to the ultra-modern kitchen seamlessly. There’s an additional snuggly living room for a bit of quiet downtime, a games room in the garage, and even a putting green if you want to practice your stroke before taking it to the world-class courses of Palm Desert, just a short drive away. Each of the bedrooms has its own access to the pool area with glass sliding doors letting that Palm Springs sunshine stream in, and you can slide straight from your bed to the shaded dining table to greet the day with a cup of joe by the palms.

Home truths:
* We recommend having a car to make the most of the area
* Each of the bedrooms has a king or queen bed, so two people have to share in each
* This place is pet friendly, but do let your host know in advance if you're bringing a furry friend
