THE SPACE — WHERE INDOOR MEETS OUTDOOR

Step inside and you’ll immediately feel the openness and light that define desert living done right. Vaulted ceilings in the main living area enhance the airy feel, while expansive glass sliders seamlessly connect the interior to your private backyard retreat. Bright pops of color and unique artwork throughout create visual interest without feeling cluttered — every detail has been chosen with both aesthetics and livability in mind.

The home features a single-level layout that makes navigating the space easy and accessible. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice how thoughtfully the flow works: the living areas open naturally to the outdoor space, and every room feels purposeful. This is a home designed for how people actually live — cooking, entertaining, relaxing, and spending time together.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS

Master Bedroom: Start your mornings in this serene retreat featuring a king-sized bed and streaming-ready Smart TV. The real gem? Direct access to the backyard and pool — wake up and step right into your private oasis. The ensuite bathroom is your private sanctuary, complete with a luxurious steam room and shower where you can unwind after a day of exploring.

Bedroom 2: Comfortable queen-sized bed, perfect for couples or solo travelers wanting extra space. This room shares access to the full bathroom with Bedroom 3.

Bedroom 3: Another inviting queen-sized bed in a thoughtfully designed space. Shares the full bathroom (equipped with a shower and privacy glass) with Bedroom 2.

The bathrooms are modern, clean, and well-equipped with everything you need. Extra pillows and blankets are provided so you can customize your comfort level.

KITCHEN & DINING — COOK LIKE YOU LIVE HERE

The sleek, fully equipped kitchen is a pleasure to work in. You’ll find modern appliances including stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and freezer. Whether you’re planning a simple breakfast or entertaining a group, there’s space and equipment to make it happen. The dedicated coffee and cocktail station is stocked with a ground coffee maker — perfect for your morning ritual or evening wind-down.

Elegant dishware and glassware are provided, removing the guesswork of hosting or entertaining. The open-plan dining area comfortably seats 8 at the main table, with an additional 6 seats at the counter — great for families who want to cook together or groups who want to share meals.

Cooking basics like oils, salt, and spices are on hand to get you started. For those planning longer stays or special occasions, you have full autonomy to create memorable meals in a well-appointed space.

OUTDOOR OASIS — YOUR PRIVATE DESERT PARADISE

Your private backyard is where memories are made. The newly installed heated pool invites you to take a refreshing dip, while the in-ground hot tub provides the perfect spot to unwind under the desert sky. Beautiful mountain views create a serene backdrop for relaxation.

The gas BBQ is ready for entertaining — fire it up and dine alfresco at the 8-seat patio table with plenty of outdoor furniture for lounging. A dedicated shaded lounge area provides respite from the sun, and sun loungers let you soak up the warmth at your own pace. This is outdoor living at its best.

LOCATION & NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

Located just a 5-minute drive from vibrant Downtown Palm Springs, The Sunset House puts you steps away from world-class dining, unique shopping, art galleries, and the energy of one of California’s most iconic desert destinations. You’ll have easy access to the area’s top attractions without sacrificing the peace and privacy of your own retreat.

The convenient location means you can be downtown exploring a new restaurant or browsing galleries in minutes, then return home to your personal oasis just as quickly. Best of all, free parking on the premises means no hunting for spots or worrying about parking fees.

AMENITIES & THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES

High-speed Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace ensure you can work remotely if needed — no sacrificing productivity for relaxation. Streaming-ready Smart TVs in both the master bedroom and living area let you unwind with your favorite shows. An indoor fireplace adds warmth and ambiance on cooler evenings.

Bed linens are fresh and inviting. Laundry facilities (washer and dryer) are available if you’re staying longer. Board games add entertainment for group gatherings. For guests traveling with little ones, a crib and high chair are available upon request. Luggage dropoff is offered so you can arrive at your own pace.

Air conditioning keeps the interior comfortable year-round, while heating ensures cozy evenings. Long-term stays are welcome, and the private entrance gives you complete autonomy and privacy.

“Positive: We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Palm Springs home! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the owners take tremendous pride in the property. The house was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel both stylish and welcoming. The home was stocked with all the extras we could have needed, which made our stay incredibly comfortable and convenient. The neighborhood felt very safe, quiet, and well-maintained, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. The bathrooms were truly luxurious, with gorgeous showers that felt spa-like, and the beds were some of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in while traveling. Every detail seemed carefully considered to create a high-end guest experience. The hosts were also fantastic—friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Palm Springs. A perfect 5-star experience from start to finish!”

“Loved the home. We had a great stay! Everything we needed was provided and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The home was a short uber ride from the downtown area. We ran into a couple of minor issues and Joshua’s communication was extremely prompt and professional. I would recommend!”

“Positive: It was spacious, very comfortable and private. The surroundings and location were excellent. The Apek staff were available each time I contacted them and were always courteous. Negative: I paid to have the pool heated for two consecutive days. But it felt much cooler on day 2.”

“Positive: The home was well appointed, the master bathroom was perfect with both a steam shower and walk in shower that had floor to ceiling glass to the beautiful back yard and pool. The pool was so fun, perfect for our family to have a relaxing getaway. We'll be back for sure! Negative: It was so great overall! The door to the washer/dryer was locked during our stay, but not a big deal at all. Be ready with the access code for the gated community when you arrive!”

“We had an amazing stay at this property during a friend’s trip to Palm Springs! The location was perfect and the property was just as advertised. The only small hiccup was a misunderstanding about the local ordinance prohibiting any music from being played out by the pool. This is of course not under control of the property owner, but it wasn’t clear fem the listing that all outdoor music was prohibited, just that there were designated quiet hours. Other than this tiny detail, we wouldn’t have changed a thing! Definitely recommend”

“Positive: Loved the layout of the home, the backyard pool area, clean and well equipped. Negative: All very good. Twice the property management made errors..the home wasn’t accessible when promised and I paid for pool heat 5 days, it was off a day early, of course the day I had my family and grandkids visiting. Halfway through the day management responded and turned it on, but it didn’t heat fast enough to be pleasant that day. They left it on for another day, but was still disappointing . Bring extra paper products, TP, paper towels and napkins.. Otherwise, all was really a good stay”

“We had a great stay at this Airbnb. The check-in and check-out instructions were very clear and easy to follow, which made the whole process smooth. The pool was clean and perfect for relaxing, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and enjoy meals at home. The location was also ideal — close to shops, restaurants, and everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.”

“Positive: Es fehlt an nichts, alles sauber und alles was man braucht ist vorhanden Negative: Die Matratzen in den Betten sind leider viel zu weich, daher jeden morgen Rückenschmerzen und nie ausgeschlafen”

“Exactly as described. Perfect place for a getaway with lots of local things to do.”

“Our stay for Coachella weekend was amazing! The house is perfectly situated in a nice gated community. The house was very clean and just as described. It was the perfect getaway after long festival nights. Our group had a relaxing time. The host we're very responsive and helped us with every question we had.”

“Positive: Ein außergewöhnlich komfortables, sauberes Haus in wunderschöner „Gated Community“ Lage, perfekte Größe für bis zu 5/6 Personen. Garten/Pool als besonderes Highlight. Den hier schon öfter erwähnten Fluglärm muss man natürlich akzeptieren, es überwiegen aber weitaus die positiven Eindrücke.”

“Great vacation home! Plenty of space and the pool/ hot tub were great!”

“Great stay! Easy check in and check out experience! Amenities were top notch! Thank you!”

“We had a great family vacation in this house. The neighborhood was well designed, quiet and friendly. We had our dog with us and the private fenced backyard was perfect. There is a community green space that was reachable from the yard…very lovely. We paid extra to heat the pool, heated hot tub was included in the rental. The house is close to the airport but the plane traffic wasn’t bothersome and I think it is restricted at night. We would be happy to stay here again!”

“My party (adult son, teen daughter and my partner as well as our two dogs) all had a great time. The place was immaculate and well equipped with great bath and pool towels, bed linens and kitchen supplies. The beds were amazingly comfortable. We enjoyed our time at the pool and spa, the view from the backyard, the grounds, the neighborhood (quiet and safe). Great stay and Joshua was always very responsive and attentive. Look forward to coming back. 10/10 all around.”

“Nice spacious place in a quiet part of town with everything that is needed for any length stay. Not full of décor so suitable for families and pets. Team was super responsive.”

“We loved the kitchen, pool, and steam shower! We used Instacart to deliver groceries & wine. It was great!”

“Positive: Location great. Cleanest house we have ever rented. The property managers were amazing. Communication was great. I would give them 1000 stars. Fully equipped.”

“Accomodations were larger than it looked in the picture. We booked last minute so the rate was more favorable. Pretty good kitchen. Lots of appliances. Nice bathrooms with lots of personal care products. Jacuzzi was nice as was the fireplace. instructions on check in and usage of amenities was not great but Joshua was extremely responsive. very nice stay (but you definitely need a car). Thank you.”

“This was an amazing place to stay. Everything was easy and spectacularly clean. Bed was super comfortable. Loved the view of the mountains from the jacuzzi. We will definitely be back!”

“We had a good trip. This was just what we were looking for.”

“The house was lovely and large, located in a compound. Definitely need a car as not much is walking distance. Comfortable beds. Great communication”

“Great house. Lovely backyard. Close drive to downtime. Would stay here again! 👍🏼👍🏼🤗”

“Our stay at this house was great…we had everything we needed and had a lot of space.”

“Incredible! A absolutely surfing place that is well worth the cost. We couldn’t be happier with this stunning home! Absolutely a five-star experience. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Palm Springs. A quick drive to Joshua Tree and Indian Canyon. Wow.”

“The stay was pretty much perfect! The wind wasn’t great, north Palm Springs is a bit windy. Josh addressed all of our early issues very quickly and was able to ensure our getaway was relaxing! Thanks Josh!”

“We had a great time at Joshua’s place. It was just me, my husband and my dog wanting a pool-filled, peaceful mini vacay which is what we got. And we were close enough to town that we could go grab a bite and cocktails. Beds were super comfy, great kitchen, loved it. Great stay!!”

“Great location, in a very peaceful area and very private - enjoyable few days in Palm Springs and so easily commutable to go out and look at the sites, eat etc.”

“Great place to stay while in Palm Springs. !0 minute drive/ride from downtown and everything you'd need. Very private from the moment you enter the community then into your home and pool. We rented for a relaxing birthday weekend and had such a great time just being by the pool with a great view of the mountains. Highly recommend for any occasion/getaway you're looking for.”

“I left there today and already want to go back. Everything was neat and clean. Quiet peaceful neighborhood. Joshua has great communication and responds immediately. I will definitely be returning to this house. Thanks again!”

“This place was so cute! My girls and I wanted a little get away, somewhere to relax and go on little outings and this place was perfect! So peaceful and the pool was amazing! Joshua was so nice and communicative throughout our trip, even before and after. Would definitely stay here again!”

“First of all ,I would like to thank Josh for all the help he provided us after our few hiccups, Him and his team went above and beyond training to make our stay enjoyable and memorable, I highly recommend this property, and most definitely looking forward to stay at his property again. Josh and Israel, thank you very much 🙏🏻😎”

“Fantastic stay! The house had GREAT amenities. My favorites being the comfy beds, the grill right next to the kitchen, the easy to use steam shower and garage access to protect my car from the heat. Also, this location is so close to downtown with shops and restaurants galore! As well as the airport, a 10 minute drive. Less then a mile from Toucans, I recommend the Sunday night show! Thank you for a great stay!”

“Very clean, use of the garage was great for convience, access and parking our vehicle out of the sun. The pool was great & peaceful, we spent hours in the pool everyday.”

“We enjoyed our stay! Quiet, clean, comfortable.”

“Negative: Bad water pressure”

“Great getaway! Joshua was very helpful and the house was great!”

“Joshua's Place was perfect for our family of 4, with space to spare. I downloaded the DACK app which made check-in smooth, and it had so much helpful info in the app re late/early checkout, dining recommendations and nearby activities. The house was large and open. Very clean, great amenities. The steam shower was luxurious. House was stocked with all essentials and comforts of home. Downtown Palm Springs was about a 5 minute drive from the home, as well as the Aerial Tram and Tahquitz Canyon hiking. A variety of grocery stores were all near by. Would stay at Joshua's Place again.”

“We LOVED the place, and enjoyed our stay very much The home is so very well equipped with everything you would ever need The only minor problem was that the cold water faucet in the back bedroom bathroom was loose and just turned around, so no cold water.. Valve just needs to be tightened. No big deal. Use of the garage was especially useful. We would stay here again! Highly recommended! - Jim and Mary Kay”

“Positive: The Location and facilities were perfect. 3 bedrooms, lots of outdoor space, lovely pool and hot tub. Great layout and thoughtful amenities- guest book, coffee, high quality toiletries , pool towels, games. We loved it and will definitely stay again if we ever find ourselves in need of an escape.”

“Positive: We liked the privacy of the place and esp. the backyard - with access from the master bedroom and the bathroom. The beds were ver comfortable. We also loved the products in the bathroom (Avalon Organics) which gave us this spa like feeling. The pool was nice and the hot tub heats up fast and gets nicely hot. Everything was very clean! We definitely want to come back! Negative: It was hard to figure out how one of the showers worked as one of the armatures to turn on the water was oddly positioned outside of the shower and it was not clear how to turn on the warm water. So we just used the second shower in the bathroom.”

“Very nice stay. House was clean, and comfortable. Well stocked with everything you could need or want. Nice gated community. Felt very secure and private. Great house!”

“We really enjoyed our stay at Joshua’s Airbnb! We absolutely loved the outdoor pool area, the surroundings were beautiful and the salt water pool with built in jacuzzi is a huge plus. The house was well equipped with comfy beds and the steam shower in the master bedroom was luxurious. It was truly the perfect place to relax and unwind for the weekend with family and friends, highly recommend this Airbnb. Thank you, Joshua!”

“This is a beautiful place, and the yard with the private pool and hot tub is just amazing ! We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The place is very clean and welcoming. We loved sitting outside on the lounge chairs and enjoying the views of the mountains. The host is very responsive and answers any questions quickly. All in all a great place and we will definitely be back!”

“Positive: Beautiful home equipped with everything anyone could need and then some! Very comfortable bed and linens, including towels. Our pups loved being able to go outside in the back without restriction. Negative: Living room furniture not particularly comfortable.”

“Positive: Clean, quiet, convenient”

“We had a great stay here with two adults and 2 small kids. The home is well stocked and immaculately clean. We especially appreciated not having to pack our highchair and pack and play as they were provided. We enjoyed the close proximity to downtown Palm Springs, parks and activities. The backyard/pool area is also quiet and peaceful. One word of advice: download the DACK app as indicated by the host prior to check-in. I didn’t do this, and had issues with check-in (my own fault). You can also use the app to control the thermostat etc which is quite handy. One minor annoyance is that you really can’t check-in early without paying a fee. We arrived 10 min early and had to wait for our door code to be active. Not a huge deal, but anyone with kids knows that they’re impatient little tyrants. (I did not ask to be let in early- and it’s very possible they would have let us). All of that to say, I do recommend staying here. The host is responsive and helpful, and the home is beautiful.”
