PS Moondog: Hip Iconic Architecture and Popular Palm Springs Neighborhood

Spin your way into the hip Palm Springs vacation rental – PS Moondog. This modernized midcentury classic was originally owned by renowned DJ Alan Freed, who coined the term 'rock and roll' for his 1950's radio show “The Moondog Rock and Roll Hour.” Set against a beautiful view of the San Jacinto mountains, this home is a classic Palmer and Krisel designed, Alexander build on an expansive lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Cool and colorful interiors, classic midcentury modern style and a large back yard with lots of amenities, it's the perfect place to cool your jets and relax into the Palm Springs groove.

The home opens with all of the shared living space to the right and a hallway to the left that leads to all of the sleeping quarters. An open concept floor plan, the well-stocked kitchen offers a six-burner stove with side oven/warming station and granite island with counter seating and casual indoor dining for up to 6. The living room enjoys the classic post and beam ceiling, gas fireplace, and sliding glass doors from both the living room and kitchen/dining area. The living room has a large flat screen TV and satellite cable and plenty of seating and lounging.

Down the hall to the left, you have two bright, inviting guest rooms both with queen beds that share the remodeled guest hall bathroom with a walk-in, tiled shower. In the hallway, there is a stackable washer and dryer you may use to refresh your pool towels (provided) or that Teenie, Weenie, Yellow, Polka Dot Bikini! The primary suite sits at the back of the home and offers a King size bed, built-in cabinets, a large flat screen TV with satellite cable, remodeled ensuite bathroom with walk-in tiled shower and glass slider access to the rear yard.

Outside has a Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On with a large bocce ball court, a generous sparkling pool (with a brand new attached spa just added this winter of 2026), outdoor shower and plenty of room for your Hound Dog to roam. Exiting off the kitchen is your propane gas BBQ for easy access and a comfortable new seating area to lunge or catch up on life with your friends and family as well as a separate dining table for those sunset dinners and meals under the stars.
