Enchanting Spanish Palm Springs Gem with Mountain Views - Private & Gated

The City of Palm Springs ID #990

Vista del Monte (View of the Mountain) is a private, walled and gated authentic 1940's Spanish hacienda home.

The home has been published and appeared in the book PALM SPRINGS LIVING. It was restored by San Francisco-based designers' Candra Scott and Anderson. The firm specializes in the restoration of landmark hotels and properties throughout the world.

The property has been totally renovated to its original pristine state and has been fully updated to include all modern conveniences while preserving the period aesthetics. The newest addition to the property is a completely remodeled saline pool. This attention to detail is rarely found in a rental property.

The home offers an open living plan with easy access to the expansive backyard with a covered patio, large pool, built-in Jenn-Air BBQ all set within a picturesque backdrop of mountain views, accented by the glowing lights of the PS Aerial Tramway.

The living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a French door leading to the covered patio, pool, and backyard. The large screen 48" Smart TV equipped with Roku, Hulu, free Netflix and Amazon Prime. If you prefer to get back to basics, you can enjoy our book library and a vast array of board games.

The open dining room has views to the front courtyard water fountain, living room fireplace and beyond to the backyard pool.

The fully equipped kitchen is complete with modern appliances as well as all amenities necessary for cooking and entertaining.

The home's floor plan has two separate bedroom wings and is bridged by the living room and dining room.

From the master suite, allow yourself to gaze out to the spectacular mountain and pool views. The pillow-top California king bed, luxury linens, 32" flat-screen TV and full en suite bathroom. To increase your comfort, bathrobes and throws are located in each bedroom closet. The en suite master bathroom includes a glass-enclosed shower and bathtub, where you will enjoy our complimentary Molton Brown bath products.

Let the queen bedroom welcome you with a pillow-top bed, luxury linens, robes and a flat-screen TV. Just outside your patio door, you will be enchanted by the tranquil splashing of the water fountain as it entices you to the cactus garden. Our collection is consistently expanding, and we currently showcase over 80 specimens collected from around the world. You just may be lucky enough to witness to one of nature's rare wonders; a cactus flower from one of our many varieties. There are two French doors that lead to the backyard and private patio, which is just steps away from the pool.

The second bathroom, adjacent to the queen bedroom features a beautifully designed glass enclosed tile shower with complimentary Molton Brown bath products and a luxurious rain-head faucet.

The light and airy twin bedroom features two twin beds and is perfectly suited for both children and adults.

The west-facing backyard and newly remodeled saline (salt) water pool are totally private with beautiful mountain views and a splashing water fountain. Enjoy the spectacular sunsets while sitting under the grapevine-lined arbors, grilling on the large Jenn-Air built-in BBQ, floating in the pool or relaxing with a refreshing drink. The citrus orchard containing orange, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon and limes provides our guests with fresh seasonal fruit. The covered patio contains a sofa, chairs and a table for intimate outdoor dining. There is an additional umbrella-covered dining table for larger groups. There are numerous cushioned chairs and chaise lounges for relaxing in the sun.

For bocce ball enthusiasts, you can enjoy playing the sport on our regulation-sized court.

Fabulous property
Amazing Spanish-influence home, meticulous property with attention to detail at every level. Home and backyard/pool area are a true paradise. He is located on a busy street which makes getting in/out a bit tricky. But worth it to enjoy this home! Owner and property manager are accessible and fantastic to deal with.

Had been wanting to stay here for years
Finally got around to booking this incredibly charming home. Had bookmarked it years ago when a popular antiques dealer had posted photos of it online. It's even more stunning in person, with such great attention to detail. The bonus being that it was by far the cleanest rental home we've stayed in and the host is very attentive and helpful. We'll be looking forward to many more visits.

Absolutely Wonderful!
An amazing place and experience. Both the inside and outside are beautiful and impeccably maintained. The outside at night is magical and relaxing - with the pool, mountains and lights. Everything was extremely clean. And the property owner and manager are the best I’ve ever experienced. Extremely attentive and responsive. A great place!!!

Gorgeous and elegant home
This home was a perfect place for five family members to shelter in place. The home is absolutely gorgeous, with an elegant Old California Spanish/Ranch feel evoked by the fantastic design, beautiful and whimsical decorations, and vintage furniture. This is not a place for those who only dig minimalist or "modern" style; no grey cabinets and white everywhere and marble counters here. This house is filled with rich wood and warm color. This is classic Southern California at its best. While stylized, it is effortless and this home also is very functional. A great kitchen, good beds and linens, and two lovely and very good bathrooms. And the backyard is wonderful. So many places to hang out and enjoy the view of the mountains, the pool, the huge amount of healthy succulents, and the abundant fruit trees, as well as enjoy games of bocce ball and grilling if so inclined. At night, with the lights on, it is pretty magical outside. We found no need to leave the property. The only downside is that the street the home is on is busy and can be noisy at times. It did not bother me but it might those who crave total silence. As a final note, the owner was lovely to deal with, as was the property manager; both very kind and accommodating.

Lovely Palm Springs home
My family and I loved every minute of our stay at this home. We very much appreciated the restoration and attention to details. The house was very clean, the owner was wonderful to work with, and we enjoyed the u-type floor plan which allowed for our family to spread out. The pool was perfect and grounds were well maintained. As previous reviewers noted, the house is on a main street which makes exiting and entering tricky -- we got used to it! Downtown is a quick 8 minute drive and there's an amazing sushi restaurant within minutes. We'd stay here again and recommend this house!

Awesome weekend getaway!
We were looking for a unique house for a weekend vacation in Palm Springs and Vista del Monte definitely fit the bill. You've probably already read many other reviews and I don't really have anything new to add but I'll just reiterate this is such a cool house, a real time machine, and the backyard with pool, bocce ball court, grill, and mature citrus trees are fantastic. Literally every plant on this property produces something edible from olive to orange trees, even grapes. We spent most of our time in the backyard. The layout of the house was also perfect, my wife and I plus our one year old stayed on one side and my mother-in-law had the queen bedroom on the other. The only downside I have is since it is an older house some of the doorways are low, I'm on the taller side at 6-6 so I had to be careful but it wasn't really an issue. Just something to keep in mind. If Vista del Monte happens to be available during your trip to Palm Springs I highly recommend staying there.
