About
PSID: 1703
If you want architectural history and significance, this is it. In 1957, when architect William Krisel and the Alexander Construction Company were developing the midcentury neighborhood of Sunmor, they personally selected this 1/3 acre lot to be the model home to attract buyers. With no neighbors on three sides of the property and panoramic 180-degree mountain views, you will agree they could not have chosen a more appropriate and stunning piece of land. PLAY MORE! is located in the neighborhood with the highest concentration of Alexander and other architecturally significant midcentury modern homes built between 1955 and 1961. This neighborhood has been remarkably preserved and restored home-by-home over the past 10+ years and now is one of the most sought after communities in the city.
This iconic Palm Springs home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an added sitting room off the master that takes full advantage of the mountain and pool views, and an open floor plan perfect for entertaining or family gatherings.
The remodeled kitchen includes granite counters, a gas range, a large stainless steel refrigerator, and a Kitchen-Aid dishwasher, plus high-end small appliances. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need to prepare, cook, and serve anything from snacks to gourmet meals.
The home has been furnished with authentic Swedish modern furniture, a perfect complement to the midcentury modern architecture. The dining table seats 8 and is perfect for enjoying a meal or a game of cards.
If lounging and gathering is on the agenda – the large sectional sofa allows you and your group to pile on together and watch tv or plan out the rest of your Palm Springs vacation. The entire South side wall of the living room is floor to ceiling windows and sliders that allow all that coveted desert sunlight to light up your day.
On the other side of that wall of glass is the oversized and private backyard with multiple seating areas, chaises, outdoor dining, covered patio space, and a large sparkling 15' x 30' salt-water pool and hot tub that get sun exposure all day long. And remember, there are no neighbors on three sides of you!
Whether you choose to spend your outdoor time in the heated pool and spa, BBQing, or lounging on the chaises – you are guaranteed breathtaking views and an enjoyable relaxing time.
Every year in February – during Palm Springs Modernism Week – the coveted neighborhood of Sunmor is a key stop on the city’s midcentury tour buses and bustles with eager architectural enthusiasts. Sunmor is one of the most preserved midcentury neighborhoods in all of Palm Springs.

A charming house with a well-equipped kitchen and a terrific backyard. Due to its proximity to the airport, we heard planes, but the noise wasn’t obtrusive and the neighborhood’s quiet and well-located. The management was incredibly responsive to issues that arose. We were sorry to leave!

A lovely property to visit. Several areas to put your feet up or work from home. The pool area is very inviting with beautiful views, umbrellas for those that don't want to sit in the sun and comfortable seating. The hot tub worked out great with the recycling water and quick heating option. All of the back of the house windows show off the excellent views of the mountains, whether from the primary bedroom, kitchen or living room.
A quick ride to endless, delicious dining but plenty of cooking tools to create eat at home meals.
The neighborhood, even though it is so close to the airport, never was a noise problem and it provided a nice walking route by well taken care of homes.
We used the back spare bedroom as an office, bringing in one of the outside round tables to use as a desk.
The management company is very helpful with any request. Hoping to book another vacation that they manage if this one is not available next time we visit.

This property was FABULOUS!!! We were looking for a place to spend our anniversary and wanted something quiet with our own pool and this place did just that and MORE! From the peaceful neighborhood (this is due to the strict city ordinance that doesn't allow music outside but we were aware of that prior to booking and it added to the relaxing feeling) to the AMAAAAZING views from the backyard to the tasteful design inside, there was no need to leave (except for groceries :) ). There were even lovely views right from the master bedroom! The backyard area was our own private retreat - a nice chaise lounge in the shade, lovely patio table to enjoy our meals at, beautiful landscaping, privacy fence, CLEAN pool, the list goes on! It was over 110 degrees while we were there and we still spent every day relaxing by and in the pool...inside, the home had mostly everything we needed to make our meals, the water pressure in the shower was great and the beds were comfortable. We wish we had a few more days there because it was our own piece of heaven; the getaway we had been waiting for!
Gorgeous Mountain Views!

We loved waking up to the gorgeous mountain views every morning and lounging in the expansive backyard. The kitchen was the most well stocked of almost any Airbnb we’ve ever stayed and had all sorts of lovely touches you don’t usually find. It had been really windy when we arrived and debris had blown in the pool. We contacted management to ask about extra pool cleaning. They were quick and courteous and by the time we were back from our hike the pool was sparkling clean. So appreciated! A great place to enjoy your getaway!

Spent three nights here and we loved it. The kitchen has all the creature comforts to whip up fabulous meals (we cooked most meals in), and the pool and hot tub were temperature-perfect. But, it's the architecture, decor and mountains views that stick with you. Stunning! Warning - I left wanting to redecorate my home! This is desert magic. Oh, and kid-friendly. Our kids want to make this an annual thing!

He was super kind and answered all of our questions about the property and Palm Springs. I slept in the master bedroom and had the best sleep in years. The pool and mountain views were amazing. Nice size backyard with plenty of seating. Fruit trees too. Close to downtown and airport The house had everything we needed. We all wished we would have stayed longer. I would recommend this house to anyone and we will be back. We had a wonderful relaxing holiday.

Only thing missing is a fire element in the back yard, but fortunately the weather was so mild we didn't even need it! Pool and spa were sparkling and perfect temperature. Beds were super comfy. An all around wonderful vacation home... we will return!

Manager's Response
Hi Anna, Thank you so much for your review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! We only wish that you would have contacted us about the shower pressure and BBQ during your stay so we could have helped. The BBQ has a valve under the grill that needs to be opened before it will ignite. For safety reasons it is shut off after each visit. The shower head was on an efficiency setting that can be adjusted on site. Should we have the pleasure of hosting you again please don't hesitate to call, even after-hours. Thanks again for being such a great guest. We hope to see you again soon!

Generally, it was great! However, the refrigerator started to act weird in the second day. All my ice creams in the freezer melted and drinks were not cold at all. I tried to change the settings but it didn't change. No cold drinks in Palm Springs is not a good experience. Hope you guys fix the problem for the next guests.
Thanks.
Manager's Response
Hi Jean -
We are so sorry to hear this and wish you'd called us and told us so we could have addressed it. We try to deal with all maintenance problems quickly and would have loved to know about this one. In fact, the fridge (which is only about a month old) was having a problem, and the renters who checked in the day you left told us about it once they realized it wasn't working properly. We had service people come out and fix it, so it's working fine now. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay other than this issue. Next time let us know and we'll get someone bring you some ice to cool your drinks!
Very stylish!
