An introduction to THE TWIN PALMS ART HOUSE, PALM SPRINGS.
Across this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom luxe home located in the sort after mid-century modern Twin Palms neighborhood (also known as the Twin Palms Estates) in central south Palm Springs, you’ll experience our commitment to celebrating the culture, art and color of this iconic little city.
With new AC, each room is fully appointed with generous bed-sizes (2 with California King, 1 with Queen), fresh linens, large flatscreen smart TVs, welcome gifts/toiletries, and a bathroom with hairdryers, body, hand, face and makeup towels, shampoo and conditioner, fresh soaps and lotion.
A completely private pool, hot tub, outdoor rain shower and patio with outdoor lounge and sunbeds will quickly get you and your crew into the Southern Californian vibe, while a separate outdoor BBQ and al fresco dining area will have you cooking up a storm, whatever meal of the day you want to take it all outside.
And when you do adventure out, the house is located in the midcentury modern mecca of Twin Palms, and Twin Palms is itself located in the popular South Palm Springs hotel and dining precinct, placing you super close to some of the hottest restaurants, coffee houses and cocktail bars in town, as well as being close to downtown, which is just 2 miles away.
And to maximize your time and to boost your experience of this beautiful place we've authored (hopefully) useful guides to the Twin Palms neighborhood and its history, to the best super local eateries and information on our proximity to key local and regional destinations all of which is available to everyone on our website.
For those seeking the outdoors, it’s only a short skip from The Twin Palms Art House to some of the best hiking trailheads, pristine Indian territories and canyons, golf courses and other outdoor amenities. For those with the festival vibe, the host venue for Splash is walking distance from the house and Highway 111 that takes you directly to iconic Coachella and Stagecoach is right around the corner. For the architecture buffs, when at The Twin Palms Art House you’re right in the thick of midcentury modern design and it's the perfect base for any Modernism Week visit (it’s so central that the much-loved double-decker bus tour even passes by the house each festival!).
And even if you’re coming to Palm Springs while balancing work and pleasure, one gig fiber-to-the-house wifi with a mesh booster system pushes high speed internet to every corner of the property so Zooming by the pool is definitely a thing, or if you prefer a more traditional space, the office and sitting room off the Master Suite has you (colorfully) covered, and includes two extra large dedicated TV monitors, a printer and shredder, along with basic stationary.
Making The Twin Palms Art House your Palm Springs home base, we think you’ll feel 100% part of all that makes Palm Springs one of the coolest little cities in America. We look forward to hosting you and your crew (or just you too!) next time you venture into the beautiful Socal desert.

MORE THINGS TO KNOW
EASY REGISTRATION PROCESS
When you book your stay in Palm Springs, there are a few simple things to take care of to make sure everything goes smoothly and follows local rules. Around 2-3 weeks before you arrive (or right away if it's a last-minute booking), we'll get in touch to start a quick online registration. We’ve invested a user-friendly online registration solution to make sure everyone is best positioned to comply with the rules set down by the City of Palm Springs in relation to short-term vacation rentals (and of course we’re always here to help!).!
What's involved:
RENTAL AGREEMENT & HOUSE RULES: You (the main guest) will sign an electronic rental agreement that includes all the house rules for The Twin Palms Art House. You can already find these rules available to read online here.
IDENTITY VERIFICATION: For your security and ours, all adult guests will need to complete a quick identity verification through Stripe, which is very secure and helps keep prices down.
GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY BRIEFING: You'll have a mandatory (but super quick), 5-minute virtual catch-up via Google Meet with the adults in your group the day before you arrive to go over Palm Springs "Good Neighbor" guidelines.
Other things to know:
WATER HEATING: Pool and/or spa heating can be arranged for a cost-recovery based fee. Feel free to inquire for more information but we'll actively check-in with you before your stay to make you know your options. We take a simple user pays approach to this which avoids those who don't want/need water heating subsidizing those that do (which is unfair) and allows a price signal to keep resource use to a level closer to true need (climate change is very real). In our view, the "alternative" (i.e. building the costs of heating into our baseline pricing and charging everyone) is so unfair to non-users and so irresponsible to the environment that we don't see it as a feasible alternative at all, meaning our alternative would be no heating being made available.
QUIET HOURS: Palm Springs, including our neighborhood, has quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM daily.
ACCESSIBILITY: While the front entrance has a few steps, the back entrance offers level access to the house, and the entire home is on one level.
SAFETY & SECURITY: Our neighborhood is very safe, and for extra peace of mind, the house has a security system, alarms (smoke and carbon monoxide), fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and four outward-facing exterior security cameras
OUR VALUES: We strongly believe in diversity and nondiscrimination, and we're committed to treating everyone with respect and kindness.
NO PETS: We've made the difficult decision to have a no-pets policy at the house. We appreciate your understanding!
NO SMOKING: Smoking is strictly not allowed inside the property. If you smoke outside, please be at least 15 feet away from any entrance. This includes all forms of smoking, like tobacco, vapes, etc.
