Sun Splash Retreat - Donald Wexler Design

This iconic Donald Wexler–designed mid‑century modern vacation home sits at the end of a quiet cul‑de‑sac and includes a private casita that was part of Wexler's original architectural vision. Recently refreshed and now boasting a fully remodeled pool, brand‑new in‑ground spa, and plenty of outdoor living spaces, this Palm Springs vacation rental blends authentic mid‑century character with modern comfort in all the right ways.

The interiors are thoughtfully styled to complement the home's original lines, concrete countertops, and signature mid‑century details. It's a single‑level, sun‑filled retreat with an open floor plan that makes gathering, relaxing, and entertaining feel effortless. Every room carries a mix of modern updates and vintage charm that celebrates the home's history while still offering a clean, comfortable, and inviting space for your Palm Springs getaway.

The main house features a well‑equipped kitchen with essential appliances and generous prep space, perfect for cooking at home between poolside afternoons. The adjacent dining area flows into the bright living room, where you can cozy up by the gas fireplace or stream your favorite shows on the smart TV. A dramatic sliding wall of glass opens to the backyard, creating the seamless indoor‑outdoor living experience that defines the Palm Springs lifestyle.

Step outside to your private desert oasis, now better than ever. The newly remodeled pool sparkles under the sunshine, and the brand‑new in‑ground spa offers the perfect spot for evening relaxation beneath the mountain views. The backyard also features an outdoor couch lounge with a propane fire pit, multiple seating areas, a propane BBQ grill, and a fully enclosed yard ideal for sunbathing, stargazing, and enjoying the warm desert breeze.

The primary bedroom includes a king‑size bed, en‑suite bathroom, and sliding glass doors that open directly to the pool and spa. Two additional guest bedrooms offer queen‑size beds and share a hallway bathroom with a shower‑tub combo.

The private casita is a true highlight, offering a cozy poolside retreat with its own living area, full‑size bed, sleeper‑sofa full‑size bed, TV, sink, and bathroom. The original blue tile - still sparkling after all these years - adds a playful pop of vintage mid‑century charm. With its close proximity to the pool and its own dedicated space, the casita is perfect for guests seeking a little extra privacy.

This home is a quintessential Palm Springs escape - fun, stylish, and full of character. Managed by Poolside Vacation Rentals, it offers the ideal blend of mid‑century design, modern amenities, and resort‑style outdoor living.
