The East Sonora Residence
Perks for the Parents
This bright and open Palm Springs residence with a pool and spa is well set up for those with young children and sleeps up to 6 + 1. When the owners remodeled it in 2015/16, they did everything they could to make it fun and safe for small children - not just a security fence for the pool but also doors that chime when you open them, so you know if kids are heading outside, and plenty of equipment and toys to help you travel light. Everything is child friendly but also beautifully designed and fun for parents too. Entertainment options include two 55'' 4k high-definition TVs: one in the living room and one in the Primary suite. The TVs have built-in Roku with all the streaming platforms so guests can log in with their credentials.
Why Kids Love it
The residence is packed with toys for kids under 5, plus a few for older kids, and is a great family space with a large living room, huge sofa, large, 100-year-old farmhouse dining table, and bar with counter stools. A travel crib, highchair, stroller, toys, riding toys, scooter, and sand and pool toys are available. All beds have waterproof mattress and pillow covers; the dining table, coffee table, and countertops are child friendly (so no need to worry about spills and scratches). The couch is fully washable. The central bathroom has a cast iron low profile tub that is easy to step in and out of. All bedrooms have block-out roller blinds and/or heavy blinds for a good night’s sleep.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 6 nights (except 7 nights over Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year and all of January through April. Shorter stays are considered Jan - Apr based on availability. Please check with host directly). There is an additional fee to heat the spa only ($35/day) or pool and spa ($79/day). Key features of the house include a pool, spa, outdoor dining set, a massive outdoor firepit for making smores, and a huge DG sandbox for kids, and nice sidewalks for scooters and bikes. The only part of the house that isn't currently kid-friendly is the garage; families are asked to keep doors to the garage locked. It is easy to do with keyless entry on the garage doors. The pool and spa meet all safety standards and the yard is fully fenced with padlock. A pool/spa security fence is available upon request for a small extra fee as it requires setup and breakdown. There are very few breakable items - those that are present can easily be moved to higher positions. There are ceiling fans in all rooms, water-saving toto toilets, and an AC and heating unit. There is keyless entry to the house.
About the Location
The residence is in the Sonora Sunrise neighborhood on the south end of Palm Springs. It is a quiet residential neighborhood with a mix of full-time residents, seasonal visitors, and vacation rental homes. Protected from the strong winds that the north side of town experiences, it is close to the mountains and away from the noise of the airport. The house is minutes (3 minute drive or ~10-15 minute walk) from grocery stores, a pharmacy, and numerous restaurants and retail stores. It is 4 blocks from highway 111 and close to the Saguaro, Ace, and Parker hotels. Kids also love the tramway. Palm Springs airport is 5 minutes away; the property is just under 2 hours’ drive from Los Angeles.

Style Notes
Spanish Living. The residence embodies the unique Spanish-style architecture that emerged in Palm Springs in the early 1970s. Completely remodeled in 2015/2016, it has been opened up to feel light, airy, and spacious. The kitchen and baths are modern, light, and sophisticated. The furnishings are simple but stylish and includes plenty of genuine vintage pieces of Mid Century modern design and more. All the chairs around the 100-year-old dining table are genuine 1970s Italian chrome Cidue chairs. There are custom-built chandeliers in kitchen and dining area and gold and retro accents to echo the style of the area. We love the open plan living space, the views of the mountains, and the contemporary art throughout.
