Vacation Rentals in Palm Springs, California

Looking for Palm Springs vacation homes? You've come to the right place. This California desert town used to be a hideaway for Hollywood's movie stars, and up until recently, was a hot spot for retirees. However, younger vacationers are discovering Palm Springs, too. But the city itself hasn't changed all that much - hiking the canyons, golfing on courses drenched with beautiful desert scenery, and filling in the gaps with museum tours, shopping, and dining, is still the main idea here. Palm Springs is where luxury meets hippy and where the mountains meet the desert. Fortuantely, your Palm Springs lodging options are just as varied as the things to see and do. They range from Palm Springs luxury villas to golf resort condos to pet-friendly cabins.

But before you arrive in your rental, check out our mini guide to the area:

Guests of Palm Springs accommodations are no doubt a fan of nature, as Palm Springs is squeezed by the San Jacinto State Park and miles of sunny desert. If you've got some adventure in you, check out San Jacinto Mountain (you can ski or climb it, depending on the weather), go for a hike in Palm Canyon or the Indian Canyons, and count the palm trees at the sprawling Coachella Valley Preserve. For a more relaxing time, get in touch with nature with a ride on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway or tour the cactus-filled Moorten Botanical Garden.

But it's not just nature lovers who will love Palm Springs condos and vacation houses. There's also the Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Springs Air Museum (featuring one of the biggest collection of World War II aircrafts), the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, and nearby Palm Desert to explore. As well, Palm Springs golf resort condos are popular - and with top-rated, scenic courses like the Indian Canyons Golf Resort and the Escena Golf Club, is it any wonder?

Whatever you plan to do (or not do), make sure to book one of the Palm Springs cabins, condos, or resort houses liksted here. For the winter, summer, or even fall or spring - Palm Springs is a four-season destination!
