"The Sonny & Cher House" Spanish Estate on the Mesa Near Golf & Hiking.

About the property
P.S. City ID #1256 | Primary Renter must be at least 25 years of age

Welcome to Villa Carmelita.

Glamorous Palm Springs Villa with strong ties to Old Hollywood. Once owned by Sonny & Cher. Very private walled and gated estate in The Mesa neighborhood - a quiet residential hideaway nestled along the base of the San Jacinto mountains. Gorgeous center courtyard with a large pool surrounded by chaise lounges, alfresco dining, and a living area with a fireplace and a daybed. Spa. Outdoor shower. Built-in BBQ grill. Ping Pong Table. Fabulous mountain views. Beds: K, K, Q, Q, Bunk = F, T

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE
The entire property has been completely walled & gated for privacy. As you walk in you’ll be greeted by the front yard, where you'll find a fountain and a patio with alfresco dining - perfect for enjoying your morning coffee! At the center of the house, you'll find a gorgeous courtyard with a large pool surrounded by chaise lounges, alfresco dining, an outdoor living area with a daybed and a fireplace, and plenty of occasional seating. To the side of the house, you’ll find a spa, a built-in BBQ grill, a ping pong table, and an outdoor shower.



INTERIOR LIVING SPACE
As you walk into the front doors, you’ll step into a foyer with a staircase that will lead you up to the main living area. The living area - which features comfortable seating and a flatscreen TV - is open to the dining area and the fabulous kitchen. Walls of glass throughout the living area let the light pour in and open up to reveal the fabulous center courtyard.

Optional Pool heating is $75/night. The Pool will be heated to 86 degrees, if you would like it warmer there will be an additional cost.

SLEEPING QUARTERS
All bedrooms have been beautifully styled like a boutique hotel and feature a hotel-quality mattress. The Primary Bedroom, off the living room, features a King bed, an ensuite bath with a separate shower and soaking tub, and direct access to the courtyard pool area. The Primary Bedroom is the only bedroom with direct access to the main living area in the house. The four Guest Rooms are spread out throughout the property, with external doors, not directly connected to the main living area.

Two of the Guest Rooms are located next to the main front door - one is to the left and one is to the right. Both of these bedrooms have Queen beds, a flat-screen TV, and an ensuite bath. They also have their own external doors, they're not directly connected to the main living area.

The two other Guest Rooms are located in the center courtyard, but away from the main house - and also with external doors. One Guest Room features a flat-screen TV and a King bed, the other Guest Room features bunk beds (a Full and a Twin). Both share easy access to the Guest Bathroom also located in the courtyard.

DISCLAIMER
The house is set up like a boutique hotel. There is only one bedroom off of the main living area. The rest of the bedrooms exit to the outside, this is not the ideal situation for children. Also, there is a large set of stairs going to the main living area with the kitchen, dining room, living room, and outdoor pool area. Anyone with mobility restrictions may find this a bit difficult. This is the perfect setup for those that like the ability to have some privacy and space from the other guests.

LOCATION
This property is tucked at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains in The Mesa neighborhood - just minutes from the world-famous Palm Canyon Drive. Casual eateries, fine dining, coffee spots, ice cream parlors, art galleries, and specialty boutiques are all just a stone's throw away. You'll love staying in this quiet, peaceful area and having quick access to all that Palm Springs has to offer.

Great property, great management
Rented this gorgeous home for a girls’ weekend and it was perfect! It is set up well for adults to have their own space but also wonderful and large community spaces. The highlight is definitely the gorgeous pool area, though we also thoroughly enjoyed the comfortable living room and incredibly well-stocked kitchen. The property managers we absolutely fantastic and helped us out whenever we needed assistance. 10/10 and I would definitely rent again!

Perfect Space for Couples!
We rented the house to spend time with our adult children. The two private Casita-style bedrooms were great for the kids and their partners to have space that felt private and yet connected. The master bedroom is spacious. The fourth bedroom was private for a friend who joined us. The kitchen is VERY well stocked! The pool is great. The house is private and yet convenient to everything! Jeremy was very responsive and great with communication.

Over priced
Great layout and perfect for entertainement. Tastefully decorated in an upscale neighberhood. BUT totally missed the marked on cleaness: two of the bathrooms had serious stains, so were two of the bedsheets. The laudry room was a mess with lint and spider webs. For the price paid and cleaning fee charged ahead of time, this was a total miss!!

Thanksgiving in Palm Springs
Our multi-generation family of adult kids through grandparents very much enjoyed relaxing at the beautiful Villa Carmelita. Floating in the pool, watching football and cooking the turkey was a perfect way to blend vacation with a traditional Thanksgiving day. The layout of the house allowed us plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to spread out and take in the natural beauty surrounding us. We are so grateful for this lovely home away from home. Hope to be back and make this a new tradition!

The Perfect Vacation!
If you're thinking about staying at Villa Carmelita, do not hesitate! This home is wonderful. Private, quiet, open concept with every amenity you could want in PS! I've never seen a kitchen so stocked in a rental before. The house was even more impressive than the pictures. The check-in/out was easy and the home overall was just so beautiful. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of towels (including pool towels), and the house is so big that it never felt crowded at all. There is a large refrigerator/freezer for ice cold drinks, lots of board games for family fun nights, large dining areas for everyone to gather plus covered parking and a private front gate. I would definitely return here...we didn't want to leave! Thank you for the lovely stay.

A perfect getaway
I can’t say enough nice things about this home and our experience. I planned a getaway for my partners 40th birthday and it took me quite a while to find the right home for this special occasion. The layout of home and the amenities it offers made for a perfectly relaxing and enjoyable time. The pool and pool area, the living spaces, kitchen and just about every element was perfect. This is a very secure property in a quiet neighborhood. With the exception of dinner out one night, we didn’t want or need to leave the property for three full days. Thank you Rick for warm welcome and speedy check-in. I would love to have a reason to come back to Palm Springs for another stay.
