West Elm House 1 - The Alexander

This is not your typical Palm Springs vacation rental. Featured in the latest issue of Atomic Ranch Magazine, this one-of-a-kind mini midcentury resort was designed by West Elm (a division of Williams-Sonoma) as a showcase home for Modernism Week 2017, 2019, 2023, and 2025. Totally reimagined inside and out, the home features a private, resort-style yard with an oversized 7' deep concept pool, integrated waterfall spa, disco lights, tanning shelf, and a raised sun deck offering panoramic mountain views. Beds: K, K, K

Enjoy five fire features, three outdoor showers, an outdoor soaking tub, and a covered living pavilion complete with a wet bar, a built-in ice chest, and electric heaters. There's also a bocce ball court, Corn Hole, and a Universal EV charger (available for a fee). This place is off the charts—absolutely incredible.

HIGH STYLE CONCEPT HOUSE CREATED BY NATIONAL BRAND The West Elm House 1 - The Alexander was an idea house created to inspire and guide architecture and design enthusiasts in modernizing a midcentury home for today's way of life. It was on tour during Palm Springs Modernism Week 2017 and has been featured in Atomic Ranch and California Homes Magazine. Treat yourself to a vacation in this Living Show Room — the perfect “Midcentury to Next-Century Transformation” of an iconic 1950s home originally built by the Alexander Construction Company and then remodeled by Solterra Builders. The Design Team from West Elm used their product line of organic, handcrafted, sustainably sourced sofas, tables, beds, lighting, and accessories to furnish this classic home (circa 1958).

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES Completely walled for privacy, the entire property feels like an upscale resort with its large concept pool area, outdoor living pavilion, game areas, 5 fire features, 3 outdoor showers, al fresco dining, gas barbecue, and poolside chaise lounges. Sophisticated modern style meets 1950s sensibility to create this fabulous outdoor space that certainly has the Wow Factor. ** The pool will be heated upon request with an additional service fee. Please let us know if you'd like to heat the pool so we can ensure it is heated before your arrival. Spa heating is included with your rental at no extra cost ** ** Please Note: 1. This fee is not included in the quoted price on some booking platforms. 2. Pool heating may be added in minimum of 3 day blocks per request **

INDOOR LIVING SPACES Absolutely stunning remodel. This property has been lovingly restored, respecting its architectural pedigree while updating it for how we live today. The renovation preserved the original open-concept floor plan, clerestory windows, polished concrete floors, and iconic post-and-beam ceilings, while giving it a completely “next century” makeover with high-speed internet access, an updated climate-control system, 4 Smart Televisions, and iPod charging stations. The entire front and back of the house feature movable walls of glass that blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living in true Palm Springs-style. ** The term "Pets Allowed” or “Pets Accepted" means that we welcome dogs only. No other pets are allowed. **

SLEEPING QUARTERS All of the bedrooms feature ample storage, flat screen televisions, and comfortable king-sized mattresses by Casper, the latest in memory foam sleep systems. The primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet, sitting area, direct pool access, and an en suite bath with dual sinks and a deluxe shower that connects to the outdoors. The two king guest rooms feature their own courtyards - each with a private firepit lounge area, an outdoor shower, and gorgeous mountain views.

​​​​​​​THE LOCATION This spectacular home sits on a quiet residential street in the Little Beverly Hills neighborhood of Palm Springs - an intimate enclave of 84 single-family homes - all built by the Alexander Construction Company (w/ a few Meiselman's on the perimeter) between 1957 and 1959.

Mid-century home, centrally located.

Very nice place for smaller group or family. Clean and located on a quiet residential street. As a commercial rental, doesn't feel homey, which may or may not be a plus, depending on your point of view. We enjoyed the short bocce court and spa

Christmas in the Desert

West Elm House was a perfect place for us to be together as a family for Christmas! There were 5 of us; there was plenty of room for everyone to be together in one place comfortably and also many different areas inside and out for people to 'get away'. The kitchen had everything we could have wanted - which was important to us - since we would be eating 2 different holiday meals there. It was perfect!

Our Own Resort

Our family of four spent a wonderful five days and nights at the West Elm House: Alexander. It was like having our own resort. The pictures of the house were great and had our hopes up, but arriving in person it was even better that we expected. Inside and out. The house was great. Also, ACME, the property manager, was great. There was an item missing in the kitchen which they had delivered within a few hours. They checked in repeatedly too to see if we needed everything. We would definitely go back and would definitely recommend the West Elm House: Alexander.

An Amazing Staycation!

We visited during an extreme heat wave and were comfortable beyond our expectations! The house stayed cool, the pool was perfect, and we were still able to create an open feeling between the indoor and outdoor areas. The pool gets plenty of shade in the afternoons, but there was also still plenty of areas for sunbathing. The pool cleaner came twice while we were there, which was much appreciated and needed since the wind blows debris into the pool each night. The only issues we had were with the dishwasher, which didn’t seem to get anything clean, although it could’ve been user error. There were also very few kitchen utensils for cooking, but we made it work! First world problems. We would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Acme!

The most relaxing stay ever!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon arrival the house was spotless, the air conditioner had been turned on(the house was a cool 74°) the house was well-equipped and comfortable. The location was perfect, wonderful restaurants within walking distance. The management company provided excellent service. When we arrived I had noticed a little debris in the swimming pool from the night before, I made one phone call and left a message, they had a pool cleaning service out to clean the pool by the end of the day. They cleaned the pool on the daily basis. Our activities consisted of, lying in the pool, eating, playing Rummy cube and just having a wonderful time. The neighborhood was very quiet and that was very appreciated. I would recommend this house to anyone that wants to relax and have a great time.

Relaxing stay in Mid century modern dream

We had the best stay at the West Elm house! The home is absolutely beautiful and super clean. Beds are very comfy and the backyard is perfection! We loved how the pool had a nice shallow pad which was perfect for our kids, age 2 and 5. The pool area is shaded around 3pm, which was nice, even though it was only in the mid 80s during our stay. The flowering plants near the pool smelled wonderful which was a nice surprise. It was all just so dreamy and wonderful that my husband and I decided we would most definitely want to stay here again in the fall. We didn’t want to leave!

Exceeded All Expectations

In the current pandemic environment, we set a goal of finding a house that, once we arrived, we wouldn't want to leave. The backyard (pool, putting green, bacci court, hammock and numerous seating/hangout areas) and overall layout of the home with separate patio areas for each bedroom exceeded this requirement. It was close to grocery stores and the downtown area for our quick runs out for take out and food supplies. We will definitely be back to this home whenever our travels take us back to Palm Springs.

Perfection in Palm Springs

We absolutely loved everything about our stay at the West Elm: Alexander House. Everything was spotless upon arrival. The property is located in a quiet residential street with minimal noise from neighbors. The yard is designed to get maximum morning and afternoon shade, meaning we could enjoy the yard in the middle of summer with adequate shade. From 3pm the pool is almost entirely shaded which made a big difference for the kids, especially in the peak of summer. The tanning shelf (shallow end) is large enough for younger kids to enjoy and the water feature was very popular. Note that the desert can be drying to kid's skin so bring plenty of moisturizer. Inside, the house has everything you need for cooking and relaxing. Upon arrival, there were four chilled margarita glasses in the freezer - a great touch. The outdoor ice machine was a huge hit for both adults and kids. We used the big outdoor dining table outside on the cooler evenings. If there was one thing we would add to the kitchen it would be an ice cream scoop :-) We had only a few minor issues during our stay, ie. the WiFi played up when we arrived but Acme were quick to remedy this for us. Ditto for some smaller issues such as running out of dish liquid. A bottle was promptly left at our front door. Overall, highly recommend this property and we would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks ACME!
