Embracing its retro past yet adding plenty of modern touches, this 1959 Meiselman home is a short drive from the glitz of downtown Palm Springs. For a second, you might think you're at Miami's Wynwood Walls, thanks to a striking flamingo mural by the pool. That's not the only thing we love about the garden – flanked by swaying palm trees and boasting views of the mountains, it's a perfectly private oasis. Splash the day away in the glittering pool, sprawl out on the lounge chairs with a cocktail and retreat underneath the striped umbrella when you need a break from the sun. Come evening, gather around the fire pit and watch the sunset, followed by a soak in the hot tub under the stars. Inside, the breezy interior effortlessly bridges the gap between mid-century and present-day to create a distinct home with bags of character. From its water filtration system (which helps filter out the high concentration of minerals found in the desert water) and vintage furniture to the restored wall of glass and Youngstown kitchen cabinets, your hosts want you to relive Palm Springs' glory days without losing any contemporary comforts. When you're ready to venture out, drive five minutes to downtown Palm Springs for great boutiques and even better restaurants. More adventurous types may want to try hiking the San Jacinto Mountains – but you'll be equally as content admiring them from your backyard.
