About this property

Ruth Hardy Park Oasis - Walk to Downtown!

P.S City ID #002004 | Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age (Proof of age required)

This Palm Springs charmer in a prime location is 1,836 square feet of open, bright spaces, comfortable decor, and is updated inside and out. It’s situated on an oversized lot complete with mature fruit trees and walled for privacy. It features off-street covered parking and a 25-foot in-ground pool, a primary king suite plus a two-room guest suite that sleeps an additional 4 in a queen and 2 twin beds, each in their own room. Beds: K,Q+(T,T)

Couples or small families looking for a getaway where lounging by the pool is a priority will love this rental. It’s available for longer stays for those who truly need to get away from it all. It’s in a central location near downtown so whether on foot or by bike, exploring the area is effortless, and golfers will love its proximity to the links.

The reviews are in and overwhelmingly, past guests have loved how clean and well-maintained this house is. The pristine outdoor spaces and the remodeled interiors make an unforgettable backdrop for any Palm Springs adventure. Local lore even claims the 1930’s home was designed by Edwin B. Willis, the set designer for the classic film, The Wizard of Oz.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
Choose your own adventure in your private walled secret garden with emerald green lawns, arbors overflowing with Bougainvillea, citrus trees, and meandering stone paths. Live the California dream and soak up the sun in a lounge chair by the pool, or pick a shady spot and get lost in a good book. There’s a full outdoor covered dining and living area to make the most of the gorgeous year-round weather. Dine in the evening under the soft illumination of popcorn lights and head out to the firepit afterwards for some prime star-gazing. The covered patio offers a perfect breakfast spot with views of pristine landscaping.

** 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. If you home has a spa or hot tub, heating the spa 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
The open floor plan allows desert breezes to waft through the house and warm natural light to illuminate the space. Although the home has an overall modern feel, original architectural details remain and give the interior an unmistakable mid-century modern character. The furnishings are stylish, but comfortable and inviting. You’ll find the fully-stocked kitchen has everything you need to feed a crowd and features a suite of upscale stainless steel appliances. The stunning dining set seats 6-8 in a light-filled airy formal dining room. The separate den is a great space for reading, conversations by the fireplace over a glass of Chardonnay, or napping away the afternoon on the daybed.

** The term "Pets Allowed” or “Pets Accepted" at an ACME House Company vacation rental means that we welcome dogs only. No other pets are allowed. **

SLEEPING QUARTERS
Relax in your primary suite with a California king bed and separate seating area with a flat-screen TV. This room features a spacious walk-in closet, an ensuite bathroom, and convenient direct access to the back patio and pool area.

The guest suite features two rooms with a set of elegant French doors separating them, one with a queen size bed and the other with 2 twin beds Both rooms are comfortable and stylish and have flat-screen TVs. This configuration makes a great option for parents with children, or just extra guests.

THE LOCATION
Beyond your sanctuary of peace and serenity lies the popular and walkable Movie Colony East neighborhood, once home to Hollywood’s most glamorous stars, now known for cozy eateries, palm trees, and green spaces galore. Ruth Hardy Park is a quick walk away and offers 22 acres of gardens, sports courts, picnic tables, and a playground. Wellness Park has an outdoor gym and meditation garden for a change of pace. You’ll discover dining, shopping, and art galleries all just a stone’s throw from the home.

A Gem in Palm Springs

The Ruth Hardy Oasis exceeded expectations. The property is tastefully appointed, thoughtfully furnished for any need, and beautifully situated in the lovely Movie Colony neighborhood. My husband and I were delighted by our four-week stay and hope to return soon.

Feels like a private resort!

If you're considering booking this property, just do it - you will not be disappointed. The home and property are just as beautiful as the pictures look and are filled with so many helpful "extras" that make the stay even more pleasant than expected. From the extremely well stocked coffee and tea bar, shampoo and body wash in every bathroom, board games for quiet nights at home and an extremely well stocked kitchen (including a juicer for fresh squeezed OJ and lemonade from the backyard citrus trees) this home has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The property is beautiful and the outdoor living spaces are absolutely gorgeous. It's a quick 5 minute drive to downtown, 10 minutes from the beautiful Tahquitz Canyon, 15 minutes from the airport and about an hour from Joshua Tree National Park. The property management company is extremely responsive and very helpful with any questions you may have. My only suggestion would be to add an outdoor heater for the winter months so more time can be spent outside when it's chilly. If we find ourselves in Palm Springs again we would book this home in a heartbeat!

Convenient and well kept

This is a very comfortable home with lots of amenities. We did not realize that we should have chosen to have the pool heated. The management is always available should there be any issue. They clearly do a great job of maintaining and cleaning. Property is close to downtown and the airport. Only drawback is some noise.

Oasis in the desert!

Fantastic stay at the Ruth Hardy Park Oasis property! Beautiful, quiet, private property; close to downtown; thoughtfully appointed with amenities. Very easy to check in and check out. The pool was wonderful to soak up some unexpected triple digit temperatures! Beautiful green lawns to view from the ample outdoor space. My dog loved roaming completely fenced in property (only note that the sprinklers go off every few hours, so once you get used to it you won't get caught in them lol). The property managers were very friendly and responsive. Absolutely recommend staying here and hope to visit again!

Wonderful getaway

Beautiful spacious property. It has all the kitchen equipment anyone needs to cook. Our puppies were so happy. They provide bags for their poop. One negative and it has nothing to do with the property it’s a city issues. We had some music playing by the pool and it was flagged by a neighbor. We promptly got a call from the property manager. I appreciated the one warning. The beds are so comfortable! The sheets are amazing. We look forward to staying again.

Wonderful Place to Stay

We had a terrific time staying at this house. Everything was very clean and very functional. All appliances were in top shape and the kitchen was very nicely equipped. The pool was very nice and the size of the lot was perfect. Also, this house is walking distance to the Ruth Hardy park and downtown. I want to also point out that the Acme management is top notch all the way. We had a great time in a great house.

Fabulous Stay at Ruth Hardy Park Oasis

Very beautiful property - centrally located, yet secluded and peaceful; charming interior with plenty of light, very well stocked kitchen with all the essentials for your stay, gated front yard with covered carport, spacious back yard with a small but refreshing pool, mini citrus grove and lush green lawn. Communication with the property management was a breeze, the house manual is quite detailed and it covers all steps to check in/out. Highly recommended!

Very Comfy Home

We rented the home for 4 weeks and enjoyed our stay. Well stocked kitchen, beautiful master bedroom and lovely backyard. We had another couple join us for 2 weeks and our grandkids for a week. Only deficiency was the shower in the second bathroom - not very usable for older folks.

Ruth Hardy Oasis - it is!

This is a charming and comfortable home close to downtown Palm Springs. The house is cozy and very comfortable, fully stocked with anything you might need. What sets this house apart - is its' gardens and yard. Lemon, orange and grapefruit trees adorn the property. Plenty of palms and great lounging areas. Only a 5 minute walk to the lovely, Ruth Hardy Park - we loved it and will stay here again!

Should have booked longer!

This property is ideally located, a block away from Ruth Hardy park. Our 11.5 yr old Rhodesian Ridgeback was like a puppy when he saw the gorgeous back yard.! So much space and beautifully landscaped! I loved the pool! Great rehab for my bum knee because of the warmth! The house was very clean and the property management was very responsive. Mounds of coffee pods provided and a well stocked kitchen. We were very comfortable here! The only suggestion I would make would be to add a shower in the second bathroom, as the free standing tub with shower was a bit awkward. Also should be aware that the third bedroom is attached to the second, a bit odd but certainly did not affect our enjoyment or use as a couple.

Ruth Hardy Home Getaway

The home and grounds were immaculate! We had a wonderful relaxing time. Our two poodles Bowie and Flynn really enjoyed the spacious back yard. The pool was nice and we used it on the first day as the temps were in the 80's. The weather cooled off after that but we still spent quite a bit of time on the back patios enjoying the peace and quiet!

Beautiful little getaway

Beautiful house, great location and pool. Nice to be able to walk to downtown. It truly is a beautiful little oasis. The house is very well appointed. Please note: we were told explicitly that there was not a child-deterrent fence available for use around the pool. Although we did not end up putting it in place, there IS a pool fence available for you to set up on the property.

There is no lovier place to stay in Palm Springs! My partner and I (and dog) visited for a second time…. And we are planning for our third…The Acme Management team is the best- completely responsive to any need. The gardens are beautiful and impeccably maintained…I can’t imagine staying anywhere else.

Your very own oasis

This property is lovely. There really is as much outdoor space as shown in the pictures! :) It's very relaxing. The one huge thing to know is you literally cannot play ANY music at ANY volume outside due to a city ordinance for all rental properties. It's something to get used to for sure. All in all though it's a great location. Easy to walk to downtown and only short Uber rides around town. Ubers/Lyfts are plentiful.

Gorgeous yard and a peaceful house

Loved the landscaping and the outdoor spaces, which attract many birds and butterflies. The sunlight inside the house was also very cheering and exactly what I’m looking for in the desert. We very much appreciated the way the kitchen was stocked with coffee and olive oil and salt. All appliances were in excellent working order and the dishes and pots and pans were thoughtfully chosen. Would definitely stay in this house and neighborhood again!
