Neighborhood highlights
We love Tahquitz River Estates, which is one of Palm Springs’ most desirable neighborhoods! Nestled in the prestigious South End, our home puts you in the perfect spot to soak up all the desert charm. You’re less than a mile from downtown, but the neighborhood itself has its own village-like vibe. Think vintage shops, quirky boutiques, and dining options for every mood, whether it’s a juicy steak dinner at Mr. Lyons or a laid-back local café, Koffi.
Architecture buffs will love strolling the streets, where mid-century modern gems sit alongside Spanish Revival and sleek contemporary homes. It’s no wonder this area is a hot spot for walking tours.

Hi, I'm Nicole! I live for interior design and architecture. As an interior designer and short-term rental property manager, I love creating beautiful spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home. When I’m not daydreaming about homes, I’m with my family, traveling, or hosting friends.
It’s a joy to share this home so others can explore Palm Springs, relax in luxury, and make lasting memories. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I enjoyed creating it!
