Luxury villas with huge pools, hip bungalows with IG-worthy corners, mountain views, and all the mid-century modern vibes you could ever ask for. Welcome to the best of Palm Springs’s Airbnbs. (Yes, that includes the famous That Pink Door house!)
The Palm Desert is absolutely a place of rest and letting loose (and has been for decades.) And while I love visiting the Moorten Cactus Garden and riding bikes around hunting down colorful doors, my Palm Springs vacation rentals are always the highlight of my trip. Let’s be honest – we both know I love to sit poolside all afternoon working on my tan and sipping cocktails. The space you rent is important.

I judge a cool Airbnb based on the style/decor, past guest reviews, unique features (like a pool or treehouse), price point and location. Basically – if Airbnb can be a destination in itself, I want to stay there (otherwise I usually opt for hotels.)

I literally spent a whole afternoon combing through listings and asking all my friends who vacation in the desert for their favorite Palm Springs rentals. Keep on reading for the ultimate list!

Wow - this may be the best Airbnb in Palm Springs, California for value. It's hard to find a house rental this stylish and with this location for $200 a night. We love those yellow doors by the pool (so IG worthy!) and all the fun decor on the inside. The hosts also leave tons of great perks like bikes so you can easily cruise around the city hunting down famous Plam Springs colorful doors or cut back on Uber costs.

There's nothing more retro Palm Desert than a cute Airstream Airbnb! This airstream is great for solo travelers or couples on a budget without compromising amenities or style. Everything inside is brand new and guests get access to the common areas including a grill and outdoor seating with string lights. It's about a 20-minute drive from Downtown Palm Springs and near Joshua Tree / Yucca Valley and makes a great home base if you plan on exploring both areas.

A gorgeous Palm Springs Airbnb with private pool AND a treehouse!!! *My inner child is freaking out right now* I love the open concept from kitchen to the backyard and the fun pops of yellow everywhere. This house is located pretty close to the Movie Colony area (aka the super swanky neighborhood that all the famous people live in) and the famous Robot Lights house that you simply MUST stop by on any Palm Springs trip.
PS it's pet friendly so bring your pup!

Ok, I'm OBSESSED with this Palm Springs Airbnb! Not only is the pool super chic and gives all those luxury desert home vibes, but the inside has tons of color and cool decor. Just check out the mural in the master bedroom! The backyard is huge and past guests love soaking in the hot tub at night and having drinks around the fire pit.
The Palm Desert is one of my favorite parts of California and no matter the season you visit, you’ll have fun. That being said, expect it to be hot hot hot in the summer (easily over 120 degrees) but pretty chilly during the winter (you WILL need to pack a sweater!)
I love visiting Palm Springs when Desert X is going on, it’s so fun to hunt down all those cool art installations around the desert. They extend from Cathreal City to Yucca Valley and even down to the Salton Sea. It’s like one giant scavanger hunt!
