About This Home
Turnkey and beautifully furnished, this 1 bed, 1 bath condo--featured in the 2025 Modernism Week Tour--is a striking example of mid-century design located in the iconic Coco Cabana community of South Palm Springs. Surrounded by citrus trees, desert nature, and incredible tranquility, the home offers exceptional privacy while being just minutes from downtown Palm Springs and everyday conveniences like Ralphs, Trader Joe's, Target, Walgreens, and more. An east-facing wall of glass fills the space with natural light, framed by premium Monumental commercial-grade double-pane sliders that open to a large private patio. This stand-alone unit--with only one shared wall--enhances privacy and lives like a retreat. Surrounded by refreshed desert landscaping and a lush manicured hedge, the curb appeal is strong and serene. Inside, curated mid-century furnishings and artwork complete a sophisticated yet laid-back atmosphere that blends style and comfort. Designed in 1955 by Charles W. Doty as a garden apartment hotel and later converted into 31 condos, Coco Cabana is a boutique mid-century modern community rich with architectural heritage. The 5-acre grounds include a saltwater pool and spa with panoramic San Jacinto views, plus two tennis/pickleball courts, all framed by iconic Palm Springs scenery. As a proven performer on Airbnb--with 50+ five-star reviews and a ''Guest Favorite'' designation--the condo is not just a relaxing getaway but also a strong investment opportunity. A seven-day minimum stay allows for flexible short-term rental income. Recent upgrades ensure comfort and peace of mind: new energy-efficient Lennox variable-speed HVAC, new Blomberg washer/dryer, water heater, and roof. Smart-home features--fully operable via phone--include a Yale smart lock, Ring video doorbell, ADT security system, smart thermostat, and electric living room curtain. Fee-simple ownership means you own the land, and the unit includes a designated carport. With stunning views of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains, easy access to hiking trails, shopping, and dining, this home is the perfect blend of history, design, and convenience--capturing the essence of Palm Springs modernism.
