✨ The Margarette: A 1948 Art Deco Secret in the Heart of Palm Desert
Step back in time without sacrificing modern luxury. Built in 1948, The Margarette is a meticulously preserved heritage escape that blends Old Hollywood glamour with the serene, sun-drenched lifestyle of the desert. Whether you're here for an anniversary or a quiet solo retreat, this is your private sanctuary.
📍 The Perfect Location
Forget the car keys. You are just a short, scenic stroll from El Paseo, the "Rodeo Drive of the Desert." World-class dining, high-end boutiques, and vibrant galleries are practically at your doorstep, yet our tucked-away setting ensures total peace when you return home.
🏊 The Boutique Experience
Designed for those who appreciate the quieter side of luxury, The Margarette offers a curated, intimate atmosphere:
• The Pool: Spend your afternoons floating in our 10 x 30 saltwater pool. With only two units on-site (max 4 guests total), you’ll always find a quiet spot among the 6 plush chaise lounges.
• The Gardens: Wake up to the sound of hummingbirds. Our lush, tranquil gardens provide the perfect backdrop for your morning espresso or an evening glass of wine.
• Al Fresco Living: Fire up the brand-new natural gas BBQ for a sunset dinner under the stars—no reservations required.
🛌 Artistic Interiors & Comfort
• Vintage Flair: Original Art Deco details meet modern comfort. Drift off in a premium queen-size bed dressed in high-thread-count linens.
• The Kitchenette: Perfect for light meals and morning brews. Includes a Keurig, induction cooktop, toaster oven, and microwave (please note: no traditional oven).
• Modern Essentials: Stay cool with whisper-quiet, brand-new climate control and enjoy the seamless ease of keyless self check-in.

Our stay was ok, but there were several things that were somewhat disappointing. The main issue is that it is a studio and not a one bedroom as listed. The unit is very old and has not been updated so there were several amenities that didn’t function very well.The bathroom shower could have been more safe.These were the concerns we had. However, other reviews were 5 star which is one reason we chose this place. Although the onsite owner was very accessible and responded immediately to our questions.

Larry and I had such a lovely stay and couldn’t have asked for a better Palm Desert getaway. From the moment we arrived, Margarette made us feel genuinely welcome. She is incredibly sweet and checked in with us a few times during our stay to make sure everything was perfect — which it truly was.The property itself is beautiful and so well cared for. The grounds are thoughtfully managed, full of plants, and dotted with charming little decorations that make it feel warm and inviting. The pool was spotless, and we especially loved the gentle, bubbly sound from the fountain — it added such a relaxing, spa-like touch.We also have to mention Duchess, Margarette’s adorable and friendly cat, who completely stole our hearts.The neighborhood was very private and wonderfully quiet — exactly what we were hoping for. It was the perfect home base for our day trips to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and Joshua Tree National Park, both of which were unforgettable.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this Vrbo to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautifully kept place with a truly kind and attentive host. Thank you, Margarette, for such a special stay!

Excellent Stay!

My stay here was excellent. I needed a weekend away and wanted a private residence with a pool. The location was great, the property was beautiful and the resident cat “Dutchess” was awesome! Margarette answered all my questions and is a great host. I will definitely be coming back soon.

Perfect

Bought tickets to Powertrip Live. As soon as they were secured, every hotel in the area doubled or tripled their rates. Found this little gem and it was perfect. Within 15 minutes of Empire Polo grounds. Room is similar to a hotel room in size. Comfortable bed, sitting area, small table/chairs, kitchenette. Lots of artwork. Pool/hot tub and large outside patio with numerous lounge chairs. Host (Margret) was great. Asked about our plans and shared info. Very responsive. A number of small, personsl touches (wine and glasses as we entered the room, among others). Clearly evident she takes pride in the accommodations. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Very highly recommended. Thank you Margret for your hospitality.
