P.S. City ID #004901 | Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age to rent (Proof of age required)
Welcome to 3rd Rock, a breathtaking luxury Palm Springs vacation home designed for elevated indoor–outdoor living under the desert sun. Nestled in the exclusive Araby neighborhood—just below the historic Southridge Estates once home to Bob Hope and Steve McQueen—this modern retreat combines iconic architecture, panoramic mountain views, and a private resort-style pool and spa, creating one of the most memorable Palm Springs vacation rentals in the area. Beds: K, K, + Bonus Sleeping Area with pull-out King sofa
The expansive open-concept floor plan makes it easy for your entire group to relax and reconnect. Walls of glass slide away to blur the line between indoors and outdoors in true Palm Springs style, creating a seamless flow from the chic living spaces to the private resort-style backyard.
OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES Step into a private Palm Springs backyard oasis designed for leisure and style, featuring a sparkling pool with tanning deck, integrated spa, fire pit lounge, and panoramic desert mountain backdrop. The centerpiece is the sparkling pool with tanning deck and integrated spa, surrounded by chaise lounges and shaded areas for lounging. Gather around the fire pit lounge as the sun sets, or enjoy alfresco dining and a BBQ grill under the desert sky. Towering palms, native landscaping, and panoramic mountain views set the stage for unforgettable moments.
** The pool will be heated to 83 degrees 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. Spa heating is included with your rental at no extra cost **

The dedicated movie room functions as a flexible third sleeping area with a convertible couch that expands into a king-size bed, a large flatscreen TV, and patio access —ideal for additional guests or families needing extra space.
** 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. **

Sublime
We were so excited to find 3rd Rock on VRBO. It looked fabulous online. When we arrive on property, the pictures did not disappoint. It’s a beautiful property. Immaculate. Every view of the mountains. The yard is an oasis. When we had a little challenge Hearing the spa, property management was there within 15 mins to correct the problem. Our every need was met. It’s a beautiful property that doesn’t disappoint in any way. We will definitely rent this property again: early and often!

Minimalist Masterpiece
We stayed at 3rd Rock for 4 nights in October. The house is beautiful. Everything is extremely high end, especially the appliances in the kitchen. The home's decor is modern and minimalist. There isn't any clutter. The owner's provide everything you might need (except facial tissue). There are ample instructions provided on how to use all the features of the home. The pool area is very private and quiet. The hot tub is wonderful and is controlled by a tablet on the wall. In fact you can control all the features of the house from the same tablet. The two bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds, and attached bathrooms. There is no tub. The master bath has a steam shower. The garage is spotless and was more than big enough to accommodate our larger rental Jeep. We used the very large gas grill every night. We loved our stay here. It is a perfect place for a quiet get away for one or two couples.

5 Start Hotel experience but better
Property seems like it is brand new. Pool, house, kitchen, electronics are all first class and there is a wonderful tablet to operate everything. The backyard and pool are wonderful Strongly suggest this for a couple or two couple as there are two suites within the house.
