Nestled in Coachella Valley, Southern California, the desert resort town of Palm Springs is a year-round destination made for sun-seekers. Sunshine and blue skies are almost permanent fixtures here, almost as if someone pushed the button for “eternal summer” and forgot to let go. Rain is a rare occurrence. If winter wherever you live is a numbing and miserable affair, a trip to Palm Springs is the perfect antidote to the chill. Winters here are relatively warm; just pack a light spring jacket / sweater for chilly evenings and you’re all set.
Once a playground for the Rat Pack, a name given to a group of American actors including Frank Sinatra, who had luxurious homes in Palm Springs, the city still retains its celebrity glamour. Grab your over-sized shades, put on your sun hat, and slather on copious amounts of sunblock. You’ll definitely need it once you see these gorgeous poolside HomeAway and Vrbo vacation rentals:

1. Tropical heaven: resort-style pool and luxury living in Sunrise Park (From 731 USD)
Leave the kids at home; this stunning property in the heart of downtown is adults only, and all guests must be at least 25 years old. You’ll never want to leave this tropical paradise. Settle on the elevated sun deck with loungers on a carpet of green grass beneath a brilliant blue sky with marshmallow clouds, then cool down with a refreshing dip in the pool. Palm fronds rustle in a soft breeze that also makes small ripples in the pool. The shaded patio is a serene spot from where to enjoy the views with an ice cold beer. Chilly evenings make for warm conversations and hearty laughter indoors with a fire burning brightly in the fireplace, and a bottle of wine to go around. The dining area is immediately expanded to include the mountains once you slide open the glass doors. An outdoor grill is available for your use as well. The combination of sun and water can make us pleasantly lethargic at night. This master suite is elegant and inviting, ensuring sweet dreams throughout the night.
