Enjoy a taste of celebrity life, when you visit Palm Springs, a hot favorite for a quick getaway from the bright lights of Hollywood. Palm Springs gained popularity in the 1930s among the Hollywood elite, and today is probably most famous for being the Kardashian-Jenners’ weekend playground. While it has a few outdoor attractions such as the Coachella Valley Preserve and the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, it is primarily a place to relax and rewind.
Bigger is always better in Palm Springs, and most properties are designed to seamlessly blend the indoors with the outdoors resulting in lavish spaces. With pleasant weather, alfresco poolside dining will be a norm as you try and spot constellations in the clear night sky. Escape from the city and stay within your own private bubble, each with top-of-the-line amenities and gorgeous views. Continue reading for the best short-term rentals in Palm Springs, California.

10. Fess Parker Estate
Once the home of Disney legend Fess Parker, this unique property is surrounded by 39 mature palm trees and mostly has a glass exterior.

With a minimum stay of three nights required, this is an excellent rental for a long weekend, or stay for up to seven days and enjoy great savings.
