Palm Springs Condo | Feel Like A Movie Star In This Bungalow Of Hollywood Royalty

1 Bedroom Condo in Palm Springs

The old Racquet Club may be gone, yet the lore lives on.
(City of Palm Springs ID #2996, TOT #6392)
Originally owned by actress Joan Fontaine (perhaps this was her Palm Springs pied à terre) and later by actor Tab Hunter (perhaps his desert hideaway bungalow or his private pool-house pad), seclusion has always been central and essential. The architecturally stylish property is totally enclosed, overlooked by swaying palms and embraced by ficus, pyracantha, bougainvillea, calliandra, dwarf bottlebrush, blue elf aloe, climbing fig, crimson flare honeysuckle and heavenly bamboo, with a large private patio and sparkling private pool. It boasts western views of the mountains that are nothing short of stunning.
The living / great room is airy and light, featuring 10’ ceilings, an Italian stone fireplace & mantelpiece and walls of floor to ceiling windows showcasing a spectacular view of the San Jacinto Mountains (named for Saint Hyacinth). The kitchen is updated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
The bedroom, which can be closed off from the living room or en suite, has beautiful marble floors, a 10’ high ceiling and a large Fleetwood sliding glass door leading out to the breakfast patio.
This 1,062 sq. ft., one-bedroom, one-bath get-away in the beautiful Club Condominium complex, designed by renowned architect William Cody, offers classic Mid-Century Modern architectural design for the perfect desert retreat. The gated, secure complex is beautifully landscaped and also offers dedicated covered parking and a large heated community pool and spa just a short walk from the bungalow.

Summary: We stayed in this beautiful villa for two weeks and it had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the privacy, the pool, and the Mountain View’s. Definitely a place we will return to. Michael is a wonderful host.

Summary: Our first impression was "wow!" Beautifully decorated, great 10' ceilings, nice landscaping. Everything was spotless and well thought out and welcoming. The owner and property manager were easily accessible and prompt in answering questions. The cooktop was a little temperamental, but easily remedied. All switches are labeled with written instructions accompanying some electronics. Alexa is a nice touch for music. We had a great 2 weeks.

Summary: My husband and I stayed in Michael's condo for 5 nights over Thanksgiving. The condo is absolutely beautiful and comfortable, and Michael has thought of everything that may be needed, from a well stocked kitchen and bathroom to a comfortable bed and background music playing when we arrived! We enjoyed morning walks to town and surrounding neighborhoods, dips in the community hot tub and floating in our private pool. It was a perfect vacation, and we highly recommend Villa Fontaine!
