3rd Rock - Designed for the Luxury Vacation Experience!

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 Palm Springs vacation home designed for luxury 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 property combines iconic architecture with spectacular mountain views.

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. Beds: K,K + Bonus Sleeping Area

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
Step into a private oasis designed for leisure and style. 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 **

** Please Note: 1. This fee is not included in the quoted price on some booking platforms. 2. Pool heating may be added in minimum of 3 day blocks per request

INDOOR LIVING SPACES
Inside, sophisticated design meets comfort. The open floor plan features a well-appointed chef’s kitchen with a 60-inch refrigerator, dual dishwashers, wine cooler, and center island—all overlooking the dining and living areas with sweeping mountain views. A dedicated movie room offers a plush sofa (convertible to a California King), large flatscreen TV, and patio access, perfect for family nights or guest overflow.

** 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. **

SLEEPING QUARTERS
The luxurious Primary Suite features a King bed, ensuite spa-like bath with steam shower, and direct access to the pool yard with stunning mountain views. The Guest Suite offers another King bed, ensuite bath, and private patio access. A full hallway bath adds convenience, while the media room’s California King sleeper expands accommodations. All bedrooms include hotel-quality mattresses, flatscreen TVs, and ample storage. Sleeps up to 8 guests.

THE LOCATION
3rd Rock is tucked away in Araby, one of Palm Springs’ most sought-after neighborhoods. Just minutes from the South Palm Springs Business District and the world-famous Palm Canyon Drive, you’ll be close to dining, shopping, cafes, and nightlife. Local favorites like Moorten Botanical Garden, Mr. Lyons, and The Purple Room are within easy reach. This location offers the best of both worlds: privacy and tranquility with quick access to everything Palm Springs has to offer.
