​​​​​​​This designer property pays homage to tennis royalty, and the long-standing tradition of tennis in Palm Springs. Gussie's Place, named after Gussie Moran, the “Anna Kournikova” of the 1940's/50's, is perfect for small families and groups travelling together. Mature landscaping gives this backyard ultimate privacy complete with a saltwater pool and spa, fire pit, covered al fresco dining, and mountain views. Want to venture out? Walk to Ruth Hardy Park a few streets away followed by a short stroll to Palm Canyon Drive for brunch. Beds: K, Q.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES The backyard of this property is the place to be, with its beautifully lit swimming pool and spillover spa, shaded lounge areas (both covered and open), outdoor shower, and inviting fire pit. Float in the pool or relax on the deck and look out at this home's stunning mountain views. There's no shortage of entertainment here—those seeking a little exercise or competition will get hours of fun out of the covered outdoor rec area with ping pong table, cornhole set, yoga mats, and tennis gear. Feel like playing a game of tennis? Channel your inner Gussie and take advantage of the house's tennis balls and racquets while playing on the area courts just a few streets away at Ruth Hardy Park.

** Pool and Spa heating can be purchased for an extra fee per day. Pricing can vary, depending on the size of the pool and spa; it can take up to 48 hours to heat. Please reach out prior to arrival if you are interested in adding this amenity.**

INDOOR LIVING SPACES Enter into an open-concept great room that includes a skylit kitchen with marble waterfall island (you'll find seating for 4 at the kitchen bar), gas range and oven, stainless steel French door refrigerator and dishwasher, and oversized farm-style apron sink. This area is convenient to the cosy dining nook with seating for 4. Take a glance around the room and you'll notice art that highlights Palm Springs' storied tennis history, including photographs of Gussie herself. This space also has a turntable and bar area: everything you need for setting any mood you desire. The sunny living/lounge area boasts direct access to the backyard and pool, and is tastefully decorated in a style that is a nod to both mid-century modern and contemporary cool. This space has a flat-screen TV—perfect for film night—as well as a pull out sofa, and a small office area for getting that bit of work or writing done. ** The term "Pets Allowed” or “Pets Accepted" at a Casago holiday rental means that we welcome dogs only.
