Oasis in the desert

This home is spectacular and staying here feels like a magical step back in time. The house was clean and comfortable. Communication with the owner was so easy and his responses were prompt and thoughtful. My friends and I will come back, hopefully for a longer stay, for sure!

Authentic mid century modern desert oasis

We stayed in Larry's phenomenal mid century house over Thanksgiving this year and loved every minute of it. We've stayed in other rentals before and you can certainly tell the difference (for the better!) when a house is actually lived in by the owner. Everything we needed for our stay was there, and everything was as good as the pictures made it look... and most times, it was better in person. Some of our favorite features, in no particular order: - Turntable with a fully stocked selection on vintage vinyl for the family to discover, and the Eames lounger to sit in while you listen. - Vibrant decorations in every room to make you smile. - Modern touches in the kitchen without sacrificing the vintage layout. - So much glassware for all bartending needs. - Perfect sized pool, with comfortable loungers for all. - Great mix of shade and sun outside. - Lots of reading materials about architecture and Palm Springs - Walkable neighborhood with many more beautiful homes to admire Larry was a great host with excellent communication before and during our stay. Tried and enjoyed a couple of his restaurant recommendations. We had considered some other properties that were less expensive, but we're glad we went with Larry's house for all of its authentic mid century charm and beauty.

Absolutely Amazing Time in an A++ Mid Century Gem!!

Wow. WOW. What can I say that hasn't already been said? There is a reason this property is 10/10. Larry and his Wexler original are an absolute top shelf combination. I proposed to my girlfriend over the weekend, and Larry was so accommodating, he even had a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us! In the build-up to the stay, we had a medical event that put our plans in jeopardy, but Larry was very understanding and stayed in communication all the way along. I cannot say enough good things about him and the property! If you're looking for a true lived-in mid century modern house with ALL the amenities, look no further than this Wexler. Larry even has all the insider information on the best spots, architectural neighborhoods, etc. Absolutely priceless information! Thank you again for making our engagement one for the ages Larry! Truly memorable and we both look forward to meeting you during Modernism Week next year! Jared

Take me back to the 60's 1960 - 5 out of 5 stars

Our family getaway to Larry's 1960 Midcentury Modern Palm Springs Home was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported back to a bygone era of sleek design and desert chic. The architecture, true to the vision of Donald Wexler, was a masterpiece of clean lines, expansive windows, and a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living. The home was impeccably appointed with furniture and decor that captured the essence of the 1960s. It felt like stepping onto the set of Mad Men, but with all the modern conveniences we could ask for. We spent countless hours relaxing by the pool, unwinding in the jacuzzi and enjoying movie nights on the large screen TV and playing games. It's clear that Larry takes great pride in this special property. The thoughtful touches, from the well-equipped kitchen to the extensive entertainment options, made our stay truly effortless. We can't recommend Larry's home enough! It's a perfect place for families who appreciate iconic design and a taste of Palm Springs' history.

Mid Century fabulous

The property is an outstanding mid century home close to downtown Palm Springs. The owner is very nice and quick to respond to our questions. If you like mid century architecture this Wexler house would be a nice place to stay. We will be staying here on our next trip to Palm Springs.

60th Birthday Party

A great time at a unique home. Close to restaurants, golf, shopping. Larry communicated with us throughout the stay asking if we needed anything, fantastic host. The home was the perfect venue for my wife’s 60th. Our kids and their spouses were with us and they had a good time as well. The sun was out so we had an opportunity to soak up some rays as well.

The best place I've stayed in Palm Springs!

Larry's home was beautiful and exactly what we needed for a girl's weekend. It had plenty of amenities from the pool to the hot tub and the outdoor shower! I've stayed in several rentals in the Palm Springs area and this by far has been the best. Not to mention Larry is an EXCELLENT host. I can't wait to come back!

Modernism Week - 2022

The perfect place to stay during Palm Springs Modernism Week. We (3 couples) enjoyed a comfortable stay in a period correct Wexler home. And, the house is decorated and to set the "vibe" it is filled with 50's memorabilia. Larry (our host) was helpful and available. We texted and spoke on the phone several times during our stay for his suggestions and recommendations. As a bonus, in addition to the pool area there are several other outdoor seating / entertainment areas around the home you'll want to explore.

Beautiful holiday stay!

Not only is this property beautiful, but the owner was incredibly kind throughout our stay. We stayed for Christmas and New Years and enjoyed the heated pool, gorgeous home and beautiful, quiet neighborhood. We frequently travel to Palm Springs and I’ve never had such a detail-oriented and kind vacation rental owner. He emailed ahead of time discussing details such as the heated pool and arrival times. He was extremely flexible, which is a breath of fresh air! Also, he was genuinely kind and thoughtful by even asking us if we’d like a Christmas tree to be put up and leaving us a welcome gift. I would highly recommend staying at this comfortable and unique home, and my whole family couldn’t stop raving about it.

Celebrating turning my own mid century birthday in Mid Century Modern fabulousness

Upon my arrival at the home I was greeted by the homeowner, my new Mid Mod friend Larry. Normally I might have wanted to just settle in and rest after my travels but I was so glad he was there to show me around and give me the scoop on the house and neighborhood. We bonded immediately over our shared love of the 60s music, architecture and design! He has done an impeccable, period perfect job of renovation his home in true Palm Springs style while balancing it out with all the current creature comforts a traveler would want and need and more! The place was spotless and anything we needed was right at our fingertips! Oh, and did I mention Larry baked me a delicious birthday cake? We loved our stay and can’t wait to do again soon and often!
