PS Groovy: Mad Men Style Meets The Groovy Life

A window into the Mid-Century heyday of Palm Springs with a modern look at amenities, PS Groovy is a delightfully entertaining Alexander built home offering expansive views of the San Jacinto Mountains on a large corner lot in Racquet Club Estates. Recently renovated to include the new 1 bedroom detached casita, this home is sleek on Mad Men style and fully equipped for your ideal, picturesque Palm Springs vacation. PS Groovy is the place to relax, unwind and enjoy all the city has to offer.

From the breeze block entry off the covered detached 2-car carport, the home opens up to an ideal floor plan with open living space to the left and the front of the home where the Master Suite and 2 guest bedrooms are well separated. The detached casita is its own Master suite with ensuite bath and retreat with a wall of glass overlooking the pool and outside entertaining area. Totaling 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, PS Groovy offers a generous 2,400 square feet of Mid-Century Modern style and indoor/outdoor entertaining.

Off the front entry, the living spaces include a well-stocked granite island kitchen with bar stool seating and an open informal dining and living room area with clerestory windows and tongue and groove ceilings that accentuate the homes Mid-Century roots. The living room also features a gas brick fireplace, generous seating and large flat-screen smart TV with Direct TV satellite cable. The main house has beautiful Terrazzo floors throughout and all of the bathrooms are shower and tub combinations. The Master Suite in the main house and Casita offer king size beds; the two guest bedrooms are queen size beds. All of the bedrooms have their own flat screen TVs with cable access.

Outside, PS Groovy’s large entertaining backyard offers un obstructed views of the mountains, a large pool (pool heat is an optional/additional charge. See house rules for additional information), in-ground spa, gas fire pit with seating for four and raised outdoor dining area that seats up to 8 people. The 19th hole putting green is unique to this home allowing guests to brush up on their skills before hitting one of the gorgeous nearby public courses.

This beautiful vacation rental is a short drive to downtown Palm Springs with its many bars, shops, restaurants, and art galleries and even closer to the boutique shops and restaurants of the Uptown Design District. Other Palm Springs attractions are similarly a short drive away - from area casinos to world renowned spa resorts, tennis, golfing, museums and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.

Racquet Club Estates is a premier neighborhood of Palm Springs. The neighborhood is rich with architecture and history. It should be noted the city has sound ordinances that are strictly enforced. The owner(s) like to stress this home is ideal for a dream vacation and relaxation but is by no means a “party-central” home. Each guest is expected to be as good a neighbor as the owner(s) themselves. Special events like weddings are NOT allowed.

The yard and pool were amazing - we spent so many fun hours in the pool and spa . Clean and beautifully laid out . Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to make dinners for our 2 families. Brad the host/ property manager was so friendly and helpful. What a wonderful experience. We will be back !

Nice location and beautiful home & yard
We loved the house and had an amazing time exploring Palm Springs, Joshua Tree National Park and Coachella Valley. Just a heads up to future renters, there is no music allowed to be played outside. We didn't dig far enough into the rules and regulations of Palm Springs or on the home site. Would we have played music, yes, but we did okay without it. Management company was awesome. We had an infant so they raised the temperature of pool immediately upon our request. Our only issue, is that the house needed a deep cleaning. Saw left over toys and trash under bed and floors could have been cleaner.

Great house, good set up but it’s not as spacious or roomie as it looks. No garage, very thin walls. And tiny rooms. The separate casita was great. We followed all the noise ordinance rules and kept all music sounds indoors after 10pm, but had some guest relaxing in the jacuzzi at night time with music INDOORS. No warnings or texts or a call or anything prior to the city showing up so we received an excessive fine and were evicted after one night. They clearly wanted to set an example rom my group and take all of our money and not be reasonable or talk about the situation and come to an agreement or anything at all. They said we could have guests over and have them stop by on the flow and come and go and I guess the city can fine you for people parking on the public street for a couple hours while they visit the house. They gave us an hour or so to all leave and were very very rude to us. We simply just needed a place to sleep for the next 2 nights and were more than willing to over satisfy their expectations and demands but were not accepting of our politeness and cooperation. They also said they would keep all of the money for the services not re dates after kicking us out. There were multiple solutions and opportunities to at least reach out to me and our group prior to showing up and evicting us and fining us and they took none of them if you’re going to rent from them expect to not enjoy the pool of bbq or have guests over indoors without getting evicTed.

Great Vibes a PS Groovy
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at Relax Palm Springs-PS Groovy. The space was clean upon our arrival. Plenty of space for all four of us. The backyard had everything needed for relaxing days at the pool - and the view is beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked for making food/cocktails. What stood out the most though and made our stay 5 stars was the property manager. He was attentive from the days leading up to our stay through check-out. He gave us so many local places to check out and when we messaged him with some specific requests he responded super fast. He made sure we had everything we needed and beyond. The rules for the house (and all rental properties in PS) were strict so we had to get creative with syncing our playlists to listen to music outside with headphones. Also, the area is not very walkable but most of our Uber rides were 15 min or less. The house could use a few touchups as some areas look a little worn. Overall we were very happy with our stay. Thank you Relax PS

Fantastic Christmas getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing time over Christmas at this house. It was perfect for my extended family, especially for a baby and a dog in the separate bedroom (never woke anyone up!). Brad, the rental associate who helped us check in was WONDERFUL! The pool was heated before we got there, just as we asked, and we were able to get an early check in to accommodate the baby's nap (a dream!). The location was perfect, the house was gorgeous and everything worked perfectly!

“Get Off the World” Time
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My adult children and I had a lovely time relaxing by the pool every day and watching movies at night after a homemade dinner prepared either on the outdoor grill or in the designer kitchen. We booked PSGroovy as a July vacation, and it turned out to be a much-needed respite from June familial events. I stayed in the Casita bedroom separated at night from the main house with my own private bathroom, tv, and king-sized bed. It was heavenly. PSGroovy is a wonderful place to stay if you're looking to get away and stay in the 1960s-inspired home setting. There were plenty of options to dine elsewhere, which we did a few times, and places to visit. We were, however, recouping our energy and chose to enjoy the mountain views while floating in the pool with cocktails in hand. Brad, from PSRelax, is always ready to assist with any issues or questions. I highly recommend using them to book your next Palm Springs getaway.

Pool was big, hot tub was great, the misters were the best. Kitchen was stocked with everything we could need. Great table outside to eat and play games, inside as well. Only con was that it was severely windy at times, but not a deal breaker. Breezeway kept all floaties safe. Day beds outside, Great place to relax and tan. Check in and out was a breeze and everyone at relax palm springs was super nice.

BEAUTIFUL Outdoor space!!
Every year, 7 of us moms come together to Palm Springs to escape life! We barely leave the house so it's always important that we stay somewhere with a well-stocked kitchen, a beautiful backyard space and comfortable sleeping quarters. This house hit the mark on all of our expectations! The backyard had so many places to bask in the sun, eat meals together and just chill. The pool got plenty of sun from sunrise to sunset (this was super important to us). Even those who wanted shade, there were plenty of areas in the yard for that. The pool deck and pool were super spacious for all 7 of us to hangout comfortably. The access to the inside from the pool area was really convenient. The outside misters were also perfect for the pool deck for the 100 degree days! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, eat and make drinks. Lots of utensils, spices, dishes. Even little things like ziplock bags and plenty of garbage bags made all the difference. The sleeping areas were comfortable and perfect for our party size. I would say if you plan to spend a lot of time inside, it would feel small for a bigger party. But outside was most important to us (we ate all meals outside and spent all day/night outside). Gregg was the best property manager - super responsive and seemed to really care that we were enjoying our stay. The function of the property was top notch - everything worked and was easy to use!! The ease of check in/out was amazing. We weren't required to do much in terms of checkout (start dishes and take out garbage and that's it!) which meant the ending of our trip was super easy and we could enjoy the last morning of sun before our flight. Thank you for everything!!

Amazing home
What a great property for our crew of 8! 4 adults, a teen and 3 boys under 10 plus our tiny chihuahua. The property never felt small even in the unseasonably cold weather we had. Pool and hot tub were at perfect temps for the kids and adults alike. The 19th hole in the backyard provided literal hours of fun for the guys and boys. House was well stocked and well appointed everything is labeled in kitchen! Every bed was comfy including linens and pillows. I would recommend your heaviest sleepers for the casita as the solar panels were noisy with the changing temps. Location was excellent the street quiet. We all didn’t want to leave and would certainly stay here again.

Super Groovy!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a great escape into the mid-mod world of P.S. Groovy! By far the best vacation rental experience I’ve ever had in Palm Springs. I was traveling with my twenty-something kids & their friends. We all loved the jacuzzi, large heated & lighted pool, misters and waterfall features. The backyard is the star of the show! Plenty of lounge chairs, umbrellas, pool floats, daybeds, tabletop bar with seating, fire-pit with seating. The small putting green was used by all the kids! The house was super clean, decorated in mid century modern theme and had a full set of martini shakers on the bar cart! Extra cool window features with electronic sun shades that drop down and black out shades too. Kitchen was fully stocked with labels on drawers and cabinets. This was a very helpful time-saver! Loved having the detached casita for our guests who snore...😂 The neighborhood was super chill with a great view of Mt. San Jacinto. Definitely will be back in 2022!

Madmen Meets Groovy Life - Incredible place!
This place is amazing. The house is perfect for 3-4 couples or a large family. The décor is super cool, and the pool and hot-tub are great. There are even misters for those really hot days, and a pool fountain. The owners are very attentive to any requests, and the place has all of the amenities you need. Our entire group (4 couples) loved it, and we will definitely be back!

Perfect for an extended pandemic getaway
The property and property company were great! Pictures represent the property really well. There was plenty of room for our group of six to spread out. The casita was great for our parents and their dog, leaving the main house for my sister, myself, our partners, and our small dogs. The yard is perfect - pool is good sized and there is enough grass to play a yard game. The property company was very responsive and quick to respond via text. We would definitely visit this house again in the future.

Great property, needs some updating
Great property. Pool area was super and exactly what we expected. Appliances need some tlc/ updating. Grill needs to be replaced - no way to gauge the temperature as 2 of 3 built-in thermometers weren't working and numbers weren't legible on the knobs. Inside the house, the stove markings around the knobs are worn off so you can't read the numbers. The dishwasher is falling apart and needs to be replaced

Great Yard
My husband enjoyed the hot tub and warmed pool daily. We did use the fire pit a few times but frequently had winds that made it difficult to sit outside. Also without heaters by the dinning table we could not eat outside during our stay, February and March. The 4 bedrooms had comfortable beds and room for storage when we had weekend guests. The casita worked perfectly for my Mother to have quiet and privacy. The kitchen was small but well stocked. Lastly the management was great and responded quickly to any issues we had during our stay. We love Palm Springs and this house fit all our needs and our guests all loved their visit at P.S. Groovy.

Overall we had a great time, the pool died when we were there but they had someone out to fix it the same day. Everyone was very pleasant to work with . Pictures make it look a little larger than it is, (mainly kitchen is tight for multiple people) but worked for the 4 of us. Great location.
