About this property
Apollo 1000 - Space Age Luxury Palm Springs Retreat
P.S. City ID #3031 | Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age to rent (Proof of age required)
Welcome to Apollo 1000, a modernist luxury escape in the heart of Movie Colony East, where dramatic mountain views, iconic architecture, and curated art come together to create an unforgettable Palm Springs experience. This designer estate feels like stepping into a glamorous film set—sleek lines, soaring ceilings, museum-worthy photography, and sunlight pouring through walls of glass. It's high-style living designed for relaxation, inspiration, and gathering with the people you love. Beds: K, K, K (or 2TT)
From the moment you arrive, you feel the privacy, the stillness, and the unmistakable Palm Springs vibe. You're just a short walk from the Uptown Design District and Palm Canyon Drive, yet tucked inside a quiet, upscale neighborhood where the mountains feel impossibly close.
OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES The resort-style yard is where you'll spend long, sun-drenched days and unforgettable desert nights. Sip coffee while the mountains glow at sunrise, stretch out on chaise lounges by the sparkling pool, and drift between the spa, shaded loungers, and sculptural seating areas. Gather around the fire feature at sunset for cocktails or conversation.
Grill dinner and dine under the open sky at the large outdoor table. The putting green adds playful energy to the space, and the dramatic zebra sculpture has become a guest-favorite backdrop for photos. The entire yard is walled for privacy, creating your own secluded desert oasis.
** The pool will be heated 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. If you home has a spa or hot tub, heating the spa 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, Apollo 1000 delivers a seamless indoor–outdoor flow that defines luxury Palm Springs living. The expansive great room opens wide to the pool yard, filling the home with natural light and mountain views. Lounge together on designer furniture, shoot a game of billiards, or unwind by the wood-clad fireplace on cool desert evenings.
The curated art collection immerses you in late-1960s glamour—Apollo Mission imagery, mid-century architectural photography, and nods to Palm Springs' Hollywood legacy. A sleek, fully equipped kitchen makes it easy for your group to cook, snack, or gather for cocktails before heading out to dinner.
Remote workers will appreciate the dedicated workstation and whole-house mesh WiFi (400 Mbps). Everything about the home has been designed for comfort, beauty, and modern living.
** 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 three private bedroom suites create a boutique-hotel experience, each with its own ensuite bathroom, flatscreen TV, and luxury mattress. Wake up refreshed, open the sliders, and step directly into the warm morning air from two of the rooms.
The Primary Suite offers a King bed, pool access, a spa-inspired bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower, double vanity, and a convenient in-suite washer/dryer. The second suite features a King bed (convertible to two Twins on request) and a private bath—ideal for friends traveling together.
The third suite includes a King bed, an ensuite bath, and its own door to the outdoors, perfect for guests who love an early swim or quiet morning nook.
THE LOCATION Set on a corner lot in the elite Movie Colony East, this home places you moments from the best of Palm Springs. Walk 12 minutes to Palm Canyon Drive and the Uptown Design District, where boutiques, galleries, cocktail bars, and iconic restaurants line the streets. Wander to Ruth Hardy Park for tennis, scenic paths, and people-watching. With groceries, takeout favorites, and fine dining all close by, you can enjoy the freedom of a car-free vacation while still feeling tucked away in a peaceful residential enclave.

Very nice house in a historical neighborhood.
House was clean and accurately described as in the property description.
Pool was dirty upon arrival but was promptly cleaned late in the day and I really appreciated it.
Great location!
We will be back again .:-)
Beautiful home, spacious, so many things to do. Pool is so relaxing. Comfortable beds, feels like home. We never left the house all weekend! Loved having books, games, and puzzles available in addition to the pool table, putting green, ping pong, and corn hole. And on top of all this it is pet friendly. We can’t wait to come back.
Myself and friends stayed here for 5 nights. The house is well appointed with plenty of entertainment. Highlights were the fire place, fire pit, hot tub, and ping pong table. Would definitely recommend this property.
Adorable, well-appointed home in a lovely neighborhood. Lots of fun touches (pool table, golf green, corn hole, ping pong), and super close to shopping, great restaurants and a terrific park. A real gem!
The house was amazing!
Love the horseshoe design of the house around the pool, and the yard was fabulously designed. We took full advantage of all of the amenities (mini golf, cornhole, table tennis, pool).
The beds were comfortable and the AC in this home was stellar (we’ve stayed in many rentals in Palm Springs, and it’s always hit-or-miss with how cool the house is during the summer).
Beautifully well stocked kitchen (even had Tupperware for the leftovers – usually rentals miss that small detail).
Will definitely stay again.
One of the most spacious and well-appointed homes I've rented in the PS area. The beds are comfy, plenty of towels/pool towels, and kitchen is well stocked with everything you'd need to cook meals in the home.
I was glad to see there was new pool furniture and additional umbrellas for shade. Made staying out in the summer desert sun a bit more bearable. Be careful though: the artificial grass can get quite hot in the sun.
Very nice, well equipped house. Stunning living room with pool table. Comfortable beds, lots of storage space, every bedroom has ensuite bathroom which is really comfortable.
There were two minor things which bothered me:
1. you could hear the traffic from the street when relaxing outside;
2. the pool area could use some update: some the tiles around the pool are damaged, and two older sunbeds should be removed because they look really ugly.
My husband, our two adult sons, and I spent two glorious weeks at Apollo 1000. The house is stunning and spotless. The pool and grounds were extraordinary. It was very hard to leave!
Stay was amazing.......House is better than the photo's. We really enjoyed our stay there. Highly recommend this location. Thank you to the owners for being so accommodating during our stay. Our whole group had a great time. Acme was also great to deal with, check in and out was super easy. Thank you again.

What a fantastic vacation rental! The Apollo 1000 was exactly as described - nothing disappointed. The house is centrally located, and the outside space is extremely private. We would definitely recommend it for guests who enjoy swimming and playing pool. The kitchen was well stocked, the house beautifully styled and extremely comfortable. Thank you for a very relaxing week.

This house was amazing !! We stayed @ Apollo 1000 for a much needed mini vacation . The pictures are beautiful but honestly it’s even more grand in person .. the living room is huge as well as the master suit , the location is perfect close to the grocery store , and close to down town .. we loved loved loved this house .. we are looking forward to our next trip to Palm Springs we will stay here again that’s for sure .. acme was also great to deal with , super helpful towards any question we had durning our stay . Also check in check out was super smooth. This is the place to stay , wrap it up with one word AMAZING !!!!
We’ve done Palm Springs rentals four times now - all have been wonderful, but this place was our favorite! It’s huge with all bedrooms having an en suite bathroom. The location is perfect. A couple blocks from Ruth Hardy Park & a 10-15 minute walk to restaurants on Palm Canyon Dr.
Check in and check out was easy. Pool was definitely large enough, but maybe not quite as large as the pictures make it seem. Loved our stay. Will be back!

Great house
The place was amazing. Small things weren’t working but were somewhat fixed and did not hinder our stay. Communication with property management could have been better. Often had to call several times to get answers or things fixed.
Although this house is close to everything in Palm Springs, when you're sitting by the pool you really feel separate from it all. It was a true treat to get away during this pandemic. We also took a day trip one day to Joshua Tree and that was only 45min away. The property managers are responsive and even available nights and weekends to help. Highly recommend!
