About this property

Chic Mid Century Bungalow at Famed Ocotillo Lodge

  • Welcome to Desert Digs, a midcentury escape in the historic Ocotillo Lodge, located in South Palm Springs just minutes from downtown. Built as a luxury hotel in 1956 with renowned architects Dan Palmer and William Krisel, the property was originally designed to attract celebrity clientele, and was a popular destination for Hollywood elite such as Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball.

    The bungalow is located in one of the best locations within the complex - the unit’s wall of windows open to a spacious private patio with direct west mountain views . Relax on the patio while enjoying the sunset, spend the day basking in the sun at the champagne cork shaped heated pool, or enjoy hanging out at the iconic Sunshine Bar (BYOB).


    The bungalow was renovated with its midcentury history as inspiration. It features floor to ceiling sliding glass doors, tile floors throughout, sleek and minimalist kitchen cabinets, and a 260 sq foot patio. The condo has a full kitchen (cooktop - FYI no oven!), dishwasher, washer/dryer and BBQ. The bed is King Size and very comfy! The location of the property is within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. Come and enjoy all that South Palm Springs has to offer!

The host very welcoming and helpful. As older adult guests, the host was patient and quickly responded to our questions. The amenities were as described plus some extras that were not expected like the portable fire pit. The sofa and bed were very comfortable! The shower was good quality and warm! Loved the Mid Century decor throughout. Nice kitchen and a great dishwasher! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Fantastic place to stay in Palm Springs. Close to everything, including downtown. Condo is perfect for a couple/two people and has everything you may need. Bed is comfortable and the outdoor patio is awesome with great views. Community pool is large with plenty of chairs and beautiful views of the mountains. Owners were very nice and friendly to communicate with. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

A Little Piece of Paradise

I thoroughly enjoyed this property. It's cozy and comfortable with awesome Palm Springs vibes. The property is spotless and very well equipped.....the owners have thought of everything a person could need! The bed is very comfortable with nice crisp linen.

Fabulous clean well located mid-century condo!

Delightful Bungalow

This little condo is a gem! It is beautifully decorated, well-stocked, very clean, and easy to get to. The bed was very comfortable and the windows let in the best soft, morning light! The space is perfect for couples, and the lodge has the best vacation vibes. Kelsey was so easy to work with and was very responsive when our travel plans went a bit awry due to flight issues. We would love to visit again!

In between friend groups visiting Palm Springs. I loved using the cruiser bike, walking to Koffi two blocks away and enjoying the lovely pool area. This unit was tastefully decorated with color and all the things I could need for a fabulous stay. Thank you Kelsey and Travis!

Cute little getaway

Lovely place, well appointed. It was cute, clean and charming. It had everything you would expect and the property is very quiet. The pool was nice and warm and we loved taking morning strolls around the Twin Palms neighbourhood. The homes were beautiful, the view of the mountains was spectacular. The check in was as easy as it can be in Palm Springs (there are a lot of short term rental restrictions/rules in PS). We loved the location - you are outside the heart of the city, but you get to see some different places and everything is 10 minutes away regardless. We walked to neighbourhood bars and restaurants.

Palm Springs

We very much enjoyed staying at Desert Digs. The owners/hosts went above and beyond providing everything you would need to comfortably be in a home. Easy, excellent communication. MCM decor was fun and bright - the bed super comfy. Downtown and groceries are a short drive. We enjoyed the bikes the hosts provided and rode the city loop one morning - also explored the neighborhood north and south of downtown. Palm Springs is bike lane friendly. We also walked to Native Foods for take out dinner that was vegan delicious! Thank you for a great stay in Palm Springs!

We loved both the condo and the facilities at the Ocotillo Lodge. The condo was adorable, clean and had ample drawers/storage to unpack. Everything about it made us feel at home during our stay. Our host Kelsey responded to all my pre-stay questions immediately and she left a very thorough guest book. The Lodge and pool were beautiful and we found the other guests to be lovely. We will definitely recommend Desert Digs to others and hope to be back again!!

We had the most relaxing stay here at The Desert Digs! Beautifully decorated chic mid century modern, conveniently located down the road from Downtown PS, easy access to the pool, loved hanging out on the cute patio at night and Kelsey was so accommodating & easy to reach whenever I had any questions regarding the property or any local recommendations.

My husband and I had a fabulous time in Palm Springs staying at Desert Digs. The property was absolutely lovely and in a fantastic location. The condo looks exactly as pictured- which is why I booked it in the first place- retro but very comfortable! We used the bikes every day to ride around the neighborhood and even rode into PS for dinner one night. Will definitely stay again.
