​​​​​​​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 traveling 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 blocks 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 neighborhood courts just a few blocks 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 cozy 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 movie 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 vacation rental means that we welcome dogs only. No other pets are allowed. **

SLEEPING QUARTERS This property sleeps 4 guests between 2 bedrooms. In the primary suite, find a king-size bed and flat-screen TV, backyard access via sliding doors, and a full en-suite bathroom with tiled walk-in shower. The 2nd bedroom, equally as bright and contemporary, has a queen size bed, flat-screen, and backyard access. This bedroom makes use of the full bath just outside its door, with tiled walk-in shower.

THE LOCATION Located in the historic Movie Colony East neighborhood, this property is just blocks from the house Frank Sinatra called home in Palm Springs, a 13-minute walk or 3-minute drive to the tennis courts at Ruth Hardy Park, and just a few houses down from the Palm Springs Citywide bike loop. World-famous Palm Canyon Drive, home to excellent shopping, dining, and people-watching, is just a mile from the front door. And the casino, convention center, and world-class golf, tennis, and hiking trails are all within a short drive.

Warm, Inviting, and Resort‑Like:Staying at Gussie’s Place was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, the home felt incredibly inviting—I instantly felt its warmth, comfort, and thoughtful design. The layout truly gives off a resort‑cottage vibe, flowing beautifully from the stylish interior to the well‑kept backyard and sparkling saltwater pool.The host was amazing—friendly, responsive, and attentive to every detail. The house was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed to make our vacation enjoyable. Whether we were relaxing in the sunny living area, cooking in the gorgeous marble‑island kitchen, or lounging by the pool with mountain views, every moment felt special.The backyard is a private oasis with a pool, spa, fire pit, and shaded lounging areas. We loved the outdoor rec space with ping pong, cornhole, yoga mats, and tennis gear—it added so much fun to our stay. And being just minutes from downtown Palm Springs and all the restaurants made exploring effortless.I highly recommend Gussie’s Place to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and memorable getaway. It’s the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and Palm Springs charm.

Well stocked kitchen. Beds very comfy. Plenty of pillows for different likes. Yard is lovely. Pool was too cold but the ping pong table made up for the disappointment with granddaughter. Really fun town and proximity was awesome.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2024
Very spacious with a swimming pool. Air conditioning malfunction during our stay. Was very hot in the summer. Very well furnished. Unfortunately somebody from the property stole my Amazon account password & ordered a cooler for themselves!!! Quickly realized it & was corrected. Don’t know who did that. The property manager assured that proper action would be taken care of . No word so far. Be careful if you are using the WiFi account of the property.
