Palm Springs: where the sun shines 350 days a year, and the short-term rental market is hotter than the summer pavement. This desert oasis pulled in over $500 million in Airbnb revenue last year, fueled by a steady stream of travelers looking for mid-century charm, golf course views, and poolside perfection. But with increasingly tight STR regulations, finding a property with no rental restrictions? That’s like stumbling upon a hidden oasis in the Mojave.
Enter today’s featured listing—a rare, STR-approved home sitting pretty on fee land (you own it!) with zero restrictions and direct access to the Tahquitz Creek Golf Course.
