Luxury short-term rentals in the desert Southwest are having a serious moment, with revenue up 20% year-over-year as travelers flock to high-end retreats that blend modern design with breathtaking landscapes. Today’s featured property is a shining example of why this region is becoming a go-to destination for upscale stays.

Perched on a mountainside with walls of glass that frame panoramic views of both the city and the rugged desert horizon, this home is designed to impress. Guests can spend their days lounging by the heated pebble pool and their evenings marveling at the twinkling city lights—it's the kind of experience they’ll gladly pay top dollar for.

Inside, the details are just as stunning: four en-suite bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen with gourmet appliances, and a primary suite featuring a spa-like soaking tub and floating dual vanity. Add owned solar power and the increasing demand for eco-conscious stays, and this property is poised to stand out in an already thriving market.

In a region known for its blend of dramatic scenery and upscale living, homes like this can command nightly rates of $800 or more. Don’t miss your chance to own one of the most enviable spots on the rental map. Check it out in today’s newsletter, along with other incredible finds!
