Description

K0028 - Wexler's Barbie House
El Rancho Vista Estates Area
City ID: 3239 TOT Permit: 3085

Famed Midcentury architect, Donald Wexler designed this one-of-a-kind home in 1959 for the Mattel Family, paying special tribute to the American toy company’s iconic “Barbie” doll.

Built by Roy Fey in El Rancho Vista Estates, the Barbie House boasted Wexler’s famous "Capri" floorplan with a rare 4th bedroom, and its full exterior was painted a special “Barbie” pink. Today the classic “Barbie” color still accents the home’s signature concrete shadow block walls and interior spaces, and the original floorplan remains intact, just as it was sold in 1959.

Nestled in this idyllic community of Wexler's famous roof-lines, and set against a stunning mountain skyline, Barbie’s dazzling midcentury masterpiece is the quintessential Palm Springs retreat. Indoors, the Home’s playful history is preserved by its colorful and eccentric design; each room coming equipped with all the modern conveniences that make a home just as comfortable as it is fabulous

In the backyard, magnificent alpine views wrap the property and peak high above a crystal blue pool and custom spa, painting the perfect Palm Springs setting to soak up the sun, and more importantly, a few cocktails. In the rare instances where guests are not poolside, they’ll find a fully-stocked kitchen indoors, complete with stainless steel appliances and fine cookware; a wildly glamorous entertainment area with loads of midcentury charm; plush beds and flat screen HDTVs in all 4 bedrooms (1 double, 1 queen, 2 kings).

While staying at The Barbie House you can also enjoy the many board games or vintage television DVD's provided by the owner; there is even a 4 hole putting green in the backyard, just steps away from the pool and spa.

With its retro-whimsical décor and ultra-chic outdoor digs, this home is guaranteed to entertain, enchant and enliven every guest!

Quiet and Relaxing Mid Century Modern Home

Recently visited the Mid Century Modern Barbie House and found it to be very quiet and relaxing.  Walking in the front door, the polished concrete floors will catch your eye. The two primary bedrooms (king beds) face and have direct access to the pool while the other two bedrooms (queen beds) face the front of the house; all bedrooms nice in size.    With the 2.75 baths, it makes it perfect for the primary bedrooms to have their own bathrooms while the other two are able to share the full bath in the hallway.   The walk-in pool is more than ample with the deep end being 8 feet.  This home also sits in a very nice neighborhood with only two ways in and out with the cul-de-sacs off the main street.   In the 20 years that I have been vacationing in Palm Springs, and renting numerous homes for up to a month at a time, this home’s living quarters for sure exceeded my expectations.  I guess when built, Barbie said, “Go big or go home”.

This house was so fun and very well kept. Great pool and lots of amenities. We had a lot of fun taking pictures under the PS sign, by the putting green and pretty much everywhere. The attention to detail here is outstanding. The living room sofa is really comfy too and we all piled onto it one night for a movie. The kitchen is completely stocked with everything you need. The only problem we had was the AC. Granted it was the hottest week on record but we were told not to go below 75° and if it was over 100° not to go below 80° on the thermostat or the ac unit would freeze over. The primary suite is on the opposite side of the house from the thermostat so it was extremely hot and hard to sleep. But that was our only issue. I would definitely stay here again just maybe on a much cooler time of the year. **VRBO GUEST**

This is the second house that we stayed in in this neighborhood and loved both. We especially liked the master bedroom being apart from the other bedrooms, giving lots of privacy. Only one issue, no rail on the steps of the pool which made it almost impossible for my husband to get into the pool. please find us a house with a pool railing! Otherwise all was perfect.

This was one of the best rentals I have ever stayed at. It easily housed seven people. The pool and hot tub were great. We had issues with the kitchen sink and they came and fixed it within hours. Also the house was the cleanest Airbnb we had ever stayed at. Would highly recommend.

Great place to stay. No music allowed ever outside which is extreme but besides that it’s fabulous.

Our group stayed here for a long weekend and it was perfect for 8 people. Well laid out and with nice touches to give all guests room and privacy. The location is a bit further from the downtown area than I’m used to, about a 10 minute drive, which still is fairly close. Our only complaint is that the carpets are pretty dirty and stained but everything else was meticulously clean and stylish. It isn’t cared for my a host but rather a vacation rental company and they were very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
