Property Description

Unit 16 at Coco Cabana is the kind of property that earns its reputation. Fully furnished and move-in ready, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo was featured on the 2025 and 2026 Modernism Week Tour -- a recognition reserved for homes that genuinely stand out. It sits in one of the best positions in the community, with sweeping mountain views from the back patio and living areas, plus commercial-grade windows and sliders that let in desert light while keeping sound and energy loss out. The renovation was done right. Quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and porcelain tile flooring run throughout, creating a clean and consistent look that holds up whether you're living here full time, using it as a weekend escape, or hosting guests. The living, dining, and kitchen spaces are well-defined and easy to move through. Both bedrooms are generous. Both bathrooms are updated. Nothing feels like an afterthought. Charles W. Doty designed Coco Cabana in 1955 and later converted it into 31 residences, a boutique mid-century enclave on roughly 5 acres in South Palm Springs with a saltwater pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, and grounds lined with citrus trees, olives, and seasonal color. The community allows short-term rentals, making this as strong a financial move as it is a lifestyle one. With fee-simple land, a dedicated carport, and one of the area's most desirable addresses, Unit 16 makes a clear case for itself. The layout flows effortlessly for daily living or entertaining, with defined living, dining, and kitchen spaces anchored by quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and porcelain tile flooring, a cohesive, low-maintenance design that guests and owners alike will appreciate. Both bedrooms are generously sized, and the updated bathrooms share the same clean, modern finish. Designed in 1955 by Charles W. Doty and thoughtfully converted into 31 residences, Coco Cabana is a boutique mid-century community set on approximately 5 acres with a saltwater pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, and lush grounds dotted with citrus trees, olives, and vibrant seasonal blooms. Fee-simple land, a dedicated carport, and a prime South Palm Springs address round out a property that delivers on architecture, lifestyle, and long-term value, whether you're here every weekend or renting it out while you're away.
