The home is especially suited to couples or close friends who appreciate good design and a little whimsy.

Against the home's colorful exterior, a custom pink and yellow swing set adds a little nostalgia, while loungers and a shaded daybed invite you to make an entire afternoon out of doing very little. The six-person hot tub sits on a wooden deck beside a striking outdoor Malm fireplace. It's a favorite spot to settle in as the desert cools and the surrounding landscape takes on the colors of the evening. For a different kind of dip, the cowboy tub offers a refreshing way to cool off on warmer days or enjoy a cold plunge in winter. It remains open year-round. There's also a covered patio for outdoor meals, a propane BBQ and a fire pit for gathering after dark. But perhaps the most unusual feature is the desert boat dock. Here, boats rest on dry land, offering a wonderfully unexpected place to recline, watch the changing sky and look up at the stars. With five private acres and no immediate neighbors, the property gives you plenty of room to wander between these spaces, find your favorite spot and enjoy the quiet. -Living Area- Warm, expressive and full of character, the living room is made for slowing down together. A sculptural electric Malm fireplace anchors the space, surrounded by a woven sofa, wooden lounge chairs and a richly textured pink rug. Natural light filters through generous windows, while warm wood and terracotta tones give the room a comfortable, lived-in feel. Put a record on the turntable, settle into the sofa with a book, or gather around the coffee table for a board game. A Bluetooth speaker lets you set the soundtrack, whether you're easing into the morning or spending an evening indoors. The adjoining dining area features a hand-painted wavy mural in pink and terracotta, continuing the home's playful design into another place to gather. -Kitchen and Dining- The remodeled kitchen brings together warm wood cabinetry, open shelving, white hexagonal tile and a retro-style refrigerator. New appliances, including a gas stove, make it easy to prepare meals at home, while stocked cookware, utensils, spices and olive oil take care of the essentials. Coffee drinkers have both a drip coffee maker and French press to choose from, along with provided coffee, sugar and creamer. A selection of teas is available, too. Enjoy breakfast at the indoor dining table, prepare something together after a day exploring, or take dinner outside to the covered patio. With a propane BBQ nearby and the desert just beyond, eating in can easily become one of the best parts of the stay. -Bedrooms and Bathrooms- Flamingo Social Club accommodates up to four guests across two individually styled bedrooms, each with a queen bed. The primary bedroom has a warm, earthy personality, with a rattan bed frame, patterned blush accent wall and soft textiles. A smart TV and dedicated desk offer a little extra flexibility, whether you want to unwind privately or catch up on work. The second bedroom embraces a more playful retro look, with graphic wallpaper, mustard-colored bedding and inviting textures. Like the rest of the home, the space feels carefully considered, with its own distinct character. The shared bathroom continues the color story with warm pink tile, limewashed walls, a sculptural vessel sink and round mirror. Brass fixtures and a rainfall shower complete the space, making even the everyday routines feel a little more special. -Surrounding Area- La Copine and the Giant Rock Meeting Room, among the best restaurants and bars in the area, are right nearby.
