ALL 5-STAR reviews! Lakefront King + Queen bed+ huge cnr balcony

Spectacular WATERVIEWS from Living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom and the huge wrap-around balcony! SPACIOUS inside and out! Plantation shutters throughout. Decorated in a coastal theme.

Luxurious master suite with private access to balcony, 50" flat screen TV, and a comfy reading chair. Two 10' mirrored closets and private bath. Quality linens. New spring-foam mattress.

Guest bedroom has queen size bed, 10' mirrored closet, reading chair, lots of pillows, quality bedding and new spring-foam mattress.

Large capacity washer and dryer, all of the small appliances you might need coffee maker, elec water kettle, toaster, blender, hand mixer, crock pots, hair dryers, etc.

Right outside your door is the entrance to the unusual 1-mile long paved walking trail that meanders around the lake going past fishing docks, waterfalls, creeks, fountains, and lots ducks, geese, swans, fish, etc. You can stroll, jog, or run the trail or simply sit on the benches and relax! The lake is stocked with various types of fish with a catch & release policy.

There are multiple gas grills located throughout the grounds. The community offers a HEATED swimming pool surrounded by cactus and beautiful bougainvillea, where you can spend the day or evening simply relaxing. Next to the pool is a hot tub and private tennis and pickle ball courts. Our unit is steps away from the pool. And our brand new hot tub was completed in March!

The elevator is about 25 steps from this condo. From the parking lot you can take either the stairs (which is 1/2 up to the 2nd floor and 1/2 down to the ground floor) or the elevator. When you step off the elevator, turn left and it is the first condo.

Easy access to highways - located 1 block from the I-17. Close to all the fantastic sporting events and Spring Training. And best of all.. .only 18 minutes to/from the airport (non-rush hour).

This place offered my family a much needed quiet space to decompress after being with relatives all day. It was comfortable, clean and quiet. I loved being able to walk around the path and see all the ducks and geese. Thanks for a great stay.

Very nice
The property was in a condo complex, very quiet with a very nice view of the lake. We enjoyed taling walks around the lake at different times. The check-in was a bit rough but that was my fault as I failed to print the check-in process before leaving home so had to keep accessing via my phone. We enjoyed the area very much.phone.

Nice place
We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was very clean, nicely decorated and aptly furnished. We did a little bit of cooking and found the dish ware and pots and pans just what we needed. I was pleasantly surprised to find a filtered water pitcher in the fridge. Nice touch.I chose this condo because of the beautiful lake and all the green grass around it. A little oasis in the dessert. But when we arrived all the grass was torn up. They are just starting some new landscaping. So there were bull dozers right in front of our view and no greenery. Millie assured us that she had not been alerted to this. I don’t know how long the process will take but you might want to check with the owner before you book if you care about the lack of grass and the bull dozers. Everything else was just as we had expected. We would stay here again, hopefully with beautiful landscaping next time. 😊

Great Place
Desert Shores was as perfect a location that you can get. It was centrally located and close to everything. Our condo was fabulous. Very clean and very well stocked with anything you need as far as housewares are concerned. Our host was great, I never needed to talk to her, but she kept in contact via e-mail throughout our stay. Comforting to know she was available and concerned on how our stay was. How ever you grade 10 out 10, 5 stars or AAA, Desert Shores was that good for us.

The condo was exactly as described. Large wrap around covered deck overlooking a small lake. The lake has a walking path for owners/guests. There is a small fishing platform however we didnt use it. Location was very quiet yet close to everything. Highly recommend this vacation rental!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo. Everything was very clean and well appointed. The beds were extremely comfortable and the adjustable guest shower head was especially appreciated. We loved the lake view and enjoyed the walking path in the mornings. We also enjoyed having morning coffee on the balcony and swimming in the pool in the afternoon.

The perfect escape
We stayed here for a week from April 11th -18th, 2024. The unit was spacious and well laid out. Everything we needed was included here as well. And the cleaning was exceptional. Being a corner unit and so close to the lake was icing on the cake. We couldn't have been any happier with our experience and would recommend to anyone looking for a vacation spot!
