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.

Oversized 65" flat-screen smart TV in the living room, super comfy leather sofas and two walls of windows overlooking the lake!

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.

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. 😊

Had a very relaxing stay, enjoyed a daily morning walk around the lake with lots of turtle sightings and found the balcony a lovely spot for coffee or wine depending on the time of day. Place was very clean and comfortable. Great location for our needs. Hope to stay again.

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.

Perfect location, lovely condo!
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!

Great time in Phoenix
We just returned from our stay at this property. It is even better than the pictures. It was very clean, nicely decorated with comfortable furniture and beds throughout. The kitchen was very well stocked for anything you would want to prepare.The condo community has nice pool, pickleball/tennis courts and walking path. Everything you need is at the condo. This place is awesome! Even the other guests/residents are great. Location is central to many things. We always chose to drive because there were always a lot of people on the sidewalks. Busy neighborhood but condo community is very quiet. We would stay at this location again!

Good holiday choice!
We needed a place as centrally located as possible to visit with the many family members who live in the wide Phoenix area. It was very convenient to go east or west or north or south. The condo had what we needed for ourselves and those who visited us. So much better than a hotel - for meals, privacy, the lake view for integrating the many memories - old and new. My husband kept saying what I great job I had done choosing this condo.
