About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront with 2 KING Beds and full-size bunks

Just renovated! This spacious condo is "picture perfect" and feels like you are on a SAFARI! Lots of elephants, zebras, tigers, and giraffes to keep you company. Fishing poles in the closet for catching bass or catfish (try the "Balls of fire" bait). Dozens and dozens of turtles can be spotted around the lake as well as ducks, geese and other waterfowl. The lake is gated / private for the community and includes a wonderful paved walking trail.

Huge 75" flat screen (smart) TV in the living room plus a 2nd TV in the maser suite. Beautiful tiled 9' tall showers in both bathrooms, brand new COMFY furniture (a sofa so big you can sleep on it), huge patio for relaxing at the end of day or sipping coffee at the beginning of your day.

Spacious master bedroom includes a zebra chaise lounge for afternoon naps, reading time, or just plain "me" time!

BEDS: Master bedroom has King size bed, Bedroom #2 has another King size bed, and Bedroom #3 has bunk beds (both full size).

Kitchen is open to dining room and living room creating a spacious feel with an amazing waterfront view! Laundry room has full-sized washer and dryer. Complete with iron and ironing board.

Convenient Keurig coffee maker AND a Mr Coffee, water kettle for traditional tea making, toaster, crock pot, mixer...all the small appliances you need if you want to cook or bake at home. Tons of dishware, glasses, mixing bowls, new copper pans, pots, etc.

Guaranteed to WOW you Lots of fluffy, soft towels. Pool towels included. Both bathrooms have hair dryers for your convenience. Lots of pillows per bed and quality linens.

We provide your first couple days of supplies such as: laundry pods, dish soap, hand soap, paper towel, toilet tissue, etc. Note: please bring your personal products like shampoo, deodorant, tooth paste etc.

Our community has a paved walking trail around the lake that is 1 mile long. It is gated so only the lakefront communities have access to the trail. Along the trail there are benches, fishing docks, waterfalls, rock fountains, a cool wooden bridge and lots of waterfowl. It is great for a quick jog in the morning or a leisurely stroll in the evening.

We have tennis/pickle ball courts (and we provide the tennis equipment in the condo!). A hot tub completes our pool area. Our pool is one of the few HEATED community pools in the Phoenix area (yes we provide pool towels in the condo!).

Family Togetherness for Memorial Service

Myself, my Mother, Aunt & cousin all flew into PHX for my Aunts memorial service. I ended up choosing this location because it was close to all the areas we needed to be for the weekend. The view of the lake outside from either the screened in patio or living room was great. That was the biggest talking point for the family. All three members thought I did a great job finding this unit. You could tell the owners were working on keeping the unit updated but you could also tell the unit & the complex were older. Over all the family members were happy & satisfied. That is all that matters.

MLB Spring Training Trip

My wife and I, along with our daughter and her husband traveled to Phoenix to catch some spring training baseball and stayed in Millie’s condo. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the layout was roomy and comfortable, the ground level unit had a great lakefront view and easy access to the walking path. The pool and spa were clean and a nice respite, along with a fun pickleball game. The central PHX location was convenient, with plenty of dining options nearby. We look forward to possible future trips to PHX and staying at Desert Shores again. Communication with Millie was prompt and made our stay a pleasure.

Great location and clean unit

My family and another stayed for a few days while we took in MLB Spring Training in March 2025. We originally chose this property as it looked unique, being on a little lake, close to but not too close to some restaurants and retail, and not far from Peoria Sports Complex. We enjoyed the stay in the unit. It was clean and had all the comforts we needed. My wife used the trail around the lake to run every morning, and we made use of the pool (also clean) and tennis courts. It was nice that the owner included tennis rackets and balls for our use. The pillows, sheets, and other linens were top notch. Very comfortable sleeping, and a quiet complex. A couple minor things that were less than ideal:1. I received 2 phone calls to go over the rules for renting and checkout. I thought this was a bit over-the-top - I read the rules (they were clear) and we abided by them. 2. All the locks around the complex and bars on units didn't leave a great first impression. That said, we didn't have any issues and everyone we encountered was really nice. 3. The bathrooms smelled a bit musty. I think it was probably the shower curtains needing cleaning. Overall, it was a great stay and we were happy renters.

Convenient, Peaceful and well equipped

Wow, the best equipped Vaca rental ever. Kitchen had every tool, lovely cooking pans, even a crockpot, linens. Beds were very comfortable. We loved sitting in the screen porch watching the ducks and geese in the pond, it was very relaxing, as was the gentle walk around the pond. We didn’t use the pool or pickleball court but both looked very nice. There are loads of restaurants close by, from fast food to more upscale, also Target, gas stations, and urgent care. The complex was always quiet, even at night. A great place to vacation. Thank you, Millie

A Sunny Escape from Sk Winter

The property was clean, comfortable and close to the pool. Photos on website are accurate. Close to amenities but we were glad that we had a vehicle. There was a little traffic noise at the back of the complex, and we would’ve liked a little more sun on the patio, but overall it was a nice place to stay.Millie checked in with us a couple times to make sure all our needs were met.

Awesome condo!

Loved everything about this condo! Plenty of space, very cozy and comfortable. The walking trail around the water is so peaceful. We loved spending the morning on the screened porch watching the ducks and geese. Millie and her team were very helpful throughout the booking process and provided clear communication about the condo. I would definitely stay here again.

Great spot by the lake

We loved having direct access to the walking path around the lake, watching the ducks and geese, sitting on a sunny bench, and the pool. The beds were comfy and the unit was clean. We didn’t find the leather living room sofa very comfortable but that may be a personal preference. The property worked very well for our family of 4 plus grandparent. We would stay again!

Phoenix Vacation

If you're looking for a quiet getaway - this is fantastic place to stay. Everything was so well stocked, parking was easy, walking path out the back door was convenient and the Master bed was soooo comfy. Communication was top notch and professional. Everything was just as pictured and very clean! The condo came with extras including pickle ball and games. Although we didn't travel with children, this place has a great setup for the kiddos as well along with utensils and popup crib. Plenty of seating space at the kitchen table along with a blender, hot water pot, spices and pots and pans galore. We had everything needed to do our cooking including extra sandwich bags. Time at the pool was great. Towels were included and we were glad it was heated as we traveled in March and the weather was unusually chilly for that time of year. Highly recommend this place for your next vacation!

Nice place, don’t live the location

The place was as described, very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. My only negative was the location within the phoenix area. There are alot of homeless people and the mall that was once down the street is closed and there is not much close by. I would it fee comfortable walking to a near by restaurant, you have to drive.

Winter Getaway

Desert Shores is centrally located and is a short distance to shopping areas. The walking path through out the property is very handy. The pool and hot tub were both warm and clean. There are several BBQ’s throughout the property that made it easy to prepare our own meals. Everyone we met were very friendly and welcoming. The condo itself was very clean, well appointed and came as described. We loved it. Millie communicated with us on a couple of occasions to make sure everything was going well. We will definitely be back!!!!

Great Condo, Very Comfortable and Roomy!

We spent 4 nights and really enjoyed our stay! Millie was a wonderful host, always quick to respond to any questions that we had. The beds are VERY comfortable which is a big plus for us. The walking path around the little lake was great! The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes and cookware as well as some essentials. The washer is large and able to handle a full load vs. some rentals where the washers are tiny. The large couch and TV in the living area were perfect at night for my family. We hiked Arrowhead Point which was a quick drive from the condo and enjoyed some great dinners out nearby in Glendale and Phoenix (Chantico, Arrowhead Grill). Plenty of shops and other restaurants closeby. The weather was not great while we were there so we didn't utilize the pool, but did use the hot tub and it was clean and hot! We would definitely stay again!
