We really enjoyed our stay. Very nice condo with a beautiful view from the nicely furnished balcony. Beds are very comfortable. This condo had everything we needed. Our grandchildren had a wonderful time in the pool. We would definitely stay here again.
We loved this condo! Plenty of space for my husband and I and our two children. The kids loved the pool and walking trail. The location was great for everything we wanted to do. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. Even had some toys for the pool! We would highly recommend!
My family had a great stay at this condo :) Host was very responsive with my questions and needs. Very clean and had everything you may need. Great walking path around pond area in gated community. Pool and jacuzzi were warm and clean. Highly recommend staying and will be again in the future.
Beautiful condo in a great location! Very central to all we wanted to see and do. We didn’t really cook much but the impressive kitchen has everything you could need.

Thank you Rachelle for your wonderful comments and the 5 star review! I'm so glad you enjoyed our tennis courts which were recently renovated to include pickle ball. We try to go above and beyond by including equipment you might need such as tennis, pickle ball, and fishing supplies! I'm so glad you took advantage of our amenities! The walking trail is especially nice in the mornings when dozens of turtles are resting on the rocks. Please come and stay with us again....Millie

Thank you Steve for the awesome 5 STAR rating. Guests are our top priority and we love to help out whenever we can.
Please come stay with us again....we offer return guest discounts. We have 7 condos at Desert Shores to select from and each has a different décor (Adobe, Safari, seaside, industrial, cowgirl, worldy, and crystal-barn).
thank you, Millie
My experience at this place was great! A really comfortable 3 bedroom (one being a bunk bed) stay satisfied my family’s needs to be well rested, along with a sweet room to do laundry to keep our clothes clean! Bathrooms were especially nice, accompanied with comforting showers and adequate space to relax, eat food, and other things. Would 100% recommend!
We loved the balcony where we sat and drank coffee and read in the morning. The view from the balcony of the water was beautiful! The condo was extremely clean and we enjoyed the pool.

About the host
Hosted by Millie Richardson
We have been coming to the Valley for 15 years to enjoy the sunshine and escape the blizzards of Michigan. We enjoy traveling the world and immersing ourselves in other cultures. I love re-designing living spaces to incorporate a natural sense of serenity while creating a feeling of simple elegance.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this home as I am sure everyone else will because of the spacious feeling of the soaring ceilings and beautiful view of the waterfall as well as the soothing sound of it! The southwest Pueblo decor throughout uses a neutral color palette which adds to the feeling of serenity. The home is like a very private retreat but at the same time you can experience the community by walking the shores of the lake or relaxing at the HEATED pool. Until purchasing a home here I didn't realize that most pools in Phoenix are NOT heated!
What makes this property unique
I selected this location because the community is very quiet but convenient to everything in the metro-Phoenix area plus some great restaurants are in the immediate neighborhood.
