Spring Break

Great place for our family to relax. Being from Seattle, this sunshine stay was just what we needed. The unit is clean, quiet, safe and close enough to shops. Great heated pool and appreciated the lake walking path. Communication was excellent and we felt like a priority to our host.

Beautiful Condo, great complex

We came to escape the cold! Desert Shores is a great complex. We loved the beautiful walking path, with the lake and all kinds of birds. The pool area was awesome and the heated pool was so nice! We loved playing pickleball, with the paddles and balls provided. Pool towels and noodles are provided. The kitchen is very well stocked It is fixed up very nice, we would definitely stay here again.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the condo. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need to prepare meals or just enjoy coffee.

Taste of Spring

We came to Phoenix for a taste of spring and some spring training baseball. Millie’s place is a wonderful condo with everything you need for relaxing mornings and evenings on the balcony overlooking the lake. We enjoyed the property’s pool and hot tub as well as the walking paths around the lake. It is a tranquil little spot in the middle of the urban sprawl.

What a beautiful condo!

We had an amazing stay at the Lakefront Zen condo. It was very peaceful. Cathedral ceilings really added to the spacious feel. Everyone in our group loved the décor and the comfortable beds. We walked the lake trail every morning and counted dozens of turtles. We will definitely return.

February 2023 stay

We were very happy with this condo especially because of the walking path around the lake and property. The condo itself was accurately described and the owner was readily available to answer/address any questions or concerns. Unfortunately, the weather was far from normal and negatively affected the enjoyment of our 3 week stay. We would highly consider this property again.

Beautiful place

The condo was clean, well supplied, beautifully decorated and has a gorgeous view of the lake, lots of ducks and geese and turtles. Everything was very comfortable and was quiet (didn’t notice neighbors at all and the ones we did come across were super friendly). There wasn’t any fish in the lake which one of the neighbors told us was because of the pumps being down and hasn’t been stocked for the year. The estate complex, pool, and tennis courts were clean and well maintained. The walk around the lake was great and felt safe (but the surrounding area did not feel safe and was pretty run down).

Comfy condo

This condo was perfect for my family of 4. Everything is as advertised. The property is very quiet and peaceful. The walk around the lake is beautiful. We had a small problem with a leaky sink in bathroom on Christmas Day, and both the management company and owner responded promptly. My husband and daughter complained that the beds were hard, but I didn’t have any issues. The only think that I can say is that the geese are really noisy at night. They woke us on several nights, but that’s nature. I would recommend this condo.

Excellent Glendale stay with extras

Millie is a super helpful host! She has everything arranged for an enjoyable stay: fishing poles, pickleball paddles, crockpot, all of the kitchen basics for meals. Although we ended up staying during a cold rainy snap, we were thankful for the locked walking path. The hot tub and pool are kept exceptionally pristine. The only comments I might mention are not within Millie’s control: this area is declining with aging properties. This complex is not gated with a bit of trash in the parking lot. Bring a method for white noise and light blocking, which is common for condo complexes. Within a few minutes of any kind of food and shopping you may want, but it is in the aging Metro Mall area. Always felt safe and secure. Good people seems to live here.

Dessert Shores Review

I have rented from this property owner for two years in a row(different units same complex). This unit was extremely clean, quiet, had ample supply of linens, bedding, dishes, and household items (tennis racquets, pickle ball racquets, pool towels etc.). The pool and tennis/pickle ball courts were easily accessible, clean, spacious and free of damage and or hazards. The complex is well lit (when dark) and easy to navigate. There was an elevator with easy access close to this unit, which was handy for bringing luggage in and out, as it is a third story unit. The balcony over looking the pond was spacious, clean and a very relaxing atmosphere to enjoy the scenery. The balcony overlooks the pond that has an abundance of a variety of ducks, Canada Geese, and turtles. The beds and seating were all very comfortable enhancing ones ability to have a restful stay. This location is close to an abundance of amenities all within a very reasonable distance. The owner was very professional, even checking in with us during our stay to ensure that everything was meeting our expectations. I would stay here again and recommend to others without hesitation. It was a true "home away from home for us!"

This was not a destination-style resort (not that it claimed to be) but was very nice. Elevator was inconvenient in that you had to walk up or down a half flight of stairs to get to it.
