About this property

Lakefront Oasis 2b/2b, with Pontoon Boat, Clubhouse with Resort Amenities.

Our beautiful single level, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1650 sf waterfront home is in one of the most desirable communities in the area.

Once you are at the property, you will feel how relaxing it is while still being close to everything you would need to make your stay amazing. Past guests have commented that they feel like they are in a desert oasis.

With over 5 miles of shoreline, cruising the lake in our electric pontoon boat offers a quiet experience since gas motorboats are not allowed.

Spend a few hours traversing the waterway while you take in the beautiful homes along the waters edge. Wave to fellow residents as they pass by on their boats while they take advantage of living on the lake.

Head out on the lake in time to catch one of the beautiful Arizona sunsets.

Watch for turtles and other waterfowl, listen to the birds that live amongst the tree's that dot the shoreline, and try your hand at fishing (catch & release) if you bring your fishing pole. The lake is stocked with an assortment of fish every year, including bass.

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is a short 10-minute drive, as are Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, and Ahwatukee.

Central to ASU, stadiums, golf courses & ball parks.

Walking distance to many parks, shops, restaurants, grocery stores, bike/walking paths & more. Great hiking trails & mountain bike trails are a ten-minute drive from the property. Being close to freeways and mass transit allows for easy access to downtown Tempe (ASU & Mill Ave) & the greater Phoenix/Scottsdale area!

Lakefront decks (2 levels) allow for relaxing while you enjoy your morning coffee/breakfast, or an evening BBQ while you watch the sun go down. For those cooler evenings, the gas fire-pit will keep you warm.

Our home comes with use of the pontoon boat (easy to use).

Perfect place
Dianne and Robert were there when we arived. Showed us around and how to use everything. So nice and welcoming. We had tours booked every day for the week,so we didn't have a lot of time to spend at the house. But you could just stay here and not have to leave to spend a relaxing week. The house is amazing inside and out. You can use the pontoon which is sweet. They have such a nice lake to boat around, just prefect. They give you a card to use the club house a block away. The club house has everything fun to do. We walked to grocery store , they have more stores close. You can part your car and not need it for a week. That is amazing in itself.

It’s location was perfect, and provided us with easy access for all of the activities we had planned for the week, with the pontoon boat being a nice perk so we could tour around the community.

Fantastic Lake Villa!
Having rented VRBO’s in the US and abroad, I can say without reservation that this was one of the very best experiences ever. Robert and DiAnn were so accommodating and the home was both comfortable and well equipped. Having the use of bikes and the boat really enhanced the experience. We give this 5 Stars!

About the host

Hosted by DiAnn Bottomley & Robert Gutierrez

Host profile image
Having lived most of our lives in Washington State, Robert & I moved to Arizona in 2011. We are both retired from full time work, but keep busy with our hobbies, volunteering & traveling whenever & wherever we can. We use VRBO when traveling since we enjoy the more personal aspects of staying at a private residence rather than a hotel. Now that we find ourselves wanting to do more traveling we have decided to open our home to others that prefer private home rentals so we can go on more adventures. We are active adults & love being outdoors(one of the main reasons we chose Arizona). We both love to ride bikes-hybrid & road. We lead a relaxing lifestyle & are able to enjoy a glass(or 2) of wine, good food(albeit healthy) & much more time to explore & experience a variety of things. I, DiAnn, love gardening & continue to build an edible landscape here in the desert. It is amazing to see what grows in a small space. Robert loves to read and watch interesting movies & TV series/shows. We both love to spend time with our grandchildren, and entertaining new friends to share our new zest for living life! When the property is not rented we call the Villa our home. When the property is rented we will travel, visiting friends & family as well as places that we are interested in seeing.

Why they chose this property

We were lucky to find this little place in paradise and it reminds us a bit of where we lived in Washington(water, tree's). Having the clubhouse was the icing on the cake as it has so many amenities that we are never at a loss of things to do. The community hosts many events throughout the year....Christmas boat parade & lighting contest, Polar Ice plunge at the pool in winter, Cinco de Mayo, 4th of July, Fall Pot-luck, Community wide garage sale, and many more fun get togethers.

What makes this property unique

Honestly... central to the entire Valley make it amazingly easy to get around to many of the fun venues and tourist attractions in the area. One of the best things about this property is being directly on the water. We enjoy spending time cruising the shoreline In our pontoon boat, having dinner on our deck, watching the sunsets while enjoying our gas fire pit, and just relaxing to music or reading a good book. Having views of the water from the decks, living room & master bedroom are constant reminders that we chose a great place to call home. We have had a great deal of fun furnishing our home & continue to update, change & develop our property. Many of the items you see in our home have come from the places we travel to, We love supporting small business as we see the world. As our guest, we hope that you will appreciate our hard work to make this special place your home away from home.
