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!
