                                Thank you very much for renting your great condo. We found it in a very clean and in good condition and would always recommend it to friends. Working with both Kelly and Shaun was wonderful, they could not have been more helpful.

                                What a perfect loction for a week retreat to the desert. The location on the golf course was relaxing and condo was so comfortable for 4 friends to enjoy golf, shopping and the great weather. Working with Kelly was a pleasure and I will be passing the information on to friends and family.

                                We spent a week at The Lakes and really loved it. The property has a very central location surrounded by fun things like countless golf courses and Mortons Steak House and by necessities like Ralphs grocery store. The condominium is very nicely furnished and has a well-appointed kitchen. It was all very comfortable and pleasant, and we'll definitely short-list it if we return to the desert. And the weather was so perfect, such a nice change from the Boston winter.

                                We really enjoyed our firstl desert visit at the hottest time of the year, late August, and Kelly your lovely condo had a lot to do with our happy get away being so perfect. Your condo had all that we could possibly have needed for a stay of several weeks let alone the few days we were able to get away. The Lakes is an ideal spot for families and/of couples. Nice to have met Shawn...a bonus for us. See you again.

                                My wife and I enjoyed our second stay in 2011 at the Lakes Country Club. Kelly has done a wonderful job in making her "rental" feel more like our own home. She and her husband have thought of all the details that make traveling difficult. Well equipped kitchen; bathroom; bedrooms; outdoor furniture; pool towels etc. Arriving late at night and traveling from the east coast, we were excited to know we did not have to run to the store to purchase soap, coffee and the other small things we all tend to forget when we travel. Everything we needed was at their home which made for a welcome change. They have wonderful indoor and outdoor furniture and a very clean home.....how nice to find this gem in the desert. We look forward to coming back to this property. If you are looking for a relaxing rental with high-end furnishings at price tag that will not shock you.....this rental in the Lakes Country Club is a must.

                                Two couples have just spent a week in this wonderful retreat! We couldn't have asked for more. Owner Kelly Murphy was very attentive, helpful, and most welcoming. The unit is beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, very comfortable, and the kitchen has everything! Kelly provided extensive information on what to do in the area...complete with maps and brochures. The Lakes complex is landscaped beautifully. The view of the golf course from the condo is great and the property is a wonderful place for walking while enjoying the scenery. We enjoyed the spa services and had a delicious dinner in the lovely dining room at the Club House. The location in Palm Desert provides easy access to the entire area. We hope to return!

                                We stayed at this beautiful home for a week and are thrilled to return in March. The decor is lovely and after staying 15 years in different rental units this is a cut above. The owner was professional, timely, and friendly and the condo was shinning. I would recommend this to all. Thanks to the owners: I have special needs such as oxygen and they made this work. Thanks for being you

The Retreat is spacious and well decorated. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large and comfortable. We were not sure we'd like the desert but we would come back here again and recommend it highly.

                              Owner info

                              Year Purchased: 2006

                              About the owner: The clear, crisp desert landscape is exhilarating. We grew up coming here with our family for years and finally purchased a home of our own. We're the 3rd generation to find this desert enchanting and stress relieving. We know you will too!

                              Why the Owner Chose Lakes Country Club:
                              We knew we had to be close to everything the desert has to offer, and Palm Desert sits in the heart of the Coachella Valley. The Lakes Country Club, in particular, was our first choice for the lovely, manicured grounds, sparkling lakes, and the active and friendly Clubhouse.

                              The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
                              Whether you wish to hit the town for shopping, fine dining, golf or tennis, or just take it easy in the lovely warm climate, Palm Desert has it all. One of our favorite weekend jaunts is roaming the stalls at the College of the Desert (COD) outdoor Street Fair. They offer everything from a bargain pair of sunglasses to freshly grown local produce. Of course, every good shopper can't miss strolling along El Paseo's promenade of galleries and boutiques. For the golfer, you are surrounded by the finest courses in the world.
