Palm Desert Creekside Studio @ Shadow Mountain! Pools, Golf, walk to El Paseo.

Looking for a winter getaway? Ready to enjoy a week, month, or long weekend in Palm Desert? Participating in a tennis, pickleball, or golf tournament, or enjoying as a spectator? Attending a concert or one of the April music festivals? Coming to Eisenhower Medical Center for work or treatment? On a work assignment to the general area? Traveling nurse? Wanting a personal "reading retreat"? Remodeling your house and needing a temporary place to stay? A family reunion or fun time with friends where you need multiple or overflow units? Need a bed for the babysitter? Or maybe you just love being in the desert - and at beautiful Shadow Mountain in particular? Whatever the reason, welcome to our studio condo ... your perfect desert retreat!

An oasis located in the historic Shadow Mountain Resort in south Palm Desert, our freshly painted and recently updated and refurbished ground floor, south-facing corner Creekside king studio condo offers a sought-after location ideal for those seeking a relaxing and comfortable stay in the desert. Simply stated, our Shadow Mountain Condo in Palm Desert is the Perfect Place to Call “Home” during your stay in the desert!

• Spacious, Light-Filled Living Area: The condo is bathed in natural light throughout the day, thanks to a large sliding glass door and window that create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Enjoy your morning coffee on your private patio with serene views of the nearby creek and mountains in the distance - offering a peaceful setting for daily walks, relaxation, and seasonal outdoor activities. This tranquil setting is perfect for singles and couples seeking a quiet, comfortable stay in the heart of Palm Desert.

• Resort-Style Amenities: Enjoy access to 3 guest pools and 4 hot tubs (one of which is steps from your front door), perfect for both starting your day and unwinding after a day of exploring, playing or working. Take a tennis or pickleball lesson. Enjoy watching lessons and tennis matches on Centre Court, all within the secure, gated community.

• Outdoor Activities: The condo’s location makes it easy to maintain an active lifestyle. Golf enthusiasts will love being steps away from the Shadow Mountain Golf Course (not affiliated with resort - open to public) as well as having easy access to numerous nearby world-class golf courses and driving ranges. The Resort offers tennis and pickleball lessons, plus a large greenbelt for soccer, volleyball and ping pong. Go for an early morning or evening swim. Relieve any stresses of your day in the hot tub. Walking the resort and neighborhood is always a treat.

• Proximity to Essential Amenities: Conveniently located near all that Palm Desert has to offer, including top-rated restaurants, concerts, museums, art galleries, casinos, and the famous El Paseo shopping district, known as the "Rodeo Drive of the Coachella Valley." Work out at one of the local fitness clubs in town, have a massage at a local spa. Check out what the Palm Desert community center has to offer. Whether you're staying for work or leisure, everything you need, and more, is within easy (and often walkable) reach.

• Comfortable & Modern Living: The condo features stylish, comfortable furniture and furnishings. The living room's couch and swivel chair are perfect for relaxing while reading a book, visiting with someone, or watching your favorite shows on the large smart TV. Stream your music through the iHome Bluetooth speaker for added enjoyment. The new AC system makes any day, hot or cold, your perfect temp. The new mattress, whose headboard is from Restoration Hardware and whose linens are inviting, will indeed provide a wonderful night’s sleep. The kitchen, with its granite countertops and well-appointed features, is a delight in which to cook or bake. We've just added new Nonstick Ceramic Cookware and even have muffin and baking sheets - cookies anyone?! Dine inside at your kitchen table with placemats and beautiful dishes; or dine al fresco with fun outdoor dishes on the patio, or steps from your door at the round table next to the hot tub. Enjoy the large, inviting shower and its very high shower head, which any tall person will especially love! Weekly or semi-monthly housekeeping services can be arranged for extended stays. Our condo’s tasteful decor and peaceful ambiance make it an inviting retreat for those looking to escape to the desert for any reason, whether for that getaway weekend or an extended stay. We promise - no snow to shovel here!

Need additional condos for family or friends? We also have a 2 BR condo on the greenbelt at Shadow Mountain. Check it out on VRBO - #4157047.
