I'm beginning my third winter at Desert Sands, and I'm more convinced than ever that I chose wisely. The park came under new management several years ago, and the improvements have been steady. The laundry facility is clean, the machines reliable, and the front office always has quarters, which saves me a trip to the bank. The clubhouse is comfortable, kinda cozy, and it opens onto the pool and hot tub. The dog walks are kinda small, but there are two of them, and they're well appointed. There are get-togethers monthly, often with food, and they're always fun. And there's always a night-watch at the front gate who also cruises the park on a golf cart, keeping an eye. It may not be necessary, but I appreciate that management considers my safety and well-being. But the best part of DSRVP is the people, particularly the staff. Friendly, considerate, and helpful, they make this place home. They've all lived in the area for years, so they can usually answer whatever question comes up. Don't hesitate to make a reservation -- and I'd advise that you do. We're kinda popular.
