900 Island Dr

Desert Island is a mid-rise condominium complex in Rancho Mirage built in 1975 and organized into seven-story residential buildings. The project sits on a landscaped 25-acre island surrounded by a man-made lake and an 18-hole private championship golf course, creating park-like grounds with walking paths, fruit trees and multiple water edges. Units range from one- to three-bedroom floorplans, many laid out with open living/dining areas, nine-foot ceilings and expansive walls of glass that capture panoramic mountain, lake and fairway vistas. Balconies and large private terraces are common, with some upper-floor residences offering substantial multi-hundred–square-foot outdoor entertaining space. Interiors show a mix of original and renovated elements: finished features reported include granite and quartzite counters, floating and built-in cabinetry, marble and upgraded stone floors, recessed and custom lighting, cathedral and beamed ceilings, fireplaces and multiple primary-suite configurations. Buildings provide elevators, assigned underground parking with storage lockers, on-site management and maintenance staff. Community amenities emphasize recreation and resort-style living: gated 24-hour security, building pools and spas, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness facilities, pedal boats, fishing, and garage access. HOA services commonly cover air conditioning systems, water, gas, trash, cable TV and internet. The setting is centrally located for dining, shopping, entertainment, medical centers and Palm Springs Airport, supporting both full-time and seasonal desert lifestyles.
