It would be nice to have coffee/ cream provided at check in. Also more outside seating on the deck. The removal of the extra table on the deck would allow space for this.
This was our family's 1st time in Tahoe. There were a lot of rentals to choose from, but we chose this house for several reasons: Private beach access in close walking distance, 3 bed/3 bath, so our two boys could have their own space, and the free use of kayaks and paddle boards. We did not regret our choice.The house is part of a gated/condo HOA. The grounds are clean and beautiful, providing shade, grass, and full of small wildlife: bunnies, jays, geese, & squirrels. The house was 5 min walk to the dock/beach. The beach is perfect for sitting outside to read or to watch the sunset! The beach is small and it's not a great place to layout, however, you can paddle board or kayak about 15-20 minutes to the south to the Round Hill public beach (with Beach Bums restaurant and bar), where they have plenty of sand for laying out, playing volleyball, etc. The house was comfortable and had lots of natural light. The kitchen is modern, with nice appliances. I loved the Keurig/Espresso machine and the Toaster Oven/Air Fryer. The beds and pillows were fine. The master bath is small, to make room for the sauna. If we stay here again, we'd probably take the upstairs room and bath--that's the nicest bathroom in the house. We used the sauna once, but found it didn't get very hot. I imagine this comes more in handy for winter visitors who've spent the day in the snow. The best things about this house are the lake and the unlimited use of kayaks and paddle boards. We used them daily!
Location is great. 5 minute walk to lake, near Heavenly lifts, downtown Kitchen stocked w/ gadgets minus a small cooking pot. Gated community. Only marring events were when power circuit blew in kitchen, had to prove to property manager about devices by sending a pic of air fryer which they apparently didn't know they have on site. When sauna didn't heat up past 70, mgmt wanted picture when i notified prop mgr. Esch time i hsd to justify the problem w/ a picture. Repair person fixed sauna ptomptly but was given incorrect description by property mgr. Pet hairs found in closet blankets when we needed extrs layering-downstairs bedrooms chilly at night.
Some pros: quiet and the private beach is just a short walk away. Kitchen was fully equipped. Sauna was a nice touch. The amount of beach items this place came with was nice. Plenty of chairs and water toys like paddle boards and kayaks. Short distance to grocery store and had plenty of shops and restaurants close proximity to property.
Cons: because there is no a/c, a screen door for the upstairs sliding door wouldâve been nice. Otherwise it gets so hot upstairs and if you leave the door open, you invite some insects inside. The tubes that were provided deflated within minutes of blowing up. One was ripped so we didnât use it. Checking in, we didnât have access till about 15-20 minutes after 4pm because the cleaning company was still cleaning. After we got in, the cleaning was very lacking. We cleaned up and threw out the 2 bags of trash from previous people who stayed. Lastly the amount of pollen the was on both decks had accumulated so much you could put a handprint in it. Instead we swept upstairs and downstairs decks so we could use them.
Overall loved the area. Was a very nice place.
Lovely unit in great location with great amenities. However, upon our late arrival, my daughter found her bedsheets covered in dog hair. She ended up sleeping on top of the bedspread and we spent our first day washing and changing sheets. Finding a dried up contact lens on the nightstand and dirty coffee mugs in the cabinet established the âickâ factor that prevented us from feeling comfortable at this otherwise ideal vacation home. We ended up leaving a day early and couldnât find any check-out instructions; I called the three vacasa contacts on the binder (two numbers were inactive or changed, I left a vm on the third), and called the 1-800 vacasa number and was left on hold for so long I finally hung up. Which is a shame, I would otherwise rate the property very highly but the customer service side of things are what ruined the experience for us.
We enjoyed access to the beach, and when we had questions we got answers almost immediately. The kitchen is upstairs which you canât tell from the photos, and the bed in the upstairs bedroom (off the kitchen) was so hard & uncomfortable we ended up moving downstairs. The other 2 bedrooms are downstairs. We stocked k cups for the next guests but Iâm thinking it was closed for the winter- there is a keurig and a coffee pot but also a nice Safeway less than a mile away for whatever you might want.
Townhouse is close to Safeway and many good restaurants. Beach access is steps away. Beds are good.
Kitchen better stocked than most vacation rentals which makes cooking and dining enjoyable. Would rent this unit again.
The location is great, very short drive to the casinos and Heavenly. The craps coffee table is unique and fun. The property could use a little updating. I took off one star because the quality of the toilet paper and paper towels was very poor and actually notable. Would stay again.
The house was well stoked with all the amenities you need. Location was convenient and close to Heavenly village. The hosts were available when you had questions. House was also well heated and beds were comfortable.
The property was very nice, well kept. The kitchen was fully stocked and the bedrooms were very comfortable. It was nice to have 3 bedrooms and three baths. It is a short walk to the beach which we enjoyed. A very relaxing place to stay at Lake Tahoe.
House was great, smelled good when we arrived! Kitchen stocked very well, bathrooms had amenities like a hotel! Master shower was small. Great location and we loved it !
We loved our stay! Our party was my husband and I, two teenagers, and an infant. The rooms, beds and bathrooms were very comfortable and well appointed. The communal spaces were welcoming and cozy, and the kitchen had everything you could want/need to cook at the house. The location was awesome! Close to Heavenly, the casinos, and a lot of shopping and restaurants, but far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful at night.
Overall, and excellent spot to vacation!
Great location. The home is stocked with everything you could need. Plenty of pillows, blankets, baby gate, dog bowls, spices to cook with, and even sleds to use. The host gave great instructions on how to use everything. We would love to stay again!
Pros: Location! We loved being so close to the private beach (4 min walk), condo was spacious, great kitchen set up, comfortable beds.
Cons: The check-in process was absolutely the worst I've ever come across. When booking the reservation, we had no idea the check-in location would be 25 minutes south of the property. This meant we drove past the condo, 25 minutes south to the management company, and then 25 minutes back north to the condo. Absolutely horrible - especially when traveling with kids! The check-in paperwork could have been handled over email and we were given an access code, which also could have been emailed. After a day of travel, driving an additional hour is unacceptable in my book. Also, the shower in the downstairs bathroom was gross. We all showered upstairs.
