Cute lil house, nicely set up for all a vacationer's needs; a well stocked kitchen, comfy and sturdy furniture, a few games and books, good wifi, a small, but cozy bed, lovely outdoor spaces front and back too, and the neighborhood is quiet and walkable! House is clean and tidy which is so appreciated, nice job housekeeping! I think "Steps to Sand" is a bit misleading, a short walk or a quick bike ride to sand is more accurate. Downsides: they provide first roll of toilet paper and then bring your own? I managed 2 dozen vacation homes in Tahoe for 17 years and NO ONE brought their own TP, it was provided. Plus, the one roll is a terrible one-ply! If you have the possibility of ants (no big deal as some climates are prone to them), please provide ant spray. We were surprised at the 10:00AM check out, it's way too early. This is not the norm for the vacation homes I managed in Tahoe or that I have previously rented. Lastly, the front gate is a bit narrow and challenging to get even a smaller car into the driveway, would be nice if it was made bigger as there is room.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
The toilet overflowed within 2 hours of the 1st evening of my stay. The property management was very responsive upon notification and a plumber was onsite within 30 minutes. However, the property manager did not follow up after the service and did not send anyone to clean the bathroom of the toilet wastewater. This made me very uncomfortable. The old wood entry gate did not allow easy access to the driveway in front of the home. I needed to use a bungy cord to keep the gate open so my car would not get damaged during entry. No one advised me of this. I had a bungy cord in my car trunk to keep the gate open. The interior bedroom and bathroom is very small and does not allow any room for much storage. The 'rules' i was given about laundry and linens, upon arrival and regarding departure, made me uncomfortable. I couldn't fully relax and felt like my stay was overly monitored. The back patio is very nice. The front area gravel rock was difficult to walk on. One of the plastic chairs in the front yard was broken at the arm rest. Overall, I felt like I was in a 'dump' and was disappointed with the home. It was close to the beach and the time to walk there was accurate per the posting. It is best to accommodate only 1 or 2 persons. 4 Persons would be extremely cramped. I would not recommend this home to any vacationers, unless you are looking for cheap accommodations with very little amenities.
