Lakeside Studio Steps from the Beach

Summary:
You will adore this cozy studio in an amazing location right next to Lake Tahoe. Step outside your front door & be greeted by the beautiful Lake Tahoe and its pristine white sandy beach just a few steps away. Guests of this home can enjoy access to a private pier and in the summer months a pool. The charming studio makes efficient use of its space with a queen bed & two twin pull-out beds, & a fully-equipped kitchen providing all you need for a memorable Lake Tahoe vacation.

The Space:
Step inside the studio home where you will be greeted by the cozy living room/bedroom area. The living room space of the studio features a comfortable chair and three-person sofa which can be pulled out into a twin bed. A coffee table and a side table with a lamp warm up the space and give it a homey feel. A 28” TV sits atop a small dresser, so you can enjoy a movie night from the comfort of the couch or bed. To the side of the living room, you will find the queen-size bed with sconce lighting, so you can comfortably enjoy reading before bed. Next to the bed, you will find the studio’s full bathroom, which features a single-sink vanity with storage space and a walk-in shower. To the left of the front door, you will find the fully-equipped kitchen and dining space. Whip up a quick meal in the kitchen, where you will find everything you need for cooking from a full range of appliances, including a drip-coffee maker and a blender. The four-person dining table is comfortably situated to the side of the kitchen, providing enough space to cook or dine in this room. A large window above the table provides great views to enjoy while having your morning cup of coffee or dinner. Guests in this home are also welcome to take advantage of the shared amenities which include year-round access to a private pier, and summer access to an outdoor pool and volleyball court.

The Neighborhood:
Situated just steps away from the sandy shores of Lake Tahoe, you can’t beat the location of this home for summer fun. Walk down to the private pier or the beach with just a quick walk from your front door. Or make the quick 5-minute drive to Waterman’s Landing, which is a pet-friendly beach great for swimming and where you can rent every type of watercraft imaginable. Nearby Patton Beach you will find more entertainment and dining options such as the famous Garwoods Bar and Grill, a wonderful lakefront dining experience, CB’s Bistro and Pizza for family dinners, Magic Carpet Mini Golf and Arcade for the little ones, and a 7-11 for all of your late-night needs. The beautiful Carnelian West Beach provides another excellent swimming spot just a five-minute drive from the home.
In the winter months, you are only 12 minutes from Northstar, less than 30 minutes from Palisades Tahoe, and 10 minutes from the Tahoe City Nordic Center where you will find a huge network of trails for XC Skiing or snowshoeing. If a little less physical activity is what you are looking for, you are just a 13-minute drive west to Tahoe City and 3 minutes east from Kings Beach. In both places, you will find sandy beaches, farmers markets and major grocery stores, golf courses, small boutique shopping, waterfront parks, golf courses, weekly concerts in the summer, and a wide variety of bars and restaurants. You are also 10 minutes from the Nevada state line, where you will find casinos and concert venues. This home is the perfect launching pad for any Lake Tahoe experience!

Getting Around:
Centrally located off HWY 28 the studio is steps away from a public transportation stop, so you can comfortably get by without having a vehicle if needed. A quick two-minute walk will take you to the public transportation TART stop at Hwy 28 at National Ave (Shelter). From here you are just a 20-minute bus ride to Tahoe City where you can easily connect to other locations at the Tahoe City Transit Center to locations such as Northstar California Resort.
Those with a vehicle enjoy being close to HWY 28 and the quick access it provides to the beautiful surrounding areas, with less than a 15-minute drive to Tahoe City and a 10-minute drive to the Nevada state line. Just a five-minute drive will take you to Patton Beach, and in the opposite direction, the popular Kings Beach is only a 3-minute drive away. In the wintertime, you are centrally located for skiing all of the best resorts with a 25-minute drive or less from three of the area's best ski resorts, Northstar, Squaw Valley ski resort, and Tahoe Nordic Cross Country Center.
Tahoe has UBER, Lyft, and many taxi companies.

Terribly disappointed
I went up with my adult son for a ski weekend. When we got to the place, I realized I did not know how to get in because the host hadn't contacted me, so we waited outside until they got back to us with instructions. Once in, I realized there was only one blanket. This was a ski weekend. It was freezing cold outside. I immediately contacted the management company. They were unable to procure another blanket for us, so I let my son have the blanket while I slept in my ski clothes. I didn't sleep that night. Texting back and forth, the manager gave me a lot of lame excuses. I asked for a partial refund and now he's ghosted me. I've been using VRBO for 20 years all over the world and this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. To boot, the unit was a bit run down and not 100% clean. I found a used acne dot from a previous tenant stuck to my foot. If you choose to use this unit despite my negative review make sure to bring your own coffee, coffee filters, dishwashing soap, toilet paper and blankets. This is a no-frills unit. Great location, but I won't be returning.
