Reviewer Comments:
My partner and I stayed here for a long weekend while vacationing in Tahoe. We were very happy with the cleanliness of the property along with the distance to the beach and a few restaurants. The instructions for check in and check out were clear and not overbearing. Often times rentals make you strip the bed, wash the sheets, and go through a whole checklist of chores. We felt the checkout instructions were fair and make checkout very easy. We had access to many of the onsite ammentities such as the pool, hot tub, sauna, parcourse, and games in the lobby. We used the sauna and hot tub the most and it made for a relaxing evening. The only complaint my partner and I had was we wished the outdoor balcony had better seating and dining arrangements as we spent morning coffees and lunchtime admiring the peaceful view. We noticed the unit was a bit beat up in some areas such as the coffee tables,many of which were very wobbly. Some walls were pretty beat up and had paint chips taken out from the corners. We wish the laundry machine was a bit more updated as it would have been nice to wash our clothes and the towels during our stay. Overall we had a great time and the property helped make us feel at home during our stay.

Overall it was a great place.
A minor issue was that some of the lights were burnt out. We may have overlooked this in the paperwork but we were very disappointed to find that the hot tub was closed Monday - Thursday. Never heard of that before.
5.0 / 5.0
It was a nice place, worked fine for 3 friends. The second loft area with twin beds is completely open so there’s really only one enclosed bedroom. Some lights weren’t working but otherwise the townhouse had everything we needed for a two-night stay (kitchen equipment, etc…) nice to use the hot tubs in the community as well- thanks!

Enjoyed the peaceful setting. Walking down to breakfast at the local restaurant.
5.0 / 5.0
The pluses: The condo was as described. The place was clean and check in was easy. It had everything we needed, including some sleds we borrowed. The property management company was easy to communicate with and responsive.
The minuses: The primary bedroom bed was very uncomfortable and desperately needs to be replaced or flipped. The decor is dated and could use a refresh. The interior needs a need coat of paint.
Overall, good stay and the condo did the job for us.
4.0 / 5.0
Very convenient and prop management is very responsive which is great. But, we found the listing initially as a cabin which this site is not. Didnt find out until after booked. We would have likely gone with hotel had we known the arrangement up front. The amenity hours leave a lot to be desired.
That said very comfortable, convenient and a nice visitor community in one of the (my opinion) best Tahoe neighborhoods.
3.0 / 5.0
Clean but slightly worn and shabby. Carpet needs to be replaced, blankets and sheets and comforter needs to be replaced. Kitchen towel were clean but stained.

Great location, everything we needed was in the home or close by. We got bears at our front door! I would've loved to experience the clubhouse but they were not open Sunday fyi, and we are early risers and the pool is also not open until 10am just keep in mind.

We loved the location of this townhome. We walked to the beach every afternoon carrying our stand up paddle board and chairs. The location was so close to everything and for this reason we would stay here again in the summer. The kitchen was updated and pretty big for the overall size of the townhome. Like other reviewers have said the bed was just okay and the sheets were old and need replaced. The towels were also pretty small. Management company was easy to deal with and responsive. We enjoyed the back deck and lack of neighbors and sitting out there to enjoy our morning coffee.

Perfect temporary home for our family vacation
4.0 / 5.0
Location of condo is amazing. 1/4 mile from the public beach at Carnelian Bay. 7-11 and miniature golf were very close, too. Neighborhood perfect for walks, and there are some decent hiking trails. Short drives to Tahoe City and King's Beach. First time staying on the north end, and we loved it.
Amenities were pretty nice. Beds were comfortable and there was enough seating for the 5 of us. Kitchen was stocked with cooking supplies, although there was a shortage of paper towels and trash bags.
Having a washer and dryer in the unit was great...especially considering that my son and I had to head to a week-long camp trip the day after we checked out of this unit. Having clean laundry really helped with the transition. Parking was great...plenty of room. Support from property manager was good with the couple questions we had.
Carpet needs another round of cleaning or possibly replacing. I would suggest investing in luxury vinyl tile. Also, pain/clean/replace trim in the house and clean up the walls. Lots of scrapes and scuffs. New trim with fresh paint would go a really long way.
For the price we paid, this was a great spot. Close to the water, which is all that really matters. Beds were comfy, and we were really happy with our stay. Would recommend to anyone who is budget minded and not expecting a luxury/high-end condo.

Great location (walking distance to public beach at Waterman's Landing), clear instructions for finding condo and entry into accommodation. Property was clean and appeared as pictured. We were a little bothered by how often First Accommodation reached out to us about our stay and asked for a reply. For example, they sent us an email asking to know when we would be checking in and out of the apartment, as though we had already overstayed our welcome. For the price of the accommodation, it would have been nice to have a bit of trust that we would follow the rules and expectations.

The rental had everything we needed for our stay, and it was very comfortable. Close access to the main road, safe parking, and the kids loved the pool. My phone didn't work, so I was grateful for the landline. The whole place could use updating, but that did not take away from our positive experience.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed the cozy location. The tv had captions turned on and wouldn't turn off half the screen of lot. We were unable to fix it. The Tv definitely could use some updating. Our humble opinion for the $400 a night the place could use a new mattress, with updated sheets and pillows. There was a blood stain on the sheets. The bowls need some more that match and don't feel like dog bowls. The Hoa didn't clear the parking lot for 2 days. Couple of feet of snow was fun to move around in. The place could use a snow shovel to clear the walkways and car in the parking lot.
3.0 / 5.0
So to start with the good—it was fine and easy to get in. Parking was easy too since we had no snow. The many updates from first accommodations were helpful.
It was smaller than it looked like but the loft was great. If we would have taken a fifth person as originally planned where would this person sleep? If it is on the bench in the master bedroom it has to be a child, so good to put that in the description.
The bed in the master bedroom needs replaced. We had to prop up the headboard with the pillows so it would not bang to the wall. The sleeping pillows were old and stale. The electric blanket is unnecessary and uncomfortable and the mattress is saggy.
The furnace needs to be surfaced— it makes an awful lot of noise when it comes on.
I called for the fireplace if we could use it. The answer was yes but beware for smoke coming in. We bought-quite expensive- wood only to figure out that there is no upward draft. This was a main attraction from the advertisement so a big disappointment and should also be noted. It may need to be checked because it really should not be used until it can pull the smoke out.
Two small towels for kitchen use is not enough. We ended up washing them 3 times. At the very least some dishcloth would.
There is no recycling on site. With the ski resorts going zero we ended up dragging recycling with us. This may be a housing complex issue.
Several lamps are not functioning. The worse is the one above the washer— I needed to use my phone light to read the instructions.
The remote of the tv is a bear. Check.
In all for the price we paid we would have expected more. It turns out we could have been more comfortable at other places closer to resorts, and cheaper. Sorry but this was not a good experience, and it feels like the owners just cut corners.

This was a perfect place for our family of 4. We loved the loft with twin beds. We walked to the lake (it’s very close). The condo came with lawn chairs for us to use. It was perfect for what we wanted. Would definitely rent again.

Great property for the price. Close to restaurants and short drive distance to local attractions. Property has a full size kitchen with all needed to cook and serve meals. Property has one TV with minimal channels, no air conditioning and master bedroom could use a new mattress. Overall, we would rent the property again and the three of us were comfortable and satisfied during our stay.
