About this property

Tahoe Gem Private Beach Access and Heavenly Ski Resort Nearby- KAYAK & SUPS

NEWLY REMODELED! Welcome to Lake Tahoe, the most beautiful place in the world! We would love to host you in our family getaway located in the Pinewild waterfront community in Zephyr Cove. Unwind on our private beach or on one of the condo's decks taking in the tranquility of your surroundings. Our home is located in the center of Tahoe's year round activities! Although restaurants, shops, ski resorts, premier golf, and nightlife are just a 5 minute drive away, our home is peaceful and secluded.
The master bedroom boasts a king size Sleep Number bed, and the guest bedroom has a comfy king size bed also. All high thread count linens, blankets, and duvet covers are washed between guests. There are wall mounted flat screen TVs with Netflix and other free streaming channels in both bedrooms.
Both bathrooms are stocked with towels, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, and a lovely body wash. A hair dryer is provided for your use while staying as our guest.
We have a full size clothes washer and dryer, as well as laundry soap for our guests. We provide an ironing board and iron too. There are even cleaning supplies for our guests, to include antibacterial cleaning wipes.
Upstairs, you will find the main living space; the great room, kitchen, dining area, and the upstairs deck. We have a Traeger smoker/grill on the deck and an outside dining table for four..
There is plenty of seating in the great room to watch TV and just hang out. There is a gas only fireplace which is very welcoming on those cold nights and snowy days.
The recently remodeled kitchen is fully stocked with Italian pots and pans, dishes, glassware, utensils, and a variety of spices and oils. We provide a Keurig coffee maker, that uses ground coffee beans or coffee pods. We also provide coffee and snacks for our guests.
In the warm weather months, we provide our guests with a two person kayak, two paddle boards, oars, life vests, beach chairs, beach towels, a sand umbrella, a small ice chest, and a wagon to haul everything down to the beach each day. We are only about a 3-5 minute walk down to the private beach, and beautiful Lake Tahoe. The public beaches are very crowded and often fill up during the summer months. Not having to worry about parking and fighting for a place on the beach are what makes our place a true gem.
We have tennis rackets, pickle ball rackets, and balls for our guests to use at the two tennis/pickle ball courts located behind our condo. The courts are available during the warmer months.
In the colder months, we have sleds for our guests to use. There is a small hill in front of our condo that our grand children just love. I can give suggestions to other places to go sledding too.
I am available before and during my guests’ stays if they have any questions, or need restaurant or activity suggestions. I want every one of my guests to love Lake Tahoe as much as our family does, and to have the best stay possible.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Everything about our stay at Tahoe Gem was wonderful!!! The hosts were the absolute best and very generous with many extra amenities; like a stocked kitchen for a full breakfast, delicious snacks & even a bottle of wine with a personal welcome note & sign! We didn’t have a view of the lake but we were out most of the time and looked forward to coming back from the lake and our outings, to this beautiful gem of a home on vacation! Zephyr Cove is a clean and well manicured beach community and the condo is only a short walk to the beach! It’s the BEST view in Lake Tahoe, especially, for the amazing sunsets! We loved every minute and would definitely want to stay here again!!! The hosts answered questions we had and gave recommendations of activities, which were spot on! The boat tour to Emerald Bay was our very favorite! What a dream of a stay for us!!!

We were blessed with hosting Ashlyn and her sweet family for a second time at our place. They were perfect guests again, and took excellent care of our home. Guests like Ashlyn, her husband, and darling kids make hosting such a fun and rewarding experience. The best part for us was the beautiful pictures the children had drawn as a thank you for us. ❤️ We highly recommend them to other hosts, and hope to get the opportunity to host them again in the future.

The condo was very nicely updated and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. Diane left fresh muffins and a few essentials in the fridge which was very nice. The beds were amazingly comfortable. Having all the beach chairs, beach towels, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, etc. to use on the beach along with a wagon made all the difference. I loved having access to the washer and dryer to keep the towels clean and fresh. We will absolutely be coming again next summer.

From the moment you walk through the door, you feel welcomed. In all the vacation retails we have done, none can match the little extras that were everywhere throughout the emaculate, well-appointed condo. If we had any questions, Diane emailed us right back. We highly recommend this lovely condo near serene Lake Tahoe.

Wonderful Home!! Amazing Owners!

We had a wonderful time! The owners were incredibly considerate. Everywhere we looked there was something we may need, just in case of an emergency. They left lovely notes to make us feel welcome right from the start. It is a short walk to the pier which was lovely to see at night! The neighborhood is very quiet and a great place for some rest and relaxation. The home was impeccably clean, all instructions were clearly described, the owner was responsive to questions and we had an amazing time. It was one of my best VRBO experiences. You can tell that the home has been loved : )

We enjoyed our stay here so much! The house was very clean. The beds were super comfortable, including a Sleep Number bed in the master! The bathrooms have been recently updated/remodeled. Everything was perfect. Dianne, the hostess, was wonderful! She included anything and everything you could possibly think of or need. There is no need to run to the grocery store to buy anything before arriving , she will have it covered! The beach is so nice, the walk is short. There’s a beautiful pier and all the equipment to enjoy your days on the water. I highly recommend this property!
