NORTH LAKE TAHOE VACATION SPECIAL

Would have enjoyed sitting outside a bit, but no place other than the common area. Some work needs to be done on window & door screens, lower bathtub leaks, rug could use a cleaning. Pretty dark throughout, better lighting would perk it up. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked with utensils and appliances. Nice big dining table, with plenty of seating.

We would expect a complete refund for the security deposit, as we left no trace of having been there except dirty sheets, & towels :) Thanks for sharing your vacation rental!

Nice location and town house but ac not working

This location (for the price) can not be beat! Situated among towering pines in the Forrest Pines condo complex, it is a short walk to Incline beach, the beautiful Incline Fitness trail, rec center, etc. It's also just a quick drive to Burnt Cedar Beach, the grocery store, and other area trails and attractions. Although a condo with some shared walls, we never once heard our neighbors during our two week stay. The grounds are clean and well maintained. The pool (chilly through the first half of our stay then it was around 80 degrees July 10th and beyond) and hot tub was an added bonus.

The unit itself, although dated (but the price reflects the value), was adequately furnished with comfortable beds and kitchen basics. The one big item lacking was a grill. The other item that was lacking was a broom and dustpan (we really could have used one being there for two weeks).

Based on previous reviews we brought 3 box fans with us since the unit only has small oscillating fans. I am glad we did because daytime temperatures between July 6 and 20 were in the 80s to mid 80s.

In terms of extras, I didn't expect them given the low nightly fee. However, there were 4 beach chairs and a couple rafts (no pump). We tried the big raft but there was a big hole in it and I didn't bring a repair kit with me. The baby raft was usable but seemed to have a small leak somewhere. But, these may have been items left from previous renters, so no disappointment. Just FYI.

Tips: bring box fans if staying during the summer. Bring your own condiments and a bag of ice (no ice maker). Bring your own blender for smoothies, protein drinks, blended drinks (the one provided is an inexpensive/low power type). If you cook a lot and use a mix of several seasonings, bring them (only the basics like salt and pepper and one or two others were provided). Also, bring food storage containers/baggies and foil/plastic wrap for your leftovers since they're not provided). Bring your own beach towels (only bath towels provided). Bring your own puzzles, games, cards (no puzzles were provided and there's only yahtzee and a deck of cards).

All in all my family and I enjoyed our stay. We felt we got an exceptional value for what we paid in terms of location, condo complex amenities, access to Incline's beautiful private beaches, and comfortable and adequate accommodations. I'd go 5 stars if there was a grill (I missed it that much).

My family stayed here for a long weekend and really enjoyed our stay. The condo was comfortable, with a great location. Walking distance to beach and Starbucks, and the owner left us passes to a few private/ local beaches (you still have to pay, but they are worth it- one has a kiddie pools/ bars/ restaurants on site). The condo also has a nice pool/ club house with ping pong. The master bedroom was a bit dim and hard to see (even during the day), but it was not a big deal. We would return to this condo again for another trip!

The property was just as advertised & owner was great to work with. Location was perfect. Beds were super comfy.
