Azure Retreat by Tahoe Getaways - West Shore w Private Beach
Located on the idyllic west shores of Lake Tahoe in the neighborhood of Homewood, California, this gorgeous vacation home has been featured in both California Home+Design and the SF Chronicle and truly represents mountain luxury. This completely renovated, four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath, west shore getaway is just steps away from spectacular hiking trails, sandy beaches, biking trails, and one of the most beautiful state parks in Lake Tahoe: Sugar Pine State Park. Not only is the rental home within walking distance of Homewood Mountain Resort, a family-friendly ski resort with one of the best peak-to-shore experiences in Lake Tahoe, the house has an unbeatable view of the mountain. Imagine watching skiers and snowboarders zip down the mountain right from your living room window!
With a reverse floor plan, the upstairs main floor features stunning wood-beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe. The sprawling main deck (with dining furniture, lounge chairs, and a BBQ) looks out to sweeping views of the slopes and is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The open-concept living room and kitchen are spacious and inviting and designed with entertainment in mind. Enjoy the cozy ambiance of the wood fireplace and the comfort of a plush wrap-around couch as you unwind after a day of activities. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a large island with a country sink, and a beautiful wooden dining table that is perfect for gatherings. Those who work remotely will appreciate the office nook just off the kitchen. Travelers will also appreciate all the modern comforts including a smart thermostat, super-fast Wi-Fi, and a smart TV. There's even a telescope that stargazers will surely enjoy.
All four bedrooms are located on the ground floor, each with its own designated bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for everyone. Two of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, adding a luxurious touch. The ample driveway can accommodate up to four cars, making it convenient for large families and groups of friends.
What truly makes Azure Retreat a home run is that it's only a block away from the lake! After soaking up the sun and enjoying a little outdoor recreation on the lake, you can grab a bite at a number of nearby restaurants including Chambers Landing Bar and Grill.

Amazing Cabin Getaway
The place is so cute and has lots of windows and mood lighting. The place has a fully equipped kitchen and enough room for everyone. We fit 10 people comfortably for the weekend. The location is perfect for evening walks and close to activities.

Lovely Home
Multi-generational Retreat: Grandparents, Parents, and Four Small Children
The photos provided are an accurate reflection of the property, and we truly enjoyed our stay. The inclusion of the Chambers Landing Member pass is a significant advantage, as Chambers Landing Beach is exceptionally well-suited for families.
Please note that the house does not provide beach towels or chairs for use during the stay, nor are these items available for use or rent at Chambers Landing; guests are advised to bring their own or be prepared to purchase them locally, potentially at premium prices (which we did).

Azure Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay at Azure Retreat. We had our three adult children with us and their partners, and the kitchen was well equipped for big breakfasts and dinners! Close to hiking and biking and the beach, we loved accessing a new part of Tahoe. And the internet was strong enough for four people to work from home. There is an office nook, and two balconies, so plenty of room to read and make phone calls. A great vacation/WFH home.
We were extremely disappointed with our stay at this property. The listing claimed certain HOA amenities (specifically use of pool at Chambers) which was not the case. The listing description was changed after we arrived. We reached out to the property management company during our stay to clarify these issues and received no resolution. We were simply told that per the contract, HOA amenities can change at any time. Typically, people book properties based on a description and expect those amenities to still be offered on arrival. Otherwise, how can you trust any listing?The property itself was in average condition, but when you book something expecting certain features and they’re not there, it really impacts the overall experience. We would not stay here again and cannot recommend it to others.

Grania, we're sorry your experience did not meet expectations, especially regarding the HOA amenities. The HOA does have policies that can change access to shared facilities, and we try to communicate any updates promptly. We understand how important accurate listing information is and appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve clarity for future guests. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
