Star Harbor #10
Upstairs – Master rm (King bed/mattress very lived in), 1 full bath rm, kitchen, living rm.
Downstairs – 2 small bd rms, 1 bath rm (shower no tub). Washer/Dryer (did not use). Only 2 of us, did not use the downstairs at all.
Décor – decent but dated
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pros –
View of Lake Tahoe from the kitchen/living/dining areas is panoramic & amazing! Quiet and near stores & restaurants. Appreciated they honored our request, holding off on “winterizing”, leaving the BBQ & outdoor furniture, so we could use during our stay.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Could be a Con –
Like on many other Star Habor condo balcony’s/decks, there is a divider between you and the neighbors. This one (#10) is not private, no divider between this balcony/deck and the neighbors. That may be important to some.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Cons –
This is a condo, NOT a rustic cabin, so we were looking forward to a very clean space. And at first glance everything looked decent, but the more we settled in, the more we noticed just how dirty the entire place was. We only glanced at the downstairs, didn’t use that area. The VRBO stated no pets allowed, but clearly pets have stayed here, hair everywhere. We understand management can’t “police” no pet policy, but if this place was cleaned properly, pet hairs would not be an issue.
Dried up sauce all over outdoor glass table.
Spider webs in windows out main view.
Carpets had stains everywhere.
The sofa’s and dining bench all had crumbs and human & pet hair on them.
The upstairs wood floor and rug had crumbs, pet and human hair, and sticky substance on it. Didn’t look as if the floors had been mopped in who knows how long. The upstairs bathroom floor had hairballs in the corners of the floor. The entire place is clearly only surfaced cleaned (at best!) The entire place needs a deep/detailed cleaning! We left it better than we found it, that is for sure! But who wants to clean while on vacation!
If we owned or managed this condo, we would definitely want to know how we are doing, how we could improve, and would want honest reviews like this one. Management needs to thoroughly inspect after each housekeeping/cleaning is conducted. Overall, we were a bit disappointed, and this review is in hopes improvements will be made, because we would love to come back,... but to a clean space.
