On the Sparks Marina canal! Walk to the lake, dining, casino, movie theater, shopping & close to waterpark. Tesla Gigafactory 20 minutes.
This 5 bd/2.5 bth home offers relaxation and feeding ducks off the back boat dock. The Lake/Marina has water fun, fishing and a kids play park. The home is just minutes from downtown Reno and Lake Tahoe is within an hour. Sleeping up to 16 guests, this 2-story home will not disappoint!

It will be a delight staying in this spacious lake house updated with all the comforts of home. Spend your days exploring downtown Sparks, Reno or Lake Tahoe and your evenings with the beautiful sunsets at the Marina. Enjoy the local events or bring whatever floats your boat (paddle boards, kayaks, rafts, canoes, paddle boats, etc.~ some rentals are available at the marina).

This large 2500 sq ft home with the private dock and water access is not only in the perfect location, but inside you'll find a mixture of tile, hardwood flooring, and plenty of windows bringing in wonderful sunshine. The living room is the perfect place to relax on the comfy couches, enjoy the fireplace and stream movies or binge watch your favorite shows. For the chef in the house, the kitchen is a dream with stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, and double ovens. You'll love all the amenities that make cooking for friends and family a pleasure. Each bedroom has its own wow factor to ensure a great stay and plenty of rest after your many adventures.

Whatever brings you to Nevada, Marina Escape is the perfect place to call your home away from home!

House was beautiful! Lots of room for a big family. But the internet was awful. The connection was very weak. You could not connect to your phone. I reached out to the host and was told that she did not know the internet was not working well. The TV'S in the house were not even connected to the wifi or plugged in. They must be for "show".We enjoyed our stay. Host responded in a timely manner for all issues.

The host was very welcoming. Amenities were ok. Yard was not clean. Cupboard dishes were dirty. There was not enough cooking and eating utensils and pots and pans. There were no board games in the house for a fun family evening. The beds in all five bedrooms were has hard as a rock. No one slept very good.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m glad to hear you felt welcomed, but I’m truly sorry to learn that several aspects of your stay didn’t meet expectations. We’ll be addressing the yard and dish cleanliness with our team immediately, as this is not the standard we aim to provide. We’re also reviewing our inventory of utensils, cookware, and other kitchen essentials to ensure the home is better equipped for future guests. Board games are a great suggestion, and we’ll plan to add a selection for families to enjoy. I’m especially sorry to hear the beds were not comfortable for your group. While mattress comfort can vary by preference, we will reassess them to ensure they meet a quality standard. We appreciate your feedback, it helps us improve. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to offer a much better experience in the future.

Great Location, lacking in kitchen essentials

We stayed for a long weekend for a softball tournament and had a great time. The home is definitely lacking in some kitchen essentials but we found it comfortable and the property manager for our stay was helpful and even dropped off some items that were lacking. I will say the home "sleeps 16", but has beds for 12 people at most and three couches. Sleeping 16 would be a stretch.

Disappointed

The place was not on the marina as indicated in the description but was on a dirty canal and the picture was of a unit that was across the way on the same canal. The floor was filthy. We scrubbed it twice with vinegar and it was still dirty. The furniture was dirty. The kitchen faucet was broken. The plumbing was subpar. We are extremely disappointed.

Great Location

After all the threats in the listing about being respectful of the neighbors, it would have been nice if the house was better. The floors turned your socks black, the dishes in the cupboard were not washed (there were lots of Cascade pods for the dishwasher), the coffee pots had grounds in the baskets, not all the sheets were changed (we brought our own Tide pods) and the front screen door was broken. I know we left the house cleaner than we found it. It made a great base location for all we wanted to do. The ability to park 3 vehicles at the property was a plus. I am reasonably certain that this poor review means I will get a negative VRBO rating and not get back my cleaning deposit on the house. Alas, I am willing to risk it.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 October 2023
Thanks for your feedback, we do appreciate it. When you write a review on VRBO both the guest and the host can not read them until the other has posted. Therefore a guest nor a host can write a review based on what the other has said. I can reply to your review but as for ratings it is done at the same time. We are working closely with this house and using all our guests feedback to make improvements. We do thank you for sharing.

Defective Home - If I could rate ZERO, I would!

WORST experience ever and I have rented many homes thru VRBO. The floor plan is awesome if you're in need to rent a home for a very large party. We had a total of 14 people and felt that there were rooms for everyone. When we arrived, we noticed the house smelled like marijuana which we brushed off. The kitchen faucet was broken and constantly dripping, and the coffee pot was filthy with layers of mold that required a hot soak and deep cleaning. The master toilet is broke, doesn't flush well and also the bathroom on the second floor has issues. This house has a ton of plumbing issues. The shower has missing parts. Cold is hot and hot is cold! Mandy, which she called herself the owner at first, came by to replace the light bulbs that went out and told us she would bring a grill. Granted this conversation took place on day 1, we rented the home for 6 nights! Day 4 we still had NO grill. I informed Mandy of the plumbing issues, and she acted like she was not aware. The plumber flaked on coming by. Mandy came over unannounced to fix the master toilet. She left tools and a mess in the water closet and apparently forgot her cell. Our teenage sons were eating lunch, and someone randomly walked in the house ran upstairs to grab the phone left in the water closet! At this point, I had enough. We requested a refund and she quit responding to my texts. At one point she admitted the house was a headache! I asked for the owners contact info and she has yet to reply!
