The Neighborhood:
Situated just minutes away from the sandy shores of Lake Tahoe, you can’t beat the location of this home for summer fun. A quick one-minute drive, or five-minute walk, will take you to Sandy Beach, a beautiful small beach located through the trees. Or make the quick 5-minute drive to Waterman’s Landing, which is a pet-friendly beach great for swimming and where you can rent every type of watercraft imaginable. Nearby Patton Beach you will find more entertainment and dining options such as the famous Garwoods Bar and Grill, a wonderful lakefront dining experience, CB’s Bistro and Pizza for family dinners, Magic Carpet Mini Golf and Arcade for the little ones, and a 7-11 for all of your late-night needs. The beautiful Carnelian West Beach provides another excellent swimming spot just a five-minute drive from the home. In the winter months, you are only 10 minutes from Northstar, 25 minutes from Palisades Tahoe, and 10 minutes from the Tahoe City Nordic Center where you will find a huge network of trails for XC Skiing or snowshoeing. If a little less physical activity is what you are looking for, you are just a 14-minute drive west to Tahoe City and 3 minutes east from Kings Beach. In both places, you will find sandy beaches, farmers markets and major grocery stores, golf courses, small boutique shopping, waterfront parks, golf courses, weekly concerts in the summer, and a wide variety of bars and restaurants. You are also 10 minutes from the Nevada state line, where you will find casinos and concert venues. This home is the perfect launching pad for any Lake Tahoe experience!

Getting Around:
Centrally located off HWY 28 the home is a short 3-minute walk to a public transportation stop, so you can comfortably get by without having a vehicle if needed. Just 0.2 miles away, you will find the public transportation TART stop at Hwy 28 at National Ave (Shelter). From here you are just a 20-minute bus ride to Tahoe City where you can easily connect to other locations at the Tahoe City Transit Center to locations such as Northstar California Resort. Those with a vehicle enjoy being close to HWY 28 and the quick access it provides to the beautiful surrounding areas, with less than a 15-minute drive to Tahoe City and a 10-minute drive to the Nevada state line. Just a five-minute drive will take you to Patton Beach, and in the opposite direction, the popular Kings Beach is only a 3-minute drive away. In the wintertime, you are centrally located for skiing all of the best resorts with a 25-minute drive or less from three of the area's best ski resorts, Northstar, Squaw Valley ski resort, and Tahoe Nordic Cross Country Center.

Tahoe has UBER, Lyft, and many taxi companies.

Everything appeared clean until I dropped my ring and it rolled under couch. There was so much dirt, lint and paper garbage under the couch…

Great stay

We had a wonderful stay. It was clean and had everything that was listed. Some towels and wash cloths in the kitchen would have been nice but there was paper towels provided. Awesome location, loved being able to walk down to the beach in the evenings.

The Perfect Bay

This was our second time at this location and we wont reserve any where else when in N Lake Tahoe. The walk to the Agatam bay is a perfect seculded spot away from the busyness of Kings Beach. The water is shallow and great for small children to play. We rented a boat that was in walking distance. Jiffys pizza is thin and amazing. A steal house is pretty much in ur driveway. It has it all.
