About this property

Cozy Pine Cove Cottage #5

There is no doubt that the crisp mountain air, the smell of pine, and the sound of waves against the shore will make your Lake Tahoe getaway unforgettable.

Vacation to this charming vintage beach cottage, just steps from one of the North Shore's most beautiful white sand beaches. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath Tahoe Vista retreat blends the charm of yesteryear with the modern conveniences of today. Whether you're here to relax by the water or get out and explore, this cozy getaway has it all.

This home is in an unbeatable location. Simply walk out the door to the shores of the Lake Tahoe Beach. Rentals for paddle boards, kayaks, jet skis, and ski boats are just a few blocks away. A grocery store is only 2 minutes by car—or take a short 10-minute stroll. Walk to nearby restaurants, or head 10 minutes down the road to the casinos for more entertainment.

Inside, the cottage has a warm and inviting living space with a sofa, dining table for four, large flat screen TV, and a peek view of the lake. The well-maintained lawn area provides a great space for kids to play after a day at the beach.

Features:
* Steps from a sandy Lake Tahoe beach (sand varies with lake level/snowpack)
* Nearly Beachfront
* Lawn area for kids to play
* Walking distance to restaurants and shops
* Casinos just 10 minutes away
* Paddle board, kayak, jet ski, and boat rentals nearby

Bedroom/Bathroom Configurations:
* Bedroom 1: Queen Bed
* Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
* Bathroom Hallway: One full bath with shower

Location:
You'll be in the heart of Tahoe Vista on the beautiful North Shore of Lake Tahoe. With the lake just outside your door, you can enjoy an effortless beach day, or take a quick walk or drive to explore Kings Beach (5 minutes away) for additional dining and shopping options. Several major ski resorts are also within a short drive, making this cottage a perfect year-round getaway.

Pet Friendly:
Maximum number of dogs allowed is 2. Additional pet fees apply.

Host was very welcoming and the cottage is adorable. We will definitely rent this place again, maybe in the Fall. The only issue was the heat was too warm even though we set it completely to the left. The cottage was warm when we arrived.
