About this house rental

Experience the best of North Lake Tahoe lakefront living at Sandy Cove, a peaceful lakeside cottage located in Tahoe Vista on the North Shore. Just steps from the shoreline, this beautifully renovated vacation rental offers access to a private sandy beach, HOA pier, and breathtaking Lake Tahoe views, making it an ideal getaway for couples and outdoor enthusiasts.

Situated within The Franciscan Lodge, this one-bedroom Lake Tahoe cottage is not directly on the water but is only moments from the lake. Inside, the inviting living room features a comfortable sectional sleeper sofa, cozy gas fireplace, and large flat-screen TV. The newly remodeled kitchenette includes stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked for preparing meals before heading out to explore North Lake Tahoe.

The private ensuite bedroom offers a queen-size bed and opens to a fully renovated, spacious bathroom, creating a relaxing retreat after a day on the lake or the trails.
Step outside to your front porch and enjoy immediate access to two private sandy beaches and a scenic HOA pier, perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or watching legendary Lake Tahoe sunsets. Additional HOA amenities include a seasonal swimming pool, clubhouse, lakeside volleyball court, multiple stainless steel BBQs, and on-site property management. Convenient parking is located just outside the unit.

This North Lake Tahoe vacation rental is only 3 minutes from Kings Beach restaurants and shopping and just a 10-minute drive to Northstar California Resort, making it ideal for both summer and winter stays.

ABOUT THE AREA
Just west of Kings Beach and running right along the lake, Tahoe Vista is a favorite of outdoor enthusiasts. For lake lovers, kayaking from one of several hidden beaches, or a motorized excursion from the new Tahoe Vista Recreation Area boat launch facility are two Tahoe Vista treats.

Tahoe Getaways provides fantastic customer service. If I've ever needed them, they return my phone call immediately and have acted swiftly on any concern I have had. The little cabin I have sits on the water and is quaint and comfortable. Every little detail is met to the highest standard. I highly recommend renting through Tahoe Getaways.

Excellent little unit. Very close to a great beach. House was clean and well kept. Within walking distance to Pep's Place for great sandwiches and Cable Car Ice Cream shop. Short drive to King's Beach where there is a nice Safeway grocery store and restaurants to eat at. Highly recommend! Thanks

Cabin was cozy but next to the highway. Also needed some TLC. Floor board in front of the kitchen sink was loose and presented a tripping hazard. The bathroom fan didn’t work. And one of the key cards quit working after the 2nd day. We could easily walk to the lake shore. Also the lack of an entrance sign made cabin hard to find the first few times, esp. with road construction going on right in front. Easy to fix meals in well equipped kitchen. Tahoe Vista is a nice community.
