Some vacation rental homes truly have it all, and Front and Center is definitely one of those homes! Front and Center boasts a fabulous location just up the street from two public beaches: Carnelian West, offering 500 feet of lake frontage, picnic tables and an adjacent shared pier at Gar Woods Restaurant, and Patton Landing, a three-acre, pebbly beach known as the north shore's paddle boarding headquarters, with available rentals and a gourmet coffeehouse. Conveniently located between Tahoe City and Kings Beach, this lovely home is ideally situated to take advantage of a plethora of shopping, dining, and outdoor adventure opportunities. This family home offers the perfect combination of warmth, spaciousness and entertainment features. Downstairs, the presence of a ping pong table, shuffleboard table, foosball table, 65' TV with speakers and a hot tub ensures there will never be a dull moment. Upstairs, a circular breakfast nook table beckons for a competitive game of cards, while the chef in the group can set a beautiful dining table for a more formal dinner. For those who love to grill, the large upper deck is the ideal space for barbecuing and lounging after a glorious day in the sun. When it is time to retire, the spacious primary suite upstairs, with access to the back deck for lazy star gazing and a work desk for checking emails, caters to every need. Downstairs, the kids will appreciate the bunk room with its own TV and a guest room with cozy linens. With a lovely setting and an abundance of amenities, Front and Center is the perfect vacation destination in and of itself!

Pets Considered

Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is offered in your Vacation Rental Agreement for purchase through Generali Global. We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance at the time your contract is executed. Travel insurance provides coverage for prepaid, nonrefundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation, such as road closures, illness, etc. To view a Description of Coverage, enter your "Application Date" (date of purchase or today's date) and your state of residence here. You do not need to enter a policy number. Here you will find the complete details of what Travel Insurance will cover.

Pet Policy
Pets are allowed only at properties that indicate Pets Considered in the amenities tab. If you are planning to bring your pet, please conduct your search specifically for a home that is pet-friendly. Prior written approval is required, and a pet fee applies. Please call our office to inquire about your pet, as homes may have varying policies.

County Rules
Each county requires we inform you of the rules and regulations relevant to your home's Short Term Rental Permit. We thank you in advance for abiding by the rules below, also included in your signed in the Vacation Rental Agreement.

Maximum Occupancy: There shall be no gatherings, events, weddings or other group functions on the Premises with more people than the number of persons stated on the Agreement.
Parking: Parking on the street is prohibited at all times. All cars, boats, and trailers must be parked in the garage and/or driveway.

Quiet Hours: Quiet hours are 9pm-8am, seven days a week, Noise carries easier and further in higher elevations and over water. Per the ordinance: No sound from the vacation rental home shall be audible from the parcel line during this time. Noise shall be minimized in order that it not be an unreasonable annoyance, disturbance or nuisance to neighbors.

Lights Out: All exterior lights that are not needed for safety must be turned off between the hours of 10pm-7am, seven days a week. Per the Ordinance: All exterior lights must be turned off that are not needed for safety or other outdoor use to the extent that such other outdoor use is not an unreasonable nuisance to neighbors.

Red Flag Warnings: Due to extreme fire danger, bonfires, charcoal barbecues and wood-burning fire pits are strictly prohibited. On Red Flag Warning Days, when fire hazards are especially dangerous, typically due to dry conditions and high winds, additional restrictions are imposed by the North Tahoe Fire Protection District and prohibited. You cannot use outdoor gas grills or gas fire pits during Red Flag Warnings. All outdoor fires are prohibited, both gas and wood. It is your responsibility to be informed of Red Flag Warnings. You will see signs on the front of all fire district stations, hear about it on the news, see it on social media and hear about it on the radio.

Winter Driving
Many highways, access roads and/or driveways are steep in Tahoe/Truckee and may be icy in the winter. To ensure your safety, it is critical that during November 1st - April 30th brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater and exhaust system are in top condition. Tires need to be properly inflated and the tread must be in excellent condition. Always carry tire chains, even if driving an AWD/4WD vehicle. Make sure the chains are the proper size for your tires and are in working order. You may find valuable winter driving tips from the CHP here: https://bit.ly/3IKiY7n

Summer Patio Furniture
Patio furniture is available for your use during summer months only. All outdoor tables, chairs and loungers are put into storage in the fall, in order to protect the furnishings from winter weather. Barbecue grills, however, do remain outside for your enjoyment.

Black bears are very common in this area and have become habituated to human food and garbage. Because bears no longer have a strong fear of humans, you may encounter bears during your spring, summer and fall stays. Feeding bears is illegal. Leaving food outside, trash accessible, or doors and windows unlocked is likely to cause significant property damage to homes and to vehicles. Please take a moment to learn how to be Bear Aware, so that we can continue to live in harmony with our wildlife.

Office Holiday Hours
The TLUXP office is closed on New Year’s Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate check-ins and check-outs on these dates. Thank you for understanding.

We had a great time. Like a snow globe during the storm! Some things were in slight disrepair, but we worked it out.

Great Location

House was in an unbelievable location. We could walk to Garwoods which was a huge bonus if we wanted to pop by for a drink or walk the beach and pier outside. House was perfect with a cool play room for the kids.

Great house, Great Location!

My family and I stayed here over the 4th and enjoyed how quiet the neighborhood was as well as the quick 2 minute walk to Garwoods. The house was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen. The large deck was great for evening chilling amongst the trees.

Tahoe 2022

The place was beautiful, had plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Walking distance to the lake and a couple restaurants. We really didn’t appreciate the bullet that was shot in the window from the inside. Then we had someone come by wanting to fix it. Also, the couch in the master bedroom had tons of dog hair all over it. Other than that really great place!

All the amenities and so close to the Lake

We loved staying here! It had all the amenities we needed for our family. Plenty of space, nice linens, a well-supplied kitchen, and fast WiFi. Hot tub was wonderful after a long day in the snow. TVs in every room to keep all guests occupied. We had another family stay with us for a few days and never felt cramped in the house. Only a short walk to Garwoods for food and drinks!

Would recommend

Overall we enjoyed our stay at this property. The location to 2 dog beaches within walking distance was very convenient. The house was super clean with new bedding. The layout of the house is great as well. This has to be the most well-equipped house we've ever rented. The kitchen has everything you need. The patio deck was very nice to eat out on or to lay and relax on the lounge chairs. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Please note that this house does not have air conditioning. During our stay the temp in Tahoe averaged at a high of 85+ to a low of 55 degrees. It got pretty warm in the house from about 2pm - 10pm, especially the upstairs (living room, kitchen, master). They had fans available which helped a bit but the thermostat read between 82 - 85 degrees. Many places in Tahoe do not have central AC but it's just something you should be aware of. No house is perfect but the screen door for the living room sliding glass door was broken and the patio light was out.

Awesome house and location

We rented this house for spring break so that our family can enjoy our last ski trip before the season ends. The house was very clean, had great light, was close to the lake, and in a quiet neighborhood. I would highly recommend this house to anyone. You won’t be disappointed.
