About this property

Sandy Cove on the North Shore -Lakeside Cottage w Private Pier + Beach, & HOA Amenities

Lakeside locations don't get much better than this! Welcome to Sandy Cove on the North Shore, a peaceful lakeside cottage in North Lake Tahoe, just a stone's throw from a pristine, private beach with its own pier and breathtaking lake views. This idyllic Lake Tahoe getaway promises a perfect retreat for couples and adventurous travelers.

Located at The Franciscan Lodge in Tahoe Vista, this beautifully updated one-bedroom lakeside haven offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. While, not directly on the water, this unit sits steps away from the shore line. Inside, the living room features a comfortable sectional couch that pulls out to a double bed, a cozy gas fireplace, and a huge flat-screen TV. The newly remodeled kitchenette shines with stainless steel appliances and has everything you need to cook up delicious meals before heading out for a day of Lake Tahoe adventures. The ensuite bedroom, dressed with a queen-sized bed, leads to a fully renovated, spacious bathroom.

From your furnished front porch, you are mere steps away from two private sandy beaches and a picturesque private pier—a fabulous place to watch those legendary Lake Tahoe sunsets. Adjacent to the pier, a volleyball court with stunning lake views invites friendly competition. This Lake Tahoe retreat also offers a swimming pool, a clubhouse, several stainless steel BBQs on the grounds, and the added convenience of on-site property management. There's also parking just out your front door for easy access!

In addition to being only 3 minutes away from the shops and restaurants in Kings Beach, you're also just a quick 10-minute drive from Northstar Resort. For those who crave outdoor adventures, North Lake Tahoe Regional Park, located just across the street from the property, offers amenities like tennis courts, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and much more!

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. For landlubbers, the nearby regional park sports a year-round trailhead for mountain biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, a disc golf course, nature trails, and sweet swing sets.

In the winter, you are less than fifteen minutes from Northstar California. There, enjoy access to almost 100 trails and over 3,000 skiable acres, impeccable grooming, incredible tree skiing, and enough variety to challenge every level of skier.

Nice location and easy walk to the beach. All advertisements represented this cabin to have a view of the lake but was actually next to the road with a view of parking lot.

Wonderful family vacation!

The property was very clean, cozy and right on the beach. The property was very well equipped with cooking necessities, very useful for a family. We had a great time relaxing in the living space and small patio. Small but comfy bed and a little loud since it’s close to the main road but would stay here again!

Rejuvenating

This little cabin was ideal. It was steps away from the lake and clean as a whistle. Yes, it is by the street, but that did not affect the experience, as most of the time was spent down by the water. The cabin is spacious and modern in design. The bed was super comfy, and I loved that it had a hair dryer (I forgot mine.) It was a wonderful experience.

Pros and Cons

Overall, our stay was great. Pros, there is a coffee shop, pizza spot, and ice cream stand all within walking distance. Cons, road noise, and although we were told the beach is dog friendly there is a sign saying no dogs. Tahoe is becoming very buys with traffic, but we would stay here again.

Perfect Location

We loved being so close to our favorite beaches. The place was super fresh and clean. The bed was super comfortable and enjoyed relaxing on the new couch. The kitchen had everything we needed with the exception of sharp knives. We always bring a sharp knife when we travel so not a problem. Will definitely look into staying here again in the future.

Great location

Location was great and check in was easy. Other than that... There was a laminated paper left on the dining table regarding "information about the property, if you need to contact the owner, the checkout process..." I attempted to contact the owner and got a response stating that she sold the property over a year ago, didn't know why they hadn't changed the information left and did not want to be contacted again regarding the property. There was no AC in the unit, there was no shampoo for the shower, there was no remote for the large TV in the living room. On the bottom of the couch there is metal bent outward in multiple spots. My foot brushed against it and it immediately cut my foot causing it to bleed for awhile... And the checkout instructions were not updated/accurate so we just had to figure it out on our own and do what we have done at previous locations to not be penalized.

A Perfect Getaway near Lake Tahoe

Cabin Review: A Perfect Getaway Near Lake Tahoe I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming cabin close to Lake Tahoe, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of the space. The cabin was meticulously maintained, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. I loved finding a hair dryer since I had forgotten mine. The interior boasted a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities. The open floor plan allowed for plenty of natural light, and the tasteful decor made it feel like a true home away from home. The comfortable furnishings made it easy to relax after a day of exploring the stunning surroundings. One of the highlights of my stay was the exceptional service provided by Tahoe Getaways. They were incredibly responsive and attentive, especially when I encountered a brief issue with the Internet. Within just a few hours, they had everything restored, allowing me to stay connected while enjoying my vacation. Their commitment to guest satisfaction truly stood out and made my experience even more enjoyable. The location of the cabin was another major plus. Just a few short steps from the breathtaking Lake Tahoe, I was able to easily access outdoor activities like hiking and, of course, soaking in the stunning lake views. Overall, my stay at this cabin was nothing short of wonderful. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-designed retreat near Lake Tahoe, I highly recommend booking with Tahoe Getaways. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable getaway!
