This was our first time ever using a short-term rental. My husband, 2 kids (7 & 10), and I were looking for a place to relax and get away. We chose this rental because of the reviews. This place exceeded our expectations!
Just like most reviews the property itself was better than expected. The property is so clean and beautiful. The upstairs was perfect for our children, there was an Xbox with lots of games provided. There are also board games and card games provided to have a family game night.
It’s not pictured and it was not in the description, but there is only a shower in the bathroom, no bath tub. I appreciated the detachable shower head in the shower. Also, located in the bathroom was a stacked washer and dryer that worked great with small loads. The one thing I was unsure of was the infinity mirrors located in the bathroom, I thought it was weird but my husband and kids loved it lol!
The kitchen had all the basic necessities cooking oil, salt, pepper, pots pans, toaster, regular coffee maker. We did not utilize the BBQ, but all the tools were provided. Safeway and Raley’s are a short drive from the property, if you need groceries.
I had brought my own items, but a lot of the basics were provided. Laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, towels, extra pillows and blankets, sunscreen, bug spray, toiletries. Although I prefer my own toiletries, the only thing you really need are your own toothbrush and toothpaste.
The 10 minute walk to Speedboat Beach was easily done, but if you have younger kids I would suggest bringing a wagon. The property is only a short drive to Kings Beach recreational area and the Stateline Fire Look Out. All great places to checkout.
The only thing that worried me was the casinos literally next door, but it was not an issue as that whole area did not seem very busy. In fact the neighborhood itself is very quiet.
Of all the features that this property has to offer, my kids loved the backyard area because of all the wild life that ran through the yard. Lizards, rabbits, and squirrels. We made sure to utilize the bear box because that was one creature we did not want to see. Overall, definitely would recommend this property to a family of 4 or a couple looking for a quiet getaway.
