About this property

Amazing Location City Beach Brownstone - Lake, Park, Spa

Thank you for visiting our listing. The lake, mountains and beauty awaits your arrival at City Beach Brownstone. Families have come from every corner of the United States to enjoy our home. We hope that if your travels bring you to Coeur d'Alene, that you will be able to be our guest. If you have questions please feel free to phone us or you may contact us by email.

Enjoy a cup of morning coffee on the covered porch and prepare for a day at the lake. There are only seven homes between you and city beach (about a 3 minute walk. This lifeguard-staffed beach is located within minutes of the world-class Coeur d'Alene Resort as well as the family-friendly city park.

The 'City Beach Brownstone' is located in the prestigious 'Fort Grounds' neighborhood. This 1905 stone home was completely 're-invented' in 2006 taking care to maintain the homes heart and soul. Hardwood floors are gleaming throughout the home on both levels. This well-appointed home includes luxury linens, jetted soaking tub, granite counters, original clawfoot tub, uncluttered contemporary art, comfortable furniture, and two stories to spread out your family.

If you are considering a family vacation this home puts you steps away from the beachfront excitement yet surrounded by a tranquil neighborhood. North Idaho College summer plays are an easy walk away as well as the Castle Play Structure in the city park.
The famous Coeur d'Alene golf course with its island green is nearby as well as Tubbs Hill, parasailing, great restaurants, art galleries, and shopping.

The main floor bedroom has a king luxury bed, the two bedrooms upstairs have one luxury king bed and a luxury queen bed.

If you and your family like to experience a city from within the community, we invite you to be our guest.

Needs Repair

The location of this property is fantastic! Walking distance to the beach and park! The neighborhood is lovely. Lots of older homes that have been remodeled. This home was very clean and the communication was awesome. However, this home needs a lot of work. I wish I could add pictures. Several unsightly items inside (whomever did the remodel needs to be fired), the yard is a mess and the front porch was very dirty (we cleaned it as best we could) and the table and chairs all need repair. The porch is disappointing as that is the sweetest spot in the house. Also the upstairs was very warm for sleeping. They did have portable room coolers, but didn't help much. Some of the window couldn't be opened since they still had storm windows on them and not screens. I don't usually complain, but I rely on other peoples reviews in making my decision on what to rent so felt I needed to be really honest. We rent VRBO's all over the world.

Misleading House Details

Host was pleasant to speak to but inattentive to the resolving the misleading details presented in the description. He did not send us check in instructions so we had to call when we arrived. Listing states it can sleep 8 but it only sleeps 6 and the host confirmed the hide-a-bed in the living room was removed a few years ago. Upper bedroom ceiling looked as though it was about to collapse as there was cracking, sagging and a hole showing rafters. Advertises a fireplace but does not disclose you have to provide the wood. Lastly, to unlock the deadbolts of the front and back doors from the inside a key was needed which is a safety hazard to exit in an emergency. House was charming and the issues could have been resolved rather easily with a little more effort.

Great Location

The location is top notch, for our family the size of the house worked very well, the front deck was a great place to have morning coffee. It was 100° on our first night, very warm in the upstairs, but not much can be done about that kind of temperature. I would recommend.

Family Vacation 2023

We loved our stay and the proximity to the lake was perfect! I went for a walk each morning. Dan was easy to reach before we arrived and after when we left something behind. My only suggestions would be to turn on the upper AC prior to guests arrive. It took a bit to cool it down. And maybe put a sofa sleeper in the library. But we truly had an amazing stay!

Great Location Older House

This house is in prime location from the lake, downtown, and parks! It’s on a quiet street and has a great front porch. It is on the older side 1905 I believe so it does have some rather steep stairs (hard with toddlers) and it was pretty hot upstairs, however I believe we were there during a heat wave. It has everything you need for your stay and Dan is easy to communicate with.

Perfect spot, in a beautiful home

My recent VRBO rental in Coeur d'Alene was nothing short of perfect. The location was ideal, just a short walk from downtown and the beach. The home itself was spacious, comfortable and had everything my family needed for a relaxing vacation. We enjoyed cooking meals in the well-equipped kitchen and relaxing on the front porch. The owner was friendly and accommodating, making for an easy and stress-free rental experience. Overall, I highly recommend this VRBO rental for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient home away from home in Coeur d'Alene.

Great location in CDA

We enjoyed the beautiful quiet neighborhood while being close to downtown and the lake. Older home, but met the basic needs. We only had light breakfasts but the kitchen was reasonably stocked. Plenty of towels and hot water. Enjoyed!
