Description

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. Outdoor lovers will also appreciate being directly across the street from North Lake Tahoe Regional Park, offering tennis courts, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, and more.

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.

It was such a cute and quaint cottage! We absolutely loved our stay especially having our own private beach just feet away. This is a great spot that is close to everything along the North Shore and just across the street from Pep's if you wanted to grab a quick bite to eat before spending the day at the beach. We'd definitely come back! Thanks for hosting us!

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.

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!

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.

This cabin at The Franciscan Lodge is a hidden gem on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe! We enjoyed a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views, and loved watching unforgettable sunset at the private beach. It is located close to Kings Beach, and Northstar Resor This cabin is a perfect escape for us!

Cozy and convenient

This cabin exceeded our expectations! The private beach is about 20-30 steps away with breathtaking views. The cabin Inside is cozy and roomy! Loved its convenience with close distance to Kings Beach, and Northstar. Their is also a regional park at the next traffic light with fairly new playground that is large and peacefully sits among woods. There is a few restaurants and cafes nearby at walking distance. We walked to Jiffys Pizza, liked their food and staffs were very friend. The cafe right across the street in front of the complex has decent breakfast offerings, not the best but was a good spot to grab morning coffee and walk on the beach. There is also a large Safeway, about 5 mins away towards King beach direction with a lot of options for quick groceries/snacks. will definitely return!
