We had a great stay. Communication with the property manager was great and they were responsive. Location was peaceful and perfect for our family vacation.
We loved our stay in Marla Bay! We were delighted the place is even better than the photos— we loved having our coffee on the balcony with a view of the lake! It’s an amazing location and a short 5 min drive to Zephyr Cove. Would definitely recommend this place!
My family and I had a wonderful stay. The house was spacious, impeccably clean, and very comfortably fit 5 adults, 1 toddler and 2 babies. The neighborhood was a perfect location. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We would absolutely stay again!
Family Vacation for Snowboarding and Beautiful Zypher Cove.
The whole process was easy and the house was very clean. No complaints. It was our first VRBO and the actual cabin was better in person than the pics. Very cozy and the fireplace was icing on the cake. Great location.
We had a fabulous time at this property. The house was comfortable, well designed, and well stocked. We enjoyed playing cards on the deck, and doing several puzzles that were provided. The public beaches nearby were lovely, and Stateline was just a few minutes away. The owner replied quickly to any questions we had.The only negative is that there is no beach on the property this year, at least not when we stayed.
Property was well kept and in a nice neighborhood. Even though the lake was at full capacity with not much beachfront, we still had access and made use of the lake. It was beautiful and the home is only a short walk from the beach.
The location of the property was amazing. Right near all the beautiful scenic views. we were able to walk down to the lake and enjoy a nice quiet sunrise and sunset! 100% recommend the place.
We went to Lake Tahoe with our family of 4 and another family of 4 and this home was clean, spacious, and had all the things we needed. We highly recommend this place if you're heading to Tahoe as it is right on the lake with private access and a quick drive to the village. We would definitely stay here again if we go to Tahoe. Communication with the homeowner was quick and easy. Judi even texted me to make sure I got into the home okay as well as letting us know about the thermostats as the temperature was taking a little dive. Great vacation!!
Felt like home, we could all fit at the table for meals & games. The filtered view of the lake and bird song in the morning were spectacular! The vaulted wood panel ceilings were incredible and the kitchen, bedroom restroom situations were more than adequate. The management was perfect and we would definitely recommend this amazing home. We wish we knew and were disappointed the lake was too full for our fam to access the private beach. Also, the grandkids didn’t like the feathers poking out of the couch. Great family vacation!
Cleanest and nicest maintained house we have ever stayed in
We (family of 4 with 2 boys) had a wonderful time. We have stayed at VRBOs for over a decade in multiple countries and all over the US and I can say with absolute certainty this is the cleanest and most well maintained house we've ever stayed at. The devil is in the details and even things like the blinds were in great shape and did not have a speck of dust on them. Also, the house had everything you could need. And the owner was really nice and contacted us several times to see if we needed anything.
Location was also great. We skiied at Heavenly, and both the CA and NV side were less than 15 min away. You can walk down to the beach in 3-5 min, which was really nice one afternoon.
All in all, a great week!
We had an amazing time at Lake Tahoe. This house was the perfect home base as it is situated near everything including an amazing private beach a short 2-3min walk down the road. Seriously, the lake is visible from the drive way and is only a short downhill walk. There was more than enough space for 4 adults. The house was incredibly clean, quiet, and cozy. Well stocked kitchen and spacious rooms. The view from the dinning room/patio deck was a wonderful surprise. Judi was extremely responsive, friendly, and helpful when it came to house questions. I can not say enough good things about the overall experience and home. 10/10!
Very beautiful and spacious home. Short drive to the grocery store and casino area. Easy walk to a private beach area that is very nice. Comfy beds and a nice little deck to sit out on. The fireplace in the front room is also very nice. Owner is very attentive and responsive. Would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay at this perfect house. It is exactly as described, well equipped and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the lake through the trees. It's a short walk to a beautiful sandy beach and there's easy access to restaurants and hiking nearby. The owner checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and communication throughout the process was seamless. We will be back!
Perfect location walking distance to the lake. House had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. We had a great stay and can’t wait for our next visit!
Beautiful & functional property 5 minute walk from Lake Tahoe
This Marla Bay home is a gem - it is nice & liveable... There is ample living space, & the deck off the dining room is delightful. Lots of amenities included in the home & it's only a 5 minute walk from Lake Tahoe & the private (accessible to guests) beach. Rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable. We would definitely want to come back to this beautiful spot.
