"A nice, handy place to stay.
We had a lovely time and this was a very good place to stay. We had family staying in a nearby unit which worked out well. This unit was in nice shape except the window shades. Suggest Drapes instead of the shades, esp in the downstairs bedroom where the window needs to be open but the exterior lights shine in at night. The repair to the internet cable where the squirrel ate it was very smooth, thank you. All appliances and heat worked well. The clubhouse with games, ping pong, air hockey, pool etc. was a great hit with the kids and the whole family. I really appreciate having being right on top of any questions we had. Beach is nice and close as it good breakfast place and coffee if you don't want to cook.

"Beautiful Tahoe
The place worked well for our needs. We had a great Tahoe weekend. Location is nice--walk to mini golf or rock beach or to hikes. Also nice to have access to a pool--after a day at a Tahoe beach the kids still want to swim in the pool!"

"Tahoe & Carnelian Woods 2024
Our rental experience has been consistent, year over year.
The units are clean and ready upon arrival.
From time to time, we have experienced something that stops working (fridge, W&D, etc), but the Property Manager has always been very responsive to address during our stay.
Would we come back for another stay?
Well, yes! In fact this is year 49 of return visits to the same property!��"

"Great Ski Weekend
We had a wonderful stay at Rock Beach condo. The condo was perfect for our party of 6. very clean when we arrived, beds and sheets super comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for what we needed. The new bbq on the deck was great and we loved having the washer and dryer in the unit. The location was great to go to the different ski areas, and we enjoyed the short walk to the lake with amazing views. The hot tub after a long day of skiing was very nice. One of the best condos we have stayed in in Tahoe. We will be back. "

"Great Place to stay, not fancy, but good.
We enjoyed our stay. Communication was great, Everything was clean, setup nicely. Kitchen and Baths are original, which is OK. My only complaint is that the window shades that were broken in the main room and should be fixed. "

The property was very nice and close to the ski resort. There were restaurants and stores nearby to go too. The home was very welcoming and had plenty of amenities. "

"family friendly condo on North Lake Tahoe
The condo was spacious and provided more than enough room for our family of 5. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and we enjoyed the location. The property was great and the tennis courts, pool/hot tub and game room were fun for all of us. Unfortunately, we found the property to be extremely dark- there were no overhead lights and not nearly enough lamps to be able to see well. The coverings on the sliding glass doors kept falling down and some of the mini-blinds were broken. The kitchen floor/rug didn't appear very clean, but all other areas were well-cleaned. We would still recommend the condo."

"First trip to Lake Tahoe
Our vacation rental was in a great location and had almost everything we needed. The only thing we really needed that the kitchen didn’t have was a blender. We cooked all our meals right at the condo and it was very comfortable. The Frig had a couple issues like the numbers on the dial were worn off so whatever it was on when we arrived was causing our salads and fruit to freeze in the Frig so after I adjusted it with some guess work it was fine but it also had a leak in the Frig that we had to keep soaking up the water from. I let the rental agency know so that the next guess hopefully wouldn’t have to keep cleaning up the water. We also really enjoyed the pool, hot tubs and pickle ball courts. Communication was excellent prior, during and at the end of our stay. Overall a great stay. "

This was a very good place to stay. Much better than a hotel. The family could gather in om=ne room. Everything was there that was needed."

"Did the job
Overall, it was a great location and nice home to spend a short vacation in. 20 minute drive to both North Star and the Palisades. We were VERY bummed that the hot tub was barely open and the hours were limited. If you want a hot tub don't stay here. That was a MUST for my group and I wouldn't have booked this place had I known. Hours were Noon-8:45pm and once we arrived management said it was only open Friday and Saturday. We went there on Saturday and were informed that they would be closing early by the guy running the office. Definitely a bummer."

"Summer family vacation
We have stayed in many Carnelian Woods condos. While we enjoyed the size of this rental, the screens on the windows need fixing, there are big gaps in most of them. There is no A/C or fan in the main room, so the loft gets very hot for kids. Because the screens are broken they also got bitten by mosquitoes. "

"Enjoyable Stay!
What a great condo to stay in to escape the valley heat! The condo was roomy for my family of 4; and had very comfortable beds and couches! We enjoyed the forest view from the balcony! Looking forward to our next stay! "

"Clean, Quite And Close To The Action
We enjoyed our stay! The property is located close to the lake in a quite townhome community. It’s within walking or short drive to restaurants, the lake and ski resorts. The accommodations are a bit more basic, but clean and comfortable. Would suggest replacing the broken sliding glass door shades. Only warning is beware of the $500 security deposit. It was almost as much as our two night stay and it took 10 days to have it refunded. It seems that once the cleaning crew cleans after our stay and a new renter goes in (possibly same day), the rental company should initiate the return. Not sure why it had to take so long. "

"Great location, so-so unit
The good: near the lake and a few other amenities, pool was open on our last day (check due to COVID situation), spacious, comfortable beds, decent kitchen.
The bad: very little light, always kind of dreary. Fully light at 5am, hard to get good sleep."

"Comfortable condo
We came for a ski vacation. The kitchen was a little dated, fridge had issues with temp. Froze first night, thawed the next. Was excited to use the fireplace after a long day of skiing, to find out they don’t supply any firewood, we would need to drive to town to buy some☹️. The beds were comfy and lots of hot water. "

"Way better then anticipated!
We arrived in the evening and didn't have any trouble finding the condo. It's in a great neighborhood and we found everything we needed.We were a party of 5 so the bedrooms being spread out was very convenient. We used the bbq and the deck.the house was exactly like the pictures. The neighbors were very nice and even the bears came out!"

"A pleasant Stay
We have used these accommodations for two years in a row when we spend the weekend in Tahoe to go ride bicycles around the lake - They are very comfortable and the only thing I would say is they could perhaps use a few more kitchen utensils. But I would definitely recommend this place."

"Great Location
The location was perfect! Garwoods was 2 minutes from the condo for dinner or appetizers. Breakfast at The Old Post Office Cafe was delicious and easily a short walk. The beach, again walking distance was beautiful and picnic tables for snacks. The condo was nice and comfy. The only draw back was a group of young girls who stayed up partying ALL night long across the way."

"Great multi-level home in a quiet neighborhood
First impression was very strong. House has 2 bedrooms and a full bath downstairs with tons of closet storage. Second floor is the great room with a huge dining room table and great kitchen. Upstairs is a loft with a queen bed and a bunk bed. We slept 3 adults and 1 child very comfortably. Great location in Carnelian Bay, walking distance to great restaurants and trails, andample parking make this spot a great go-to for the future. "

"A decent stay, close to the lake and only 20 mins from Alpine
This was a duplex + loft and a good amount of space for 5 to 7 people. The place was nice, well done up and bathrooms were clean. The check-in process was easy and it was really close to the lake and to a few ski resorts which was great. The hot tubs looked great and well maintained but they are an inconvenient distance away from most the houses, so nobody seemed to use them. The kitchen had some of the basics but was not well stocked, no coffee tea or anything. Overall a pleasant stay, but there were a few cons that need to be addressed by the management:
- Both the bathrooms had locks, but they didn't work.
- For checking out, the instructions in the house mentioned to leave the house keys and parking passes at the recreation center, however I was later told that the house keys needed to be left in the lock box at the house itself.
- The recreation center had a few games, but only a few worked, the pool table was out of order and the guy at the desk told us not to play air hockey because it was too loud. What?
- When we were leaving to check out, we opened the front door only to find someone had packed a 6 foot pile of snow at the front door. It took us a while to kick through it and were freezing having to deal with it! Not sure if this was just a prank by some neighbours or if the owners were disliked by someone around but this was a little unsettling to deal with at the end of a vacation. I have mentioned this to the management and hope for a response to this soon."

"Not worth the price!
This 3 story condo was not at all kid/toddler friendly or handicap accessible. The layout, which is not mentioned in the description, is 2 bedrooms on the entry level, kitchen and living on the second floor and an open loft on the third floor. The railings in the loft were far enough apart that my daughter could fit her body through. The child gate provided does not secure in any way and there is only one for two sets of stairs. The back right burner of the stove didn’t work. The handle on the coffee pot fell off while pouring hot coffee and spilled the entire hot pot. TV didn’t work with reception. Internet was in and out. Bathroom doors didn’t lock. Not enough comfortable seating for 8 guests. We had to take turns sitting on the couch or kitchen chairs/floor. Everything was very old and used. Noise traveled throughout the entire house. Minimal kitchen. Showers inexplicably turned ice cold mid shower. It’s a good enough place to sleep and that’s about it. Would not recommend this condo in the winter if you want to cozy up inside. Over priced and underwhelmed!"

"Lake Tahoe North Shore
Love Tahoe vacations and getaways, decent condo layout for family/friends but lousy kitchen and rec center staff. If you don't mind a lame kitchen (plan to eat out) and just sleep and hand here, don't need the spa, then it's fine. For the price, the kitchen should be upgraded and the facilities should be open as advertised. "

"ok
Cons
Kitchen and bathrooms were horrible- They need major work. They are original to the house. Clean, but need a lot of work. The bathrooms are especially bad...really small, disgusting with mold that can't be cleaned any more. NEVER hot water!!! Or at least only one time in 6 days! It was bad.
The master bedroom is awful in regards to the mattress and floor. The floor is scary in regards that is slants to the right SO much and feeling like you will fall through the floor. It needs to be updated/replaced very bad. And the mattress is way too soft and also slopes to the right towards the door.
The carpet is dirty and needs to be cleaned or replaced.
Loft- Bunk beds are nice but top bunk has no side rail. How can anyone possible sleep on top and chance falling off. And the one bunk bed sits right on the side of the over hang and you can fall off to the second floor.
No barbecue! Pieces missing for barbecue to work.
Pros
microwave clean and newer
Good lay out with plenty of room
Great TV package with tons of movies- thank you to quick response from lake accommodations to quickly fix the downstairs tv when not working.
Good location
Great pool area
We would NEVER rent this place again. And we would NEVER recommend this place. Has potential to be great if those things were improved. Thanks"

"Carnelian Bay Condo
The condo is located in a great location, and was in overall pretty good shape. Several problems however, the refrigerator didn't work for three days and a shower wouldn't turn warm for the first day. The shower was repaired immediately, but the fridge took a while. The management company was professional and prompt, which made the problems manageable."

"comfortable and convenient
The condo has a lot of great things about it, the space and layout are nice and spacious for our family of four. The living room and dining room furniture were nice and comfy.
The only issue is that the kitchen and bath rooms are probably original to the condo, 40+ years old? The bathrooms are ok (counters and toilets are very low) it is the kitchen that really needs to be updated. It seemed ok for making breakfast and snacks but not great for making a meal. the counters and cabinets were in bad shape.
Other than that we enjoyed it!"

"bunk beds not usable
Beware if you are coming with children. The bunk beds have no railings and are really shaky. We did not feel we could safely use the top bunks. We carried the mattress down from one and put it on the floor. And we stuck the fourth child in bed with the parents. Also, the bunks are lofted so they are wide open to the communal area. If adults plan to stay up after putting kids down, forget about it. Too much noise. The kitchen is minimally equipped and the whole place is just ok."
Sep 07, 2016 - , Alameda, CA
"Great location
We loved the location which is a short walk to the lake. Kings Beach, Tahoe City & a great park were a short drive away. Just a heads up that the unit doesn't have A/C. We didn't realize that when we booked but even staying in August we did not need it as the condo stayed cool. The condo is nice but it seemed a little dark. We thought the bunk beds in the loft would be great for our kids but once we saw them we chose not to. The top bunks do not have any side rails and the one bunk bed is literally next to the loft railing. If you have a restless sleeper this could easily become a horrific scene. Towels provided were pretty cheap & thin but served their purpose. Would recommend if you are looking for a convenient and generally comfy place. Just don't expect high end amenities."

"No better place
This was a great place to stay. The location was within easy driving distance to several ski places. We arrived in the evening and I was carrying things in from the parking lot. A young man named Chris, an employee of the complex, came through to plow the lot. I asked him where the office was located since I had to pick up a parking permit and the access keys to the rec room. Rather than just give directions, he went to the office himself and came back with what I needed while I finished unloading. I will defiantly stay here again. The place was comfortable and had everything we needed. "

"Good property needs more TV channels and firewood
Condo was very nice up to date and clean.
The only downside was that the TV cable package was very lacking, most of the common popular stations were not subscribed.
There were only 2 small pieces of firewood in the fireplace and none extra.
We had friends who rented a different unit the same weekend. they had a full cable TV package, and a storage closet full of firewood in their entry way.
Other than those two things we were very pleased with the unit."
May 27, 2015 - Cindy A., Yuba City, CA
"Not Good Value for the Money
This unit has pros and cons.
The pros - The TV was awesome, but I wish they had put it above the fireplace since it blocks the view to the outside. The couches were very comfy and the master bedroom was great with a comfortable mattress. Our daughters really liked the loft area. The bunk beds were fun.
The cons - The unit is in serious need of some upgrades. The carpet is very old and needs to be replaced or at minimum could us a good cleaning. The kitchen is VERY old, quirky and has the bare minimum. We managed, but would not want to do any kind of serious cooking there. The counter space is very limited due to the built in butcher block cutting board. We rewashed many of the pots before using them. There was a very strong unpleasant odor in the unit. We immediately bought a scented candle to try to mask the smell. The bathrooms were very dated with very low shower heads. I am 5'6" and the water came at my chest. It was really challenging for my 6'5" husband. The bath towels were very cheep and rough. We had issues with the hot water that required attention and the blinds (both upstairs and downstairs) were not working properly.
The management was very good at responding to our requests and easy to work with, but overall, this unit was disappointing. We did a lot of research to find a good place since we were staying for 6 days. For the price we paid, we thought it would be much nicer. We have stayed in many condos in Tahoe, some much less expensive and in better condition."
Mar 10, 2015 - , San Jose, CA
"Just ok
This property could use a face lift and offer some additional kitchen supplies. The property has 3 levels - lower with 2 bedrooms in good condition and a bathroom that has vent covers and towel rack falling off; second level has a living room with only working TV, dining area, bathroom, and super basic kitchen; the third level has a set of hand made and unsafe bunk beds. One bunk bed is so close to the top rail that it is completely unsafe for children to sleep on. We had no hot water to shower, but a plumber came immediately to help fix, yet not giving us complete warm water for all to shower (some went to the clubhouse to shower). Overall the property served its purpose, location was fine, and clubhouse was a nice amenity. "

While the living room furniture was new, the kitchen was nondescript , ill -supplied , with absolutely nothing except salt and pepper available. The master bath has a very loud fan , poor lighting and broken towel bar. All the toilets need to be updated to comfort height . We had to buy a grill brush and night light for the bathroom and there were no spare light bulbs available. Poor lighting overall, with low wattage bulbs .Very unappealing."

Did you have a good overall stay? Yes
Was the vacation rental in a great location? Yes.
Was the home clean and in good shape? The condo was clean and generally in good condition, but the bed sheets were awful! One set in particular were a polyester gauzey material. I've never seen anything like it before and hope not to ever again! The kitchen equipment was also somewhat lacking - for example, the can opener was not capable of opening a can...
Was the vacation rental management staff helpful? My only contact with the rental management was via e-mail prior to my arrival. The information provided was complete and there were no problems with arrival or departure. The keyless entry was convenient since we arrive late on the first night."

Great layout for 2 families of 4. The kitchen was missing some basics- i.e., the number of forks and spoons were sparse for 8 people- I don't think there were even 8 forks. Also, no spatula? It's hard to make pancakes without one, I'll tell ya! Also, only one garbage bag was provided, when we would have liked to change out the garbage mid-stay. Bed linens were a little cheap and rough. Other than that, it accommodated all 8 of us very well and had what we needed. Thanks!"
