Tahoe Keys Mountain Vistas-Waterfront, A/C , Dock

Tahoe Keys Mountain Vistas-Waterfront, A/C , Dock

8/10 Good
"Rental company was extremely responsive! We walked into a very clean house. Property was great! It has a bit of wear and tear and I believe the rental company will be very responsive to our suggestions, especially the need of a new fridge since the current fridge is 2002 model. It doesn't match the other superior kitchen appliances. A couple of things to note if you are a boater and using the dock to bring your own boat: 1. You can't leave your trailer in the driveway, so plan ahead where you will store it. 2. This particular property is next to the entrance for the barge that comes in to clean all the weeds, and as such, the side yard is empty and lots of geese and geese poop. You can buy geese deterrent items and should do so prior to your visit and bring them with you. Otherwise you will be hosing massive amounts of poop off the dock and your boat deck which is a bit of a daily chore. 3. Ask for a tool to clean up the weeds around the dock. We couldn't find one, but we noticed many neighbors and locals using a special tool to clean the weeds around the dock. We would absolutely stay at this property again if the fridge is replaced. The neighbors were friendly, and there is a lot of space to relax."

"Communication with the host was excellent. There were a few things that the property needed and the owner personally brought it to us. The kitchen was perfect for a big group, double stoves, dishwashers, washer/dryer. The beds were very comfortable. It was the perfect property for our large group. If I could recommend something, some of the rooms did need screens on the windows as it got warm during the day. We also couldn’t use the hot tub because the jet was broken and we had to keep filling it up with the hose because it was leaking. Overall, we had a great stay and I would definitely stay here again."
