IMPORTANT - please read before booking!
- INDIVIDUALLY OWNED: These units are individually owned condos and therefore this home does NOT include access to the hotel pool, hot tub, BBQ pits, beach chairs or volleyball court next door. You will only have access to the gorgeous beach right outside your sliding door but we think the lake is the best part anyway! 😉
- BUSY CONDO: This home is located in a popular beach front condo complex with other units on top of and on the sides of this home. If you are a light sleeper, this may not be the best spot for you.
- SANDY: Being that this unit is beachfront, sand naturally gets drug in and can re-dirty the floors very easily. We ALWAYS sweep and mop between guests.
- PARKING: This home comes with 2 unassigned first come, first serve parking spots right outside of the condo. There are parking passes inside the condo hanging by the front door.
- QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD: This home is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood. In Tahoe, it’s so quiet at night that you could hear a pin drop. As a result, we prefer to host quiet groups that will abide by all of the county laws. Everyone in your party will need to be out of the hot tub, if there is one, and inside by 10pm. We appreciated it!
- TRAVEL INSURANCE: We HIGHLY recommend that all of our lovely guests purchase travel insurance, as we normally do NOT refund for COVID, smoke, fires, weather, snow storms, road closures, etc. We cannot stress this enough.
- WINTER TRAVEL WARNING: During the Winter, it’s required by law that all vehicles in Tahoe carry chains, even 4WD vehicles. It is NOT recommended that you come in a mini van, Tesla or other low profile vehicle. Our roads are steep and icy so even when it’s not snowing, Tahoe is hard to navigate. We recommend SUVs, Subarus and Trucks with snow/all-terrain tires. We also recommend having some Winter driving experience.
- POWER OUTAGES: Power outages are VERY common in Tahoe. They are especially common during Winter storms. Tahoe homes do not have generators so if the power goes out, the heat might also go out. Coming to Tahoe during the Winter requires a lot of patience and a sense of adventure.
- NO AC: This home, like most in Tahoe, does not have AC but we do provide fans.
- HOME OWNER OWNED: This home is owned by a family or private owner and not by an investor, so you will be renting someone’s home. Grand Welcome does not own this home but helps the owner to manage it.
- HIGH FIRE RISK: Lake Tahoe is a high-risk fire area. Fireworks, wood fire pits, smoking/improper disposal of cigarette butts and charcoal BBQs are STRICTLY prohibited.
- BEARS: Bears and other wildlife frequent this area so make sure to lock up when you leave the home, always lock your car doors and view from afar.
- MOUNTAIN LIFE: Spiders, cobwebs and little mountain mice are common in the mountains. 
- BBQ/DECKS: The BBQ is not serviced and the decks are not shovelled in the winter due to the low temperatures and high snow levels.
- DAMAGE WAIVER: Built into your clean fee is an “Accidental Damage Waiver Policy”. You are covered for anything seen as accidental and anything seen as neglectful, you may be charged for. It’s best to report all damage to us when it occurs. We are pretty understanding!
- SECURITY: Most of our homes have exterior only security cameras and noise decibel monitoring systems to ensure we are in compliance with the county ordinance but we take our guests privacy VERY seriously. There is never indoor cameras and the exterior ones are not monitored. Most owners only look to see bears and snow levels 🙂
- SATISFACTION: If you are in anyway not satisfied, please text our local team as we prefer to handle issues when you are here to ensure your stay with us exceeds expectations! If we are alerted to issues after check out, you may not be refunded so it’s important to report them right away.
- REVIEWS: “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” Same is true for reviews. We please ask that you have some grace and compassion when leaving them and we will do the same when we review you. Remember, that this is someones home before it’s a rental. The owners will see and take your review to heart. Very much appreciated! #spreadlovenothate
- DIRECTIONS: This complex is located behind CVS and to the right of the Lakeshore Lodge. When you drive back there you will see the Lakeshore lodge right ahead. Drive to your right and you will see the building you are staying in. It's the first building to your right closest to CVS (behind Heidi's pancakes).

LATE CHECK OUT: Please let us know 24 hours prior to check out, if you wish to request a late check out. First hour is free then $25/hour after that, not to exceed 1pm. Please note our cleaners sometimes travel for up to 1 hour to clean this home so please respect the 10am check out time. They arrive promptly at 10am.

LOCAL TEAM: This home will be stocked with a starting set of supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, etc. If you need more than what is provided, shoot our local team a text. We do a detailed inspection prior to your arrival to make sure everything is ready for you, but we are human and occasionally stuff is missed. If this happens, please let us know right away so we can make it right!
