ABOUT THE AREA
Rubicon Bay is located on the majestic West Shore of Lake Tahoe in an area known as the “Gold Coast.” Positioned just south of Meeks Bay and Sugar Pine Point State Park, this area is known for its seclusion. The sun-drenched sandy beaches and awe-inspiring views of Lake Tahoe have kept visitors coming back for generations.

Choose the difficult but rewarding Rubicon Peak Trailhead at the back of this neighborhood, or take a short drive to Meeks Bay Marina or D.L. Bliss State Park for alternate hiking, biking and snowshoe options. Homewood Mountain Resort is only 8 miles North, proving you can have seclusion and convenience.

This home is not in South Lake Tahoe. On a summer day, it may take a 30 minute drive, but renters should note that in winter months, the highway between this home and South Lake Tahoe often closes.

POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES:
1. Maximum Occupancy is 8 adults, excluding children under six (6) years of age. Sleeping Arrangements for 10.
2. Parking for 3 vehicles. Street parking is prohibited year-round.
3. Notice to Boaters - Unfortunately Tahoe Getaways is unable to provide watercraft of any kind to our guests. TRPA requires boat inspection/certification and a clean boating certification sticker must be procured. Boaters must provide their own mooring lines. While this home has a private pier (shared with a neighbor); renters are advised to use the HOA pier (a quick walk along the shoreline) for watercraft loading/unloading.
4. A guest house sits on the property. Access is not available to renters, nor will it be occupied during your stay.
5. Please note: A 20% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due 60 days prior to arrival, at which point the reservation becomes fully non-refundable.
6. The use of ANY outdoor firepit or outdoor fireplaces is strictly prohibited at all our rental properties. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping to keep our community safe from wildfires.
7. During drought years, the pier may be too shallow to navigate for some boats. Water levels will vary depending on amount of snowpack.

El Dorado County Regulations:
1. Quiet hours must be observed between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
2. Occupancy is limited between 10 PM and 8 AM.
3. Maximum occupancy is enforced at all times.
4. Any violations may result in a fine.

The best aspect of this house is the view. It’s right on the water with wonderful morning (and rising sun) views. The only downside for our group was its distance from an actual grocery store (Safeway - as opposed to the more limited market) or restaurants. But that downside for some in our group depends on what you’re after and what you prize more: because it’s a little more isolated, it was very quiet and peaceful. As far as the house itself, it’s a little dated (the bathrooms are carpeted) but clean. There were several reviews we saw that said beach towels, soap, etc were not provided. That wasn’t the case for us as we were happy to find beach towels, dish soap, hand soap, dishwasher pods, paper products, etc. provided. We also didn’t have any negative encounters with the neighbors as suggested by some reviews. We did use the dock to load our group on a boat and drop them off but didn’t utilize the mooring provided since we didn’t have the boat overnight. The HOA dock is very nice.

Lockbox to get key was a little difficult to open, however we were able to reach someone by phone immediately to assist. Kitchen well equipped. Fridge on way out, not cooling.

We had a great time and would look forward to staying again. The location is ideal and as depicted in the listing—beautiful lakeshore venue. The home in terms of set up is also great, with a large open floor plan for the kitchen, dinning and living area. The managers were very easy to reach and very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. The only drawback is that in terms of items in the home, the home is run on an absolute shoestring. For example, it is a lakefront home with a beach, but no beach towels are provided. When we called the managers they confirmed that they made a decision to leave the house empty of beach towels. There is only one small towel in each bathroom. The bedside tables have no bedside lamps—in any of the bedrooms. There is a fully equipped kitchen, without any pepper, salt or basic supplies. We ‘fixed’ all of this and the many other unexpected supply shortages with a trip to the store, but it was a surprise. A wonderful house and location, professionally managed, but be prepared to buy or bring anything and everything that you may need while staying there.

The house was in a great location. House was dirty, windows dirty filled with cob webs, outdoor bbq was dirty we couldn't get it to work, cobwebs hanging from indoor fireplace. Downstairs bedroom carpet was really dirty. We were surprised that the house and windows were so dirty since the view was the top reason we picked this house. Also it would of been nice to not have to rent beach chairs and umbrellas. Great if they provided at least 1 kayak or paddle board. The neighbors to the left looking out were very protective of the pier. House is was great but could use some updating in decorations . I took pictures of windows, cobwebs bbq and carpet please let me know if you would like to see how bad the mentioned items were . Washing machine off balance bad
