Tahoe Edgelake Beach Club

Love Tahoe and the location of this property, BUT had a bad experience. I booked a room for 2 nights, but then 15 minutes later, realized I made a mistake and couldn’t stay the first night. I still got charged for 2 nights, even though I cancelled the room 15 minutes after reserving it. Really? That SUCKS.

Exchanged into this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit via SFX, during my son’s spring break. Right on the lake, which is unfortunately low because of the drought. And not enough snow to make it worthwhile for us to bring our skis up to nearby Northstar and Incline. However, Tahoe is still gorgeous, and an easy trip from our home. We’re in unit #9, upstairs (no elevator) with view of the lake and pool area (hot tub, gas grills, and clean pool). High vaulted ceiling with bright warm sunshine streaming in the clerestory windows above the large picture windows. small deck at entry overlooking same view. River rock floor to ceiling gas fireplace. Fairly large screen tv mounted on wall with DVD player, and comfortable couches. No problem with the unsecured wifi. Open well-​equipped kitchen with large dining table. 1 bathroom with tub/​shower attached to master bedroom, which is same size as 2^nd bedroom, with guest bathroom with shower.
Compared to the Westin or Mayan Palace, this place is not fancy. However, it is clean, neat, and comfortable, and because of the location, I put it up a star from 3 stars.

We have been staying at Edgelake for well over 20 years and we absolutely LOVE IT. The office staff, groundskeeper, house cleaning staff and overall hospitality is always warm and wonderful! My family and I love the private beach access, the walk out pier to the lake, pool, jaccuzzi and playground for the kiddos. We love being able to bbq right near the pool and there are more than enough bbq pits. We are withing walking distance to Safeway, Starbucks and Lanza’s Italian restaurant. This year we booked room #30 and it is amazing. The view is spectacular, being that we are on the corner building and is very spacious. We have more than enough space to relax and entertain. Oh and one more thing. When we arrived yesterday, I noticed the door to one of the showers was loose and the staff sent someone over immediately and had it replaced in about 10 mins. Keep up the great work and we looked forward to coming back every year!

We have been coming here for well over ten years. Things get upgraded and painted. There is plenty of kitchen items needed to cook regular meals. The pool is plenty big with lots of seating. There are barbecues, at least 6 large ones! Grassy area with picnic tables to make outside eating a real family treat! The lake is right there with a long pier and benches to relax on and watch the sun set or rise. Sand that is raked daily and lounge chairs to lay on while the kids enjoy playing in the lake. There is a rec room with several exercise machines, a TV, pool table, and seats. A restroom located inside the rec room, also. There is laundry facilities for use. Your linen is changed once a week, more if you want for small fee. Monday through Thursday has an activity for young and old to participate in.
This place is very family oriented… it has friendly staff and is kept so clean! We have had valuable family fun! Yes, Edgelake rocks!!!

We have been going there almost every year for the last twenty-​five years. We love that it is right on the beach and we can walk to the grocery store. The kids love the beach and the pool and the hot tub. If we ever have a problem with anything, they fix it right away. I highly recommend it.

We have been coming here for 15 years and overall are quite happy with Edgelake Beach Club. When we arrive, everything is well arranged, neat and clean. I have to say during this whole time period that we have been coming, only once was the hot tub out of commission. Not bad for 15 years. We have always felt very safe and secure with the personalized door codes to get into our units. Someone mentioned that the kitchen wasn’t supplied very well for a family of 4. We have never had a problem. The kitchen is supplied with 8 dishes, glasses, juice glasses, 8 of forks, knives etc. etc. Plenty of pots and pans etc. If you use all that, you need to run the dishwasher anyway! Plenty of beach towels. Have to agree though – could use new bath towels, pillows AND living room furniture. (was a SHOCK to sink so low in the chair!). Charged every day for electricity??? I don’t think so! Think about it — how could they even do that? wifi can be slow at times. Oh and all you have to do is ask for the password… just saying. We’ve never had a problem hearing people next door — BUT, sometimes we can hear people in the units above us walking (thumping) around. OMG, sounds like they have cement shoes! And yes, we once stayed in the 2 floor unit — -they definitely need window coverings, not JUST for the sun in the morning, but to help keep the bedroom cool — it was SO hot up there that we had to sleep on the living room pull out sofa. Grounds are always kept nicely.

Very satisfied with my stay here. The only problem I had was with the WiFi, as it was very slow during the day and less slow but still pretty slow in the evening. The reviews say that the beds were worn out, but the room I was staying in had new mattresses that felt incredible on my back. The shower wasn’t very good and did not have a lot of pressure. The hot tub had sand in it so it needed to be cleaned out. The gas fireplace was very nice, downstairs was always warm. I had a two floor room and the bedrooms did not have blinds on the second tier windows so when the sun rose, at 6:30 the sun was directly on the bed waking you up.

pros: Every room has TV, the rooms are big, easy parking, safe way groceries within walking distance, full kitchen almost everything we needed.
cons: Extra charge per day for electricity, TV remote control has no battery, office is closed around 6pm and so if you have any problem will have to wait until morning, pillows are worn out and towels are worn out. WiFi has no password and super slow probably someone doing big upload or download during my stay, and so I had to use my air-​card to access internet. The jacuzzi is not so great because it doesn’t have full power and can’t really feel much massage on the back. We came to the gym and game room around 6pm and it was locked, and the pool is closed.
I would not come back again !!!

Hubby and I wanted to get away the weekend before valentines day so we booked here. We arrived at 2 pm check in wasn’t untill 4pm so they gave us a key to the gym/​game room. We were able to play pool and relax on the beach until check in. It was such a treat to get away. The other guest were so friendly along with the staff I felt like I was in community not a hotel!

I typically look for the best in situations. That said, it was hard to find much good about this place.
Good: Wi-​fi was great; gas fireplace was nice; resort is family friendly with a playground and plenty of sand for children to enjoy; location with access to beach.
Bad: Locks/​handles were very loose and we didn’t feel secure; very cheap paper products; beds and pillows were all very much worn out; walls so thin we could make out conversations of our neighbors; very limited kitchen wares for a family of 4; exercise room featured mostly broken equipment.
Ugly: Pool was broken most of the visit and murky; dishwasher didn’t work well — all dishes had to be scrubbed clean before using dishwasher; mid-​week housekeeping put stinky sheets on our bed; dead mouse was out near the beach recliners; couch and chair in need of replacing.
In the end, we left a day early, anxious to be done with this place.

We stayed here thinking that this time of the year it would be warm. It was cold, considering it snowed the day before we got there. Location is good. The resort itself is very small but cozy. They were tearing up the pool when we were there, getting it ready for the summer crowd. Nice access to private beach. We stayed in a two bedroom unit and the unit was very small in comparison to others we have stayed at. My only complaint is that the furniture in the living area is in desperate need of change. The couch and chair sink to the floor when you sit in them. Not comfortable at all. If they were, I would have given them a better rating. Will go back again.
