Camp STAR-Lite: Walk to Beach! Free Kayak- Pets Ok
"Camp STAR-Lite"
National Park themed, bright and sunny, south facing, one-bedroom, front unit of ranch-style duplex in easy downtown location in walking distance to the beach!
The furnishings are a mix of vintage and new and give the space a homey and cozy vibe. Plush velvety throw pillows and a deep comfortable couch, smart TV for streaming with yours or use of the host's streaming apps, and a gas fireplace for warming up on colder nights come together for a memorable experience.
This unit features beautiful vinyl throughout and fresh paint and art pieces. In the kitchen, timeless white appliances, stylish Herringbone butcher-block countertops and pearlescent Subway tile backsplash brighten up the full kitchen that’s well-stocked with Fiestaware dishes, copper touches, pots and pans and an assortment of essential gadgets for your cooking pleasure!
The private bedroom has a Queen bed. This is a platform bed with a 12" deep, medium plush, gel memory mattress.
The sideboard cabinent under the television in the living room converts to a Queen Murphy bed for a 2nd sleeping space. This new bed has a 6" Gel/Foam mattress and is fairly easy to set up. Bedding will be provided automatically for groups of 3 or 4 and can be requested for smaller groups.
There is also a dedicated workspace in the bedroom for those who need to tuck themselves away while working remotely.
The bathroom is complete with heated flooring, Herringbone glass subway tiles that tie into the same patterns found in the kitchen and a deep bathtub with Kohler fixtures for soaking.
In the summer, there’s also a private patio with teak bistro set up for 2 guests to enjoy coffee or to dine al fresco, a couple of Kayaks with carts and beach gear and a lazy hammock.
The hosted home is located walking distance to Kings Beach State Park and it's sandy beach, pier, playground and parkinh area (7-minute walk or 2 minutes by car). Kings beach is a buzzing and lively neighborhood that's mostly flat and very walkable. It's also under a mile to the nearest casinos and nightlife and less than 7 miles to Northstar, the closest ski resort or downhill biking adventure. The neighborhood is a mix of older homes, newer builds and a few trailer parks but, is very safe and in easy proximity to everything the area has to offer.

This place was wonderful. It was comfortable, clean and met all of our needs for a romantic weekend. If we would have wanted to explore the lake, everything we would have needed was available. Stephanie was a excellent hostess. We would definitely come back.
Close to an abundance of North Shore Tahoe activities and restaurants. Quiet, very clean and well provisioned for all your needs/comfort. Made for a great time in Tahoe.
Stephanie was a great host and the property was very clean and comfortable. There were nice little extras that were provided that made the stay even better. I recommend this as a very good experience.
Had a wonderful, peaceful stay. Stephanie was a terrific host who communicated very well. The rental was clean with plenty of amenities and only a 7 minute walk to King’s Beach! Excellent place if you seek laid-back.

The home is wonderfully decorated and appointed with everything you need. The location is very walkable and of course the area is beautiful! The host is incredibly responsive and helpful.
We had a wonderful, week long stay! The space was dog friendly and walkable to everything. We enjoyed walking to the beach, not having to deal with the hassle of parking. Would stay here again!
We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin in Kings Beach! The property was charming and we appreciated all the thoughtful details and amenities especially in the well-equipped kitchen. From the moment we walked in, we just felt relaxed and comfortable :) The goodie bags for BOTH of my dogs was such a nice and sweet touch. It was the perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway. Thank you Stephanie and Duane for allowing us to stay in your amazing home.
Every corner of this house had character and charm. Yet it was the additional details that made it memorable. Thanks to there generous offer of the kayak, i finally got to go on the lake. The host really went all out to not just provide a warm cozy space, but also experience. As for the amenities, it first time a place has given me optional pillow firmness. Another over the top yet overly appreciated gesture. I've been to tahoe before yet it seems i got to really experience it. I usually stay by the ski resorts on otherside of the lake. This was a serene and pleasant atmosphere compared to the otherside. Less hustle and bustle of the crowd. More scenic and overall charm. Thank you for an amazing stay.
Stephanie and Duane were great hosts! Friendly, helpful, and communicative. The cottage was comfortable and we were able to walk to the beach and restaurants. The kayaks were great, too!

We had a very nice stay here! Their attention to detail was great. Very clean, very cozy. Full kitchen and best of all walking distance to the beach and places to eat. Plan to go back again.
The house was so adorable and it was spotless. I have stayed in some sketchy places at Tahoe but Stephanie and Duane have gone out of their way to make this little gem so comfortable and it met every need. It was quiet and comfortable. I also loved that they let my dog stay.
This spot is such a great place to stay in North Tahoe. It is walkable to the beach, shops, restaurants, and activities. It’s quiet and safe. My favorite thing about it is how it’s decorated. I’m a big National Parks lover, and this place has tons of parks featured in its decor. It’s so cozy and really well designed and laid out. My husband and I stayed with our infant daughter and loved it. Additionally, Stephanie and Duane were amazing hosts. They were communicative, kind, helpful, and accessible. I cannot recommend this place enough!

The home was exactly as described and definitely met our expectations. It was exceptionally clean and was well-stocked with all the amenities we needed for the week. Everything was well-organized and labeled with detailed instructions to make our stay pleasant. The location is a short walk to the cute downtown Kings Beach area and beach, and it was just a short drive to Diamond Peak and Northstar ski resorts. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Tahoe!
Great Location Close to the Lake!Only a short walk to the beach, but down the street from a trailer park. The house was very clean, cozy and nicely decorated. Stephanie was a very friendly and responsive host!
I don’t know where to start. Our stay with Stephany and Duane felt more like we were crushing at our friends cabin. This is by far the most thoughtful rental i’ve ever been in to. I have stay at rentals that charged 5 for extra toilet paper before. When you text Stephany, she is very personable and very kind. She is very quick to answer, always offers help. We drove to Kings Beach from San Diego which took around 9 1/2 hours and walked into a snack bowl with a card welcoming us. The place was packed with items that were provided for us in case we forgot to pack something. Whole personal care items from toothbrush to cotton swabs, beach blankets, beach chairs, beverage flasks, cooler, face and body sunscreen, aleo cream for sunburns… I heeded pliers to change my guitar string and yes, they had it in a tool box. But mostly, they share theeir kayaks with you and that is a magical experience. I highly suggest everyone to have that experience. Stephany and Duane cares about their guest!!!We traveled all around the Lake Tahoe and our favorite town was Kings Beach. It’s big enough that you have everything around you but small enough to slow you down. Its about 7 blocks downtown with many local shops around. Closest supermarket is around 7-8 min walk or 2 min drive. Camp Star-Lite is in great location under the alpine trees at Kings Beach. Its2 blocks to the downtown, 3 blocks to the lake ramp (for kayaks), around 4 blocks to the beach. All accessible less than a 5 min walk.
