A quick one-minute drive, or five-minute walk, will take you to Sandy Beach, a beautiful small beach located through the trees.

In both places, you will find sandy beaches, farmers markets and major grocery stores, golf courses, small boutique shopping, waterfront parks, golf courses, weekly concerts in the summer, and a wide variety of bars and restaurants.

Had an amazing time in Kings Beach, I don’t think you can find a better place in the area. Comfortable, clean, and plenty of amenities. Amazing view from the balcony too. Absolutely recommend staying here!

My family and I had a very pleasant stay at LocalVR Tahoe’s home. The host was informative, responsive, and friendly. The home itself had a cozy cabin vibe and had all the amenities like reliable wi-fi, fully equipped kitchen, a fireplace, and comfortable beds. It was walking distance from Atagam Beach and a short drive away from town. Thank you, LocalVR!

Love this place! We can’t wait to stay again. Photos and descriptions are accurate. Comfortable beds and furniture. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck with morning coffee. There was a great steakhouse right across the road.
