First of all the location of the property is desirable. It is close to the lake (walking distance), and access to the walking/biking path. You are only a few minutes drive to grocery store , main avenue, and Starbucks. However, in the Covid-19 era, unless you have a beach access pass (reserved for residents), you will not have access to any of the three private Incline beaches. My property manager did make me aware of this in advance of my arrival, and I was fortunate to have friends that loaned us beach passes. I did notice that a number of other properties will include a beach pass as a part of their rental..
As for the property itself, there are some opportunities for improvement to be sure. Furniture, bedding, towels are very outdated and have reached their end life. Carpet is spotted and worn, and the blinds should be replaced as many of them are not easy to operate. Bathrooms are outdated as well. Sinks downstairs are slow to drain, and showers are set very low so anyone that stands over 5’8 will be bending down to wash their hair. Bedrooms are downstairs from main floor and unfortunately you will hear every step upstairs. This is disappointing if you are an early to bed type of person, or if you happen to be in a house with early risers. Upstairs floors are very soft and every step is amplified downstairs. Window blinds are bent and some do not even have draw strings. The deck is nice to have, but you are in very close proximity of neighbors (shared partition) and can hear their conversations, or in our case, smell their cigarette smoke.
As far as amenities, when we arrived for our week stay, there was limited papertowels and dishwasher soap. If you want a bath towel (poor quality) refreshed at all, you will need to do load of laundry as there is only one set per person. They have plenty of pillows, but not enough pillow cases if you want o use. The silverware did not include any sharp knives, can opener or blender (we like margaritas). Fortunately when I communicated with Prop Manager she had them dropped off later that day. No broom for sweeping, up, and the BBQ looked as though it had not been cleaned for a while. The fluorescent light in kitchen blinked off and on during our stay and was somewhat annoying when standing in the kitchen.
As I mentioned the location is very optimal, and I do think with some TLC this could be a more desirable property for future stays
