We had such a great time. House was stocked with everything we needed. There were bears, so having the ability to park the car in the garage was so nice. We loved the beach and location. Clean and cozy.
Just love this property. We’ve stayed before and it’s right across the circle from our relatives cabin, so we can all get together for Thanksgiving. Great place.

Cute house with great location and access to private beach!
This spot was just perfect for our weekend ski trip to Homewood. Really appreciated the garage because we got 10” of snow and loved that the driveway is plowed for you. Very homey and functional.

Good value for money
Great location with a reasonable price. Only 3 min from homewood resorts and 10min from Tahoe city, you do get a great, cozy cabin! Check-in was a bit difficult because the Google maps address doesn't bring you to the garage, which actually is not on the street listed.
We had a great stay! Here are a few things to note:
I prefer a lockbox on the property to obtain the keys; this one required us to drive 40 minutes round trip out of the way to get the keys. The rental company personnel were super nice and helpful.
The house was pretty clean and had some of the items we’ve come to expect in our VRBO rentals.
The neighborhood was wonderfully quiet and very beautiful.
Endearing old style tahoe cabin. Not fancy but functional and super close to Homewood ski. Bring your own pillows! Would be really awesome if beds, pillows and linens were upgraded.LOVED having a garage! I can imagine this place is even better in summer since so close to lake.

Over all I had a pleasant experience. However there were some bugs (roaches I think) and a mouse. I notified West Lake immediately.The home is well stocked, deck work had been preformed since last year and two new deck chairs had been acquired.One thought, there should be 4 deck chairs. Also, get rid of the picnic table.
Overall a great experience. The place is older, but well-maintained. Downstairs, the couches are comfortable, the dining room table if a good size (6 fit easily), and the layout is good for everyone being together. Upstairs, things are generally fine, but one of the beds made a bit of noise every time someone moved. Great wrap-around deck with ample seating.Check-in and check-out are via lock-box, so very easy. Clean up procedures were very simple (start the dishwasher, take out the trash).Great location. Easy drive to Emerald Bay and Truckee. About a half mile walk to a small market. Minute walk to a private beach. Great neighborhood overall.Communication with management company was pretty good. One email did go unanswered during our stay, but it ended up not being a big deal. This was during Memorial Day, so it's understandable they were extra busy.

Loved the deck and enjoyed having shade all day. There was a nice view of the Lake. Interior was everything I needed. It was a little noisy for me as I could hear Hwy 89 traffic. Pull down shades need to be upgraded. House needs bear wires as I had a visit from Smokey at the kitchen window in board daylight. Front and back doors need an upgrade with double paned windows. House should have been cleaner.

This is our second visit to the Chalet on Moana Circle. It's an old Tahoe cabin with a pretty updated inside. You can walk to a pier and watch the night sky or sit in the quiet of the morning with your coffee while the lake laps at the shore. The walk to the water is a huge perk for us. The cabin is wrapped by an enormous desk and has been updated enough to feel light and bright inside with places to sit and eat, relax, sleep and cook.We are in Tahoe for a nature experience to hike, generally. Westshore is a more peaceful spot. We love being 5 minutes from Sugar Pine Point State Park, Desolation Wilderness and easy access to Granite Chief Wilderness. We cooked and ate out - both were easy, but most of all this is a beautiful spot to come home after a long day of hiking and continue to enjoy the beauty of being in the mountains. We will always stay here.Bathrooms are small. This isn't a luxury property in that way, but they have everything you need.

A great stay in a great location!
A 15 min drive to Palisades. The property was a wonderful halfway house for us. The stocked fire wood and cozy cabin vibe made sleeping next to the large main room fireplace a true joy. This house has all the necessary items to be be a comfortable home away from home. Size of water heater is unknown but the property could benefit from a tankless water heater upgrade.
The property was very clean. The managers were extremely responsive. Convenient proximity to west shore destinations.

This is a fantastic property and we will look to return. The location is great, steps away from a private beach and pier. The house is small, but has a great deck and outdoor area. The house would be much more comfortable if the bed in the master was upgraded.Also, a TV in the main room would make things more enjoyable.
The Moana Chalet is ideally located on the West Shore. The HOA has a private beach and pier to enjoy. It happens to be a stones throw away from Chambers Landing. You can cook meals in or you can choose from
many nearby restaurants if you want to relax instead. I would rent here again!
