About This Home

As of September 2014

Tahoe comes to the beach! Echoing a style often seen in the mountains, this house instead gets to be a beach landing pad. Just four houses in from West Cliff Drive and a block and a half to Natural Bridges Beach - you can't beat the location. Take an evening stroll along the West Cliff Promenade and watch the sun set. Hop on your bike and be at the Swift St. Courtyard in minutes. It's a good life!
