Spacious, unique, comfortable

Dustin was very accommodating and we loved the place. He let us check in early and check out late as we had some logistical challenges. We have stayed here twice now and really enjoyed it.

Cool place!

Great rental, well represented in the listing. It's just as cool as the pictures show. My dog loved the huge yard, and there are many dirt roads above the house to walk or bike. Close to town to walk but best if you have a car if transporting gear to kite. The beds are really comfortable as are the linens. It's a quiet neighborhood away from the road. A/C in the bedroom worked really well! Kitchen has basic utensils, and definitely enough to cook - Gas stove, micro, Ninja, coffee pot. Beautiful views from the deck. The property manager was easy to reach by phone and was very helpful, responsive and spoke English.

About the host

Hosted by Dustin Huff

I am a family man who works hard and needs a vacation. Sometimes I bring my kids :) I grew up in Tahoe and moved away several times but always came back. I met my wife when I was 20 but it took 14 years to convince her to marry me. We have two amazing kids who are now being raised in Tahoe but get to live in Mexico too. One day they will know how lucky they are.

Why they chose this property

My 2 friends, Aaron, Joe and I bought this property so we can own a slice of the Sea of Cortez. We bring our families down when the snow is to deep in Tahoe and we need some sun and surf. The house is on a fenced acre and in the perfect area for a quiet getaway but if you want drinks and food then its a short walk to great restaurants.

What makes this property unique

We built this house with shipping containers for several reasons. One being it's economical and another environmental. But honestly, the first reason was we needed storage for our toys. We bought the land and would sleep in a tent while we were here. We bought a shipping container to put our kite boarding gear, kayaks and fishing poles in. One of us thought it might make for a good house too. House sits on a fenced acre and has beautiful landscaping. Tall Palapa roof and sliding glass doors makes living room and kitchen spacious and cool. Front deck and living room are seamless. The two Container bedrooms are quiet, separate from the living area but still connected. Perfect for two couples or family with older children.
