    The Space:

    Just a 9-minute walk from the village on a quiet cul de sac rests this 3000 square foot Lakefront beauty featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 64 feet of water frontage, there is a 4th bedroom that it is getting permitted by the city of Big Bear Lake. The home features multiple entertaining areas, both indoor and out, a fully stocked kitchen and a game room. We welcome you to enjoy the sunrise from the private dock or relax in the evening in the wind-protected 7-seater hot tub. This home features 3 bedrooms with King beds, including the en suite Primary bedroom and a “Sunrise Bunk House” that sleeps an additional 7, designed with kids in mind. While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air. Amenities include a Ping Pong Table, pool table, 2 fireplaces, lighted boat dock, flat lot with a paver drive.



    In winter, Lakefront Chalet becomes a cozy mountain escape with light holiday décor throughout, including a tree, wreaths, and decorated mantles. After a day on the slopes or a walk into the village, relax in the hot tub overlooking the lake or gather around the gas fireplace indoors. Outside, enjoy the gas fire pit with s’more skewers available for classic mountain evenings. The flat lot and good afternoon sun exposure helps prevent excessive icing at the entrance during winter months. We also provide coffee and hot chocolate to start those cool Big Bear mornings!

Clean and comfortable lakefront

Exceptionally clean home, but pretty dated. A few things could use repairing, but overall good home. The master shower and trash receptacle in kitchen especially need a little TLC. Comfortable bedrooms for our whole family of 5 and 2 small dogs. Nice lakefront location, great fire pit in the back yard, very clean grill! Close to the village area and boating in the summer.

Beautiful lakeside home

We came with 3 families with children, this house was very spacious and comfortable for that size of a group. The check in was so easy and friendly, the dock behind the house allowed us to fish all weekend, which was so fun, but we could have also used it for a boat. There is one side of the backyard that doesn’t have a fence, which was a slight safety concern for the kids and dogs but the yard was still beautiful and peaceful. Everything else in the home was so lovely, the kitchen and living room were a great hub for our friends, I highly recommend the property.

Beautiful property on a cul de sac.

There is nothing bad about this property. The second you pull up and walk through the door it feels like coming home. All amenities were well thought out and easy to find. The ants (Its California so yes ants) were pretty much non existent. There is construction going on next door but we never heard them and the workers were courteous when seen. We really enjoyed our stay and I hope that we can enjoy this property again some time.

Good Bad and Ugly

GOOD- Spacious house well laid out, would accommodate larger group and not feel cramped. Good furniture nicely decorated. Outdoor space well laid out for different groups. (See bad for issues) Good location less than a mile from shops and restaurants. SoCal the property managers were very helpful with below issues and immediately reacted to them. BAD- Dog poop in yard. Ants in kitchen. Have to take your garbage to the dump. Can't be outside after 10pm due to noise ordinance. Amenities listed boat dock and fireplace, but boat dock closed, and city ordinance doesn't allow open flames. Also first day we noticed a lot of water in front yard turned out they had a pipe break so they turned off water first day and then worked for 2 more days. AND NO hot water the first day and only warm for the next two days. UGLY- Original post did not say anything about construction next door. Website updated to say construction M-Sat 8am to 6pm. We got lucky and they weren't working but it did impact the view and the site was a mess! The outdoor eating area looked directly onto wood and tarps everywhere. (See pics)

It actually could be worser

First of all, thank you SoCalVacations for making our vacation more pleasant. As a management company, you provided a clean, well-equipped, and organized house. Without the two air conditioning units you brought on the second day, we would probably have returned home immediately. While they were not enough to cool the house to comfortable temperatures, at least we avoided indoor temperatures that were unfit for human habitation. This is our sixth year using the VRBO platform, and we always select the AC filter. How the house became air-conditioning-free three months after booking remains a mystery. The house's insulation does not block heat, trapping us in an overheated environment. We understand that the homeowner may not wish to repair or replace the two air conditioning units in the yard for financial reasons, operating on a trial-and-error basis. It is the responsibility of the homeowner/management company not to rent out a residential property that is unsuitable for use during hot months. Additionally, the nearby construction site was entirely uncovered. This was supposed to be a relaxing vacation, but instead, we were woken up every morning at six by the drilling and noise of workers standing near our windows. Needless to say, it was impossible to sleep and rest under these conditions. We paid a significant amount for a peaceful vacation by the lake and received something entirely different. We would have expected to be informed about the active c
