About this property

4 BR Lakefront Home Perfect for Beach and Wine Holidays. Skaha Beach-100 steps!

Our lovely 4 bedroom home faces directly on to Skaha Park and Beach. For some reason the VRBO map says it is a 7 minute walk to the beach but it's more like 7 seconds to the park and 30 seconds to the beach!

We have a formal dining and living room, a family room with a 55" smart UHD 4K TV (Netflix), and a kids games room with a 42"TV and pool table. There are also two pullout couches in the games room. There are four bedrooms: three are standard sized bedrooms with queen beds. The master bedroom will provide someone with a lovely oasis. It is so large that it feels a bit like a self-contained apartment with a king sized bed, a 42" TV, and a two comfy chairs. Guests love the walk in river rock shower in the master bedroom en-suite.

In addition to the master en-suite , there are two more bathrooms, both of which are newly renovated, one with a shower and the other with a shower and bathtub.

All four bedrooms have air conditioning. We do not have central air conditioning on the main floor. We do have many fans and the lower floor of the house generally remains pleasantly cool.

A large two car garage provides ample room for storing bikes, golf clubs or other recreational equipment. Although our sons have grown and moved away, we have kept many children's books and games (and games for adults). We also have four kayaks that guests are welcome to use as well as a variety of sports equipment

The private backyard is fully fenced and gated with a large deck and BBQ area as well as a new 2020 Coast Spas six person hot tub.

Twenty steps from our front door, you will find Skaha Park, which features the following amenities: sandy beach, concessions and ice cream, a marina, water-spray park, tennis courts and volleyball courts, softball diamond, two playgrounds, and an outdoor in-line hockey rink. The nearest neighborhood pub is a five minute walk.

The Bluffs, a world class rock climbing/hiking destination is less than a ten minute drive from our home. Many people prefer the Skaha Lake (south) end of Penticton. There are many recreational opportunities but because there are fewer motels, it is much quieter at night.

It is also perfect for a long ski weekend ( it is a 35 minute drive from our driveway to the Apex parking lot) or as a base for touring the dozens and dozens of close by wineries. There is not a better location for a family vacation in Penticton.

This is not a rental property - this is our family home that we share a few times each year with other families that will enjoy and respect our home.

Wow Skaha!
Lovely home that the hosts shared with us. The location across the street from the beach was awesome. The backyard is a lovely oasis that is quiet and the birds singing added to the enjoyment. Would recommend this place to everyone. The hosts were lovely and easy to contact.

Wonderful Lakeside Home
This is a special vacation property. Directly across from Skaha Park and Beach it makes a wonderful spot for a family or friends gathering. My husband and I were doing Ironman and it couldn't have been more perfect. Close to Eastside Road for cycling and across from the lake for practise swim's. Plus there's a garage for your bikes and a hot tub in backyard. Rick and Karen are wonderful hosts.

Home away from home...
It was serendipitous to have found Rick and Karen's home available for rent during the week we were looking for. With the beach right across the street, ice cream around the corner, kayaks for personal use, a ping pong and billiard table for evening tournaments, spacious air conditioned rooms, and a hot tub for relaxing - the listing was as described and truly exceeded our expectations! This was a much needed post-pandemic family vacation, thoroughly enjoyed by our group of 7. And we were fortunate enough to meet Rick on our last day, which made for a comforting end to our vacation. You will truly feel at-home-away-from-home. Thank you, Rick and Karen, for opening your home to us!
