Stillwater Cove Condominiums

Crystal Bay's Premier Lakefront Luxury Community

Stillwater Cove is widely regarded as Crystal Bay's most prestigious address. This gated lakefront condominium complex sits directly on the shores of Lake Tahoe, offering residents a lifestyle that blends resort-level amenities with the privacy of an exclusive residential community.

The complex features full-time security, ensuring privacy and peace of mind. Residents enjoy access to a private restaurant, a marina with individual boat slips, a private sandy beach, tennis courts, a heated swimming pool, and underground parking. Units range from spacious two-bedroom layouts to expansive penthouses with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the lake.

Why Stillwater Cove Stands Out

Unlike standalone homes that require individual maintenance, Stillwater Cove's HOA handles exterior upkeep, landscaping, snow removal, and security. This makes it an ideal choice for second-home owners who want a turnkey Lake Tahoe retreat. The private marina is particularly valuable, as lakefront boat slips in Tahoe are extremely limited and highly coveted.

Location Advantage

Stillwater Cove sits between the Crystal Bay Casino area and Incline Village, giving residents easy access to both communities. Kings Beach shops and restaurants are a short drive across the state line, while Incline Village's private beaches, Diamond Peak ski resort, and golf courses are minutes away. Reno-Tahoe International Airport is approximately 40 minutes.

Investment Considerations

Stillwater Cove units hold their value exceptionally well due to limited supply (the complex has a fixed number of units) and the irreplaceable lakefront location. As part of Washoe County, owners benefit from Nevada's zero state income tax. HOA dues cover extensive amenities but should be factored into investment calculations.

STR Viability: Moderate

Stillwater Cove's HOA has specific rules regarding short-term rentals that prospective investors should review carefully. While Washoe County permits STRs, individual HOAs can impose additional restrictions on rental frequency and minimum stay requirements. Contact us for current HOA rental policies before purchasing with STR intent.
