Waterfront Oasis w/Kayaks, Fire Pit & Game Room | Maison dans Sparks

Welcome home to our waterfront home on the Sparks Marina canal with private dock and free kayaks! Unwind on the patio with a fire pit, BBQ, outdoor dining, and sunset views. Inside, enjoy a game room, cozy fireplace, smart TVs, and a gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances. The master suite features a jetted tub, dual steam shower, and private balcony. Walk to parks, trails, shopping, dining, and the marina beach—just minutes from Reno. Perfect for families, groups, and unforgettable getaways.
Tucked along a quiet canal that winds through the heart of Sparks Marina, our waterfront home offers more than just a place to stay—it offers a feeling. The kind you get when you step out onto the patio in the morning and hear the soft sound of water, when you catch the golden light dancing off the canal at dusk, or when you gather around the fire pit with people you love and a cool drink in hand.
The moment you walk through the front door, the space welcomes you with a sense of calm and ease. It’s open and airy, with thoughtful touches around every corner. The kitchen—spacious and fully stocked—feels like the heart of the home. Granite countertops, a gas range, and high-end appliances set the scene for everything from casual breakfasts to dinner feasts, with a large dining table just steps away, ready for laughter, stories, and shared meals.
The living room invites you to unwind. A soft leather sectional wraps around the fireplace, just begging for movie nights, naps, or late-night conversations. A smart TV with all your favorite streaming services is ready for entertainment, but more often than not, you may find yourself just enjoying the warmth of the fireplace and the view through the back windows.
Downstairs also features a game room where friendly competition sparks over a game of foosball or a round of old-school board games. A half bath nearby adds convenience, and the two-car garage (plus driveway) makes arriving and coming and going as easy as can be.
But the real charm begins when you step out back. The patio overlooks a calm canal that feels like your own private slice of the marina. There's a fire pit for chilly evenings, a BBQ for easy outdoor meals, and a dining table perfect for sunset dinners. From here, a private dock leads you right to the water—and yes, kayaks are waiting for you. Paddle out at sunrise, drift through the canals like you’re in your own little version of the Tahoe Keys or Venice, or simply sit dockside with your morning coffee and watch the light shift across the water.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful hideaway. A king bed, walk-in closet, and French doors open to a private balcony overlooking the harbor—one of the best spots in the house for quiet mornings or evening wine. The ensuite bathroom feels spa-like, with a jetted tub, dual vanities, and a large walk-in steam shower with dual shower heads that melt the day away.
The second bedroom, set up with two trundle beds, is perfect for kids or groups, offering four full-size beds in total. Down the hall, you'll find three more guest rooms—each with their own personality and cozy charm. One has a full bed, another has a full bed and TV, and the last features a queen bed with a mounted streaming-ready TV. A full hallway bathroom with dual sinks and a tub/shower combo makes it easy for everyone to get ready, and the full laundry room with washer, dryer, and utility sink helps you pack light and stay fresh.
The neighborhood itself adds to the experience. Sparks Marina is peaceful and walkable, with trails that circle the lake, opportunities for boating and swimming, and stunning views of the Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance. You’re just minutes from local restaurants, shops, an IMAX theater, and Wild Island Waterpark—but it’s just as easy to spend your whole day paddling, reading on the balcony, or strolling along the shore.
This is the kind of place where memories are made—where the days feel full, the nights feel relaxed, and everything you need to slow down and enjoy is right at your fingertips. We’ve designed this home to offer comfort, warmth, and a touch of that vacation magic, and we’d love for you to experience it.
During your stay, you'll have access to the entire house, garage, and back patio area with a private dock.
We also have two kayaks that will be included for free with the rental. Enjoy!
Our home is yours to use during your stay and you will not be disturbed, but our local team in Reno is just a phone call or message away if you ever need anything or have questions!
Nestled around the sparkling waters of Sparks Marina Park, this friendly neighborhood offers the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and small-town charm. Just steps from the home, you’ll find walking and biking trails winding around the 77-acre lake, a dog park for furry friends, and plenty of spots to relax by the water. Enjoy kayaking, boating, or fishing right in the marina, or take a leisurely stroll to nearby shops, restaurants, and entertainment like an IMAX theater and family-friendly waterpark. With beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada mountains and easy access to downtown Reno, Sparks Marina is a peaceful yet vibrant spot where every day feels like a getaway.
