The Sunnyside-Tahoe City area on the lake's West Shore has about 1,600 people in roughly 670 households at about 7,000 feet, in Placer County, California. About 30 percent of households rent, and part-time owners outnumber year-round residents. ## Two out of three homes are part-time The Census estimate of 66.2 percent seasonal units is among the highest in the Lake Tahoe area. In a community like that, furniture comes and goes with owners and renters, and a home that closes for months needs a plan for what stays inside. Storage lets an owner clear a house for rental, listing, repair or a long absence. ## Why the West Shore matters Tahoe City is the hub of the West Shore, and the drive from the warehouse is about 52 miles and 71 minutes. The route passes through mountain terrain, so the crew plans extra time. In winter, chain controls and closures show on Caltrans QuickMap. Spring and fall are easier for large moves, and the [spring guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-at-lake-tahoe-in-spring/) and [summer guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-at-lake-tahoe-in-summer/) cover those seasons. ## Rental homes and turnover A short-term rental owner refreshes furniture and replaces worn pieces on a schedule. The outgoing pieces need somewhere to wait for resale or donation. Vaults hold them in the warehouse until the owner decides. ## Vault terms Each wooden vault is 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft. Vault storage starts at $40 per month, and stored goods ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice. ## Questions for the estimator - How steep is the driveway? - How many stairs lead to the door? - How long will the goods be stored? - Where do they go next? ## Free estimate and boxes The in-home estimate is free and includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes. See [seasonal and second-home storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/seasonal-and-second-home-storage/). ## Preparing a house that closes for months A house on the West Shore may be empty from October until June. Before it closes, owners often put the pieces most sensitive to cold and damp into storage and leave the rest. The crew lists everything on an inventory, so a vault opened months later holds no surprises. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html) - [Caltrans QuickMap road conditions](https://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/) - [Tahoe Regional Planning Agency](https://www.trpa.gov/) ### Vault storage in Sparks Wooden vaults, 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft each, in our 30,000 sq ft warehouse.

We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future. ### Owner's reply Francie, Thank you for this amazing review.
