Lake Condo- Right on the Water with a Dock! Bring a boat or rent a boat!

* Flooring has been updated! New hard floors
in some photos. Carpet is gone, more pictures coming soon.

Wanting to wake just a couple feet from the water with the best view of the lake? My one bedroom lake condo is just that as there is no rental on the lake closer to the water.
Great for couples and small families- Bedroom has a comfortable king bed and queen size double stacked air mattress that self-inflates. The lake condo has all amenities of a home as well as a shared spacious patio with plenty of seating and a 300 foot dock for your use!

Garage space for storage if needed

Included- Fresh sheets and blankets on all beds as well as extra sheets in closet for air mattress. Plates, silverware, glassware, toaster, coffee maker, Keurig, outdoor grill, & beach towels.

The condo dock is a local fisherman favorite! Referred to by locals as the "dollar dock" for the past 70 years. People pay $3 to fish on the dock during the summer but it is free to condo guests. There are also 22 boat hoists on the dock so there is a fair amount of traffic around the condos all summer!

For days spent inside, there is a record player with many classics, cards, board games, janga, books, Amazon fire stick with all major streaming app’s, and access to my YouTube TV account with over 80 channels.

Also for your use is an assortment of games kept in the garage which include can jam, pickle ball, tennis, basketball, connect 4, bounce battle, and frisbee golf. Some can be played on the property and you are welcome to take games to the park 4 blocks up the street!


————————

Parking for one vehicle in the driveway. There is plenty of room for extra vehicles and boat trailers along the street just across the road from the condo.

Bring your bicycles, kayaks, etc. and keep them in the garage if you'd like.

You can tie up to and use the dock but if you plan to tie up your boat overnight, please talk to me ahead of time. Swimming from the dock is okay as I do have a ladder, but City Beach and State Beach are much better options to enjoy the water.

—————————


When you first arrive to the condo you will use a digital key code to get in to the building, head down one flight of stairs, and use another key code to get in to the condo.Once you have checked in, you will be able to avoid the stairs by using the back sliding door in the condo and use the concrete ramp along the side of the building leading to the driveway. Contact me ahead of time if you need me to assist in getting in without using the stairs at all.

Beautiful lake view
Great location, quiet, easy access, clean, plenty of coffee! We ate out the two day stay so didn't really need anything in the kitchen but fully equipped. The deck is shared which might be a draw back for some but we had no problems. Loved the views from the deck and one of the few places to rent on the lake.

Overall the property was good. Discussed with the property owner the sharing of the deck with another unit was a little uncomfortable. He understood.

Great rental
Everything about this place was just what you would want in a weekend rental on the lake. The only negative was we had communicated with the property manager about the use of a private dock only to find out upon our arrival the dock had been removed and no one communicated with us. this significantly altered the structure of our extended weekend, which was focused around fishing. Had the dock been in place as originally planned, stay would’ve been perfect.

Very pleasant, privacy an issue
A lovely little unit, well equipped and maintained. Unfortunately, privacy is compromised by a walkway to a public dock which goes directly in front of the windows. Also, the small deck is shared with another unit and from the front room, you look directly across to the front room of the other unit. This was not mentioned in the listing and should be.

Short of expectations
Photo of the property was misleading re lakefront and patio. Photo does not show multiple docks and harbored boats. It also appears that this unit is ground level with the dock but it is not. We burned candles to deal with the odor of the unit and had to ask for TP. We would liken this unit to a fisherman’s getaway, not a lake apartment.

Beautiful lake side location
This beautiful lake side location can’t be beat! The open kitchen - living room with door wall to a shared deck right on the water made this a very restful stay. We especially enjoyed listening to vintage records on the turntable and watching beautiful sunsets from the dock.

Great lake view!
Great lake view! Quiet location. Property is as shown with the exception of different living room furniture. Listing doesn't mention the flight of stairs to initially enter the condo. After initial entry you can access unit via the sloped sidewalk. Bed was comfortable. Small bathroom (not pictured) but adequate. Really enjoyed the quietness, the lake view and chirping birds. Would stay again.
