Wanting to wake just a couple feet from the water with the best view of the lake? My one bedroom upper level 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 queen bed, a full size new pullout couch, 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!----------------------------------------------------Living RoomFull KitchenDining AreaUpper Level Patio300 foot dockFull BathBedroomLarge ClosetsShared Laundry RoomGarage space for storage if neededIncluded- Fresh sheets and blankets on all beds as well as extra sheets on closet for air mattress. Plates, silverware, glassware, toaster, coffee maker, coffee supplies, outdoor grill, beach towels, cards, board games, and books. 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 are 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 not recommended. 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, stay on the upper level, and use another key code to get in to the condo. The building has four total units; two on each level. I live in the unit next to the rental condo and I give guests their space to enjoy the entire patio to themselves so it will feel like it is your own private patio. :)Check out my welcome guide that I have created with all of my favorite local restaurants and summer activities to explore! I have a hard copy in the condo as well as a link to it if you'd like to look at it ahead of your visit.
