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!brbr————————brbrLiving RoombrFull KitchenbrDining AreabrShared Large Patiobr300 foot dockbrFull BathbrBedroombrWalk-In ClosetbrShared Laundry RoombrGarage space for storage if neededbrbrIncluded- 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.brbrThe 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!brbrFor 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.brbrAlso 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.

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.brbr—————————brbrbrWhen 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.
