About this property

Sandy Cove Lake Front House - Yard, Dock & Natural Sandy Beach on protected cove

Our house is luxurious with unobstructed lake views - Built to enjoy a weekend getaway or a week-long vacation. Dog friendly with a BIG yard to play in and located on a protected cove away from boat traffic, yet only 5 miles from the Publix plaza, movie theatre, etc.

Two large screen TV's in the great room - 50" LCD in game room area with Xbox capabilities and a 65" TV for the main living 42" in the kids bunk room; great for the kids! Smart TVs in 3 of the other bedrooms as well for on demand streaming.

Three King beds (1 upstairs and 2 downstairs); Kids bunk room upstairs has a Queen over Queen bunk bed that sleeps up to 4; as well as 2 Twin beds. There is a 5th bonus bedroom with a Queen bed (accessible through the kids bunk room); a Queen sofa bed in game room area; and 2 Queen size air mattresses if needed. Each King bedroom has its own a private bathroom, while the kids bunk room and the bonus 5th bedroom share a bath, for a total of 4 bathrooms. Our home sleeps 16 guests in beds (including sofa bed) and we permit up to 18 guests max (in case you have a few extra little ones as well).

The awesome kitchen is open concept so you can be a part of the group and see the lake while whipping up dinner. It has all stainless appliances, including a gas stove top and double oven. Granite and quartz counter tops and wood floors throughout. Adults can enjoy the gigantic deck with a fantastic view of the lake while the kids watch tv or play ping pong inside. There is even a hammock on the deck too. Perfect for afternoon cat naps after a day on the lake.

The lake side of the house has private dock for your boat, a 50-foot sandy beach (rare at the lake) in the backyard for super easy access to floating and swimming in the lake. The enormous flat level grass yard is perfect for throwing the football or Frisbee around.

Public boat ramp less than 1.5 miles from home - bring your Boat or PWC and tie it up to the dock for the week and enjoy the fantastic fishing and boating offered on Lake Oconee.

Multiple golf courses are in the area, Great Waters and Reynolds Landing are two favorites...

House is located next to a wooded area on its own 1 1/2-acre lot, and the water is very private on a cove and is perfect for skiing, tubing, and floating!

See you soon!

Pictures Don’t Do It Justice!

My family of 11, ranging from 2.5 to 82 years old, stayed for 4 days in March 2025. We were blown away by the size and beauty of this house when we arrived- pictures did not do it justice. It was spotless and fully stocked with all the cooking, eating, and drinking utensils you could need. It also had an excellent selection of family games, both indoor and outdoor, which we enjoyed immensely. The family favorite was the old arcade game system, super cool! The house is set up perfectly for everyone to be together yet separate simultaneously, which is fantastic for big families like ours. The beach at the house was my kids favorite spot, and with all the comfortable seating options we could all enjoy it with them. The location of the house was also perfect. Our favorite activity outside the house was the kayak and boat rental service from Oconee Wild Watersports- can’t recommend them enough for the water sports, customized souvenirs, and delicious subs. Yes, all in one place! We rented a boat for a day which was an incredibly fun experience because we could dock at the house when we needed a short break, and the lake is so so beautiful. We left this vacation feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and planning our return trip for as soon as possible. Thank you again to the owners for sharing their little slice of heaven with us strangers, we truly appreciate everything you put into it and all your little details did not go unnoticed!

Wonderful views!

We booked this home for a weekend getaway with family during the holidays. We had dinner reservations at Reynolds which was only about a 15 minute drive from the house. My husband and I have 3 young children so the bunk beds with the bonus room attached was perfect for our family. The views are amazing, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home!

Incredible lakefront experience

I rented Sandy Cove for our extended family over Thanksgiving. The home provided our family everything we needed to have a wonderful time. With 8 adults there was plenty of space to spend time both as a group and to spread out and relax. We mad use of the dock, the fire pit, cornhole, the ping pong table, and all of the separate but connected spaces indoors. We weee able to cook a 13 lbs turkey and had everything needed to heat up all the sides. The kitchen has enough space and counters that no one was on top of each other. We also took advantage of the covered patio and ate Thanksgiving dinner outside. There would have been plenty of space had we alternatively decided to stay indoors. Finally, it was clear that our hosts put thought into making sure we would have everything we needed. Thank you for making our Thanksgiving this year one we’ll never forget.

With enough bedrooms for everyone and access to the lake with our own little beach, our family event was a great success! The large kitchen is well equipped, the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the common areas are open with plenty to do. We enjoyed our time there very much!

Best place for fun family memories

Sandy Cove is the perfect place for a large family vacation! We'll talk about for years to come! The flat, ginormous back yard is perfect for playing yard games and even better for young kids to just run around. The beach is perfect for all ages but especially for the toddlers. And the dock was perfect for our boat (Fish Tales Marina is right around the corner and they have a boat ramp and self-serve gas). For our family, everyone had their own space and toilet :) Although, Hurricane Helene had just been through the area, thankfully the weather was perfect, so we were able to spend our days outside and, on the lake, as well as spend our evenings around the firepit or playing ping pong and poker inside. Very convenient to restaurants and grocery shopping. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking necessities and more including a large crockpot. The hosts were great about answering questions before, during and after our stay especially seeing we were visiting right after Hurricane Helene. We will definitely book Sandy Cove when visiting the Lake Oconee area again. Thank you, Tammy and Steve, for sharing your beautiful home.

Family Haven @ Lake Oconee

This property cannot be fully appreciated until you get there. The pictures do not do it justice. It’s absolutely beautiful and a showstopper! It was our first trip to Lake Oconee and we traveled with family from all over the country. We had 16 in our group with ages ranging from 10 months to 73 years. There was something there for everyone to enjoy! The kids loved the toys, video games, beach, and dock, while the adults enjoyed the sprawling open spaces, comfy king beds, and outside sitting areas! The Publix was only 10 minutes away and Mellow Mushroom was 5 minutes away!! We were drawn to this home specifically for the beach entry to the lake. It was the only home we could find that didn’t have a straight drop off into the lake. This was very important to us since we were traveling with very young children! It was an absolute must for us! We rented a double decker boat with a slide from Young Harris Water Sports one of the days and it fit perfectly at the home dock. It was so convenient to be able to pick up and drop off family members throughout the day! We’ve never done a lake trip as a family before. We usually do beach trips! Now we want to be lake people. We were on Realtor.com all weekend trying to find a place like this home that was available to buy. We loved it that much! This home will now be our go to for all future Lake Oconee trips! Thank you Tammy and Steve for being wonderful hosts and sharing your gem of a home with us!! 😊

Great Stay

We had an amazing stay at this property! Our family of 15 enjoyed plenty of space, allowing us to spend quality time together without feeling cramped. The house and property were well-maintained. The dock was comfortable accommodating our two boats and making it easy to get in and out of the water. Additionally, any questions we had were promptly and professionally answered. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would recommend this property.

Great location and incredible property.

We spent four nights with two groups of friends and their respective families. The house was perfect for our group of 11 (6 adults, 5 teenagers). The property is incredible. The teenagers played football in the backyard and along the waters edge. We all enjoyed lounging in the dock. It was an incredible stay. Steve (owner) was always available. Highly recommended.

Great overall!

The only big thing to add is that at the back stair steps, there is a large drop off that made it very hard for my mom to get down as she is currently using a walker and cannot put pressure on her knee. I would check and insure that this drop off aligns with ADA guidelines and add some stones to help steps align more.

Perfect for multi-generational family stay

We did a good bit of looking before we chose this home for a weekend trip with my grandma. She is in her 80s and the youngest of our crew is 9. EVERY ONE of us absolutely enjoyed our stay here. Literally no issues, and the layout of the home made it so we could all enjoy each others company, cook together, eat on the porch, etc. My grandma uses a wheelchair except for very short walking distances, and she had no problem navigating the lower floor after assistance entering the few stairs into the home. There was not a ramp entry to my knowledge, but once she was in, it was no trouble for her to get herself around the spacious living areas. We brought a few kayaks and the kids lived down at the water for the duration, until it was dark, and even then they only moved up to the fire pit. Everything was clean and well-stocked. We really appreciated a bunk-style room for a bunch of kids, as well as several private rooms for grownups and other bed options as well. The hosts have been easy to communicate with and were very kind to accommodate a later check out when I needed to drive over an hour away early on checkout morning to provide nursing care to an elderly family member and then return to pick up my family. We really appreciated that flexibility as it meant I didn’t need to get all my kids up and out the door at the crack of dawn. This is truly a space all ages can enjoy and our whole big family said we would like to come back!
