About this property

Captain Ron's No-Wake Cove. Terrific lake views from inside home & from decks!

This inviting and updated lake front home has much to offer in Captain Ron's no-wake cove. Be sure to check out our other nearby lake houses: #2430667 and #419921. The fully furnished kitchen offers granite counter tops and stainless appliances. Imagine relaxing on the deck with a cool beverage, just feet from the lake with a terrific panoramic view! The stone wood burning fireplace offers family memories or a romantic fire setting. How about a in the stone fireplace. Or enjoy our outside fire-ring for your family bonfire!

This Lake Home is a smoke-free environment. We ask that if you smoke, please do so outside on the grounds or deck. Please police your trash, thank you.

We require you to bring your own life vests for you and your children. The water off the dock is over an adult's head.

Our 25-foot, tri-toon Pontoon boat with a 150hp Mercury 4 stroke engine is available for rent to our guests right from our dock.
Our lake house is easy to get to and close to everything. With blacktop all the way to the lake home. Great fishing off the dock over our many crappie beds and where bald eagles can often be seen wintering on the lake.

Pet: Allowed on a per pet bases. $50 per pet.

Exterior only cameras on the lake house and dock.
Many activities including water sports, shopping, golfing, hiking at one of the many State Parks (We love Ha-Ha-Tonka State Park), Big Surf Water Park and so much more. We are located near the Hurricane Deck Bridge at the 34MM. From our deck or from inside our lake house, you have a terrific main channel view from inside our protected cove! The unique six-sided room fronting the lake is walled with windows-- very inviting and offers a beautiful stone, wood burning fireplace. Home backs to the east and the deck receives morning sun and shaded afternoons! With two separate TV and living areas, this 1,950 square foot home has room to relax. The dock has a swim platform and an area to enjoy the sun!! Terrific fishing around the established crappie beds. Sleeping arrangements made easy with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths plus a bunk room area in the finished lower level. The bunk area has a twin over a double- bunk bed plus another double bed. The family room has a couch, love seat and chair with a TV.

You are within walking distance to one of the hottest family friendly spots on the lake--Captain Ron’s Restaurant and Bar features live music, tiki bars & a large sand beaches with beach volleyball nets and swim area. Pirate's Point Boat Rental is right around the point, less than a mile, where you can rent boats and jet skis of all types! Estimated times from our driveway: Wood's Super Store 5 minutes. Outlet mall about 22 minutes. Tons of restaurants and shopping within 10 minutes. Easy directions, just a half mile off Hwy 5, black top all the way! Cell phones work great at the lake house. Terrific for the Shoot-Out and BroStock events at Captain Ron's. Our second and third lake houses are larger and offers 5 bedroom- check them out by googling VRBO #2430667 or VRBO #419921. They are side by side and about 4 1/2 miles by water or about a 7-minute drive by car. Both top quality!

Fully equipped kitchen, gas bbq grill, linens and shower towel provided (we do not provide outside towels for beach, boat or dock), laundry room with washer and dryer.

A variety of attractions are within a 20-minute drive. Enjoy day hikes at Ha Ha Tonka State Park where you can picnic and swim while exploring the ruins of a real stone castle, a natural rock arch, caves and large spring. On your way back to the lake house stop in Camdenton at a fresh fruit and vegetable market. Bridal cave is also nearby with its spectacular geological features. Enjoy nearby Big Surf Water Park or several terrific golf courses. Ol' Kinderhook GC is one of my favorites and the home of my only hole in one! Tons of shops and restaurants or take in a movie!

Please email or call with any questions.

Perfect family getaway

This property was perfect for our family vacation. We have a family cabin on the water in Wisconsin and we were looking for a place that was similar but without the 8-9 hour drive. The steep driveway and stairs were the only things we could have done without, but it seems in the Lake of the Ozarks, that’s hard to avoid. Once checked in we realized the refrigerator wasn’t working. The homeowner was aware of the issue and had been trying to get it working, but wasn’t having much luck. The property did have a second refrigerator on the lower level and he did compensate us for the inconvenience. Our family loved this property and hope to stay again soon.

Great location, great cove.

The positives can't be easily duplicated. The location in the no wake cove is amazing. The deck is great, and the house overall is nice. There were some negatives. There is very limited parking as there is just a small driveway to go down to the house crammed in between two other houses. No street parking. The house smelled musty when we got there and had to leave windows open and air it out for several hours. The outside of the house was very dirty with cobwebs everywhere, walkways needing swept, etc. A lot of the outside lights don't work, so had to be careful walking at night. The check-in process was confusing as you have to contact a different person when you get there than who you have been communicating with to get a code. Overall I gave a 4 star, but with a little bit of TLC I would rate it a 5.

Great Location

We loved the location. The home is as described and within steps of the water. My son and I love fishing were able to catch several catfish and bass right from the dock. The owner offers a boat rental right from his dock as well. He is comparably priced to other rental companies in the area but you have the added benefit of it being at your dock. The home is also near another nice rental company right around the corner on the water. We rented kayaks for a day then jet skis for a day from them and once again it was very beneficial to be so close to the house. One of the best things is where the home is on the lake. You are on a quieter section but if you crave the excitement like my wife does, you are only about a 20 minute drive from Osage Beach where all the action is. I read several reviews before I booked. Seems like the common negative is the steep driveway. I will admit that it’s pretty steep, but if you’ve been driving longer than a month, this shouldn’t be an issue for you. I brought my parents with me who are in their 70’s and they had no issues pulling into and out of the home in a small Kia SUV. I drive a huge F-250 with an 8” lift on 37” tires and I too had no issues. The driveway is plenty big enough to not have to worry about the slope. So don’t let those reviews worry you.

Very relaxing and peaceful!

Myself 48F, my mom 71F, and my aunt 73F stayed Saturday to Friday and loved the main living area (kitchen, living room, dining table) that had floor to ceiling windows and 2 sliding glass doors to access the deck. Interior was very clean, beds were comfortable, and kitchen was very well stocked with pots/pans, mixing bowls, Pyrex, and most any cooking utensil you could need. Gas station/convenience store 1/2 mile from house, Wood’s grocery store (less than 2 miles), several restaurants, a couple dispensaries, and other stores within 3-4 miles, and a very nice indoor community pool for lap swimming and water aerobics in Laurie. We rented the Tritoon and it was the perfect size for this lake and stable even with choppy water. Like many lake houses, the sections of the house are on split levels. Garage has several steps down to bedroom/bathroom level, then several steps down to the main living area & deck, then several steps down to the lower level (bunk room, 2nd living area, and laundry room). Not full flights of stairs - more like 10 steps. There is a full flight of steps from the deck to the boat dock. It worked great for us and 2 dachshunds but I would caution anyone that struggles with stairs. Families with toddlers would definitely want to bring 2-3 baby gates. For people with dogs, they will absolute love the deck views, both inside and outside! The 1/2 mile from the house up to Road 5 is a quiet - great for walking dogs. Large grassy space at Scallywags RV park, too.

The home is right on the lake in a cove and the view is amazing. We had a very nice stay and all in all the house is very nice. Only things that would have made it better, the ground floor deck had empty beer cans on it, old pool noodles thrown around and a swim float. There were several patio tables pushed against each other and the house and no chairs. The gate to the top deck was not attached and propped by a chair and a brick. The dock had old bait in a container sitting on it. And the deck and the outside of the house on the decks could have been power washed as they were very dirty. The shower in the hall bath had a dried wadded up wash rag in it and the toilet wouldn’t flush properly. I attempted to text the property manager regarding the trash on the lower deck and never received a response so I didn’t bother sending anything about the other things. They weren’t a huge deal to us. The view seriously is amazing and with a little maintenance and cleaning this home could be a dream. It’s all ready very close. We did enjoy our stay very much even with these minor things.

Not the greatest

Location was beautiful, host not communicating about the water not being safe to drink until an hour before we checked in. The host was aware of this problem one week prior and did not notify us then. The explanation given by the host was he thought everything would be fixed before our stay. The fact that the host didn’t mention any problems until an hour before our check in and didn’t offer another location, modify our reservation or even refund our stay.

The house is gorgeous with incredible views of the lake. Check was smooth over the phone while still enroute and we were allowed in early, Cleaning crew was leaving as we arrived. Wi-Fi and AC worked very well all week which was a blessing due to the heat. There are some minor issues that need to be addressed, skylight leaks in the rain, which were shared with Randy. Unfortunately we could not drink the water but was advised of that just before arriving and could bring extra bottled water. Overall it was an great first experience with VRBO on the Lake of the Ozarks.

Why they chose this property

Terrific for building family memories!! Important features for us were the terrific views from the double decks and from inside the home, the no-wake cove, easy drive with black top all the way, fire pit, wood burning fireplace and a short 5 minute drive to grocery stores, restaurants and shops. Captain Ron's is about a 1/3 mile walk and offers that relaxing "lake feeling" with live music and many activities!!

What makes this property unique

Captain Ron's family restaurant and Pirate's Point Boat and Jet Ski Rentals is just around the corner. Our family enjoys water sports and day hikes in Ha Ha Tonka State Park which is about a 20 minute drive away. Outlet Mall shopping is a favorite where we can catch a movie with the kids.
