We had a wonderful week-long stay in this home. We visit the lake yearly and have stayed in many private communities but by far, this home and the Balmoral community, is our favorite.
The house - The house was updated, clean and thoughtfully decorated. The AC worked great (it was very hot and humid out). The main living and dining areas were spacious and comfortable for us to hang out in and the kitchen was well-equipped to cook (we typically ate out for dinner though). The two full bathrooms were also clean and had good water pressure (having two bathrooms was convenient while traveling with two teenage girls). The four bedrooms were spacious and had very comfortable beds. Although we brought our own linens and towels, it was helpful to have extras of everything that were provided in the home.
House Extras - The house has a nice deck and outdoor seating. It also has a large parking area. We brought our 15ft fishing boat and had no problem parking the boat on the trailer in the driveway area with plenty of room for a crew cab pickup truck and SUV. The house came with a golf cart to use to get to and from the beach, which is pretty common to see in this community. We also used the two house kayaks for a day, which the teenagers loved since the lake area was not busy with boats during the week (unlike renting kayaks from a business that launches in high traffic areas). They even paddled out to an island and had lunch on the kayaks while drifting.
The Beach/Boat Launch - the beach and boat launch are busy on the weekends (typical) but during the week, they have an average amount of people. The beach is large, clean and has an area to beach your boat for a short time (or tie up to the dock while picking up your trailer at the clubhouse - a 5 min walk). The ice cream boat came twice to this beach (which the kids loved) and using floats in the swim area was perfect. The boat launch is narrow but if your experienced trailing a boat, it’s no problem. We loved being able to use the private launch instead of having to use a town launch (as we’ve done in the past).
Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The house was great and we loved the beach area and boat launch accommodations that are in this community. Kelly, the owner is also wonderful and easy to communicate with. We can’t wait to visit again! 10/10!
