About this property

Private Boat Ramp, Dock, Pet Friendly, Screen Porch, Firepit, Fish, Kayak, Relax

Slice of Lake Life - My happy place! Relax on the huge screened porch steps away from Lake Martin. Quiet Sandy Creek area has the perfect balance of activity vs privacy. Ski/tube or fish right outside. The yard is flat and grassy, perfect for kicking the ball or laying out. Sit and talk around the fire pit in the evenings. Inside, entertain yourselves with various board games, books and puzzles.

House has a private boat ramp and dock. Please be aware that the lake water level is controlled by Alabama Power and in the winter depending on what they do as well as the amount of rain received you may need to use the public launch. The water level is typically lowered gradually starting in September and is raised gradually starting in March. Please check LakeMartin.com/Level.asp to see the estimated level for your visit. We recommend the level to be 488 MSL to comfortably use the launch. At this level the floating dock will be approximately 4.5 feet deep at the front of the slip and 5.5 feet deep at the back. At 487 MSL you can still use the floating dock, but will likely need to use the public launch at the end of Youngs Ferry Rd.

There is plenty of parking with a long driveway, parking area, as well as the boat launch.

For outdoor fun we have various floats for swimming, a four person pedal boat, and kayaks for the adventurous. In the shed there are outdoor games. If you bring a pet, there is a solid tie down set up if needed.

Four bedroom, two and a half bath home with a sleeper sofa in den easily sleeps 10. Great room with living and dining areas has a window wall overlooking the lake. Fully equipped kitchen and laundry room. Eat inside or outside under ceiling fans on the screened in porch. All rooms have ceiling fans. In the king room closet is a pack-n-play (no crib bedding is provided) and high chair.

There are Smart TVs in the Living Room, both bedrooms with king beds, and the bedroom with the queen/trundle. All have access to your personal Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu etc. accounts.

The neighborhood as friendly dogs off leash, so don't be surprised if you have a welcoming party.

House has exterior cameras primarily for safety when the home is unoccupied.

Family reunion and football

We loved the property inside and out. The location was near many restaurants and other attractions! A short trip to Auburn for a football game was the icing on the cake for our extended weekend! Finally, our host Pam went above and beyond in her care and attention to our family! We would definitely like to return here for another family reunion!

Great getaway!

We loved this house - perfect for our family and a few friends. House was clean and had everything we needed. One-story house was great for older parents (there are stairs down off the back deck). Prior guests had left water toys out so they needed a little TLC, but otherwise we had a wonderful time and will stay again for sure!

Relaxing and Quiet Stay

Enjoyed a quiet and chilled trip with a couple of family members and my dog! We stayed put once we got to the lake house with only a couple of trips to the grocery. There are plenty of outdoor spaces for enjoying the water views, and my dog had a ball with all the swimming and fetching! Pam is an excellent host and quick to respond! The neighbor’s dog greeted us and would stop by on occasion to make sure all was okay!😁 Would definitely come back to this rental property!

Perfect Lake Martin Rental House!

We thoroughly enjoyed our first (but not last) trip to Lake Martin at this house....it had everything we wanted and more! This was a multi generational family get away to celebrate the end of the summer and multiple birthdays. The house was perfect--we absolutely loved the screened porch and the shed filled with kayaks, tubes, life jackets, everything we needed. The host was very accommodating and communication was timely and very easy. We loved the water hammock and floating dock! My son who turned 14 on this trip was ecstatic to be able to bring his dog, our yellow lab, on the trip with us. We would definitely stay here again!

East facing

The house is everything that the pictures show, from the screened in porch to the open floor plan. Great for those looking for one level and the ease to the dock. Because the houses faces east you don’t get the heat of the afternoon sun. The entrance to the house is a little sketchy but the street that the house is on is a great subdivision feel. Looking forward to going back.

Yard overgrown not cut, could not use the yard for yard games. The exterior of the house had several spider webs that could be easily cleaned or taken off and both front and rear porch needed to be cleaned. Access to the water was great, the deck was also great.

The property was ideal for our family. The convenience of having a boat ramp made a big impact on the ease of the vacation. The outdoor space was our favorite part and perfect for our boys! No one wanted to leave.As a host, Pam was easy to work with and very quick to respond. We had a few hiccups once we arrived but she was attentive and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The cleanliness rating was shared with Pam during the stay and she was grateful for the feedback as she just changed services.

Perfect house for our family

So many rentals on the lake do not allow dogs so we are limited to those properties. This was perfect in that it is a nice level lot to the lake with a launch which suited our purposes double fold. The ability to launch our boat there and also shallow enough for our dog to play. House had everything we needed for cooking. Definitely will stay again!

Lovely lake house getaway

We had a very nice stay at the house. Everything is well maintained and comfortable. The beds are nice so everyone was able to sleep well. The kitchen is nicely supplied with a few spices! The view is amazing. Our dogs had the best time swimming right off the back yard. The back porch was our favorite. We spent lots of time outside even using the firepit in the evenings. Highly recommend the property. We hope to come back in the summer!

About the host

Hosted by Pam Jones

Host profile image
JBar Properties is a family owned business. Kipp and Pam have been married since 1993. Our older daughter graduated from Auburn and the younger one from UGA (football season is fun in our house). We love Slice of Lake Life and are happy to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house location. It's very close to the water with a flat grassy area and a private boat ramp! We spend our time not on the lake sitting outside on the huge screened in porch watching the water or toasting marshmallows around the fire pit. Sandy Creek is perfect, great for ski/tubing and general boating but very private, even on the holidays. Bonus, just 30 minutes from the Auburn Campus.

What makes this property unique

House on flat lot just feet from the water. Huge screened porch overlooks over a 100' of lakefront. House feels private even with houses on both sides. Large floating dock. Stairs from dock into water.
