Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Unique and amazing 3 bed / 1.5 bath nautical beach house has the best lake and sunset views of the Chain O' Lakes. Be amazed from the extra-large deck of the penthouse suite overlooking the lake, and watch sunsets fall over the bay and color the sky. The back deck is your private place to entertain & relax overlooking all the splendor of the lake. If you want to get your feet in the sand, then head downstairs and enjoy the beach and play bags or enjoy the beach fire tables in the warmer months.

The space
Welcome to our one-of-a-kind beach penthouse property above our beach bar that has been completely remodeled and decorated to capture the ambiance of the lake life. This amazing 3 bed /1.5 bath property has everything you need to enjoy the best of Chain O Lakes. Use our Wi-Fi to stay connected if you’d like; otherwise, take a break and enjoy fishing, boating, bags, and family board or card games! Fish right off our pier, or just relax & take in the beauty of the lake from the large second level deck. With all our beach penthouse has to offer, you'll never want to leave! Want to get a drink? Just walk downstairs to our bar and place your order.

This remodeled modern penthouse unit is recessed above one of the most happening places on the Chain O’ Lakes. Want to bring your watercraft to enjoy the fun? Our venue is equipped with a private boat launch, piers, and even floating wave runner parking for a full lake life experience. (See OTHER THINGS TO NOTE section to view amenity fees for costs to park your watercraft during your stay)

Guest access
Guests will be able to access all parts of the inside of the penthouse and the beach house upper deck. The only part of the inside of the home inaccessible is the utility closet for the cleaning company to store their supplies. The large deck on the second level is all yours.

On the lower level below the beach house is a beach bar that you are welcome to stop in if you would like during business hours. The sand beach behind the bar to the lake is all yours anytime of the day or night.

Guests will have access to the private piers to fish off, park their boats during the day, and use the wave runner parking if that’s you. (See Amenity fees below.)

Private Boat Pier from May to September (All Piers removed in late October for offseason in the MidWest. Max length of boat not to exceed 27'. Pier Access fee may apply. Renters responsible to properly tie up and protect their boats with fenders.)

Other things to note
Bring your fishing gear. There is good fishing in the lake right off the piers. Our kids catch large bass, catfish, bluegill and perch right off our pier.

This is a popular place for Naval families to visit and cheer on their boot camp grads since it is only a half hour from the Great Lakes Naval base.

This beach house is designed safe and secure, and is equipped with a Smart Dead Bolt lock that controls check in and check out times, and has a door camera feature to make sure the correct guests are entering our home. All for your safety and to protect our home. There is also a general security camera monitoring the stairs case up to the unit.

Trailer Parking is available for those bringing your watercraft. You will be allotted a max of 4 vehicles per guest stay. Please do not exceed the limit. Guests should park to the right along the treeline.

It is $25 for your entire stay to use our wave runner parking or leave your boat tied up to our piers system. Please let us know far in advance to your check-in if interested.

NOTE - It is important to note that the waters are open and waves can get pretty rough when larger boats go by, especially on the weekends. It is not recommended to keep your boat parked overnight at our piers, but to take it out on your trailer every night. When parked at the pier system in the day, make sure to have your boat properly tied up and all fenders sitting properly so your boat is not damaged from the crashing waves.

NOTE2 – This property does sit directly above the beach bar. Expect a happening day and nightlife vibe happening right underneath you during this stay. The music can be heard upstairs until the closing of the bar. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this property may not be suitable for your vacation needs, and we welcome you to view our other properties in more remote locations. If a lively vibe is what you are looking for on your vacation, look no further.
