The space
The large upper balcony has plenty of seating with a professional natural gas grill.

This 1,300 square foot vacation home is nested on a .5 acre of waterfront property. The water is just steps away from the back of the house with your own private pier and backyard. This house is minutes from all enjoyment on the famous Chain O' Lakes.

The main house is a 3 bedroom / 3.5 bathroom house. The patio area is feet away from the waterfront, and an amazing balcony rests on the next level above the water.

Guest access
Guests will be able to access all parts of the house, yard and garage. The only inaccessible parts of the house are the large storage garage and the utility closet in the basement.

Want some beach time? This property is in an HOA with a private beach on the Bay just a walk away. (Guest Pass required and included in your stay)

Need a boat ramp and slip for your stay? No Problem, we have a boat ramp right next door at Jays Clubhouse, and this property has 1 private slip. We would not recommend any boats above 24'-25'. (Note - Its a narrow boat ramp, good enough for experienced boaters, but risky for inexperienced dockers.)

To drop your watercraft, you can also use the Chain O Lakes State Park ramp, or use local marina ramps for a small fee (recommended).

There is a door camera on the main entry door for your safety and security. There is also a Decibel meter on the property to help keep noise levels under local ordinance levels and keep the neighbors happy.

There is a hot tub to enjoy under the gazebo in the back yard.

Other things to note
Yes, this home is pet friendly! Max up to 2 pets. A pet fee does apply.

This home is right next to Jays Clubhouse Bar and Grill, and there is a certain level of noise from the music that can be heard, especially on the weekends.

Bring your fishing gear. There is good fishing in Mineola Bay and in channels. Our kids catch large bass, catfish, bluegill and perch right off our pier in the back yard.

This is a popular house 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 home 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.

(Winter Alert - Outdoor amenities will be limited in the winter obviously. All of the lawn furniture will have seasonal covers on them, the grill will be covered.)

Neighborhood highlights

This home is on a small street close to Fox Lake Downtown area that is between two channels that head out to the historic Mineola Bay. This home is in an HOA that does have a private beach right on Mineola Bay.

Also, this home is right next to Jays Clubhouse Bar and Grill. This can be a great bonus for those looking to be in walking distance for a meal or drink or to cut loose. However, if you are looking for a weekend of peace and quiet, this might not be the best location for you.
