Located on the end of a quiet cove with little boat traffic, the home has a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and dining area which seats six and a cozy living room with a smart TV. A sun room extends off the living room with another TV with Roku. A deck overlooks the woods and dock. A full bath and a large master bedroom with a king size bed complete the upper level.
Downstairs is another full bath, a second bedroom with a queen size bed and another room with a twin over double bunk bed. The family room on this level has a queen size sleeper and another smart TV. Sliding glass doors open to the covered patio. A washer and dryer are located on this level.
WiFi Internet is provided at our house for our guests.
The dock has room for your boat and PWC and there is a large party deck above the dock. You can take the stairs to the dock or walk down the gravel path. We've kept the rental price lower than most because there are a lot of stairs to get to the dock and portions of the gravel path are steep. We've added lights on the dock and the stairs as well as a fire pit behind the house.
A community area with a tennis court, 2 pickleball courts, a basketball area and a large open field with a volleyball court is across the street.
Crystal Shores Marina (formerly the Smith Mountain Yacht Club), a state boat ramp, several marinas and the state park are close by.
Location, Location, Location!: The house is conveniently located across from the R-27A marker which is between Halesford Bridge and the SML State Park. The Halesford Bridge area and Bridgewater Plaza are about 5 minutes by boat and 10 minutes by car. Here you will find several restaurants, shops, game arcade, miniature golf, and an ice cream parlor. There are also several marinas in this area that have fuel and rent boats and jet skis. The State Park is about 10 minutes by boat and 15 minutes by car. It features a boat dock, sandy beach, concession stand, nature tours and plenty of open area. The Westlake area is about 15 minutes by car and is inaccessible by boat. It has a Kroger grocery store, CVS pharmacy, several specialty shops, more restaurants and a movie theater. The closest grocery store is Food Lion which is only 5 minutes from the house.
More Features: Our house is located on the end of a quiet cove with few waves and very little boat traffic. My kids love to swim and fish off the dock and there is a canoe, two sit-on-top kayaks, two sit-inside kayaks, and a pedal boat available on the dock so you can float around the cove or paddle around the lake. There is a 10' X 20' floater for docking your boat or jet skis. Directly across the street from the house is a large open community area that is great for soccer, football, kickball or Frisbee and can be used for overflow car or boat trailer parking. A fenced multipurpose court is also located here where you can play pickleball, tennis and shoot some basketball. Pickleball paddles and balls are available for our guests to use.
We rent weekly during the summer. We take summer rentals of less than a week only if the house is still available at the last minute, and those minimum stays are noted on the calendar. When I rent, I like to pay a refundable security deposit instead of paying damage insurance so I've enabled that option. However, if you'd prefer to pay for insurance, please let me know and I'll enable that for you.
