Enjoy the private concrete dock. This beautiful concrete dock has an extra-large swim and sunbathing platform, a high dive platform, and a large water slide. Also in the water is a 12' long raft and a floating climbing rock for everyone to enjoy. The kids will spend hours playing on and swimming at the dock with these items.

Boats and jet skis rentals are available through a local source. Of course, you can bring your own boats or watercraft.

Just off the game room is a large deck with a ceiling fan, where you can enjoy all those lovely spring and summer evenings. If it gets a little cool, light up the fire on the lower patio or the propane heater on the lower deck.

After a long, exhausting day of swimming, boating, fishing, or shopping, you can relax under the Ozark stars on the deck or dock. When finished, gather around the blazing lakefront propane fire pit's warmth to roast marshmallows or enjoy the sweet taste of s'mores. It doesn't get any better than that???

Great vacation

This house was perfect for our group. It was very clean and well equipped. The outdoor spaces are fun, especially the dock. We used the fire pit for s’mores as well as the Blackstone and Weber grill for meals. We would definitely consider staying again.

Multiple Families

This house is a great location!! It has everything we needed from the toys to the kitchen gadgets. The living area inside is on the smaller side, along with the kitchen but we made it work. We spent a lot of time on the multiple decks and of course the dock. It would’ve been nice to have the jet ski ramp available.

Family Vacation

This property is an excellent choice for a family vacation. Our group of 8, 4 adults and 4 kids, had plenty of space. It was spotless and the amenities were wonderful. The kids spent several hours every day using the dock area. They loved the jumping platform, the water slide, climbing to the top of the mountain and the floating platform. We played ping pong and pool many times. It was just a wonderful week for all of us! The owner was always available and was very easy to communicate with! Overall, this is one of the best vacations we’ve had!

Nice lake house

The place offers a lot of things for kids to do. Ping pong, pool table, outside slide, diving platform and climbing wall in the water. The kids enjoyed this as well as the boat we rented to go tubing. The lake is really nice and was warm in June. The lake also offers a lot of restaurants on the water to eat at. The only complaint I would have is the TV service was not great and reception would go In and out. The kitchen was not that big but we made it work for 10 people. NIce property and communication with the owner great.

Thunder Cove Summer Vacation

This was the perfect location and property for a trip to the Ozarks in the summer. Everyone in our group agreed. The house is so comfortable and has such a fun atmosphere! Especially in the lower level! The set up was perfect. Very easy deck and dock access! We couldn't believe how convenient the Mystic Marina is next door. Perfect tubing/skiing coves all around. Also, there are so many bar/restaurants that are so close by boat. Nice to stop at Frank and Louie's, Coconuts for the kids to swim. (Especially for younger kids, like 3 years) And Bear Bottom was an easy drive! so fun! Everyone would highly recommend Charlie's vacation rental! thank you!

Thank you for the review! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves. We have been blessed, the Lake of the Ozarks and especially our cove is perfect for family fun!! We strived to make our home, including the outdoor space as accommodating as possible. We are so happy to hear, when we can’t be there to enjoy it ourselves, our guests and their families get to make their own lake memories!

Amazing place to stay for Families with KIDS, Played in the water all day and night!

Charlie was a great host! Our two families enjoyed the house. The Lake Dock, Toys, and Iceberg the kids named Bob, were the biggest hits. We played in the lake from sun up to sundown. Rented a Tritoon from Lake Time Rentals, they delivered to the dock and returned the boat too. The facility and rooms were great. We held a fun competition of family games to see which family won the Family Cup this year. So they Ping Pong, Pool table, family room, outside multiple patios came in very handy. Communication was easy and direct with Charlie. We shared some recommendations and he made them to assist future renters. Overall a great location. Propane Fire place outside was a hit too. Thank you Charlie.

Perfect Lake Getaway

We had a great week at this lake home. There were 13 in our party (ages 4 through 70) and there was plenty of room for all of us. The home had amazing lake views, was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The Weber and Blackstone grills were a huge plus, and we did all of our cooking outside. When we weren't out boating, the kids really enjoyed the dock complex and were so excited about how many fish they caught. The home sits on a quiet cove (during the week at least) that was great for skiing and was a perfect location for getting to some of the popular restaurants. We also enjoyed Indian Rock Golf Club that was about 5 minutes from the house. We would definitely return. Things I wish I knew beforehand: Bass Point Resort is the best place to launch a boat that we found. It's the second closest ramp (under 10 minutes by car) but was way better than the closest (Millstone). Lake Shores was right across from Bass Point and also looked pretty good. You can only park a loaded boat trailer on the road above the property for a short time. It was a little tricky backing an empty 25ft trailer down the steep driveway, but it worked and there was still room for probably three vehicles. The boat slip worked well once we figured out the best way to tie up the boat, but there were some large wakes that came into the dock that bounced the boat around pretty hard.

Awesome place for being in the water!

Great place! The location is excellent – nice relatively quiet channel, but close to main channel. Easy boat ride over to H. Toads or Shady Gators for food & drink and entertainment. Next door is nice little fuel station open on weekends. Can land boat at either Bass Point Resort ($10) or Lake Shores Marina ($5) which are just around the corner. The home was well kept. Beds were comfortable. Layout was solid. Plenty of outdoor living space. Parking was great. Two fridges was nice to have. Laundry room was excellent. The downstairs entertainment area was great – very large TV, bar with amenities, couches, and pool/ping pong table. The real show was the dock! Sure, a few steps up and down but size and layout were great! They have nice inflatable items – a pad for lounging and a climbing structure. The dock has a jumping platform (8 feet), water slide (with water running down it) and easy to climb ladder. The water was nice and deep off the end of the dock. There’s an empty boat slip and the dock is big enough for a large group to be out there – both with swimmers and those enjoying the sun. We found ourselves on the dock more than the house! The fishing in the area was solid – crappies, bluegills, bass, & catfish. And, the water temp was amazing - 85 degrees F surface temp - in mid-Aug. It is a windy, gravel road to the place – but fairly easy to navigate. We really enjoyed the donuts from Donut Palace in the nearby town of Laurie, half price pizza on Tuesday at Alley Cat’s in Lake Ozark, and a ‘beach day’ at Franky & Louie’s Beachfront Bar & Grill. The owner was very communicative and did a great job of laying out all of the details, etc. If you are eyeing this place, you should book it with confidence!

Wonderful Stay at Thunder Cove

Our family of 7 adult and 3 kids had a wonderful week at Thunder Cove. This house has the very best location in a large quiet cove on a large busy lake. We enjoyed hanging out on the dock with the high dive, slide, climbing mountain, and large float. We were glad to have found a home that had an available boat slip that we could use. Thunder Cove has all the fun extras, including the ping pong /pool table and although we brought our own games, the home was stocked with plenty of other choices. The home had a safety features on the sliding back door, that made us feel secure with our little ones. Every night we experienced the perfect setting overlooking the lake on the 2 outdoor decks. With our large family it was convenient having 2 refrigerators and we also enjoyed using the outdoor griddle to cook on. Our host was responsive to any questions we had. My only small suggestion would be to have more towel racks or hooks to hang up wet towels.

Family Vacation

The location of Charlie's lake home was wonderful. We were a little worried about boat traffic and being able to float/play around the dock, but that was not a problem at all. That is where we spent the majority of our time. The slide and high jump were great dock accessories. When entering the kitchen it was smaller than what we were used to, however it had everything we needed. The lower level of house and outside decks made up for it. They were very spacious. The two grills were very nice to have accessible for usage. We enjoyed the closeness to the towns for any additional grocery or other needs. For the one time we contacted Charlie, he immediately responded. Our family had a very enjoyable, fun filled week. We would highly recommend Charlie's home to others.

Family Reunion at the Lake

Nice family oriented vacation gem. Lots of room and entertainment options. Would suggest it’s more appropriate for ages 8+ We had 3 under 4yo and one very athletic 6yo who wanted to play ping pong, pool and climb the water tower but just couldn’t. (Water tower in need of repair) Guys had fun trying out the Hibachi Grill! Early check out time (10 am) required an early rise and extensive cleanup of premise to meet owners expectations (and get deposit back) which didn’t allow time for anything else. Dinner at nearby Franky & Louie’s was lots of fun (beach for kids, music for adults). Bridal Cave is pricey but was a fun activity on a rainy day. All in all we had a great time. Communication with Charlie was easy and he was very responsive. Book early!!
