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.

My family had a fantastic time at this property! It has more available supplies than an average vacation rental, very comfortably furnished, beautiful well maintained deck and very responsive helpful owners. We have stayed at multiple homes on lake Martin and this was by far our favorite. We will be back!
House was very clean. It had all of the needed items and plenty of extra essentials. We loved our stay and hope to go back as soon as we can. Host was extremely nice! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Great property on the water. The decking on the water with the covered seating area was perfect for us and our kids to fish. We loved sitting around the fire pit. Kayaks were a lot of fun! The rooms were spacious, the kitchen very well appointed, and the bathrooms very clean. It went from high 70s to high 30s on our third day. The games and cards and books meant that the kids were never bored. Due to strong storms, the power was out for about 9 hours. Owners offered to refund us the last two days of our trip. We ultimately decided to stay, but greatly appreciated the offer. Superb communication and wonderful property!
This property was perfect for our annual family fishing trip. Grandparents, parents, kids and dogs alike enjoyed our stay. We look forward to visiting again!
We so loved our stay! It was wonderful being able to have our dogs with us. The property was great! The beds were comfortable! We will definitely be back!
We and our Labrador Retriever really enjoined spending a week in this very clean, well furnished house. The big grassy backyard and the dock were wonderful. Great for paddleboarding and boating.
We absolutely loved how the house was just a few feet from the water! It had a boat ramp with dock making it super convenient for swimming, boats, and jet skiing.
We loved this property and would definitely consider it again. I enjoyed sitting on the deck and reading while my son kayaked and he and his dad fished. Great communication.
We enjoyed our stay. From kayaking, to fishing, or chilling by the fire reading my book. We loved every second. Pamela communicated everything well, her home was lovely, this was one of my favorite stays. Thanks again for letting us enjoy your home.
Host was very helpful! We have family in the area and will stay here again!

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.
