Sandy Beach on Cove Lake Front House - Big Yard, Dock & Natural Sandy Beach
Our house is luxurious with unobstructed lake views - Built to enjoy a weekend getaway or a week-long vacation. Dog friendly with a BIG yard to play in and located on a protected cove away from boat traffic, yet only 5 miles from the Publix plaza, movie theatre, etc.
The lake side of the house has private dock for your boat, a 50-foot SANDY BEACH (rare at the lake) in the backyard for super easy access to floating and swimming in the lake. The enormous flat level grass yard is perfect for throwing the football or Frisbee around. There is also a full-size grass volleyball / badminton area in the side yard.
Two large screen TV's in the great room - 50" LCD in game room area with Xbox capabilities and a 65" TV for the main living 42" in the kids bunk room; great for the kids! Smart TVs in 3 of the other bedrooms as well for on demand streaming.
Three King beds (1 upstairs and 2 downstairs); Kids bunk room upstairs has a Queen over Queen bunk bed that sleeps up to 4; as well as 2 Twin beds. There is a 5th bonus bedroom with a Queen bed (accessible through the kids bunk room); a Queen sofa bed in game room area; and 2 Queen size air mattresses if needed. Each King bedroom has its own a private bathroom, while the kids bunk room and the bonus 5th bedroom share a bath, for a total of 4 bathrooms. Our home sleeps 14 guests in beds (not including sofa bed) and we permit up to 16 guests max (in case you have a few extra little ones as well).
The awesome kitchen is open concept so you can be a part of the group and see the lake while whipping up dinner. It has all stainless appliances, including a gas stove top and double oven. Granite and quartz counter tops and wood floors throughout. Adults can enjoy the gigantic deck with a fantastic view of the lake while the kids watch tv or play ping pong inside. There is even a hammock on the deck too. Perfect for afternoon cat naps after a day on the lake.
Public boat ramp less than 1.5 miles from home - bring your Boat or PWC and tie it up to the dock for the week and enjoy the fantastic fishing and boating offered on Lake Oconee. Parking for one boat trailer is available in driveway.
Multiple golf courses are in the area, Great Waters and Reynolds Landing are two favorites...
House is located next to a wooded area on its own 1 1/2-acre lot, and the water is very private on a cove and is perfect for skiing, tubing, and floating!
See you soon!

We had a wonderful time with family while attending a wedding in the area. The house was a great gathering place for adults and kids! Plenty for all to do without being on top of each other! Would definitely stay again!
With enough bedrooms for everyone and access to the lake with our own little beach, our family event was a great success! The large kitchen is well equipped, the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the common areas are open with plenty to do.
We enjoyed our time there very much!
The property was great! We were able to accommodate our large group with everyone having their own space. The living space was large enough for everyone to hang out and the place was super clean. Great communication from owners.
6 of us stayed over the weekend. Lots of games, lots of rooms, and close to our marina. We even pretended we were at the beach with the sandy cove. We will definitely stay here again.
What a lovely home for our girls weekend. Thanks so much for opening your home to us. We loved all the amenities and so much space inside and out. Sitting on the porch and dock were perfect for a relaxing weekend away.
We booked this home for a weekend getaway with family during the holidays. We had dinner reservations at Reynolds which was only about a 15 minute drive from the house. My husband and I have 3 young children so the bunk beds with the bonus room attached was perfect for our family. The views are amazing, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home!
We loved this lake house! It was the perfect set up and size for 2 families. Our kids loved all of the games provided and the bunk room. Plenty of space both inside and outside to relax and enjoy. Sandy beach was nice to have. We will definitely be back!
We loved staying here. Perfect size and location. Tons of fun games for yard or inside. The porch was amazing and the lake so beautiful. We had everything we needed!
Steve was the perfect host and his house was fantastic. We had everything we needed and our family vacation was wonderful. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.
The house is amazing, very clean and extremely family friendly. We had a great, fun weekend with our children and grandchildren! Host was available for questions and responded quickly! Everything perfect l!
Perfect in every way. Perfect lake house for small children. The kids swam in the beach everyday. The owner was wonderful and very responsive. Couldn’t have asked for a better week.
My wife and I spend a week at this wonderful lake home. the property was described as being luxurious and new and it did not disappoint. The host was very accommodating and readily available for any and all questions we had. We plan to return to the area and hope this home is available when we come back. Absolutely a wonderful vacation for us!!!!
We had an amazing stay at this property! Our family of 15 enjoyed plenty of space, allowing us to spend quality time together without feeling cramped. The house and property were well-maintained. The dock was comfortable accommodating our two boats and making it easy to get in and out of the water. Additionally, any questions we had were promptly and professionally answered. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would recommend this property.
Great for multi generation family lake vacation. Adult Bedroom/Bath set up is perfect- all with great mattresses! Kids Quarters is amazing too! Beach entry play area provides all day relaxation and large yard is great for family fun! House is well stocked with both indoor and outdoor games/activities. Kitchen is I’llideal for cooking family style meals.
We stayed here for my son's wedding. It was a perfect space for our family. Very spacious with an extremely well-equipped kitchen. The beds were comfortable. The 4 full bathrooms were a plus. And we were able to bring our dogs! We took advantage of the big back porch and enjoyed mornings overlooking the lake. Definitely recommend.
We spent four nights with two groups of friends and their respective families. The house was perfect for our group of 11 (6 adults, 5 teenagers). The property is incredible. The teenagers played football in the backyard and along the waters edge. We all enjoyed lounging in the dock. It was an incredible stay.
Steve (owner) was always available. Highly recommended.
Perfect House on Lake Oconee for a Family Vacation
This house accommodated our extended family of 14. The house was clean, well maintained, and as represented on the listing. The spacious front deck was a popular morning and evening spot for our group.The kids enjoyed the ping pong table, arcade, and fishing off the dock. We were able to rent a boat for the week from a nearby Marina and keep at the dock of the property which allowed us to tour the lake and tube with the kids.The house has modern touches throughout with a huge island in the kitchen. The extra fridge upstairs was also convenient. The property is located only a few minutes away from the grocery store and local restaurants. I would highly recommend this property for families traveling with kids and teenagers. The property owners were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
The property was lovely. The home was very open with several bedrooms to accomodate our 13 member family. There were tons of things for the children and adults to do- of course, the lake, the beach area, games ranging from video to ping pong to giant connect boards. We all loved the fire pit area. It was perfect for us and we hope to come back in the future. Owners were very good at communicating with us so everything went smoothly with check in and check out. Again, we all loved the place!
I rented Sandy Cove for our extended family over Thanksgiving. The home provided our family everything we needed to have a wonderful time. With 8 adults there was plenty of space to spend time both as a group and to spread out and relax. We mad use of the dock, the fire pit, cornhole, the ping pong table, and all of the separate but connected spaces indoors.
We weee able to cook a 13 lbs turkey and had everything needed to heat up all the sides. The kitchen has enough space and counters that no one was on top of each other. We also took advantage of the covered patio and ate Thanksgiving dinner outside. There would have been plenty of space had we alternatively decided to stay indoors.
Finally, it was clear that our hosts put thought into making sure we would have everything we needed. Thank you for making our Thanksgiving this year one we’ll never forget.
Sandy Cove is the perfect place for a large family vacation! We'll talk about for years to come! The flat, ginormous back yard is perfect for playing yard games and even better for young kids to just run around. The beach is perfect for all ages but especially for the toddlers. And the dock was perfect for our boat (Fish Tales Marina is right around the corner and they have a boat ramp and self-serve gas). For our family, everyone had their own space and toilet :) Although, Hurricane Helene had just been through the area, thankfully the weather was perfect, so we were able to spend our days outside and, on the lake, as well as spend our evenings around the firepit or playing ping pong and poker inside. Very convenient to restaurants and grocery shopping. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking necessities and more including a large crockpot. The hosts were great about answering questions before, during and after our stay especially seeing we were visiting right after Hurricane Helene. We will definitely book Sandy Cove when visiting the Lake Oconee area again. Thank you, Tammy and Steve, for sharing your beautiful home.
My family of 11, ranging from 2.5 to 82 years old, stayed for 4 days in March 2025. We were blown away by the size and beauty of this house when we arrived- pictures did not do it justice. It was spotless and fully stocked with all the cooking, eating, and drinking utensils you could need. It also had an excellent selection of family games, both indoor and outdoor, which we enjoyed immensely. The family favorite was the old arcade game system, super cool! The house is set up perfectly for everyone to be together yet separate simultaneously, which is fantastic for big families like ours. The beach at the house was my kids favorite spot, and with all the comfortable seating options we could all enjoy it with them. The location of the house was also perfect. Our favorite activity outside the house was the kayak and boat rental service from Oconee Wild Watersports- can’t recommend them enough for the water sports, customized souvenirs, and delicious subs. Yes, all in one place! We rented a boat for a day which was an incredibly fun experience because we could dock at the house when we needed a short break, and the lake is so so beautiful. We left this vacation feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and planning our return trip for as soon as possible. Thank you again to the owners for sharing their little slice of heaven with us strangers, we truly appreciate everything you put into it and all your little details did not go unnoticed!
We did a good bit of looking before we chose this home for a weekend trip with my grandma. She is in her 80s and the youngest of our crew is 9. EVERY ONE of us absolutely enjoyed our stay here.
Literally no issues, and the layout of the home made it so we could all enjoy each others company, cook together, eat on the porch, etc. My grandma uses a wheelchair except for very short walking distances, and she had no problem navigating the lower floor after assistance entering the few stairs into the home. There was not a ramp entry to my knowledge, but once she was in, it was no trouble for her to get herself around the spacious living areas.
We brought a few kayaks and the kids lived down at the water for the duration, until it was dark, and even then they only moved up to the fire pit.
Everything was clean and well-stocked. We really appreciated a bunk-style room for a bunch of kids, as well as several private rooms for grownups and other bed options as well.
The hosts have been easy to communicate with and were very kind to accommodate a later check out when I needed to drive over an hour away early on checkout morning to provide nursing care to an elderly family member and then return to pick up my family. We really appreciated that flexibility as it meant I didn’t need to get all my kids up and out the door at the crack of dawn.
This is truly a space all ages can enjoy and our whole big family said we would like to come back!
