Glass Octagon /Waterfront Villa /Lake of Ozark

Loved the location! Just inside the no-wake zone in an arm of the lake, but near enough to see the main channel. Used the lowest martini deck a lot to hang out and watch the lake, as well as get in the water and cool off. Loved seeing the wildlife (had more than one visit from a Mallard couple). We also used the uppermost deck to eat breakfast one morning, instead of trying to find another restaurant, while being squawked and twittered at by birds in the trees all around us (which I loved).

The villa was plenty spacious for four adults, with yet another bedroom that could have been used. Three bathrooms was plenty. Loved the full kitchen, which we used to make our own breakfast. The brown pelican carving in front was pretty nice.

I can't give the rental 5 stars for a couple of reasons. Reason #1 is that, although the place was very clean, the windows hadn't been cleaned in awhile. Very disappointed, considering the floor-to-ceiling windows were a draw to this villa. Just the windows--everything else seemed perfectly clean.

A very minor point--all pictures here seem to be for another villa similar to ours, but not our exact one. Not a big deal, but a tad misleading. For instance, no BBQ grill on the deck...I'm assuming they are all pics of the neighboring villa, which we could see from the parking area, and through the trees. Another minor point, and something not within the owner's control, is that the lake level seemed to be low, so using the ladder to get into the lake was a necessity. No jumping in!

All in all, we enjoyed our stay very much--just wish the windows had been cleaner!

We enjoyed our stay at the Octagon. The lake views are great. The neighborhood was quiet (offseason). The restaurants and bars were nearby, good, and easy to get into. Very peaceful. The dock and decks are very nice and would be good for any couple or group.

The owner was wonderful. He allowed us to check in with NO notice, and helped us with the online check in. He checked back to see that all was well with our stay.

I held back 1 star because the place could use a little sprucing up. We would definitely return.

We have rented this property over and over again because it feels like home. It is so comfy and clean and you can not beat the view! One of the things we love the most is being able to bring our pets, they are family and it wouldn't be vacation with out them so that means a lot. We love eating outside on the decks and the Wi-Fi is a great plus as well. The bedrooms are so big, with very comfortable beds, plenty of drawer space and great flat screen tv/dvd players. We always feel so relaxed there and sad to leave, we will be back again and again : )

I have stayed in these villas multiple times and they are perfect for a family getaway. Plenty of space for everyone and plenty of bathrooms! All the amenities of home. But what really makes these villas special is the lake access from the awesome docks. Just steps to the private docks and the water from the villa. ANy questions I need answered about the properties are quickly answered by the owner Mr. Kottman.

There a some minor repairs/sprucing up that could be done to the properties but nothing major.

This property is right on the lake with a "martini deck" for sunning and enjoying. House is a unique, glass surrounded octagon in a neighborhood of similar units, with great amenities. Nice, usable kitchen. Lake views from every room. It is advertised as pet friendly and really is! Secluded neighborhood with excellent restaurants in the area. We had a great stay and will definitely return!
