BEFORE YOU BOOK

Parking:

Only two vehicles may park on the property at any time. (If you have more than two vehicles, a $15/ day permit per vehicle is required, and you must park in the designated parking lot which is NOT within walking distance of the house.).  There is also boat parking at the property, in addition to parking for two vehicles.

Rental Agreement Required: Upon booking please be ready to confirm all guests' names and vehicles entering the community. Only guests whose names are on the registration will be allowed past the gate.

ENTRY: Guests must arrive before 7 pm. Gate hours are from 7a-7p throughout your stay.

Guest Requirements:

Max 8 adults may stay per reservation. (Oak Shores defines an adult as 16+ years old)

Bringing a Boat? :

Prepayment is required prior to arrival. Guests must call the Entrance Gate & have CF# ready along with the trailer’s information for the screening. This needs to be done at least 48 hours before the CHECK IN. You may park the boat and trailer in the driveway or boat parking provided, but you may not park the boat and trailer on the street UNLESS it is still hooked up to a vehicle. Trailer parking at the boat ramp is not permitted. Drop off your party with the boat in the lake, then take the trailer back to the house and park it in the driveway.  There is lake access from the house.

Failure to prepay for a watercraft within this time frame will result in an additional fee of $100.

HOA:

We are located in a prestigious community, so make sure to follow the rules exactly to avoid tickets and fines. Two vehicles max, no pets, and no guests who are not on the reservation list. Guests must arrive during gate operating hours or they will not be able to enter the property. The community is a lake-side community. Lots of boats and wildlife. Please do not pet or feed the deer. They are wild animals.  This is a great neighborhood and is very fun and the residents are super friendly, however, the HOA is incredibly strict, so we ask that you abide by the rules exactly.  If you have any questions, please ask.

Pool:

The Space

Walk up the entry stairs to the front porch, where you'll find comfortable patio furniture and a million-dollar view of Lake Nacimiento.  Use the secure keypad to enter the home.  On the main floor, an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area have been expertly designed and remodeled in 2021.  Beautiful details and original art set this vacation rental apart.  The main floor features three bedrooms, each with a king bed, and one with a primary en suite and sliding glass doors to the back deck. A desk in the primary suite provides a comfortable space if you need to work while on vacation.  Downstairs, you'll find garage access to the left, and a game room to the right with two more "kid rooms" outfitted with bunk beds.  The game room is complete with flat-screen smart TV, comfortable lounge couches, and a Pac-Man arcade game.  This is the perfect place for kids to hang out while the adults are enjoying themselves (and the view) upstairs!  As you drive up, you'll notice ample parking for two vehicles (more than two vehicles must be permitted and parked separately).

The Neighborhood

Oak Shores is a gated lakeside community with resort amenities. The lake view pool and shade deck are located next to the clubhouse on Turkey Cove, overlooking the main marina, and is typically open Easter weekend to Halloween weekend. The playground next to the pool and clubhouse is the perfect setting to bring the kids and grand-kids to play. The 18 hole mini golf course is a favorite among guests.  There's also a pickleball court, small library, and many events throughout the year. There are many HOA rules that are strictly enforced. Make sure to read through your paperwork carefully.
