Luxury Lakefront Home on South Lake Lanier - 2 Slip Party Dock with Deep Water
Welcome to the uncompromising standards, unique amenities and grace of Bluewaters Manor. We call this 5,000 square foot home a manor because of its charming design featuring shake shingles, tongue and groove ceilings and exposed beams, all in a wonderfully uplifting theme of white and cream with tasteful touches of blue. The property has a private two-level party dock, and we enjoy views of the lake from all of the main areas of the home as well as the patio.
The main level of the home, which steals your heart when you enter, entices you back to the outdoors through any of eight sets of sliding and French doors. The patio welcomes you with abundant seating and a stainless outdoor grilling area as you catch your second views of Lake Lanier.
Follow our gentle walkway to the large two-level party dock and you know where the liveliest fun will be! Here the water is always deep, the toys are plentiful and the seating is both shaded and sun-drenched. The double deck party dock is the heart of all the summer fun with abundant, stylish and comfortable sectional seating, numerous oversized umbrellas to provide shade on the top dock, and a lower level for lazing in the shade and breeze while watching the kids frolic in the lake. The views from the dock are open and lovely, the water is cool, the dock comfortable and the source of many hours of lake delight. We have a slip available for your own boat if you bring it. And, you can fish from the dock.
Wake up to a private patio or deck for your morning coffee or join the group back on the main patio, already awash in the first morning rays. The coffee is abundant with coffee for 24 from the first brew and you can sip it delighted in the knowledge that you get to do this again and again.
In the kitchen, you will find two spaces-one more for entertainment with its immense granite island, ice maker, four refrigerators and a bar for either coffee or cocktails around the corner. The second space with a third dishwasher, stove with indoor grill and second sink is more a prep area leaving the primary area open for gathering. The kitchen is equipped with everything we need and with everything you want. Everything matches. Everything works. Everything is handy.
There are four separate sitting areas in the home so that everyone can nestle into their own space when togetherness needs a break. Each of these areas is comfortable in its own way. The main living room has walls of windows overlooking the lake, an electric fireplace which you can use only for ambiance (and no heat) if you like, and HDTV and DVD. This area easily seats 8-10. The upstairs nook adjacent to the Teen Suite has a 50-inch HDTV and DVD player and is comfortable for a cozy group of five or six. The upstairs Sitting Room, possibly the most amazing room of the house, has two walls of windows looking down over the lake. It, too, has its own HD flat screen TV and DVD player, as well as a private bath. And the teens can hang out in their teen suite sitting area.
Once you decide to venture away from Bluewaters by boat or car, you will find everything you need close by--watersports (12 passenger pontoon boats, 2014 Sea Doo Sparks, paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, wake boarding and even Fly boarding and Hover boarding!), shopping, restaurants and night life.
Great golf is minutes away at the Legacy on Lanier Golf Club. The club represents a return to the Golden Era of Golf- a period from the early to mid 1900’s when designers created some of the most storied courses in the world. Created by renowned designer Billy Fuller, Legacy on Lanier Golf Club offers stunning views of Georgia’s Great Lake. An unrivaled golf experience, the layout traverses a natural setting with twelve scenic holes on the water. Legacy on Lanier Golf Club offers tactical challenges for the avid golfer while not proving too daunting for the casual golfer.
Quaint and historic Flowery Branch is minutes away. There you will find antiquing and a delightful candy store reminiscent of something from the turn of the century.
Groceries, gas, Target shopping are all conveniently bundled together and only ten minutes from the house. Everything is far enough away that you feel peace and quiet at home, but close enough that you will enjoy immense convenience and waste no time getting to and from.

Ms. Helms was a wonderful host, very welcoming. The home was immaculate and fully stocked with anything you could need. You literally could just get a few groceries and have everything else needed for your stay. I appreciate that she was always quick to answer any questions quickly and was very accommodating. We have stayed in many homes throughout the country and internationally, but I will say this is one of the best. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for luxury accommodations that still manage to be very comfy and family-friendly.
Beautiful lake view property. The setting was peaceful, well maintained, and perfect for our family. The views are stunning and the location is convenient while still feeling private. Clean and spacious property. We will be back. A great place to stay.
I cannot express my gratitude enough to Kandi for her incredible service during our stay at her property. Thank you for going over and beyond to ensure that our family would find a refuge and peace while gathering together during our stay.Your home is absolutely beautiful and all the details to attention that were done to ensure our stay be the best possible experience was truly appreciated.
This is such a beautiful property, so well appointed and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My favorite being the beautiful views of Lake Lanier from almost every window in the back of the house. Kandi was amazing to work with. We will definitely be back.
The house was everything we wanted for a long weekend with family. Dock is gorgeous, house feels luxurious and is particularly well suited for kids. The best part though is the very gracious host who ensures easy communication. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic large family venue
For our family of 16, Bluewaters was the perfect spot. We spent many hours in and on the lake. We were a short car or boat ride from many activities and the lake was perfect for swimming or lounging. The owner is delightful to work with and provides everything you could want or need.

Wonderful property with lake Lanier right in your backyard
We rented this house over Labor Day weekend and had the most wonderful experience! The house has an awesome, very open floor plan, but the many bedrooms were tucked away with the perfect amount of privacy. 10/10 would recommend

Amazing Memorial Day Weekend to celebrate my son's high school graduation
We had such a great time and highly recommend staying here! Betsy has thought of everything and the home is absolutely beautiful. We have stayed in several different rental properties in different places and this was definitely the best and we hope to be able to stay here many more times in the future. Thank you Betsy so much for making our Memorial Weekend/Graduation celebration a wonderful memorable occasion.

We had a wonderful time at this property. It’s in a great location on the lake, close to marinas and in a cove great for swimming off of the dock. The home itself is very thought out and beautiful. We spent a lot of time lounging in the outdoor space and cooked most of our meals in the house since the kitchen was so spacious and equipped with high quality appliances. We didn’t need anything during our stay but Kandi was great at checking in to be sure we were well taken care of.
We loved our stay in this wonderful home on the lake. Despite the bad weather, we had plenty to do. The home is beautifully furnished and easily accommodated our family. We enjoyed gathering in the large kitchen/living room area and upstairs in the bunk/game room. The views of the lake were fantastic. The kitchen was very well stocked with anything you would need to bake or cook a gourmet meal. Definitely plan to book again (hopefully with nicer weather)!

Thank you Melissa. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Bluewaters. We look forward to welcoming you back when the weather is nicer.
Great living space and kitchen, lot of sleeping quarters, beautiful house overall, dock was great to have for boat rental, However dock was covered in spiderwebs, and dock and porch furniture and floats were worn and dirty, thus 4 stats

Outstanding!
One of the coolest properties we have rented on VRBO - We did not need anything once we arrived, every detail was taken care of. I would highly recommend this property. Only draw back is a power line is close to the home at no fault to the owner and water at this location on the lake can get very rough, especially on a holiday but we would definitely rent again.

Thanks for being our guests! One of the givens of being on a point on Lake Lanier is that is where they cross the lake with their power. The line is very high above the house and lake so not a concern at all to us or our guests. The benefit though, is that trees must be cleared under these areas; while no other trees can be cleared on the lake. In the summer when all the trees are leafed out, this means we have a water view and most other homes can only see trees from their homes. Lemonade :)
We look forward to having you back!

We stayed at Bluewaters this past long weekend as we were in town for a horse show. Our crew stayed with us in this beautifully decorated home. The parking is a bit tight but we had 2 dually trucks. Cars are fine. The view a beautiful as well. We plan on coming back end of summer for another show and would definitely stay here again. It was cold so we could not get to enjoy the outdoors and boating. Can't wait to come back in the summer and enjoy this perfect home with warmer weather. You can't go wrong with this home, VERY comfortable and roomy.
We rented this property with our family so we could attend my brothers wedding in Sugar Hill. There was more than adequate space! The teen suite was wonderful! My nephews enjoyed the bunk beds and the gaming system. The kitchen was well equipped as well. The dock was very entertaining as my nephews really enjoyed fishing. We all enjoyed sitting out on the deck!
Thank you Kandi for keeping in communication with us! It was very easy to find, and check-in and check-out were easy.

About the host
Hosted by Kandi Helms
Because this is our home, not a rental unit, we treat it as such. We work on the house all the time we are in it to upgrade the charming details of the home so that we are sure you will feel overwhelmed with tasteful comfort. If you like the photos you see here, you can safely assume that the home is even lovelier with more upgrades than the photos can keep up with. Bluewaters stole our hearts in a moment. Then we went to work to enhance everything we could to prepare it for your visit. The towels are new and soft, the sheets are new and lovely, the flatware matches as does the china and glassware. This is what you want from a home--not a house. This home has all the charm of a cottage with all the space and amenities of a spacious and modern home. We welcome any ideas you may have to help you enjoy your next stay at Bluewaters Cottage!
