About this property

Private Boat Ramp, Dock, Pet Friendly, Screen Porch, Firepit, Fish, Kayak, Relax

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.

Perfect house for our family

So many rentals on the lake do not allow dogs so we are limited to those properties. This was perfect in that it is a nice level lot to the lake with a launch which suited our purposes double fold. The ability to launch our boat there and also shallow enough for our dog to play. House had everything we needed for cooking. Definitely will stay again!

Great time at Lake Martin

Our stay was great, the house was nice, great location, kayaks a huge plus, and it was nice they had normal condiments, oil, etc. Other places don’t provide the basics which is frustrating but they had it all.

We loved the property inside and out. The location was near many restaurants and other attractions! A short trip to Auburn for a football game was the icing on the cake for our extended weekend!

Relaxing and Quiet Stay

Enjoyed a quiet and chilled trip with a couple of family members and my dog! We stayed put once we got to the lake house with only a couple of trips to the grocery. There are plenty of outdoor spaces for enjoying the water views, and my dog had a ball with all the swimming and fetching! Pam is an excellent host and quick to respond! The neighbor’s dog greeted us and would stop by on occasion to make sure all was okay!😁 Would definitely come back to this rental property!

About the host

Hosted by Pam Jones

Host profile image
JBar Properties is a family owned business. Kipp and Pam have been married since 1993. Our older daughter graduated from Auburn and the younger one from UGA (football season is fun in our house). We love Slice of Lake Life and are happy to share it with you!

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.
