Sandy Beach on Cove Lake Front House - Big Yard, Dock & Natural Sandy Beach

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.

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).

We had another great stay at this beautiful home. It’s wonderful for a large family like ours to have a weekend together. Some noted improvements from our last stay were more outdoor seating and a lovely paver landing at the bottom of the back deck stairs. We enjoyed mild weather, and used the volleyball net and fire pit each evening. Thank you again for another great stay!

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 location of this house is excellent

The location of this house is excellent less than 10 minutes from a Publix and some nice restaurants and yet it has a feeling of isolation and peace and quiet. Easy access to the lake flat backyard a sand beach the house fit our family perfectly there were three master bedrooms with eOn suite bathrooms, plus the bunk room plus one small bedroom off of the bunk room with a Queen bed in it. A bathroom for the bunk room and a half bathroom downstairs a nice ping-pong table plenty of kitchen utensils and a beautiful back porch with ceiling fans to enjoy the view. We had a little dilemma in the beginning the hose to the gas grill had been chewed to pieces by a squirrel, and the stove would not heat to temperature. The owners communicated effectively and had repair people out there the first of the week to take care of it. We were forced to go out to dinner the second night because we had nothing that worked to cook on, and they very graciously reimbursed us for the cost of the dinner
Plenty of room for a family of 11, three married couples, a grandma and four children ages 11 to 17. And they very graciously accepted us bringing our dogs. Who loved the lake and the big flat backyard to play in
View from the back porch was delightful

Your Sandy Cove Lake House was beautiful and was exactly as advertised. Plenty of room for my entire family (6 adults and 4 kids). Access to the lake was very easy as the backyard is gently sloping. Everyone loved the house and we would definitely recommend it to others.

Pictures Don’t Do It Justice!

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 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!

Incredible lakefront experience

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.

Best place for fun family memories

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.

Family Haven @ Lake Oconee

This property cannot be fully appreciated until you get there. The pictures do not do it justice. It’s absolutely beautiful and a showstopper! It was our first trip to Lake Oconee and we traveled with family from all over the country. We had 16 in our group with ages ranging from 10 months to 73 years. There was something there for everyone to enjoy! The kids loved the toys, video games, beach, and dock, while the adults enjoyed the sprawling open spaces, comfy king beds, and outside sitting areas! The Publix was only 10 minutes away and Mellow Mushroom was 5 minutes away!! We were drawn to this home specifically for the beach entry to the lake. It was the only home we could find that didn’t have a straight drop off into the lake. This was very important to us since we were traveling with very young children! It was an absolute must for us! We rented a double decker boat with a slide from Young Harris Water Sports one of the days and it fit perfectly at the home dock. It was so convenient to be able to pick up and drop off family members throughout the day! We’ve never done a lake trip as a family before. We usually do beach trips! Now we want to be lake people. We were on Realtor.com all weekend trying to find a place like this home that was available to buy. We loved it that much! This home will now be our go to for all future Lake Oconee trips! Thank you Tammy and Steve for being wonderful hosts and sharing your gem of a home with us!! 😊
