I got the place for the "lakefront" property thinking me and my hubby could lounge on the floats and drink some cold ones and relax. That unfortunately did nor happen as there was an abundance of algae that the locals refer to as "gorilla snot". I was not comfortable getting in the water as it was gross. The townhome was BEAUTIFUL and super clean. The owners were very accommodating and even bought us rafts and noodles to float on but again that water just outside the house is not appealing to dip into with all the overgrowth of algae. If we had our boat or jet skiis it would have been ideal as they have a private boat dock. We ended up driving to another part of the lake and spent another 400 to rent a boat for 4 hours so we could get out in the bigger part of the lake and enjoy the water. We noticed that same algae in most of the coves. If you rent this place, bring watercraft , or a kayak or someway to get to more open water of the lake and you will be PERFECT. I can adapt and overcome and still make the best of any situation but my better half does not have that ability so as soon as he saw that he wpuld not want to float in that water, his mood changed and low key almost ruined his Fathers Day weekend. Thank God I was able to turn it around. This is at no fault of the owner and is a beautuful place with gorgeous views from inside or the deck, the water was the only downside. Would recommend if u dont want to swim OR have your own watercraft to get out of the canal area.
