Lake Martin Gem! Sandy Beach Kayaks Decks Views

Waterfront 3-bedroom/2-bath home, sandy beach, fantastic boathouse, decks, amenities galore and ‘Big Water’ access. Ideally located near restaurants, stores and 30 minutes from Auburn!
This beauty is custom decorated in Lake Motif, absolutely stunning! Our home offers incredible views of the lake, fully stocked kitchen, 75-inch big screen and TV`s in each bedroom. Relax lakeside on the sandy beach, in boat house, on deck or on the dock. Great swimming and fishing and boat parking!

This beauty has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and sleeps 8 guests. Offering a prime location just 25 miles from Auburn and a gorgeous view of Lake Martin. Our home is brand new! It was just completed in May 2019. The house is custom decorated in Lake Motif, absolutely stunning! Our home offers incredible views of the lake. Our kitchen is fully stocked. In the dining room is a custom built farm table that comfortably seats 10 guests and the kitchen island seats another two.
All bedrooms are beautifully decorated, and each bedroom includes a flat screen TV! The master bedroom is extremely large with a king bed, walk-in closet and private bathroom. The 2nd bedroom has a queen size bed and sitting area. The 3rd bedroom is decorated Americana style, (we love our USA!) It has two sets of bunkbeds. If you are looking for the perfect get away for yourself and your family, then look no further! This is an ideal setting nestled in a private slough close to Chimney Rock, Chuck’s Marina and the Big Water of pristine Lake Martin!
Relax lakeside on the dock or in the massive 1,600 square foot boathouse and pavilion watching the family enjoy the lake. With spectacular views of the sunset and sunrise you will find ample space for you and your family to enjoy all Lake Martin has to offer. And there is plenty of lawn chairs and outside furniture. Your kids, including adult kids, won`t ever get bored!
The property is situated in a private slough directly on the water. This location makes it a safe and relaxing spot for floating and swimming. Very kid friendly. Great swimming area in a safe non- boat traffic area. Secure your boat and PWC in boathouse or on the dock. There is plenty of room for several boats! This home has everything you need for the ultimate lakeside retreat! Great for families, fishing and hunting excursions, a peaceful retreat, attending Auburn Football or other Auburn events.
FYI: We purchased this 2 1/2 acre property with 280 feet of waterfront in 2018. Holiday Cove is a 4-house vacation rental complex on Lake Martin in Dadeville, Alabama. The houses share 2 separate picnic areas with tables, chairs, BBQ grill, private sandy beach, and fire pit. The houses also share a common boat house that will accommodate 4 full-size boats, a pier where 2 boats can tie-up, and a 25’X30’ covered pavilion with plenty of tables and chairs. The boathouse and pavilion provide 1,600 square feet of covered, shaded space. These 4 houses can sleep 46 people. Perfect for large family gatherings! Each house has lake views and lake access. The property is gorgeous!

Awesome Stay!

The house was clean and comfortable! The hosts were super friendly and cery accessible if we needed anything. This is a great location in the cove to get away from the busy lake traffic. Kids can thoroughly enjoy the sand beach with both shallow and deeper water options. We were able to easily dock our pontoon boat as well. We woukd certainly stay here again!

Late Summer - Early Fall get away!

It was the perfect weekend to choose! The weather was perfect, we enjoyed sitting on the porch looking out at the lake, it was cool fresh air! Holiday Cove it set up that if you had a large family and needed more than one place, they have 4 homes within walking distance of each other. It’s just a nice and very clean area. My daughter said to me it was one of the most relaxing vacations she’s had in a while! I would recommend this place to anyone needing a much needed get away!!!!
