Discover nautical charm in this newly remodeled 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom vacation rental in the heart of Fox Lake, Illinois. Perfectly positioned on the channelfront to Mineola Bay, this stylish waterfront home offers modern decor and luxury finishes. Enjoy the spacious, private fenced backyard featuring a firepit, gas grill, stunning deck, and your own pier. Whether you’re relaxing on the deck or exploring the bay, this retreat is your ideal getaway for comfort and elegance by the water.

This 1,300 square foot vacation home is nested on a .5 acre of waterfront property. The water is just steps away from the back of the house with your own private pier and backyard. This house is minutes from all enjoyment on the famous Chain O' Lakes.

The main house is a 3 bedroom / 3.5 bathroom house. The patio area is feet away from the waterfront, and an amazing balcony rests on the next level above the water.

Guests will be able to access all parts of the house, yard and garage. The only inaccessible parts of the house are the large storage garage and the utility closet in the basement.

Want some beach time? This property is in an HOA with a private beach on the Bay just a walk away. (Guest Pass required and included in your stay)

Need a boat ramp and slip for your stay? No Problem, we have a boat ramp right next door at Jays Clubhouse, and this property has 1 private slip. We would not recommend any boats above 24'-25'. (Note - Its a narrow boat ramp, good enough for experienced boaters, but risky for inexperienced dockers.)

To drop your watercraft, you can also use the Chain O Lakes State Park ramp, or use local marina ramps for a small fee (recommended).

There is a door camera on the main entry door for your safety and security. There is also a Decibel meter on the property to help keep noise levels under local ordinance levels and keep the neighbors happy.

All communications is through the Vacation Rental platform App. We do have an emergency # on site in the welcome book for the Prperty Managers.

Bring your fishing gear. There is good fishing in Mineola Bay and in channels. Our kids catch large bass, catfish, bluegill and perch right off our pier in the back yard.

This is a popular house for Naval families to visit and cheer on their boot camp grads since it is only a half hour from the Great Lakes Naval base.

This home is designed safe and secure, and is equipped with a Smart Dead Bolt lock that controls check in and check out times, and has a door camera feature to make sure the correct guests are entering our home. All for your safety and to protect our home.

(Winter Alert - Outdoor amenities will be limited in the winter obviously. All of the lawn furniture will have seasonal covers on them, the grill will be covered.)
-This is not safe for swimming here. (It is shallow muddy bottom.)
-Avoid casting fishing lines near the parked boats and wave runners.
-Do Not disturb or approach any of our neighbors’ homes or yards.
