What is different about this vacation rental than the many others in Tan Tar A Estates?  First  of all, this Lake view is sure to be the most impressive you have/will see(n) at the Lake of the Ozarks.  The rails are glass so that nothing blocks the breathtaking view, you will feel like the boats are driving under you as they pass by!  The decks are safe and sealed off so kids and pets are perfectly safe.  The view from inside the living room tops almost every other view in Tan Tar A,  so you can sit in the air conditioning and enjoy the lake view.  The upper-level sun deck has an 8-mile view, chaise lounges, and a protective metal railing all around.  The next impressive feature is that it is the only rental house in this section of the estates.  You won't have to worry about being bothered by a noisy neighbor or out of control party next door.   Many vacation rentals are located right next to, or are between multiple other vacation rentals.   The neighbors are full time residents and are very welcoming.  There are no steps from parking to the first level, there is no reason for elderly, limited mobility, or small children people to have to go upstairs, this is a main level living home.  The third feature that makes this home different is the boat slip in the calm, safe,  protected harbor with a minute walk away from the house.  A boat dock on the main channel is virtually worthless in the summer because of the main channel rough water.    The picture may show a glass like lake and a boat dock, but a main channel dock is not a safe environment for anyone, children especially.  Our boat slip in always calm, smooth, and a great place to access the lake.  The Large cove is safe for children to canoe, kayak, fish and swim.  The golf cart makes the trip to the dock a fun experience and makes it easy to haul coolers and gear.  The final feature of this house is something harder to put into words, but this home has a "warm" feeling that will make your vacation truly relaxing.  The home feels very private, you will love how everyone can spread out and relax.  The wood sunroom is a perfect place to read a book and enjoy your morning coffee.   The kitchen has Italian tile counters and all new brilliant white appliances with a double wall over for large meals and opens to a truly massive dining room table.  There is a small dining table in the kitchen as well.   The living room has an electric fireplace and a large section sofa for movie nights.     4 of the rooms have king beds, we also have rollaway bedding, and a sleeper sofa.  The upstairs master has a great view and a private bath with a jetted tub.  The other room has 2 full over full bunk beds and it's own private 3/4 bath (new in 2021).  The downstairs master has a no step shower for those that may need it.   The hot tub is totally private, no one can see in but you still have a Lake view.   It has been rumored that some might have chosen to go bathing suit optional at times!   A 4 seater golf cart is included with the home rental. The home comes with use of boat ramp and trailer parking.   You can always rent a boat at Tan Tar A marina as well as personal water craft, parasailing, etc.     Margaritaville has so many entertaining options now, it is truly a great place to hang out.  You are welcome anywhere on the property, the outdoor pools and waterslide are free to all, and you can enjoy drinks and appetizers at all of them.  The indoor water park, the indoor pool, horseback riding, golf, mini-golf, and spa are all reasonably priced.  Pet-friendly (non-refundable deposit) with small doggie doors   Travelers who cancel at least 30 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel between 14 and 30 days before check-in, they'll get back 50%.  IMPORTANT: Parking is limited at most Tan Tar A estates homes. This particular home has parking for 4 in the driveway and 2 in the garage. Most other homes are lucky to have 2 spots. If your group has more cars, you may use the overflow parking just down the street at the West End Pool. We provide a golf cart for this home rental so you may shuttle back and forth as needed. The great thing about having the resort just a short golf cart drive away is you can use it's amenities as much or as little as you like. I like to go to the large waterfront tiki bar and watch people at the pool and the kids enjoying the waterslide, all at no extra charge. I can sit in the shade while watching sports on the TV, and ordering drinks and food. There are restrooms right there as well as a great view of the Lake. The other waterfront option is Landshark, it is a blast and has a pool for kids and pool for grownups as well as a large sandy beach. If you are adventurous you can rent a boat for the day and explore some of the famous waterfront establishments that make the Lake of the Ozarks so unique. Redhead yacht Club, Shorty Pants, Paradise on the Lake, Captain Ron's, Dog Days, and don't forget Backwater Jack's. They are all are a short boat ride away. I can even recommend a few local places that we like to keep secret. There is parasailing, kayaks, paddle boards, all right there for rent. Tan-Tar-A is an amazing resort located on 420 scenic acres, is built for fun family recreation. Tee off on two championship golf courses, built for players of all skill levels. There are eight restaurants from fast food to fine dining and seafood.   Escape and relax at the Windjammer Spa, a relaxing massage sounds nice, right? Try my favorite, the "Pure Luxury" package that includes a  Manicure, Pedicure, 1 Hour Facial, Detox Whirlpool, Sea Salt Glow, Full Body Paraffin Wrap (4 hours).    If it rains, go to Jolly Mon Indoor Water Park. It has over 600 feet of water slides,  an over-sized whirlpool, and a lazy river for tubing, activity pool, and floating. There is a three-story wilderness tree house with slides, water blasters, bridges,  tunnels, and a safe and fun 600-gallon tipping bucket!  You can also go bowling at the resort, the bowling alley has 8 lanes, 4 of which are set up for bumper bowling. 3 dollars to bowl! The Fin City arcade is state of the art and you can exchange tickets for prizes.  When the rain stops, go horseback riding or head to the full-service marina for everything from paddle boarding to PWCs, even rent a boat for the day!  (extra fees apply) The area has many wineries, every dining option you could ask for, amazing fishing, outlet shopping, many natural attractions like 2 state parks and multiple caves to explore. The new kid friendly 4 level ropes course on the strip looks really fun.   You can float rivers, rent powerboats, take a dinner cruise, there is even a casino 80 miles away for a day trip.   The new dining options at Margaritaville are plentiful and include Frank & Lola’s Pizzeria & Billiards too (formerly The Food Court), with 12 beers on tap including Landshark, a simple menu of pizza, wings, sandwiches, and salads, six pool tables, two dart boards, shuffleboard, pinball, and arcade games. There will be a Tiki Bar at the Arrowhead Pool as another taste of Margaritaville’s tropical feel is added this year.   The large JB's Boathouse will have a new nautical theme, with bright blues and crisp whites and will offer 12 beers on tap, featuring LandShark Lager, local brews, and the classic favorites. JB's Boathouse Grill is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Within a mile are 2 fantastic waterfront dining options at Redhead Yacht Club and Short Pants Cajun restaurant. Osage Beach has many awesome waterfront dining options such as Dog Days, Backwater Jacks, and Millers Landing. Our property uses a streamlined check-in process, which means you’ll never need to waste time trying to meet up with someone to get your keys. Just follow the easy instructions we will send you 4 days before your arrival.
