4bed/3bath Fully Remodeled Nautical Waterfront Home with 25' of Channel waterfront pouring into the famous Mineola Bay in Fox Lake. Located in the heart of Fox Lake and right on the Chain O Lakes. You will be in walking distance of all amenities. Home comes with a bonus apartment above the garage with bar, extra bedroom and bathroom.
Large deck with grill, hot tub (per request with $80 Fee to cover Professional Cleaning and Chemicals between guests. (Subject to winter closures if freezing air temps of icing occurs) & fire pit for the full lake house effect. Each room is Nautical themed for a perfect little get-a-way.
This 2,600 sq ft Nautical home is nested on a .5 acre of waterfront property. Its a short walk down the hill to enjoy 25' of pier waterfront. This house is minutes from all enjoyment on the famous Chain O' Lakes.
The main house is a 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom house. The deck connects the house to the Bonus Apartment, which has a 1/1, or the 4th Bedroom and 3rd bathroom.
Newly added Foosball table in lower level. Do I hear friend or family Foosball tournament??
Guests will be able to access all parts of the house, apartment, yard and garage. The only inaccessible parts of the house are the storage garage and the utility closet in the basement.
If you want to use the Hot Tub, there will be a $80 access and maintenance fee for us to open it up. Professional spa cleaning and chemicals between each use required. (Closed for month of February due to freezing temps and icing - Reopens in March)
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 reserved an extra slip and ramp across the street for our guests compliments of East 92 Bar and Grill. We would not recommend any boats above 25'-26'. (Note - Its a narrow boat ramp, good enough for experienced boaters, but risky for inexperienced dockers.) There is a $50 Ramp and slip access fee for your entire stay.
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.
Communication will be mainly through the AirBNB app, but we will also have our cell phone for Emergencies. We will be available 8am to 10pm daily.
This home has hard to get access to the Chain O' Lakes, and sits in the heart of Fox Lake within walking distance of the downtown area and other amenities for the family. Forgot something? A convenient store is right across the street. Hungry? there are 2-3 restaurants in walking distance? Want a drink? There is a bar across the street. Need some groceries?

Almost everything near the Fox Lake downtown area is within a 5 minute walk, but Uber and Lyft are available for further landmarks and local favorites. Want to go downtown to Chicago? The Fox Lake Train station is 5 minutes away for a day in the city. Want to go by small boat or watercraft, you can do that too here on the Chain O' Lakes.
In the summer, there is central air condition in the main house, but the bonus room has a window air conditioner unit that does a good job keeping it as cool as you want.
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.

Enjoyed everything about this property and had a great time.

Well stocked kitchen with everything needed for preparing meals in. Air conditioning kept the place cool. Lots of extra blankets if needed. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms stocked with shampoo, body wash, etc. Nice little library of books for kids. Clean lodging, and pictures are accurate. Gate latches are a little tricky at first but are fine once you figure out how they work. Host is friendly and very responsive throughout entire rental process.
For those coming with boats: we found out you must have a special $80 Fox Waterway boat sticker to use the lakes or risk getting a big fine.
We used the $25 spot across the street to launch and dock the boat for the entire weekend. It worked well. The launch is steep and narrow, but we were fine. We parked the boat trailer along a tree line on the edge of the bar parking lot. It is visable from the rental.
There is also a dock in front of the rental which is free to use instead (although you still need to launch somewhere else. The bar has a sign offering a $15 launch fee.) You have to "parallel park" end to end between two boats. If your boat is small enough, you are a good driver, and you have a helper, it is doable. However, it is very shallow. (We had to shift people around on the boat as we were bottoming out on one side next to the dock as we approached.) We docked our 20 foot pontoon boat here once during the day just fine. (Longer than that won't fit.)
Nice accommodation. You can't go wrong staying here!

Every year my husband and I along with some friends take a weekend couples getaway. This year we picked Fox Lake, and we lucked out. The house ticked off all of our requirements when looking (at least 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, on/near water, and hot tub)! Willow and Steve are amazing, and it was such a joy meeting them. The boys caught more fish on this vacation than our past vacations and were thrilled.
Thank you for being so responsive and welcoming. Thank you for having such a lovely home for others to enjoy!!!

This was perfect for our family

the description and usage of boat ramp and slip should be reviewed. needs to include the depth of water and outboard motors only. The owner was nice and let us park our SUV and boat trailer there, as he should we paid $25 to use their slip.
We had to make other arrangements at Ben Watts Marina and got the last slip for our length of boat, which also cost more out of pocket. But overall we had a nice stay. Could have your cleaning company brush down all the spiders and webs.
Thanks

Wow!! This place was amazing! It was BEAUTIFULLY decorated in a coastal theme and everything was clean and ready to go. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty room for your stuff. We docked our pontoon across the street and it was so easy to explore Fox Lake! We would definitely stay again!!

Great place to stay with lots of options for everybody! You can go shop and eat, go fishing and swimming, or just relax in the hot tub. This is my go-to place when visiting Fox Lake.

I celebrated my 40th birthday there. The bar room above their garage is awesome. It was nice that it is separate from the house. There was also a small bar across the street, which was tons of fun. The neighbors are very close to the house.

A wonderful place to stay! Super spacious house that is very clean and well maintained. Hosts were super nice and getting in contact with them was no problem. The location is also perfect, only a couple minutes from the lake and quiet neighborhood. Overall a 10/10 stay!
