About this house rental
Welcome to “Calm Water Cove”.
This home is the perfect getaway for you and your family at the Lake of the Ozarks where there is something for everyone to enjoy.
This home is located in the back of a small cove off the main channel just off of mile marker 5 on the popular North Shore. This home is beautifully decorated and gives you a coastal cottage feel which invites you to relax and settle in for a great vacation.
The house is close to the water for easy access to the large dock which has both a swim deck and a sun deck. You can have hours of fun doing activities off the dock including swimming, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and playing on the Aqua Lily – all provided for your use! And don’t worry about filling up your suitcase with a bunch of beach towels – we have those for you too! Even though we are a short distance from the main channel, the water in the cove is calm and safe for swimming.
Brought your own boat or planning to rent one? We have a great 28 ft x 9 1/2 ft covered boat slip on the dock available for your use. By water you are just a short boat ride away to some local hot spots such as Boathouse Lakeside Bar and Grill, Shady Gators, Neon Taco, and Docknockers. We have parking for 2 vehicles directly in front of the house, and parking nearby for additional vehicles and boat trailers for a small fee.
When you feel like staying on dry land, enjoy the beautiful deck overlooking the lake which is located right next the gazebo. It is a peaceful place to relax and enjoy your morning coffee or your evening cocktail. Or move on over to the large hammock for an afternoon nap.
Preparing meals is easy to do with our fully stocked kitchen complete with drip coffee pot, Keurig coffee bar, griddle, pots, pans, knives, cooking utensils, etc. We also have 2 refrigerators to keep all of your food and beverages cold. Located off of the kitchen is a Weber propane grill ready for you to grill out on the deck. There is plenty of seating for everyone both indoors and outdoors. The kitchen has a large table to seat 8-10, with an additional 4 seats at the bar. Finish off your meal with s’mores roasted in the fire pit down by the lake.
There are three bedrooms that are each furnished with a queen bed, and the bunk room has double bunk beds which consist of Twin over Twin bunks and a Twin over Full bunk bed. There is also a pull-out sofa if you need an extra space to sleep and a pack n play provided. This home is best suited to sleep a maximum of 8 adults. We have a washer and dryer with detergent and dryer sheets available for your use.
If it happens to rain, we have plenty of indoor activities to keep you busy. There are plenty of board games, cards, Wi-Fi and 5 TVs throughout the house so you can stream your favorite movies.
If you are looking for activities that don’t involve the water, head into nearby town to walk the iconic strip by Bagnell Dam and do some shopping or dining at many of the local restaurants and bars. Also close by is an outlet mall, go carts, golfing, and grocery stores.
With a relaxing location and beautiful setting, Calm Water Cove is the perfect place to visit any time of year. Come and stay with us for Easter, spring break, summer vacation, or on a crisp fall weekend when the leaves are changing. This is a beautiful home, and we can’t wait to have you as our guest!

It was our first time to the lake and this property was perfect. We’re already planning on staying again in the future.

We enjoyed the house very much! Had 6 adults and 5 children with plenty of room. The kids loved using the aqua lily off the dock and trying the paddle board and kayaks within the cove. We were there Monday through Friday and the lake and cove were very quiet early in the week. Only started seeing neighbors late on Thursday. We should have bought fire wood early in the week because it rained a bit and everything was wet so we couldn't get a fire going for smores our last night.

The house was great. 2 families with teenagers. 2 rooms in lower level that the kids stayed in and 2 rooms on main level for the adults. Lots of space and big kitchen table for all to eat and play games. Great dock to fish or float in the cove. Overall a great time was had by all and the house has almost all you need.

We had so much fun at this home on Lake of the Ozarks! Our family loved the calm cove and the large dock for swimming. The lilly pad and kayaks added adventure and we rented a pontoon one day to explore the rest of the lake. This house is lovely and had everything we needed to make meals and grill. There were many great places to sit outside and enjoy the lake and the views. The owners provided many extras and everything we needed. One of the best VRBO’s we have stayed in!

We had such a great vacation, staying at Calm Water Cove. We are a family of 6 and allowed some of our kids to bring friends. Comfortably slept 8.
Great area, perfect dock for swimming, kayaking, tanning, etc.
House had everything we could need. From kitchen supplies, to S’mores ingredients, beach towels, and so much more. I personally appreciate having nice shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap, etc - felt just like home. Will definitely plan to stay again.

A group of 10 (4 adults / 6 children) of us stayed here and we had a blast. The house was cozy and relaxing, the outdoor space was plentiful and quiet, and the kids had a blast with the kayaks. We would recommend this house and would definetly be coming back in the future.

Our family had a great time while staying in the lake house. We prepared most of our meals at home and the kitchen was well equipped. There was plenty of room for our larger family to dine together. We enjoyed coffee on the beautiful lake front deck in the mornings and ended each night with a fire (we brought our own wood). The kids fished a lot, but didn’t catch much. They really enjoyed the kayaks, floats, and water Lilly pad. Lots of good perks included with this stay, even life jackets provided. There were 11 of us and enough room for all. The house was clean and provided us all the necessities. We would certainly stay here again.

Our group of 8 had a great stay here. The dock is large and the area is perfect for floating and paddling without a lot of boat traffic. The house came with everything we needed to make all our meals, store leftovers, etc. The beds were comfortable, there were lots of towels and good toiletries provided, and we all enjoyed our time here!

We loved Calm Water Cove! This was our first time to Lake of the Ozarks. There were activities for everyone—we rented a boat for tubing & cliff jumping. Some shopping & restaurants on the Bagnell Dam strip The Lake is peaceful to float around the cove or hang out on the dock. I found this beautiful property to be just as advertised.

We had a fabulouse stay at Calm Water Cove. There were 11 of us, including 7 kids ages 1-13. The cove was perfect for swimming off the dock, using the lily pad, etc. We brought our boat and were able to easily access the lake and restaurants. The 4 bedrooms allowed for plenty of room for everyone to sleep. We appreciated all the included amenities so we didnt have to worry about packing towels, toiletries, soap, etc. We had a great stay and would love to return!

Great place but parking is horrible. This was our 2nd booking and because of the parking we don't think we ill rent this location again.

We were amazed at how well stocked the home was, including alot of little "extras" that really made you feel welcomed. We've stayed at alot of places that claim to be well stocked but these guys really went above and beyond! The house just had a cozy warm feel and the boat dock was an extra bonus for fishing and kayaking. We didn't catch many fish but it was relaxing just sitting down on the dock. My Husband and I had a very nice long weekend getaway here. Would highly recommend!

Calm Water Cove is a beautiful, cozy lake house! It is nicely decorated and furnished……we had everything we needed. The 3 1/2 bathrooms are very nice! Beds are comfortable! We also enjoyed the outside areas! The house and deck is well maintained! We also tried out the kayaks….we all loved it!! I highly recommend Calm Water Cove……you won’t be disappointed!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Adorable home and well stocked for an enjoyable experience! The cove is just as described with an awesome dock which allowed you to find sun or shade any time of the day. There were multiple tables and chairs on the decks in various locations that also were great with the sun/shade. The home was very clean, well maintained,, and beds and bedding very comfy. We had no issues with regulating the air conditioning systems, however the owner’s response from the august review was very helpful. The use of the kayaks, life vests, and beach towels is a great amenity. Kitchen was well stocked and an extra gas bottle was supplied for the grill. The upstairs hall bathroom tub/shower had very reduced water pressure,. Other than that, it was an incredible home and a wonderful experience!

We fell in love with Calm Water Cove based on the pictures and overall the experience did not disappoint. There was plenty for all to enjoy as far as games, water activities and tv (not that we were there to watch tv, but we did have a bit of a rainy day that was spent mostly inside and multiple tv options panned out well for our crew). The house was very cute and had plenty of room to accommodate our two families (4 adults, 6 kids ages 10-17). We brought spares of things like hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, etc, but enough of everything was provided, so that's a win! Unloading and reloading vehicles was a bit of a workout as the house is built on a hill and there is no way to drive up to the door - we did break a little sweat while getting our steps in during that process, but we probably needed it anyway;). One of the neighbors was a little grouchy and it did feel like they were watching us at times. For the sake of unloading only (we had planned to move it immediately after unloading), we pulled a vehicle up so the back end was at the top of stairs. In doing so, we were too close to the neighbor's driveway and they came out to tell us we couldn't be there. It is clearly marked and we were at fault, so we take responsibility for that. We were also told to "keep it down" while emptying recycling into the outdoor garbage at 8:45 one morning and several times while we were enjoying the dock, they seemed to be lingering around watching us as opposed to actually enjoying their own space. The upstairs showers could use a little work. The main bathroom shower had very little water pressure and it was hard to find a happy medium between hot and cold. The master bedroom shower wasn't draining very quickly so water was pooling in the tub while showering. The only other suggestion we might offer would be to add a second grill or replace the current one with something a little bigger. Certainly not a deal breaker, but when grilling for 10 people, the current grill is a little on the small side. Overall, we enjoyed out time in Clam Water Cove! It was a great spot for our needs and intended use. We would highly recommend it to others looking for a quiet get-away (given the neighbor situation, we would not recommend it for as a "party place" (ie. girls/boys trip, bachelor/bachelorette party).

We absolutely loved our stay! The location in a quiet cove with a private dock was excellent. We rented a boat for one of the days, and hung out in the cove another day using the provided kayaks, paddle board, & lilly pad. We ate all but one meal in the house due to little ones and a 25 minute drive through windy roads to most restaurants. House has everything you need. The only negatives were that a lot of dishes and pots/pans weren't very clean, but that is another guest's fault, not the owner's. And we found the bedrooms got warm our first night (80 degrees on our baby monitor) so we had to leave doors open at night and utilize the fans to get the rooms cooler the following night. All in all, a great little gem that we would happily return to!

This property is exactly as described. We arrived to a cute welcome basket with goodies and an adorable house to enjoy for the weekend. The water is perfect and safe for swimming without worrying about a lot of waves from boaters. Perfect location and close to everyplace we wanted to go. Family had a great time! We will likely try to rent this same location next year for our annual Ozarks Family Trip!

We just completed a 3 day stay at the Calm Water Cove and I could not be more satisfied with the property and overall experience. We rent several properties through VRBO every year and I can absolutely say this one was the best managed out of all we have ever rented. It's the attention to detail that made the difference. From the detailed information package, to labeling all the cabinets and drawers so you can easily find things, to providing towels to help limit packing, to providing water toys, etc...it was apparent Rick and Allison take pride in their property and ensuring their guests have an stress free time. We would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location!!
This spot was perfect for the two families that stayed with a total of 6 kids ages 2-7. Waters were calm back in the cove so we were able to swim right off the dock with the little kids. There was a lily pad and even had a little splash pad setup that the kids LOVED! Everything was fantastic from the calm cove waters, close boat ride to restaurants, organization of the house and amenities. We would definitely book this again!

House and location perfect
8 of us adults stayed here. The house was great for us all, the dock was awesome! We spent 90% of the day swimming, kayaking, and floating around! Would definitely rent this house again. It had everything thing we needed in the kitchen for grilling and making our food for 3 days. We did bring our own condiment stuff, as each guests has to empty the fridge when leaving. The house had 2 adult kayaks and we brought 2 also so us 4 ladies could go the same time. We loved having the Lilly pad to hang onto in the water and get on also. The neighbors were all friendly down on the lake part also. Great house!

A lovely getaway
My family traveled with our 2 children (7 and 5) and our friends with their children. We had a great stay with lots of boating and relaxing. The house was gorgeous and we felt right at home. Allison was a wonderful host and she was easily accessible when we had any questions at all. The dock was amazing to float in and the cove is quiet. We will definitely be back!

The Perfect Relaxing Getaway
We've rented here twice now for spring break we couldn't be happier with it. It's a quiet, peacefull little cove. The kids love using the kayaks on the lake and the parents love watching them and just relaxing with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. We'll definitely be coming back. The kids are already asking when!

Thanksgiving Getaway
This house was great for our large family of 8! Plenty of space. Pictures and description were completely accurate. We went during off season so didn't get to do any lake activities but found plenty to do indoors. We had some issues with the water pressure and the owners were very prompt in their reply and offer to repair. This house was quite a ways away from the main area, lots of windy roads (which wasn't good for our 3 car sick family members), and very dark at night. Overall, we loved the placed!

We had a wonderful weekend at Calm Water Cove. It was a perfect setup for our 3 families. The house exceeded our expectations and is very well managed / cared for. The extra touches (s’mores supplies especially) were lovely! Thank you for having us, we would love to return next year.

Great Location!
Perfectly quiet cove, as advertised. Easily accommodated 9 adults. We loved the open concept of the house and its decor. We enjoyed swimming and fishing off the dock, and all the water toys available. Thanks for opening your home for us and for allowing us to celebrate my mother’s 80’th birthday.

Beautiful home in the lake
If I could buy a whole lake house decorated and all, indoor lay out, outdoor spaces, dock,etc, this would be it. Period. Amazing place, perfectly decorated, perfectly comfortable, and as hosts they really have everything at hand. We had so much fun, it's SO beautiful, loved having the kayaks and Lily pad. Don't hesitate BOOK IT!
