The Blue Lagoon Gorgeous renovated Lakefront retreat!

Welcome to our resort-like retreat (5bd/3ba) on the south end of Lake Lanier! Relax and let your stress melt away or create fun family memories. This is our personal vacation home, and we hope you love it as much as we do.

The property provides 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, and a tie-up for your boat or a rental from a nearby marina. Note: Our boat is not available for rent.

🌊 The Lake Experience
The lake is just a short walk away, with deep, clear water and a prime location close to everything. Both the path to the main dock and the dock itself are illuminated at night. We also have a second dock that is fully enclosed, perfect for fishing!

🍴 Dining & Convenience
Grill or cook on your own, or drive 10 minutes to downtown Buford for great food and music. You can also order Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Instacart, all delivered right to the doorstep.

⛳ Nearby Attractions
You’re a short drive or boat ride from Lanier Islands/Margaritaville, where you can golf or visit the water park. If Margaritaville is doing fireworks, you can see them from one of our docks. In the cooler months, enjoy the "Magical Nights of Lights" and "Snow Island" with a 7-mile tour of light displays and holiday attractions.

🚤 Boating & Water Activities
Rent a boat and/or jet skis at Holiday Marina, or bring your own and tie up at our dock (there’s a boat ramp across the cove at Lanier Harbor Marina). Or just sit on the dock and enjoy the gorgeous sunsets on the two swings or provided chairs. You’ll also have access to two kayaks (with backrests) and two paddleboards during your stay on our huge NO-WAKE cove.

🏡 Spacious Home with Personal Touch
Enjoy over 3000 sq feet of wide-open space with lots of privacy and plenty of places to relax. This is our personal home and our only rental, so we aim to provide a personal touch.

Wonderful Home
We so enjoyed our stay at the Blue Lagoon and highly recommend it to anyone considering a Lake Lanier vacation. It is beautifully decorated and a perfect home base as we navigated a week of daily baseball tournaments all around the Atlanta area. It was a great location to unwind and keep the boys off their phones as they enjoyed fishing off the dock, kayaking and paddle boarding not to mention the rope swing they discovered across the cove. The owners were wonderful to work with as well with exceptional communication through out our stay. The kitchen was also very well appointed which the moms truly appreciated! Thank you for sharing this lovely home!

10/10 Experience!
This is a remarkable property for all occasions! I was lucky enough to be here for Thanksgiving and to celebrate a 65th birthday with my family of 6. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, appliances were updated and the entire property was extremely clean and comfortable. Tons of sitting areas so we all felt together but never on top of one another. The Sonos sound system worked flawlessly and allowed us to listen to music in any room of the house and on the dock. We had beautiful weather and really enjoyed the outdoor sitting areas and swinging down by the water. As an added plus, there were tons of hangers in all the closets, the mattresses and sheets were luxurious and the white noise machines allowed for great sleep all around. Would absolutely stay here again!

Spectacular Wedding Weekend!
Listing was accurate. Very quiet neighborhood and No Wake Cove. Loved the woods down to the docks which provided much desired shade and breezes off the water. Everybody loved the beds and sheets! Sound system was off the charts, even down at the dock. Everyone enjoyed kayaking, paddle boards, and swimming right from the dock. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We have a family of 7 adults and had plenty of room. Would highly recommend this property!

Exceeded our Expectations with Amazing Attention to Detail!
Great property for our family with our three married children, their spouses and our babygranddaughter. The location on the lake was great with an open view to a large inlet, and the dock provided a great place for us to moor our tri-toon for the duration of our stay. The house has been totally updated and was tactfully decorated and modern. Everything was of very high quality - TVs, sound system, inside and outdoor furniture, and appliances. The kitchen was small but was very well stocked with everything we could want. The beds were all very comfortable and included very high quality bedding. We used the upper deck extensively, and really appreciated the gate that allowed our dogs to be contained. The deck umbrella was great; of very high quality like everything else! Check-in was easy, and I appreciated the way Britta checked-in via VRBO messaging just to make sure everything was good. We've rented houses for the past several years with our family as well as with friends, and this absolutely the house with the greatest attention to detail of them all - everything was super nice, in great condition and super clean. While we had zero problems during our stay, it was clear that if anything had come up, it would have been addressed immediately. Can't say enough great things about this property. We will absolutely rent again if we come back to Lake Lanier!

No Limits 55th Birthday Getaway!
From the moment I became interested in this property to celebrate my birthday and had a few questions, the host immediately replied. Communication was exceptional and it put my mind and nervous energy at ease because this was the first time I personally booked a stay. Upon arrival, the property was spotless and smelled great. Immaculate is an understatement! Everything you need is in this home: games, essential TV apps, kitchen accessories, peace, quiet, and love. We were able to prepare brunch and literally had everything we needed, cookware, serving utensils, even seasonings. If you need to relax, this is the place to be. If you need to spend quality time with family or friends, this is the place to be. If you want to get away from reality for a few days, this is the place to be. There is literally something to do for everyone. Because it rained, we did not get to use the outdoor fireplace but that's okay, it just means we need to visit again. The only downfall for me was that my friends and I had to leave. Bottom line, I highly recommend!
