The community clubhouse is available for rental by members ($60 + $50 deposit), offering a full kitchen and indoor/outdoor lakefront space. Pet lovers will appreciate the neighborhood dog park, and golf cart owners will feel right at home with holiday parades and regular rides around the neighborhood. Come experience the Lake Shore lifestyle—where every day feels like a getaway.
