We have a family of 6 Adults and 3 kids and a dog. This home was like being home but steps away from the beach, Arnolds Park and everything that Okoboji has to offer. Our family had a wonderful time at this home. We had a newborn and toddler with us and the rooms are perfect for naps. They have 3 rocking chairs available, it was so helpful!!! Nadine is a great host!

Great Location for Fun

A great spot in Arnold's Park, short walking distance from the amusement park. Also walking distance from boat rentals, jet skis, fishing guides, restaurants... everything. The property looks small on the outside, but has lots of space for a couple families. We hope to stay here again.

Family stay

This house is close to the boat ramp, and there were docks in a short walk to load and unload people, which was nice. It was also super close to Arnolds Park and the attractions around that. The house was nice for 2 families as it had separate living space upstairs and downstairs.

Wonderful neighborhood to walk, public sidewalk and dock right along the water at Pilsbury Point. The space was much more than enough for our family of 4. Could have easily fit 2 families.

Our group has many different interests, from golf to fishing to walking to the beach. There's no even Pickleball courts close by! Great hosts. We would definitely stay here again.
