Gator Joe’s Beach Bar & Grill lake access:

Effective 05/28/2025
This is a short summary of the new policies announced on their Facebook page. As far as we know this is ONLY for the summer months & ONLY for weekend days (Saturday and Sunday)

New Summer 2025 Policies:
• Hours: Beach access is open daily from 10:30 AM to 7:00 PM.
• Weekend Access Fee: It is still free on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, there is now a per-person access fee for the beach (not the restaurant). Wristbands are required and must be paid for in cash only.
• Picnic Table Rentals: Available for $20, includes 4 beach wristbands. (They did not say exactly what the per person wristbands would cost in their post, but judging by the table rental cost including 4 wristbands, I would assume it’s around $5 per person. I am not positive of this though.)
• Tents are no longer permitted on the beach to help optimize space.
• Food and beverage service is available directly to rented picnic tables and nearby guests on the beach.

To keep things running smoothly (and stress-free for everyone), please take a moment to read through these important house rules. They’re simple and help make sure your stay, and the next guests, is fantastic!



✅ The Basics
• 🚭 No smoking inside the house, please.
• 🐾 No pets unless we gave you the OK ahead of time and you’ve paid the pet fee. (80$ per pet). If you pet damages any property or requires extensive cleaning, you will be responsible for those charges.
• 🔇 Keep noise to a minimum after 10 PM, Specifically outside noise.
• ⏰ Please adhere to check-in/check-out times (unless we’ve agreed otherwise)
• 💙 Treat the home like it’s your best friend’s place—kindly and with care.



⭐️Some Extra Things to Know

• 🧼 Major messes = extra cleaning fees dependent on the mess. Please leave things reasonably tidy.

• 🚗 No parking on the grass unless you’ve asked us first or your group requires it.

•Tampering with outdoor cameras or Wi-Fi equipment is strictly prohibited. These systems are in place for security and connectivity. Any interference may result in immediate cancellation of your stay and will be reported to VRBO. There is a ring doorbell located by the front door that is solely for guest services. If you need me right away, ring it! The second camera is near the garage and we use it mostly to make sure Gator Joes patrons are not parking on the lawn, as they have in the past.

Breaking the rules may result in fees, an early end to your stay, or getting reported to VRBO. Thanks for helping us keep this a clean, cozy, and respectful space. If you have any questions or need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out.
