About this property

Get Busy Livin! Grand Lake Waterfront

GOLF CART INCLUDED!!!!!! An absolute must on Monkey Island - you won’t need a car during your stay!!!!

In case you are not familiar with the many options of where to stay on Grand Lake, we want to ensure you are aware that this property is located in one of the nicest and most active areas of the entire lake. Monkey Island is a small island located near the center of the lake on the west side and is home to Shangri La, one of the nicest golf resorts in the state of Oklahoma. The resort is home to a 27-hole golf course, 18-hole Championship Par 3 course, 4-star hotel, full-service marina (including boat and PWC rentals), club and many restaurants and bars both on the water and off the water. This property is located near the tip of Monkey Island on a small quiet cove. Not only will you enjoy all the activities of staying in a fine home on the water but also the comforts and activities of this resort community. Whether you want to catch the game while sipping a cold beer overlooking the water at Eddies, head out for a night of live music on the decks at Shebangs, or hit a round of golf while the children sleep in, our home provides comforts that many have not experienced before during a lake vacation. We know you will enjoy.

Beautiful 3 bedroom home on Monkey Island. This is one of the best you will find. Beautifully appointed for those that want to walk in and feel like they are staying at a great home. The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 slip dock (10' x 24'), large deck and a modern kitchen. There is an 8-person hot tub on the back deck that is refilled between each stay.

An Onward 4-person gold cart with lithium ion batteries is included with your stay. You can access all Monkey Island restaurants, resort, hotel, marina(s), golf course(s) and more from the more than 3 miles of concrete cart paths that stretch across Monkey Island.

Master Bedroom has a king bed and ensuite bathroom.
Bedroom 2 has a queen size bed and ensuite shared bathroom.
Bedroom 3 has a queen bed with an additional twin loft bunk and ensuite shared bathroom.
The living room couch is a large sectional which is both new, comfortable and extremely large.

Great Bachelorette Weekend

We had 7 girls stay for a bachelorette trip and had an absolute blast. The house had anything and everything you could need, access to golf cart, dock for our boat, and the host was very responsive when we had questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice place.

4.5 out of 5 Overall a very nice and comfortable place. Soft beds with plenty of blankets and pillows. The house is well stocked with just about everything you need. There was some trash that wasn't cleaned up when we arrived. Also, the front porch and back deck could really use a wipe down or spray off. Completely covered in bug debris. Otherwise, a great place to stay. No real complaints.

Great location and space

The house was a perfect fit for my family. The layout with the large open concept was great. Our favorite thing was the huge living room windows overlooking the lake. The brand new grill showed up while we were there. It worked great and the communication with the owner about it was fantastic! The golf cart was awesome when we wanted to split ways and was only a 7 minute golf cart drive to Shangri-la! A couple things I didn’t like was not having blinds over the doors leading outside in the bedrooms, and the master bedroom didn’t have an accessible closet to hang our clothes. I also wish there was a kayak or paddle boat for the kids to play on but obviously that’s just a preference and the other items aren’t deal breakers. The house was well stocked on anything we needed and we loved the indoor and outdoor spaces. We’ll be back!

Perfect weekend get away

It was my husband’s birthday and my friends and I took my husband to celebrate his 70TH on the lake. We had a great time. The house was perfect. Fantastic location. The only negative is we wished we could have gotten the side by side to work. (That could have been on us….) Everything else was wonderful and everyone was so nice in the neighborhood and at the restaurants. We are excited to go back! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful place.

Perfect Monkey Island location

Stayed with 5 buddies on a golf trip. Everyone was comfortable. We loved the location and golf cart which allowed us to get everywhere we needed to go! The house is perfect for relaxing and the large table on the deck was great for us to be able to eat and recap the day. We will be back!

Girls Trip

We had a great time staying in Monkey Island, our house was great! The owner was accomadating as was the person that did the cleaning. We had a great time with the golf carts. We had a birthday and used the Island Time bus service, Jason was our driver he took great care of us. About the only thing I would suggest is to update the Weber grill or least refurbish it.

Our family loved this place! The dock was perfect for fishing and hanging out. We experienced a storm that left tree limbs on the house and in the yard. The owner had a crew come over the following day to clean up. We would stay here again!

Birthday Celebration Party

Owner is very quick to respond and take care of needs. We ran out of propane during stay and it was handled very quickly. Great location, boat ramp very close, plenty of parking on property (boat trailer too), plenty of towels, plenty of dishes, space to spread out and good size kitchen. We did feel like it needs a little more detail cleaning. The garage fridge doesn’t cool at all, but the freezer worked great in it. The back door handle needs some attention too. The slip at the dock isn’t usable but the side of the dock worked great. We would stay here again. Overall, it worked for us beautifully for our needs.

Thanksgiving Retreat

Our family of several generations gathered for Thanksgiving 2021 at this beautiful getaway location overlooking the lake. The space was perfect for family gathering, and despite the cold, we were able to go on walks, have family firepit nights roasting marshmallows, and game nights at the large table on the patio. Everything that you need and more is there. The kids had a ping pong tournament, and adults enjoyed visiting. We did have a problem with the furnace, but the owner's response was immediate and all worked out just fine! Great property!

Great location

It was a great location inside of the house was nice and clean however the outside of the house needs attention there were cobwebs and dust all over the back deck and the boat slip. The boat slip was the worst part it also had a loose board that my 13yr old son actually fell through the dock because he stepped on that board and it flipped up

Great home for families who are renting a boat. Home with own boat dock making easy for stops back to house. Wonderfully stocked kitchen and new appliances for cooking your own meals. We really enjoyed the views from living area and deck onto the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Josh Livingston

Host profile image
Our family fell in love with Monkey Island over 10 years ago and our experiences there are a rich part of our lives. When we are not at the Lake we enjoy being in New York City, Santa Rosa Beach, FL and Cabo! We hope you enjoy the experience of Monkey Island as much as we do. It has always provided the much needed "break from reality" where flip-flops, cold drinks, sunsets and conversations rule the day!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. This home is accessible by boat or golf cart to everyone we want to do including dinner, golf, drinks, sunset rides/walks/cruises, and even groceries. You really feel that you get away when you stay here.

What makes this property unique

We performed an extensive remodel of the home when we purchased it. You will enjoy a home that contains most of todays modern amenities and finishes. We like to stay in places on vacation that remind us of home or a place we would like to own - I like to believe this home will do that for you. From the back deck dining table for 12, the ping pong table in the garage to the 8 person hot tub on our deck overlooking the water, we have put together a property that is a blast to stay in. The home was repainted both on the exterior and interior in 2021. In 2022 our dock was re-wired and outfitted with new lights and plugs which can be turned on and off from the dock or the house. In 2022 we had new string lights and in our back yard to help create the right mood at night - these are located inside of the home. In 2022 we had a mosquito misting system installed on the property and it treats the dock, the back yard, the side yards and the front porch. It operates on short cycles in the middle of the night and we have found it to be highly effective at reducing bug and mosquitos in our yard! We work hard to keep our home in excellent condition and are constantly replacing older items and thinking of new things to stock for guests.
