Cozy Lakefront House & Private Dock in Osage Beach! August 2026 Special!

Remodeled in 2023 and updated in 2024! Cozy lakefront house & private dock in Osage Beach. Great View! Spacious decks and an incredible lake view make Bandit's Bungalow a must-stay. Each of the four bedrooms upstairs has its own bathroom / shower so there is plenty of room for a large group or family to maintain privacy while also sharing the lake life experience. The walk-out basement has two bunk beds (bunk #1 has one twin and one full; bunk #2 has one full and one queen) with a half bath and is an excellent area for kids. This property also has a private two ramp two-well dock with a swim platform and plenty of water toys (including three kayaks) and two hammocks to help enjoy each day on the water or just lounging around the property. Located on the 19 mile marker in protected cove just minutes away by land or water from several outstanding lake area restaurants, mini-golf courses and go cart tracks, there will always be plenty to do and sights to see. Don't even get us started on the sunsets! Outstanding!

Wonderful stay at the lake

This home more than met our expectations. Everything was just as advertised. Lots of extras not always provided that were much appreciated. Great views and decks to enjoy. Helped make our family gathering of 13 a very enjoyable time at the lake.Great directions, instructions etc so we didn’t to contact our owner JD at all during the stay. Would definitely recommend to others!

Great House and Location

The house was exactly as advertised. Clean and comfortable, with room for everyone. We spent a lot of time on the dock and the patio- the lightening bugs were so fun to see. The hosts were responsive, welcoming and very clear with their communication. We didn’t have any problems during our visit. The location is perfectly situated for restaurants and privacy and access to the lake. We would love to stay here again.

Short family vacay

Great property. Plenty of space for my family of 12 ranging from 1 to 80 years old. There was a problem with the AC in the main bedroom and the downstairs bunk area. I messaged the owner and he was there within a couple hours and had an HVAC person there within another couple hours. The whole issue was fixed and we were comfortable again. Would recommend!

Great place with easy lake access

We did a family vacation with 5 kids (one under 1) and 8 adults and this property was great! We loved that we could go down by the dock easily to swim, kayak, and fish! We also rented a boat so having a place for that when we weren’t using it was very helpful! The outdoor areas were great for hanging out. We didn’t do a ton of cooking, but we did a little and the kitchen we had no issues with the kitchen and the kitchen space. The grill was dirty so we had to grill with foil on it, but otherwise, it worked fine. Overall, it was a great stay and we would stay again.

Inviting modern day coziness.

We (10 family member age 4-70) are returning to this property because it’s cozy and inviting. We enjoyed the open kitchen plan. The kitchen had the right amount of pots and pans, cute serving plates and nice glassware. A nice coffee station. All our beds were very comfortable. The temperature in the house was easy to regulate. We saw an Eagle on two mornings, egrets almost every morning, ducks and turtles. I highly recommend this property. The property owner was very easy to communicate with as well.

Great LOZ VRBO

Very clean, comfortable home with a gorgeous view from the deck and easy access to the water. We had 10 people on the busiest days we were there and it accommodated us perfectly. Quiet, located in the back of a cul-de-sac. The two boat slips were perfect for our bass boat and a tri-toon rental for the week. J.D. is very communicative and sends all needed information well in advance of the trip. He's immediately available if needed. Would strongly recommend for anyone looking for a Summer getaway in the Osage Beach area.

Perfect Home for Families!

We were in the area for a baseball tournament and 4 families stayed together in the house. We loved it! 4 bedrooms each with an en suite is very convenient, plus a walk out bunk room for kids. Our hosts supplied all the lake toys we could want, including beach towels, kayaks, water floats and a floating pad. We swam, fished, grilled, and enjoyed the beautiful lake views from the upper deck. A large kitchen was stocked with dishes to make cooking easy, and we appreciated the washer and dryer for cleaning baseball uniforms! Hand soap in the bathrooms and citronella candles for the deck were considerate touches. The driveway is steep but that’s typical for lake houses and it did not affect our experience at all. Would stay here again 100%!

Amazing Property - U Will NOT be disappointed!

You will not be disappointed! This is one of the cleanest rentals I’ve ever seen. From the first moment we booked JD was on it. Attentive answering all our questions, making our large family (12) celebration special! He even had birthday plates/napkins waiting for us! This house has it all, location, lake front property lake toys/float, beautiful inside, boats, grill, large decks, each bedroom has its own entrance & bathroom… cooking utensils etc. note; make sure to bring your own spices though. We could not have been more happy with our family time together here. There was no reason to have to leave the property… but we did for dinner and some fun times at Miner Mike's … fun time for everyone here. Best Family vacation in a long time! Thanks JD, we will be back and recommend your place to anyone looking. Barbara
