What types of homes are at Mariners Landing?
Mariners Landing offers condos, single-family homes, townhomes, and golf villas, suiting everything from weekend getaways to full-time lake living.
Are short-term rentals allowed at Mariners Landing?
Mariners Landing has rental accommodations as part of the resort, so rentals do happen here, and that is part of why buyers choose a resort community over a private neighborhood. The policy that applies to your specific property sits in the association documents rather than in the community's marketing, so get those before you count on rental income.
How is Mariners Landing governed, and what do dues cover?
Golf is a separately purchased club membership rather than something dues include: unlimited green fees come with the Golf or Country Club package, not with owning here. Everyday services are not bundled either. Trash is curbside through a third-party company, and TV and internet come from providers that differ by part of the community. Ask for the current dues schedule and the association documents for the specific property before you budget.
