Charlie’s on the Water - a Charming 3-bedroom house with a lake view-Sabula
Escape to Charlie’s on the Water, a delightful lake-view house in the Island City of Sabula, Iowa. Relax in the screened in porch while looking at the calm lake waters adorned with a beautiful green tree-line, pelicans, and a frequent splashing of fish. With 3 queen beds spread across 3 cozy bedrooms, guests can enjoy the comforts of home during their stay. The 2 bathrooms are equipped with a shower, bathtub, and a hairdryer for added convenience. This fabulous property also features heating, AC, an iron, WiFi, and a washing machine and dyer. We think our place will help you experience everything Sabula has to offer. #charliesonthewater

Everything about Charlie’s on the Water was perfect. There was abundant supplies of towels and soap. Very comfortable furnishings made for a relaxing visit to Sabula. I highly recommend Charlie’s on the Water.
The house was great and communication was outstanding. The pictures do not do the house justice - it is excellent! Will want to stay again. The view of the lake is very good and the screened-in porch was enjoyable. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.
The hosts are the best in the midwest. Great communication and went out of their way to accommodate us. House was very nice and comfortably slept 6 people. Screened in porch was the perfect place to start the day with coffee in the morning, and end the day with a beautiful sunset.
The home is wonderful, clean and well supplied. Belinda was quick with her communication. We had planned to travel by boat which is more specialized but because of recent storms we moved to plan B. More information would be helpful about what is available and how to get around on the island itself. Island businesses info is not accurate online which was not in Belinda's control. She tried to assist. Dave at the Island Harbor Marina is a good contact. The island is quiet and relaxing.
