Celebrate 2016 in Your New Isla Del Sol Condo!

2015 has been a great year at Lake of the Ozarks. We've enjoyed a longer than average warm season, and a fantastic summer season. As we welcome in 2016, let's take a look back at some of the biggest events that happened around the Lake area this past year. These events are just some of the great reasons to invest in a second home at Lake of the Ozarks' best waterfront condo complex.

January - Winter Golf 

Cold weather didn't scare off golfers at the Lake of the Ozarks! We had 2 person scrambles on the weekends at Deer Chase golf course to keep even the most die-hard golfing fans seasoned and practiced. Winners received $70 in cash split between the 2 person team.

February - Wedding Vow Renewals & the Famous Mardi Gras Pub Crawl

Bridal Cave stays at a cool 60 degrees in the summer & winter, making it the perfect stop for lovebirds looking to renew their vows in the cold winter weather. During February, Bridal Cave offered free vow renewals which included fresh flowers for the bride and a new wedding portrait. Guests also received a lifetime pass to Bridal Cave and a mystery bag full of local discounts!
Each February the Lake also hosts the largest Mardi Gras Pub Crawl - with over 20 bars participating. Lake Locals and all those involved came down for a crazy night of fun and cheer.

March - Jazz Music & Fundraisers 

March kicks off the spring season and Lake of the Ozarks begins to stir with excitement as the ice thaws off the docks. The Ozark Jazz Society put on a concert and buffet style dinner for guests at Osage National Golf Resort. The Celebration boat held a dinner Cruise to raise money for Lake Race, and local schools held silent auctions to raise money for project graduation. March was a month for preparation and charity fundraising!

April - Diamond of Dirt Tracks Racing

Lucas Oil Speedway came to life and brought the best regional dirt racers in to compete on the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks". The first 500 fans even received consolation gifts! Lucas Oil Speedway is located in Wheatland, Missouri, and holds racing events throughout the year for various vehicles, on land, and on water!

May - Events Everywhere

May brought the very best out in Lake of the Ozarks, from live music to the 18th Annual Harbor Hop. Locals and guests alike traveled via boat and car to water bars for a chance to complete the best poker hand and win big prizes! Golf tournaments took place all over the Lake's 12+ courses and Memorial Day weekend officially kicked off the summer season for Lake of the Ozarks.

June/July - Different Party Every Night

The summer nightlife at the Lake of the Ozarks was in full swing during the months of June and July. Between Lake Race, Aquapalooza and the nearly endless 4th of July celebrations featuring fireworks, barbeques, and pool parties, it's amazing that anyone found time to sleep!

August/September - Shootout and End of Season Festivities

As the summer season began to wind down, the lake held one of its most famous events, the Shootout! Racers competed on the main channel of the Lake for the title of Shootout Champion. Live entertainment was at an all-time high, with legendary rock bands like Molly Hatchet, Warrant, and Shaman's Harvest taking the stage all around the Lake area, Labor Day weekend festivities, including fireworks, food, and fun, brought the summer to a close.

October - Cruises, Golf, Fishing, and more!

We enjoyed the Fall Harbor Hop cruise, several fundraising golf tournaments, nearly weekly fishing tournaments and a new attraction, the Mecca Pumpkin Patch. The Lake of the Ozarks loves to go all out with Halloween costume contests, trick-or-treating and haunted hayrides. Decorations could be found everywhere, from Hy-Vee Hollow to neighborhood yards. 

November - End of fall and Thanksgiving

Lake of the Ozark's brought in over 5000 people to participate in the Lake Stock Fall Crawl. Over 10 bars came together with public transport and gave the area a fun and safe night they won't forget. Many locals and guests celebrated Thanksgiving at the Lake, by dining at local restaurants showing off their chef's talent by offering Thanksgiving Day meals.

December - Christmas and New Year's Celebrations

What began as a small fundraising campaign to ensure that children in the area would have a good Christmas has become an absolute over the top charity event. Live music, auctions, cash bar and more, the Christmas for Kids event has become one of the best reasons to visit or live at the Lake in the off season. With New Year's bringing this amazing year to an end, several businesses are inviting you to help them ring in the New Year! Visit www.FunLake.com for more details!

Keep Your Primary Residence Secure While You're Away

Are you planning on taking an extended trip this winter or a long stay at the Lake this spring or summer? Make sure to protect your primary residence during your trip. The best waterfront condo complex at the Lake has some tips you can follow to make sure that your residence is prepared for your absence.

Avoid Social Media

Criminals often use social media platforms like Facebook to see if people are gone for vacation. To prevent telling prowlers that you're away, don't post anything that states how long you'll be gone, or your location. Save the vacation pictures for when you get back or post them all at once to avoid letting the online world know your house is unoccupied.

Find a Friendly Neighbor

A friendly neighbor is one of the best security measures your home can have. They can stop by to water the plants, check for mail and make sure that your house is still in good standing. Alerting neighbors to your coming absence gives you peace of mind and you have someone nearby your home who can alert you to anything that might happen. Leave a copy of your contact information for anyone watching your home so they can reach you and keep you informed!

Use Automated Lights

Leaving lights on while you go on vacation may sound like a good plan, but between the high cost and suspicious midnight lighting, you could be doing more harm than good. Consider buying an automated light timer that turns on lights around the house at various intervals to emulate your presence while you're gone. This discourages those prowlers from attempting to enter your empty house!

Continue Your Lawn Care

It's easy to tell from an unkept yard that no one has been home for awhile. Leave some cash with that trusty neighbor to hire someone to take care of your lawn while you're away. Also, have your neighbor pick up your mail and any newspapers. Keeping up appearances is the best way to keep your home safe!

Isla Del Sol Cares about You and Your Primary Home!

The most important thing to remember when leaving your primary home is to keep it secure. The #1 condominium complex at Lake of the Ozarks wants you to be completely relaxed when you stay at your second home condo. Taking care of your primary residence is a task that gives silent rewards - no issues, no stress.  Isla Del Sol will help give you the peace of mind you deserve while you're away from your primary home.

Christmas Decorating Tips for Your Isla Del Sol Condo

Christmas is a beautiful time to decorate your Lake of the Ozarks' Condo living space! Christmas time presents an opportunity to decorate your interior with brilliant and flashy ornaments or even dark and earthy colors like you'd find on your Christmas tree. The most luxurious condo complex at Lake of the Ozarks has a few ideas to share when it comes to decorating your condo for this holiday season.

The Tree

Christmas is a time when most families decide to decorate a beautiful Christmas tree. Choosing how to decorate your tree is a personal venture, full of family traditions and personal flair. Do you choose a real tree or an artificial one with built-in lighting? We recommend trying to incorporate your tree's decoration into the rest of your home's winter decor - this helps draw guest's attention through your home and rest upon your beautifully crafted evergreen. If your tree is full of silver and gold ornaments, you could tie those colors into decorations found in bedrooms, on tables and resting on the mantle. Do you prefer red and green? A fun elf on the shelf or well-placed mistletoe adds a splash splashing color in any living environment.

The Mantle

Stockings hung above the fireplace are just the start - we want to use the full mantle to create a dynamic Christmas atmosphere. If you want a natural and rustic appearance, try an assortment of pine cones and long needle pine branches that flow just over the edges of the mantle. The deep green and brown colors could compliment a wreath hung just above the fireplace or some tarnished silver mantle decorations.

Table Space

Popular table decorations include plates full of unbroken walnuts, Christmas candles adorned with leafy greens or simple ornaments like small wooden sleighs. Do you prefer a Christmas full of glitter and gold? We recommend filling a glass jar with some holiday bells and placing a candle nearby to illuminate all the vibrant colors.

The best Christmas decorations aren't simply purchased and hung - they're crafted into a masterpiece found only in your living space. At the best waterfront condo complex at the Lake of the Ozarks, we're sure that by the time Christmas is over, your beautiful lakefront condo will be the topic of discussion amongst your friends and family. With your finishing touches, Christmas at Isla Del Sol transforms from a Lake of the Ozarks' paradise island condo to a winter wonderland fit for Santa himself.
