The community of Beacon Lake welcomed approximately 1,500 homeowners, future homeowners and visitors to its recent Lake House Launch event, celebrating the grand opening of its Lake House Amenity and Fitness Center.
“We were thrilled to welcome a record number of guests to our spectacular Lake House Launch celebration at Beacon Lake, and we look forward to welcoming many back as residents in the future,” said Bruce J. Parker, managing director for BBX Capital Real Estate, Beacon Lake’s master developer.
During the event, Beacon Lake showcased its nautically themed Lake House, a community-gathering place providing opportunities for indoor and outdoor recreation and relaxation. Guests were treated to a celebrity cooking demonstration and tasting with Chef Tom Gray of Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails in the Culinary Studio and Demonstration kitchen. Outdoors, kayakers paddled past the lakeside gazebo while guests enjoyed live music by Firewater Tent Revival.
Guests also enjoyed free food trucks and family-friendly fun including caricature and balloon artists, face painters, pirate entertainers and an activity zone featuring a mechanical shark, 27-foot inflatable slide, rock climbing wall, giant soccer darts and more. Shuttles ferried visitors to the community’s five model homes by Dream Finders Homes and Mattamy Homes.
“We are overwhelmingly pleased by the enthusiastic response we received on our Lake House, community amenities and model homes,” Parker said. “Beacon Lake residents enjoy a welcoming neighborhood environment, coastal-inspired homes by premier builders and unique lakefront amenities.”
