If you really love the house and the community, perhaps your realtor can help you get pix of the waterfront area from the sellers or their realtor so you can make a (semi) informed decision.
Good luck!

Beyond the physical home this is a great point. You need to know where you are buying if you are in it for lake use. This can impact value and the amount of time it could take you to sell it down the road. As mentioned above there are areas of the lake with brown water, lots of weeds and of course the water rats (geese). Geese absolutely suck to put it mildly. Not to stir pot and some may take issue with this but if I were looking to buy right now I would wait and see where this blue green algae threat goes in the next couple years. This could be problem.
