We really enjoyed our stay! The property was well maintained and everything was just as described. The home itself was well decorated and very clean. One of the nicer places at Ocean Lakes. Also, our host, Patricia, was very kind and checked on us to make sure everything was okay. Definitely 5 stars!
The house was clean upon our arrival. The house is small, but luckily our family didn't spend much time inside! There isn't a lot of room for bags and suitcases and not a lot of dresser or closet space to allow us to unpack and hang stuff up. We previously stayed on the other side of the campground and I thought this house was in a much busier location. Golf carts constantly driving by and just more noise. I liked being able to walk to the pond and being close to the beach. Having the option to rent the golf cart is a definite plus!! We liked having the grill. We took advantage of that a few times! One suggestion I have would be to hang a retractable sunshade on the front porch. I enjoyed sitting on the porch in the morning but some days it was just too bright and too hot! Patricia was great to work with! Very quick to respond before, during and after our trip about anything I texted her about! We had an issue with the shower curtain rod and she got back to me immediately and had someone come take care of it within an hour!
Very clean, nicely decorated house, great location and excellent communication with the owners. We enjoyed having breakfast on the porch each morning and liked renting the cart from the owners. We will definitely book again.
Great house for a family of 4! Communication with host was excellent. House was clean and the beds were comfortable. We will be booking again next year.
This house is amazing!! Clean, neat and simple the host is very responsive and helpful. 10 out of 10 recommended we will be back to stay at this house.
Property was clean, conveniently located, and had everything we needed for a great beach week. We really enjoyed the outside patio area and grill. The ability to rent a golf cart from the owner was also a huge plus.
The home is cozy and very clean. The homeowner was great to work with. We loved that we could rent a golf cart from them too. Would definitely stay here again..
The house was just as listed and was perfect for our family of four. Communication from the owners was amazing. Patricia made the process so easy. We loved all the amenities Ocean Lakes offered. We would definitely stay again.
We were impressed and pleased at the cleanliness of the property. We had everything we needed. There was an occasion where we had to call the owner about a small issue we couldn't solve, and she told us exactly what to do quickly and efficiently. We wouldn't hesitate to rent from the Simmons again!
Everything was exactly how it was listed, ran into a few issues that was fixed immediately. But it was nothing we done or the property owner. Highly recommend!
The property was clean and well-maintained. Ocean Lakes is just as fun as ever, and Patricia was wonderful to work with. She communicated well and made sure we were well-informed. The beds were comfortable and we loved the outdoor deck and grill. We highly recommend!
We have stayed at numerous Ocean Lakes properties throughout the years and this home rates highly. My wife and I enjoyed the quiet side street, central location, and ample parking. The home itself is very clean, nicely furnished, and well equipped to meet most any need. The Simmons' are wonderful and responsive hosts who went above and beyond to ensure the rental process was smooth. Look forward to a future return.
The house was exactly as described, and was absolutely spotless. The communication with the owner Patricia was amazing with clear and concise information from the first day thru the last. The golf cart availability relieved the hassle of dealing with Ocean Lakes (for a fraction of the cost). The street was on the back side of the Ocean Lakes property and had very minimal traffic but was still just a short jump from the beach and other amenities. I would highly recommend this property for smaller families or contacting Patricia if you need a larger space (she has a 2 story directly across the street from this house). VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE OWNERS AND THE PROPERTY!
Clean, cute cottage, convenient location to pond and beach
When first entering the cottage, the first thing we noticed was the cleanliness. This cottage is cute, with upgrades such as granite in kitchen. The pavilion in the back was great for gathering with friends, watching TV outside on a beautiful night. We chose to rent the golf cart provided to us by the owners which was a great decision. The beds were comfortable as well. I didn't give this 5 stars because of the layout of the living room area - very uncomfortable for all of us to sit and watch TV. Overall, we were extremely pleased with this rental.
Location is good - close to the beach. Homeowners quick to respond but when you spend $2200 for a week stay - we expect the home to be a bit more maintained on the inside. The carpets were dirty, refrigerator dirty, utensil drawers dirty, very outdated and carpets surrounding toilets dirty and unwashed.
Contacted homeowner and they did offer for house cleaners to return, but after a long trip with two young kids, we preferred not to have a cleaning crew inside the home. Would have appreciated a refund on cleaning fees - when we showed up late at night, we cleaned the house immediately.
