Everything we were looking for.

House has best location right on beach and ocean. Little pool is nice, really no need for it with ocean right there. House is well appointed with everything you could need. Easy check in and check out. Close to all the action but in a quieter part of the strip. Great time at a great property.

This was a great place and the management property was great to work with. Not nearly as busy at this end of the beach is one advantage and having the pool was nice for the little ones for the end of the day to wind down. Very comfortable for 21 people. Would stay there again!!

Great Beach Stay

Great house with awesome layout of bedrooms for multiple families to have their own space and bathrooms. Pool was great and nice to have it heated for the cooler spring break days! Decor is cute, kitchen is well equipped, nice to have two sets of washers and dryers. Property manager promptly answered and responded to an oven issue. The location is great, beaches not crowded at this location and super close to good restaurants. Would definitely stay again if back in that area. My only suggestions would be to get new couches for the living area- they have seen their better days, provide beach towels and maybe some beach chairs to use during your stay(we just went and bought some, or just plan to bring your own)

Perfect for family vacation!

Plenty of room to spread out, I thought the pool would be to small however it was a perfect size for the kids to have a break from the beech. Good parking, close to the beech and not crowded. Would stay again for sure.

Cookin Up Fun Indeed!

During our recent stay at Cookin Up Fun 2, we had a wonderful experience overall. The location was simply outstanding, offering breathtaking views and easy access to the beach. The beds were comfortable and provided a peaceful night's sleep, allowing us to fully recharge for our beach adventures. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the pool. It was well-maintained, inviting, and offered a refreshing respite from the summer heat. We spent countless hours enjoying the pool and creating lasting memories with our loved ones. However, it's worth noting that we did notice that the home could benefit from a deep cleaning. While it didn't detract significantly from our overall experience, we believe a thorough cleaning would have enhanced our stay even further. Despite this minor issue, our time was memorable and enjoyable. We appreciate the comfortable beds, the fantastic location, and the opportunity to create lasting memories. We would consider returning in the future, hoping that the cleanliness of the house would be addressed. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful retreat by the sea!

Big Disappointment

Paid for heated pool—Did not work—called they said it just broke —when man came over for stair problems he said it had been broken for two weeks. —The pool was a big deal for our grandchildren—They should have called me to let me know about the pool and found mea new place.—Their property next door pool worked there was no one in it —ask to use they said they would check never called back —Someone did move in the next day but they could have let use it for 2 days before they moved in. The oven didn’t work properly & was difficult to use.

Great Property, Location & Well Stocked Kitchen

Great property for an extended family vacation for me, my spouse, siblings, cousins, nieces & nephew. We have done large family vacations in many locations. On top of being a fantastic property right on the beach, what stood out for us was the kitchen cookware, utensils, and dinnerware were more than adequate for a large group that does a lot of cooking! Typically, we purchase things to cook with and paper products for eating, but there was no need here. They have everything you need. Just bring your group and enjoy!

Great House!

We stayed here for Thanksgiving and a very late birthday celebration and we all had a great time. There was a little issue at first with the stove and the property service manager did a wonderful job of resolving our problem. He was truly concerned and determined to help us out. He gets a gold star in my book. The kids stayed in the pool or on the beach the entire time. All in all it was a great place to stay.

Great Location/Fun Family Vacay!

We had a great time for our quick family getaway! The location is perfect and the plentiful rooms and bathrooms were great for everyone to have their own space. Also plenty of towels and nice to have 2 dishwashers and 2 washers and dryers. There are a few maintenance things that need some attention, and it wasn’t the cleanest place we’ve stayed in, but still a great time and experience.

Great place for a family get together!

The house was perfect for our large family get together. Each family had a room and a bathroom. The living/kitchen/dining area was perfect. The decor is modern and clean. The boardwalk to the beach was great for the little ones as they could go back and forth between the beach and house with no problems. We all loved it so much we’re thinking of doing it again here next year!

Our family of 20 had the best week ever!! This was our first time to take a vacation as an entire family and it was a blast. The house was more than what we expected, the location, size and everything in between. After reading previous reviews I took some extra kitchen items to make sure we had what we needed.
