House was very clean and kitchen had everything we needed. The host was quick to communicate when we had any questions. The only minor things that could be improved are updating the power outlets and mattresses. We struggled to use a lot of the power outlets (plug would not stay in properly, outlet wouldn’t charge devices properly), so I would suggest updating those. Also, a couple of the mattresses were very lumpy and uncomfortable, so I would suggest updating those for a more pleasant stay for future guests. Other than those minor things, we really enjoyed our stay!

Family Hersheypark vacation

The Cocoa Cottage was above and beyond what my family and I ever expected!! The house is amazing! Clean, so cute, great layout, perfect location but most of all the pool was incredible!!!!! The owner has the home stocked with all necessities, very detailed instructions regarding check in/check out, trash, etc. A cute handy pamphlet with extra info about nearby restaurants and areas to check out. This was by far the best house rental I’ve booked and can’t wait to visit again! Thank you!!

Great place that was just like home

We stay in a lot of homes, and this kitchen was so inclusive. Multiple coffee makers - every pot & pan you could ever need, and glassware, plates, and utensils were very nicely stocked. Pool was fabulous after long days, and salt water made it even better. Easy walking to multiple restaurants and things to do. I completely recommend this place.

VERY PLEASANT STAY

We were impressed with all aspects of the house and pool. Very well stocked with kitchen, bath and pool essentials. The house is so close to downtown Hershey, the park, chocolate factory and other outdoor activities. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking to explore all that Hersey has to offer.

Hershey/Post Malone/Jelly Roll

This house sits on a quiet street lined with the cutest homes. Front porch sitting, hardwood floors, original home character, a beautiful kitchen, the most comfortable couches ever, and a covered back porch overlooking the pool with a view of downtown Hershey and rollercoasters. I love this home. It was immaculently clean. You can hear music from Hersheypark Stadium. A short 9 min car ride gets you to hersheyworld and hersheypark stadium. Will definitley be back ! #PostMalone/Jelly Roll Best crepes ever from Au Bon Lieu French Crepery! Just walk out the back yard, cross the alley and boom. Best crepes ever!

Cocoa Cottage was meticulously clean and well stocked with every amenity you could think of. The location was in walking distance of many restaurants and attractions. We enjoyed the spacious deck and well appointed rooms. We were wishing it was summer so we could have enjoyed the beautiful pool. Our hostess was attentive in communication. We will be back!
