Nice quiet location Floor was FILTHY! Doubt if it had been cleaned at all this summer. Furniture was fine. Kitchen is rather a hodgepodge; not enough forks to get through one meal. Having the golf cart was great. Space was the right amount but technically not really 3 bedrooms.

Be Cautious with this Rental

Be careful with this property. We were fooled by the overall high ratings, and very disappointed with the condition of this 140 yr old cottage. Overlooking the “charming” uneven flooring, terrible floor plan, stairway without handrails, and older furniture, there is an obvious lack of general maintenance. The online pictures are likely older pictures as the condition of the cottage has deteriorated. The long time owner probably has grown accustomed to the poor condition, looking right past the problem areas. The inclusion of the golf cart is a plus, but it doesn’t make up for the overall poor condition of the cottageThe front porch is in very sad shape. There is a review from September, 2022 stating the porch should be torn down and/or replaced so this is not a recent development. The front patio needs a serious power wash. The bathrooms on the first floor have discolored caulking around the tub, and the trim board at the bottom of the shower is blackened and looked rotten to us. The bedding provided was yellow with age.We pointed out some of these problems to the host, but he told us we should just try to have a positive outlook and enjoy all the activities available within Lakeside. We spent one night in this cottage and left. Also, make sure to add in Lakeside fees when judging the value of staying at this cottage.Our recommendation – skip this cottage and look for something better.

Check-in was simple; golf cart was awesome since we had an elderly parent with us. Wi-Fi was great. The place desperately needs to be professionally cleaned - there was clear evidence that it is not. Also, the bed situation is horrible - it does not sleep 8 people comfortably... maybe 2 adults (as long as they can share the bed in the main floor bedroom) and 5-6 small children - but not the 6 adults and 1 teen that we had in our extended family gathering. Most of us didn't get one single decent night's sleep. Beds were not made when we arrived, tiny/thin mattresses, ancient bedframes that are unstable, no bed-bug protection anywhere. Recommend either keeping the high cost and updating the bed situation and cleaning service, or reducing the cost significantly so guests don't expect a decent night's sleep and/or cleanliness.

A really wonderful stay for our son and daughter and their spouses and 4 young children. They used the rear room with the pullout sofa as a play area. My husband and I chose to stay at a friend’s cottage to give the rest of the family more space.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Property was in bad shape. House was not clean and had an infestation of gnats. Was supposed to have a Hot Tub and did not. Was supposed to have 4 bedrooms, it was really two and a half. When you get to the Property you find out you have to pay to park. $18 dollars a day per car and $33 dollars a day per person. Not advertised by Owner or Vrbo. When we questioned the host about these discrepancies, He was very rude and mostly would not respond to our questions. For the price of this trip we could of taken a first class cruise! Probably should have. Do your homework on this listing.

We enjoyed our time at this house. The family is growing so we had to extend to a second house and this worked perfect for us. The golf cart was nice to use and having the bedding and towels provided was also very nice! I would stay here again.

Perfect for our crew

Blueberry Hill was perfect for our stay. We had family across the street so we really just needed it for sleeping. The house was clean and provided sheets and towels, which is a real plus at Lakeside! I’ve always had to bring linens. We did not use the pullout couch but I wouldn’t really call that a bedroom. It was perfect for the 5 of us to stay. It would have been tight if 4 more people were with us.

Fun Family Time

We had a great time in this cottage. The family who slept upstairs didn't mind that they had to go through one bedroom to get to the second one or that the 2nd bathroom was downstairs. The window air conditioners kept the house very cool. All the appliances were top quality. We appreciated having a washer and dryer, too. The golf cart being included in the rental fee was a huge plus, too.

Not what we expected

Be aware that in the You need to know section of this VRBO listing "Extra person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy" and "Government issued id and credit/debit/cash deposit may be required at check in for incedental charges" means that this property is in a gated community that requires per person per a auto per a day fee during certain times of the year. No exception. We were completely blindsided. Our fees were well over a thousand for the week. The host did cover part of the fee when we pushed back that there was nothing in the listing indicating the fees. All of the free amenities are only free because of these fees. Also there are 2 actual bedrooms, a loft with a bed that you must pass thru to get to the upstairs bedroom, and a tiny room just big enough for a pullout couch off the kitchen with a sliding door and no ventillation. Both bathrooms are on the first floor. The sheets had stains and the towels were a hodge podge of worn quality. The hot water was iffy. There was still a gnat problem. Communication by the host was not very timely but did get responses eventually. The cottage itself could use a good makeover. It did provide a place to sleep and shower. The location itself is perfect if you are doing things in and around Marblehead. We did enjoy the use of the golf cart.

Great price for a really good place to stay

We had a great stay! The golf cart was key, since it was a bit farther than where we had stayed previously (and I'd recently had had knee surgery, there would have been no way of me walking or biking back & forth to the park & shops). The house was big enough for our needs, 4 *almost* bedrooms - one was a loft at the top of the stairs that the other upstairs bedroom sleepers had to walk through, but this is not an issue with kids. The living room was comfortable, the 3 window air conditioners indeed kept the house cool enough, and it was a hot week! 2 tables for eating/working were great. I think our biggest issue was the cleanliness of the kitchen and the gnats (we had read about the gnat problem in a recent review and took a plug in bug light/catcher, which was such a huge help).

In a quiet area on a cul de sac, so no traffic. Golf cart provided was an excellent bonus to travel to all the activities in Lakeside. Mattresses could use some updating but not bad. Had a gnat problem in the house, but owner working to solve this problem, was very apologetic, and even refunded some money towards spray we bought.
