The home was great for our family vacation, plenty of space for everyone. The house was a short walk to the beach and amenities center. My kids also enjoyed the small lake at the end of the road where the feed the turtles. The host was very nice and made everything as easy as possible for us. We would definitely stay here for another visit

Nice stay but home improvements needed

Our stay was overall nice, and Ocean Lakes was great as always. The house itself is in much need of some work to be of the same standard. The deck was quite rough to walk on as is the floor on the inside of the house. There are severely uneven areas, and every single one of my family members, including my 3 yo, fell over the threshold to the master bedroom at some point. After some initial trouble shooting with the host on arrival about the AC (super helpful!), it did cool the home but was consistently a few degrees off (set on 68 but house at 74). It was also uneven: freezing in the bathroom and hot in the bunk room. Several air vents were rusted closed and could not be opened. As it appeared other visitors had done, we moved the vents halfway off the duct to allow air to get through, but there was still no ventilation in the bunk room. The kitchen countertops were perpetually sticky (despite cleaning), like someone applied clear coat and it never dried. Despite all that, it was still comfortable and host helpful. Washer/dryer was a game changer! Would be terrific with some upkeep addressed as described above.

Clean and Well Organized

We have stayed at other homes in OL, but this is the first property to actually take in to consideration storage hooks, towel bars, and trash cans. I actually packed an over the door hanger with me because of experiences at other homes that lack storage. We were pleasantly surprised to the convenience of the simplest things that others over look that make a stay run smoother. Plenty of hooks, drawers, and cabinets to store our things while staying. Our family enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Misrepresented

The pictures and description make the property sound much better than it is. The steps in and deck are bare from chipping/ worn paint. Interior floors are heaving and water damaged. Misc screws and hardware installed in flooring, walls and ceiling. Overall the house was in disrepair and hap hazardly renovated at some point. The bedrooms are impossibly small as well as the bathroom in the “hallway”. Overall 1/5 stars for deceiving images of property. Upon check in we had to thoroughly mop the floors so our feet would not stick to them. While mopping there always an abundance of dirt collected. Interior of home has a damp smell that was being covered up by air fresheners.

Family vacation

Overall the house was okay. It definitely needs to be updated and re painted and missing hinges put on the cabinets. I would also say the owner needs to have it sprayed for bugs because we killed about 7-9 spiders inside. It would be great if they had a leaf blower so you can actually enjoy the porch. Or they need to cover the porch! And plan to wear shoes at all times even on the porch with all the pine needles and bug spray on you at all times. The mosquitos were everywhere around the house. Lastly about the outside was the table on the deck. We had to wipe it down multiple times before letting our kiddos sit there and eat it was very dirty. The box to get the key out was soooo hard to open when we first got there and was the same when we went to put the key back. I got a little nervous cause we spent time trying to get in it and I finally called the number of the owner to ask for help and there was no answer and no call back. It was also asked to text the owner when we left, and I would think they would text back something at least but no response, a simple “hope you enjoyed your stay” would have been nice! We definitely love ocean lakes though! So much for the kids!

Ocean lakes has really cracked down on curfew and who can operate a golf cart. Do not expect to be out past 11pm even if teenage! A little disappointed in property compared to listing. Deck had mats covering chipped/unpainted area. Table needed power washing. Lots of debris from trees which I wish we had access to a blower to be able to enjoy the deck. Couldn’t walk outside without shoes from pinecone pieces. I most look forward to sitting outside while the kids play. Had to open the dishwasher to open some drawers in kitchen. Some missing handles. Fridge and freezer both had door support piece missing so limited storage on doors. Owner was so great though. Quick response when we locked ourselves out and couldn’t get tv to work. Figured we rented towards the end of the season and resulted from previous guests. Location was great given we rented a golf cart. I wish we would’ve known to bring our own electric cord to charge it. Not trying to be a Debbie downer, just not 100% what I was expecting.
