We are so excited to be staying here again this coming summer. We have been here in the past and have had no issues. The onwers are extra nice people and are willing to let you use their personal golf cart to cruise the park. Worth the price for great location and lost of fun in the sun.....

Owner response:Thanks Pam, Looking forward to seeing you this summer. Shirley

We stayed at this listing in 2007 when we only had three small children, and we would've considered staying there again but we've added two more children to our family. . . so we have to rent a larger place. I've been staying at Ocean Lakes since I was a teenager with my family (1988 was my first trip), and we've stayed in some of the larger "newer" rentals on the Ocean Lakes property as well as plenty of other smaller ones. The owners of this particular rental have by far been the kindest and easiest to communicate with in my own personal dealings, and I haven't forgotten it! (I do not know these people personally outside of this business transaction!) While the rental is not one of the brand new, fancy-dancy decorated rentals that some folks are looking for, this was a comfortable place for us. It was clean the year we stayed there, and we had no issues at all. Personally, I enjoy simple comfort and have no need for pretentions and materialism. . . this place and the owners suited me quite well!

Owner response:Thanks for the review. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope you can come by next time you are at Ocean Lakes. Thanks again. Gene and Faye, Bobby and Shirley

This rental is very deceiving. It is not clean, remote was misplaced, had to look under chairs and couches. It was disgusting (did find remote). Had to wash the mattress pads before using the beds, they were filthy. Had to clean the bathrooms and kitchen before using. The sliding door lock was broken. Could not lock the door most of the time unless my husband worked on it. Only had 1 key, neighbor could not find other door key. Had to fix the folding doors going into the very small 2nd bedroom because they were falling off the tracks. As a result of tying the doors shut, could not have any privacy dressing because the doors could not be closed. Visitors are required to clean upon leaving to keep cost down, I have stayed in many others that had a cleaning service and the cost was the same; you need someone to clean your house thoroughly. This will be my one and only time to stay at your beach house.

Owner response:To Dissatisfied, We are so sorry you did not find our home up to your standard. We have had renters every week this summer and no one has conplained, most of our renters come back year after year and have already booked for next year. Our pictures should give you a pretty good idea of the size of the bedrooms. The lock you had trouble with is a new lock but I will have it checked out to make sure its working. We do not have a regular cleaning service but the house is checked out to make sure it is clean. Hope you find a more suitable rental next year. Shirley

Great stay at this house I thouroughly enjoyed renting Shirley and Bobby's place at Ocean Lakes. Upon arrival I found all I needed to enjoy a relaxing few days on the beach. The house was warm inviting and clean. There was plenty of room in the spacious master bedroom and 2nd bedroom. The golf cart for cruising to the pool camp store and beach was a definite plus. I would recommend this home to famililes with small children, couples or seniors just looking for a get away with no worries
