Best yet!

Our family has been staying at Ocean Lakes for 14 years, and this place is the best yet! The kitchen is huge, and the cupboards are filled with everything needed to prepare meals. I loved the huge island area where I prepared my Thanksgiving meal. The rest of our family stayed at another house, but everyone came here to eat. Seating is ample. Originally, we were concerned because the house was far from the beach and Rec Center, but, as it turned out, we enjoyed not having to deal with beach-bound traffic. The house is obviously well-maintained, and even after a season of renters, everything was clean and in good working order. We plan to stay here again!

The Bestest Beach House EVER!!!

Our family came down and stayed in September 2011. The house was designed like a mansion! It had hardwood throughout the house, and the Two-story design was very tasteful! We loved the wrap around porch with the big white rockers! The golf cart and Wi Fi was excellent to use. I liked the house's location, because it was quite and peaceful (away from the hustle and bustle of the regular traffic/people). We had the bestest time ever, and appreciate the opportunity to stay in such a fine house! Just reading over the guest book emphasized how special the trip was to all the families before us, and to all families that will be there afterwards!

Owner response:WOW!!!!!! Thank you for calling our beach house "The Best Beach House Ever" That is our goal. Please come back and be our guests again and again. Every Winter we go down to get out of this Western new York weather and we make updates and add things to make our renters happy. Thank you again Camille

My family and I rented this house 6/25/11 to 7/2/11. The house was perfect. It was located in a very queit section of OL. The kitchen was well equipped and fun to cook in. There was a hugh gas grill we used often. The landscape and decor was beautiful. There was even a pack n play for our baby (saved us from having to bring one) There was also beach chairs and toys at the house we could use. During our stay, we had a problem with the upstairs AC, I called Camille and she had someone there to fix it in less than 15 mins!! WOW The front porch was amazing...we spent a lot of time on it!! BEST rental EVER!! Very FAMILY friendly! The price is amazing for all the space and the golf cart is included. We will rent this house from now on when we go to Ocean Lakes. The activities and ammenties offered by OL is amazing. Thanks for letting us enjoy your beautiful home!!

Owner response:We just love to please our guests. We invite suggestions for your enjoyment and pleasure. We know we are doing a good job as so many of our guests return each year. Camille and Louis .

We stayed for a week in May 2011. This was our fourth rental at Ocean Lakes and definitely the best. Located in the quiet corner, it is a bit further from the beach than others, but still an easy walk. This is a real house, not a doublewide. Very clean. Very nicely furnished. The front wrap around porch with tables, chairs and rockers made for comfortable outdoors relaxing. Two bedrooms upstairs, one downstairs. Two full baths. Large kitchen. We would definitely, and probably will stay there again. With the golf cart included, it is definitely an excellent value.

Owner response:Thank you for the excellent reviews. This is our only vacation house and we stay there in the Winter months of Jan, Feb. and March. Each year we update things to make it "perfect" for our renters. We are retired teachers living in Western New York State and we must rent our beach house in order to keep it. We welcome suggestions to all our renters so we may make it even better. thank you again

Thanks for wonderful memories. The house was perfect, and everything was found exactly as it was described. We appreciated the extras, like the games and puzzles, and the sand toys and beach chairs.

More wonderful vacation memories made

What a great home to spend a week away from home. It had all we needed and more, lots of room, space for the kids to play and enough room that both families were not cramped together for a week. There were more than enough beach toys that we didn't have to unpack ours. We've been staying at Ocean Lakes for more than 6 years and this was the best rental by far!

My husband and I rented this house for our honeymoon! It was great, very clean and spacious. The porch was very nice to relax on and the golf cart was a lot of fun! We will definitely rent this house again. The owners were very nice and easy to contact.

Second time still a charm

This was the second time we have rented this house for a family vacation. The house is in an excellent location in Ocean Lakes. The home is well maintained, clean and very nicely landscaped. The large open great room is ideal for eating, relaxing and enjoying time with family or friends. We love having breakfast on the large front porch while watching the sunrise, lunch while enjoying the nice breeze and dinner with food hot off the grille at the side of the house. Of course there are many nice resturants in the area but we have found the most enjoyment by either cooking on the grille or picking something up and eating on the porch. This house combined with all of the amenities of Ocean Lakes and quick walk to the beach is great. We recommend it!!
