Cottages of Eastern Lake vacation rentals

My friends and I had an amazing time over a long weekend. The house had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. We loved that the access to eastern lake was a short walk across the road from the house. We enjoyed paddle boarding on this lake out to the beach. There are many restaurants and beaches close by in the area. We would stay here again!

The house was great for our family. Adults, teenagers and one 9 year old, one 1 year 10 months. The outside property needs a little attention. Other than that it was perfect.

Great house located within walking distance to beach. Walking distance to Kahva coffee shop and a great restaurant, Old Florida Fish House. It’s much more spacious than pictures show. All the amenities you expect in a vrbo rental house, but not much extra. Might want to pack extra toilet paper and coffee, all you get free is salt and pepper. Patio lights didn’t work, but I didn’t bother calling until we left. I did fall on the last step in the dark, so I should have called. After I left, tried to call the office, but got bored listening to the multiple options on the automatic messages, so I left a text. Hopefully they got it.

Has a wonderful time! The house was great, pros: location, bedrooms and bath for each bedroom; screened porch and back deck, golf cart, bikes, comfy beds: cons not much at all except living room small with not so great comfortable furniture, no supplies at all not even beach chairs or umbrella so had to buy, no cleaning supplies but we would definitely stay again and loved the area!

House was perfect size. Loved being able to walk to pool and a short bike ride to the beach. Very close to Seaside. Really enjoyed our stay here

Based on previous reviews, we were a little reluctant to stay here. However, it could not have been a more perfect home for our family. It’s set on a quiet street about a 5 minute bike ride from the beach. It’s also equally distant from both Seaside and Rosemary, so you can enjoy both communities without getting caught up in their crazy traffic. Both are an easy 30 minute bike ride or a 5 minute drive. Our kitchen was adequately equipped (we cooked in for all but two meals) and it has a gas grill just outside the back door. The master bedroom and bathroom were wonderful and the other two bedrooms were perfect for our single adult daughters. We’ve saved this property and expect to rent it again in the future.

Excellent place to stay and a very convenient location. The house is exactly as the pictures depict. Everything is clean, neat and decorated well. There were six of us and we all had plenty of room. Wi-fi worked well, kitchen is well appointed with everything you need and beds are comfortable. The screened in back porch is a great place for breakfast. It's a short walk or bike ride to the beach that's about a half a mile away. I would make a trip in the mini van to drop off our stuff at the beach and then we would bike back and forth the rest of the day. We left a 10x10 beach awning which came in very handy. The four bikes are great and came in very handy riding around the area. The neighborhood is beautiful and well maintained. The pool is a short walk or bike ride and is awesome as well. The only item we feel that could be improved upon is if the outdoor shower had an enclosure. RealJoy is a pleasure to do business with and were great in answering a few questions I had before our trip. Overall a great vacation and would stay here again!

First of all, we had a wonderful stay--the house is comfortable, beautifully decorated, and very clean. It had an abundance of dishes and towels and all of the kitchen appliances we needed. (The only thing one might want to bring is extra blankets if you're coming in cooler months--the linens are summer weight and there were no extras.) The beach is not as crowded as other 30a beaches, and is gorgeous. We had small children with us, so the walks from the house to the beach and the pool were a bit long (each .8 miles from the house in opposite directions--the nearest pool entrance was closed due to construction). This would not have been as much of an issue if the golf cart advertised as a main feature of the house had been in working order. The golf cart was broken on our arrival, and it was not fixed or replaced for our entire stay. The management company said that we would have to wait up to 14 days to see if we could be compensated for renting a different cart (which we were expected to do on our own). From booking the property to check out, I received over 20 emails (a bit overwhelming) from Beachwalk vacations property management with various contracts, instructions, reminders to obey community rules, etc., but when it came to helping us solve the issue of the broken golf cart, they would not reply to messages, and were not able offer helpful answers over the phone. It's unfortunate that this situation soured our experience at an otherwise wonderful rental.
