wonderful location that steps from the beach and close to a lot of attractions in the area. The only challenge I had was I have a mobility scooter to get to my van and there is an unnumbered parking spot at the tennis court entrance with the handicap ramp. So when people were parked in the spot i could not get out and have access to the van. You might want to consider talking to the property about striping it due to the handicap ramp like the ramp is striped for access to the pool. We would stay again

Lakeside Beach House

We stayed for five nights at the Lakeside Beach House. We have two boys, ages 11 and 14, and the house was perfect! Our whole family enjoyed our stay very much.
Donna checked in with us frequently. As soon as the house was ready, we received a text that we could check in a few hours earlier than expected.
On our first day, we went to the beach in the late afternoon. We quickly found two men who helped us get chairs and an umbrella. We were placed in the second row, but when we arrived the next day at 9:00, one of the men told us we were already set up in the first row because he sensed I was a little disappointed being in the second row. The chairs and umbrella were set up before we even got to the beach for the rest of our stay.
When we arrived, the house was clean. We all enjoyed feeding the turtles with the turtle food provided, which lasted us all week. The house was stocked with everything we needed. I brought additional toilet paper, paper towels, and dish soap, but I never needed them. I did one to two loads of laundry daily, so I brought and used my detergent and dryer sheets, but two pods were provided for free. The house was around a five-minute walk to the beach. The king bed was one of the comfiest beds I have ever slept on. Donna provided links to the bed and bedding, which was so kind. The beach house is in a great location near shops and dining.
We had a great time and have no complaints at all!
