Our family (including grandparents) truly loved Ocean Lakes! Communication with Carol and the checkin process, etc., was very stress free and easy.
It would have been nice to know upfront that there is an additional $70 fee per vehicle for the week. That was an unexpected cost that added up quickly with 4 vehicles.
The location of the house was truly fantastic! It was close to everything and afforded the opportunity for us to allow the kids (ages 10-17) to pretty much come and go as they pleased with easy access to beach, fantastic pool and water park, market, grill, putt putt, etc., They really loved the golf cart parade that occurred at night on the “strip” too. We did have the added cost to rent a golf cart as well, but it was worth it.
Although the house is listed as 5 bedrooms and 3 FB we found it to be small for our family of 12.
The master bedroom felt like it was in the middle of the living room and did not afford any privacy at all. Additionally, all of the beds were on wooden platforms which made for them to be very loud and uncomfortable. We pretty much woke each other up every time we moved in the night.
The kitchen was stocked well enough for us to get by with preparing meals for everyone and it was great to have such a large table to be able to sit any enjoy everyone’s company.
The exterior of the house is in need of a significant power washing. The spiders have pretty much claimed the outdoor space as their own - amazing how fast they can rebuild all of those webs!!! But, at least we didn’t have any issues with mosquitoes, especially being so close to the water!
We will definitely be returning to Ocean Lakes again! Thank you very much for sharing your home for our family vacation! :)
