Cute lil' beachy cottage

We stayed here for my birthday/our babymoon. We really enjoyed our time. It's decorated very cute and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The air conditioner works great. We enjoyed taking walks around the nearby lakes. And there is an ice cream/coffee shop/arcade steps away from the cottage, which was fun to visit. We also enjoyed a dinner date right down the road at The Strand. The food was very good! The host was also very helpful and communicative through VRBO messaging, always available to answer any questions right away.

Great location. Perfect little cottage!

This was the perfect weekend getaway for our 15th anniversary. Walking distance to a few restaurants and in the middle of 3 lakes. Nice outdoor area also. Would have liked a small beach area for those staying at the cottages. Only negative would be the ceiling fan in the bedroom is off balance and made an annoying sound all night.

The property was cute and had everything that was needed. With just a few updates it can really be exceptional. However, it served its purpose for a quiet couple of days at a good price point.

I really liked the coziness of cottage 7. We had all of our favorite amenities (fridge, microwave, sink, tv, etc.) to make our stay comfortable. The cottage seemed like it was recently remodeled. It was clean with a welcoming beach theme. The only thing that was missing was closet space or hooks to hang up our jackets. My husband and I loved this place and plan on coming back next year.

Older cottages with partial facelift

We were there for a family reunion. Separate cottages and the common areas were great for that purpose. Our cottage had no hanging space for clothes, very noisy, unbalanced fan, and the fan light did not work. Extremely small bathroom that was not all that clean. Not well set up when we arrived. No garbage bags, limited toiletries, and we had 3 plates. Our family in other cottages did not have sufficient plates and glasses and some had no toiletries and a sink backed up. The staff should just make sure that there are 8 plates, bowls, glasses etc. in every cabin. I did communicate with management and they were very responsive. You are not right on the lake but very close and you do have your own dock. The area has many restaurants that are walk able.

quick overnight

very cute little cottage ! we were in town for a birthday party and the location was perfect..we could walk to the Driftwood and The Strand...my only constructive feedback would be to upgrade the sleeper sofa. The frame is really sagging so it was not comfortable at all. property is very nice and clean as well-overall a great spot!
