Thank you for staying with Ocean Reef Resorts and providing this valuable feedback. Please let us know if we can assist in any future travel plans you may have.
This place was a true hidden gem—perfect for a laid-back week at the beach. While it doesn’t offer a direct ocean view, the private heated pool and peaceful lake views from the balconies more than made up for it. The beach is just a short walk away, with access to a quiet, neighborhood-only stretch that felt uncrowded and relaxing. The home itself was clean, comfortable, and wonderfully private—exactly what we were hoping for.

Loved the home and everything it had to offer. There was an issue with the pool upon our arrival but the owners/property managers tended to it quickly to get it back in commission. The walk to the beach was short and easy! Loved the location!

Loved the neighborhood! So snuggled in with beautiful trees! The house is spacious and so nice. We sat on the porch that was screened in alot. We loved the art work in the house, and all of the decor! We didnt swim much because pool was cold and in shade. Its a short walk to the beach, so we stayed there alot.

Clean property, easy check in and out. Ocean Reef great to book with. Only negative the pool had tons of leaves from trees that were right over the top of pool.

Overall a great stay at this lovely home. The pool was great and was located near the beach. Just a short 2-minute walk to the beach. It was great for a family of 5. I would definitely stay here again.

Quiet and secluded, yet close to everything!
The pool so yummy and cool and primarily in the shade which is perfect for a redhead who stays out of the sun.
Will bring my family next time!

Very comfortable cottage. Loved the pool area in the front of the house. Such a charming place.
We'd rented this home for the Groom's family for our daughter's wedding. We rented 3 other homes in the Kokomo Cove neighborhood. The lake view was so tranquil & the home was very nice.

This was a perfect winter getaway. The house was exactly as pictured! Our boys loved swimming in the heated pool and the quick walk to play on the beach. They also enjoyed sleeping in the bunk beds. We are already looking forward to returning next year!

This was a great property. It was a less than 5 minute walk to the private beach access. A previous review had recommended a small fan got the bunk room in the master closet. We brought a fan and that was perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

This was very peaceful and quiet. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed, plenty of towels, and comfortable beds! The pool was perfect for our kids and the neighborhood was super quiet! It was also very close the the beach. It was a little dusty, but overall was clean. We would definitely stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
The property was beautiful. We all loved the property. When we needed assistance entering the beach gate code, we had to call the property management. She kept emphasizing that it had already been given to us via email. She was rude, but I overlooked it. I thought that's why we paid the added fees for any questions or concerns we needed answered.

We had 8 people stay here comfortably. 3 adults, 2 teens and 3 under 12. Lots of room, super clean, AC worked great pool was clean and a great neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again. My only wish item would have been more toilet paper for a 5 day stay. But still a 5 star vacay spot!

The house was perfect for our family vacation. The location was very good. The only issue was they were building a house next door and there was a lot of noise and sawdust from this. Other than that it was awesome!!!!
