The neighborhood was great and the screened porch provided an excellent place for our granddaughter, when we weren’t in the pool. We will remember this location in the future.
Property was dirty upon arrival. Had to mop floors due to our feet and socks being black with the filthy floors. Chewed up gum on front porch. Pool was broken and unable to be used. Property said they would refund the money from the pool heating but have not communicated back if they are going to compensate anything due to the pool being unable to be used at all. Pool was also filthy. Location of house was perfect. They said pool would be fixed Monday and the pool guy never came out until Thursday and never fixed due to waiting on a part. I get that but no compensation as in refund of any money for not being able to use a major amenity and no communication about it is frustrating.

Wonderful experience! Comforts of home & more. Spacious enough for all kids, grandkids, as well as my two pets! Perfect location. Private pool was great while grandbabies napped & evening relaxation & privacy!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled your family loved your second stay and enjoyed the views and golf cart rides. We’d love to welcome you back again soon!
Highly recommend this place! Amazing location!! The golf cart is an added bonus. Place was clean and convenient and perfect for myself, my husband, our 3 and 4 year old, my mom, mother and father in law! Only complaint is that the outlets are super loose and will hardly hold a plug which is a nuisance.

Thank you for sharing! We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with us.
Our family of 9 recently stayed at this location over the Christmas holiday and it was perfect. Great size, plenty of room for everyone and literally less than a block away from the beach. A few things were broken when we arrived but they responded quickly and fixed promptly. The only downfall was the pool heater wasn’t working during our stay. Will definitely stay again!

Jolece, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Kokomo Kove! Isn't Kokomo Kove in the best location? Walking to the beach is a breeze. We apologize for any inconvenience with the pool heater. Unfortunately, sometimes parts are not available immediately and that is something beyond our control. We hope to host you again in the future!

We stayed at this property for 5 nights. The water hose to the pool had a leak going. I messaged the property manager and they had it fixed extremely quickly.
Great location. Heated pool was perfect for cooler days. Golf cart huge bonus getting to and from the beach. Hosts responsive for requests. Clean and fairly updated. Nice to have beach chairs/toys available. We could’ve used additional instructions for TV usage and more visible pool instruction posting.We’ll be back!

Thank you for sharing! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated everything the area has to offer. We would gladly welcome you back anytime for another fantastic experience.
A group of friends and I stayed at this property for a bachelor party and had a great time. The property is clean and very close to the beach. The provided golf cart makes beach trips throughout the day easy and painless. The only thing I'd caution folks about is that there are 4 bedrooms with three beds and 1 bunk bed. The property sleeps 20 if you double up every single bed including the sleep out sofa, so just keep that in mind if you have a large group. Overall I think the property is great and would definitely return for future visits.
