This house was perfect for our little families weekend away! It was very clean, check-in and check out instructions were clear and easy to follow, our host, Sam, was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our vacation! Check in was a breeze. The house has everything we needed to have a great time at the beach! Love the outdoor shower and the golf cart! Thanks again, would definitely stay again!
This place was perfect for us. The location was great, close to everything we wanted to do. The campground itself was awesome. We will definitely be back.
This is such a cute place to stay with your small family. We enjoyed it and was the perfect size for me, my husband and our 4 kids. The property manager is super nice and helpful. The house was amazingly clean and the cleaning crew they have does a superb job. Definitely would recommend this house if you’re looking for a small affordable place to stay.
We just got back on Saturday from a week stay at the Surf Shack. We had a wonderful vacation and the Surf Shack was a great place to stay. The owner responded quickly to any questions we had and the neighbors on both sides were very friendly and offered great recommendations on restaurants. We enjoyed the porch and it was a great place for our dog to hang out since it was fenced in. We will definitely rent the Surf Shack again!!
Owner very responsive for this cute little cottage!
The cottage was super cute & clean upon arrival. We did have 4 adults that somehow worked within the living quarters but it’s definitely tight. We enjoyed the beach and the outdoor shower. Neighbors were all friendly and helpful with offering places to eat, things to do, etc.Very family oriented place to stay with maximum security. Owner was responsive at all times & helped a lot.
We loved staying at the surf shack. Added another day last last minute and Sam took care of it seamlessly. This is a camper with two built on rooms. The only thing I would suggest is putting another air conditioned unit to cool the camper side of this rental. Great fun, great stay. We would stay again. Very clean when we arrived. Loved being pet friendly so we could bring both of our dogs.
Property is very old. One bedroom is in the kitchen. Shower is not good. I just used the outside shower. Need more parking. Overall we still enjoyed ourselves.
This rental was the epitome of life in Ocean Lakes. It was a whole vibe. While you could say it was small, the spaces were perfect for us. The bonus bathroom and shower outside was the best part, easy to get the little one in and then he didnt even want to leave. The fenced in porch was also perfect for our pup and kid, as a point of reference to not go by and gave us the safety and comfort. On top of that, Sam was always quick to communicate back if we had any questions. Only issue I had was with the internet which is more to the mercy of the provider and location, so just heads up if you are wanting to work. who works at the beach tho?! We had a blast and cant wait to go back. Our kid loved "his beach house" and the golf cart was available for us and the absolute best thing! the six seats was a huge bonus!

Don’t trust this owner with your credit card. He now wants to charge a fee after the fact that was not disclosed at booking. It’s a great place so long as you don’t mind getting ripped off

Pictures of house were very misleading, there is only one bedroom, the other “bedroom” is in the kitchen, and only separated by a shower curtain. Outside shower didn’t work properly. Location of house is surrounded by properties under construction, so if you don’t want to listen to construction all week I wouldn’t rent. Also inside shower is unfinished with paint chipping and mold like spots with a rusty shower caddy to hold your shower items. Outside kitchen area was dirty, and outside fridge was full of old and rotten food, and milk. Air conditioning only covers living room area, no other rooms in the house. Pull out couch bed does not work like a pull out couch. The price of this house is not worth the size or accommodations. Pictures very misleading, rate 2/10.
This was our first time in Ocean Lakes and the property owner was amazing! He was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Our family can’t wait to come back again! We would love to stay again in this property. It was the perfect size for us.
As a family of four (kids 7&3) for our first beach trip, this home was great. The property manager had great communication and we really enjoyed our trip!
This trip was one of our favorites! This house was perfect for our kiddos and pets with the cute fenced in patio area. The outdoor shower/bathroom was a very nice touch. It was spotless when we arrived as well. Beautiful beach house on a quiet street. 10/10! Thank you Sam!
This was our first time staying in a permanent site at Ocean Lakes and it was a great one. This house has everything you need and easily slept 2 adults and 4 kids ages 3, 5, 8, and 12. The outdoor kitchen is excellent. We would definitely consider staying here again.
