This was our fourth annual trip to Ocean Lakes, and once again, the house did not disappoint! It’s cozy yet charming, and it was the perfect fit for the three of us—and our giant dog (permission given from our host) Communication with the host was excellent—quick and responsive. We encountered a minor issue during our stay, but the hosts addressed it immediately and even followed up the next day to make sure everything was resolved.Despite its compact size, the home was well-equipped with all the essential appliances and a surprisingly wide range of kitchen tools. I especially appreciated the abundance of charging ports throughout the bedrooms, even by the bunk bedsThe front porch was a standout feature, complete with rocking chairs, ceiling fans, and a closed in deck. It was the ideal spot for relaxing, people-watching, and hanging out with our dog.The location is right at the edge of the campground, just a short walk to the beach, Sandi Mart, and the pool. While it did get a bit busier during the day and could be slightly noisy at night depending on nearby groups, it was never disruptive—just livelier than some other areas we’ve stayed in.Parking is available in the driveway beside the house and can accommodate two small cars. Our larger truck was a tight squeeze. There’s also room in front of the porch for a golf cart, and we easily stored our bikes out front as well.There’s even a small grill provided at the back of the house, which was a great bonus!
