A wonderful stay at Blue Bungalow

The property was clean, well maintained and very comfortable for our family of 11. The neighborhood was walkable and enjoyable. A car is definitely needed to go to shopping areas, including groceries. It would be nice if there were some basic spices available, like salt and pepper, for those who choose to prepare meals at home. But, we were prepared by Management that this would not be so, so we brought or bought our own. Otherwise the kitchen was adequately equipped. The living spaces are big enough for everyone to gather together as needed. We very much enjoyed our visit and would return, but not in summer when the traffic lines would be unbearable. You would need a golf cart or bicycles for transportation, and even these would be difficult for older adults. I would think there could be some danger also for all but the most alert bicyclists during peak rental seasons. One must be prepared for long walks for shopping and sightseeing. But, overall, it was a wonderful stay immediately after Christmas for our family.

Great for a big family.

Stayed here with a our family of 5 plus 2 other families with plenty of room. Pool was great and walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all. Only suggestion I would have would be to spray for ants out by the pool/ table and chairs. Other than that no complaints, would definitely stay here again!

Family Friendly

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Bungalow! We loved the location of the house, it was very quiet and feels private. We had 9 adults total in our group and 2 kids (age 2 and 3). The setup of the house was perfect for us and the pool is a huge plus, especially with little kids! The house feels very homey instead of just another rental and it was very clean. The beach access is just around the corner from the house, the only downside is you do have to walk across a small part of the lake to get to the beach so pack light! The only thing I would change about the house is the lack of bathroom space upstairs. There are only 2 bathrooms and they are very small with barley any counter space but we made due!

Beautiful property, terrible neighbors

We absolutely loved the property, however had repeated unwarranted complaints from neighbors about noise and number of cars in our driveway (which never exceeded the max amount). For a house that sleeps 16, we felt that we couldn’t even enjoy the pool or sit on the front porch to sip our coffee in fear of getting a noise complaint (2 visits from police and 3 visits from management) from a neighbor who told us “I am on week 6 of spring break and over it”. It’s unfortunate that such a wonderful home in a great location is not suitable for large groups that want to enjoy the basic amenities of the property.

Great house with huge screened in porch

Our group really enjoyed this house, especially the back porch. Plenty of room for 8 adults to hang out (with several beds to spare). The beach access is convenient - the closer beach access may require wading through water from lake and the other beach access down the road is small and does not allow tents and canopies. Comments for Benchmark: The alarm on the door for pool safety is not functioning properly and we never found the tv remote for the living room.

Perfect Bungalow

The house is amazing. The location is great. Lots of room for the whole family (16) ranging from infant to 70s. The porches are a great addition to the indoor open area. Beautiful place to watch the sunset. Recommend renting a golf cart and bikes!

Awful management company - beware. Electrical issues.

We have been renting properties around the world for the past 20 years. We rented this property for Christmas for a party of 8. An hour before check-in the property management company called us to inform us the refrigerator was not working and that they could not find anyone to come out and fix it, but were working on it. They then flippantly said that it was really no problem because the owners had *graciously* allowed us to use the outdoor fridge in their private garage. To help I started calling around and found someone who could come out. When I called them back, they said “Oh, in actuality they did have it looked at and it cannot be fixed. The owners are buying a new one and it won’t be delivered until after your stay.” I asked why they had not said that before, and they said – “but you have a perfectly working fridge outside the owners have *agreed* to let you use.” “So, you want a party of 8, to go back and forth (it was through the house, the patio and down to the pool) in the cold for 8 days cooking every day?” She did not see an issue with this. I asked to speak to the manager. She called back after 30 min and offered a cooler with ice. Next call I made they offer a minifridge. When the manager called back, she stated their same position, that there was no problem as the owners were *allowing* us to use their garage fridge. Their tone and their flippant nature about this was remarkable. We ended up going back and forth to the garage fridge (got locked out of the garage once – called to get it opened), buying ice for the cooler and making do. The house, lot and area are nice, but they do have electrical problems (reason why brand-new fridge broke?) We had to reset the breaker 4x as the bottom of the house lost power. It’s been renovated but has sub-par fixtures - most door handles have issues (my daughter got stuck in the bathroom 2x), the faucet knobs have leaks and feel they will fall off anytime. It’s a rental, so I get it. The lookout tower is fabulous, and overall the house is comfortable. Just beware that you might have some essential item go out during your stay (because electrical issue we witnessed) and you’ll be stuck with whatever fix they think is acceptable. No pricing adjustments as they’ll be quick to point to contract on how things happen that are beyond their control (fair), but the tone/heartless way of addressing the issue will have you wishing you were elsewhere and had rented directly from an owner.
