About this cottage rental

Bedroom: 2 | Bathroom: 1 | Sleeps: 4

This cozy coach house can be rented alone, or together with Vacation Station. Flip Flops are a must for your packing list to stay at Bus Stop this summer. This cozy spot is just what a small family or group of friend’s needs. Bus Stop brings you to the heart of the Beachwalk Resort within walking distance of everything across the street from the private resort pool and brand-new sprinkler pad to the beautiful shores of the private Lake Kai. Did we mention the pool is heated and there is a kiddie pool for the little swimmers? You can take a walk to the snack shop and get a soft serve Ice-cream cone on your way to the beach. Pack the complementary wagon with your gear and enjoy your day at the beach, which is only a 5-minute walk from your doorstep.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As I have mentioned to staff, this condo needs updating. The outside furniture which I understand will be replaced is so rusty, I can’t imagine sitting on it. We like the location and for that reason will likely stay again. Please do not use my comments for any reason even by referring to my location. Any friend recommendation would be with a caveat about need for update. I think it is fair to say couch needs to be cleaned if not replaced.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was just as shown in the pictures. It is small but has two bedrooms (one is very small with bunk beds, good for kids) and a washer/dryer, which came in very handy for a beach vacation. Contrary to the info we were given, there was no dishwasher, but we really didn't miss it. The location was great - a short block to the pool and coffee shop, just off the main road. A few things to consider - it is on the second floor so be prepared to climb the stairs. The deck is small and the deck furniture is metal so not very comfortable. Inside, as it is small, there is limited seating. The couch was not very clean. The single non-kitchen chair was very old, with no springs left. Sitting in it was very uncomfortable. It would be nice if they replaced it with a newer one. We stayed only a few nights and it was just the two of us, so it was fine. With more people, or for a longer stay, it would not be our choice. We must add - the people onsite were very nice and helpful. We called maintenance for one small thing and someone came right away and solved the issue.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed here with the family for a weekend. Location was very nice, rental company was very nice. Easy checkin and the place was clean.That said, it was very outdated. Furniture was old, beds uncomfortable. Bathroom and cabinets not in great shape. Doors would not lock. Fireplace would not work. One small tv on the floor. Deck wood was old with splinters. BBQ did not look like something we wanted to cook on. Overall, I would not recommend anyone to stay there.
