Rear Cottage in Spring Lake

Not as expected… Although the town of the rental was beautiful and welcoming, the place itself was not so much.. on initial arrival, the instructions of entering the property was rather confusing, and getting INSIDE was even harder task. As soon as we arrived we noticed a wasp nest on the overhang and we were having issues with the door- we later found out the door handle deadbolt was BROKEN. We also saw that some of the windows were unlockable. Inside the house, there was water damage almost everywhere, other people’s belongings, wood peeling. Otherwise, me and my friend had a good stay.

Not spring lake quality. Very disappointed with cottage. Run down and not as advertised. Host was very friendly but overall cleanliness and supplies were not as expected. Kitchen was not outfitted, Garbage can didn’t even have a top. Needed to buy towels and utensils for kitchen.

not pleased One review I read before I booked cottage was that it " wasn't as quaint as pictured". I would have to say that was an understatement. Peeling walls, no privacy on window in bathroom ( blind didn't work), air mattresses (x2) didn't inflate, picture fell off wall in bedroom and left on floor, garbage overflowing in back of main house. Had to call VRBO for check in code to be sent when we arrived. Tried to get money back however became an argument with owner.

A lovely bungalow to escape to Daniel runs a great property in spring lake, 5 minute walk from the train, cozy with the essentials (beach chairs and badges) provided for. You can spend the entire trip without need for a car if you like to walk. 10-12 min walk to beach or 10 minute walk to town. Very safe, residential neighborhood. The only reason we’re knocking this to 4 stars is because there was a power issue (took out some of the lights but all the essentials including AC remained active) and cleanliness (unit could’ve used a scrub - quite a few spiders in every room). However, Daniel was incredibly responsive and attentive, bringing us additional lights, a tower fan, flashlights and having an electrician come out to assess. I imagine this will not happen again in the future and we’d happily stay here again.

Fun Time We enjoyed
