The place looks exactly like the pictures and was very clean. Brian got back with us almost instantly each time I had a question and was great with communicating with us! One of the best stays I have ever had! ##### Kate C. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam P.

Very close to the dunes and a short drive to town. Wild turkeys walking thru the yard often. Property manager easily accessible by phone or text if you need anything. ##### Adam P. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Angel F. Sep 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Coke Cottage The cottage was clean and the kitchen and bathroom were updated. There was plenty of hot water and towels. The beds were comfy, but extra blankets would have been nice. There seemed to be a smell of mold which bothered us, but we tolerated it. I would stay again, but the stay would be so much more enjoyable if the owner would update the living room and add more sitting room, and just make it more appealing to the eyes. Overall I’d give Coke Cottage a 7/10! ##### Angel F. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tyler M.

Me and my 4 friends had an absolute blast staying here! Great communication with the renter. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! (Be aware of the smoke detectors near the stove though it goes off very easily even with the fan on!) ##### Averey B. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Troy W. Jun 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family getaway If there were 10 stars for this property I would give them. My kids had an absolute blast at this cabin. The location is absolutely perfect. We came to see sand dunes and they’re literally just down the road. The sleeping arrangements were perfect also. With 4 kids(whom mostly don’t get along lol) the 4 beds in the loft meant no fighting over who had to sleep with who. My kids also loved exploring the property. Beautiful and wide open up front and heavily treed in the back. My kids loved walking amongst the trees and exploring. My wife and I are already talking about a winter trip and hoping to book the same cabin. The owner was easy to get in touch with and responded in a timely fashion. Thank you for letting us stay and we will be back in touch. ##### Troy W.
