There’s no crying at the Sandlot Cottage!

What a charming cottage and Boardwalk Village! The cottage covered the three C’s: cute, clean, and comfortable! The baseball theme throughout was adorable. It was the perfect size for two adults, a small dog, and a few visitors for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back later this year!

Perfect Get Away

Great location, unit was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the bar, pools, restaurant, food truck, and ice cream store. With all the fun, we also got a few work-out in at the gym that is available a block away. Our unit didn't have any paper towels, kleenex or trash bags when we arrived, I'd prefer if one of each was included so we didn't need to go to the store for these essentials. Otherwsie, it was a great stay.

Great stay- that could use some improvements!

The house was cozy and clean! Nice layout of the kitchen and living room. The bed was the hardest/firmest bed I have ever slept on in my life. My back and hips are sore from sleeping on it for a 4 night stay. My husband and I are coming home very tired from losing sleep. The blankets on the bed are thin like a hotel blanket and not cozy. I am glad that I brought my own blanket. The porch is very cozy it was the highlight of the trip. There is not that many options for dinner restaurants. The restaurant close to the village, Boardwalk Grill, is very good. We brought our jetski to use on the lake. The lake is really pretty but is not a swimming lake. There are signs that explain that there is a thick algae that many have gotten sick from. If you walk past the boat launch, there is a peaceful park area that is woodsy and beautiful. We got a lot of steps in each day. The kids small pool was heated but the other pool was very cold.
