☀Private Beach Access~Pet Friendly Patio~3BR Lakeside Sandcastle at Kokomo

What a beautiful home tucked in a private area along the water. Everything was exactly as described and better in person, some friends and I took a trip over for the weekend. I still can’t get over the master bedroom views would highly recommend this place. Thank you real joy.!

Unfortunately, my stay here was absolutely disgusting. The place was infested with roaches everywhere. I found them scurrying around the master bedroom, and one even crawled on me in the middle of the night. I had to take matters into my own hands and kill it. The little ones were running around the cupboards, and it was clear the place hadn't been properly cleaned in a while. The couches were super dirty, and the rugs and carpets were heavily stained. Overall, I'd advise against staying here until they address their cleanliness and pest issues. Attempted to contact the host on the issue. No reply.

The home is a great location. It was just a short walk to the private beach. We had a great time. Home has a lot of natural light. If you want to sleep in, I’d bring a sleep mask.

Great location . Needs upgrades. Realjoy is an outstanding host. Already booked a different RealJoy property for 2026.

Water stains on ceiling . We both have cuts on our feet from sharp transitions between bathrooms upstairs. They told us to wear shore. Windows were dirty and some had some type of moss growing on the majority of the glass. The pictures showed a beautiful firepit but there were plants growing over the pit . Made it usable. And why only one chair by the pit when there were 2 of us? The deck appeared rotten especially walking in to the home. We decided to stay off the deck as it looked like dangerous. My wfie fell while walking away from the trash containers. She may have broken her wrist. We plan on her getting it looked ar when we get home. Weve always had a great time in the houses we rented but hot this time. 2 of the neighbors told us the home was in need of being bulldozed and a new home rebuilt. Seems they know more than we did. I can say the pictures used to advertise the house rental were beautiful but not realistic.

My family and I had a fantastic stay! The house was just as described and we had no issues during our stay.

My family and I had a great experience at this home! It was easy walking distance to the beach, and in a great neighborhood.

The perfect size and location for our mom/daughter trip. It was bright, comfortable and right across the street from the beach…a very short walk. Loved all the rooms and the fact that everyone had some “space”. I would totally stay here again. My one, very tiny complaint, is that I wish there had been instructions for the induction stove top.

Beautiful neighborhood and a fun and easy walk to the access of a family friendly beach!!!!! We loved our stay! The location was central to all the places we wanted to visit on our bucket list!!!!

Location is great but needs updating and major upgrades to the property (main bathroom is very dated.) Decking is in need of repair. Outdoor furniture needs a good cleaning. The lake view was nice. Thank you.
