Great old school cottage, only problem was no heat, only a/c. It was only in the 40s, so cold for sitting around. Sleeping was fine. This would be lovely in warm weather if you enjoy a camp-like environment.
It’s more of an extended stay motel than a beach resort. Pretty run down, cockroaches, strange stains and smells. The place looks like it was nice back in the day, but could use a good going through to bring it up to normal cleanliness standards. Clerk asked me to leave a cash deposit which I didn’t have, and had to do a walk through on the way out. Checkout is 10am, not 11am as it says on Expedia. I’m sure it’s fine for someone looking to find a bargain motel.
This was our first experience with deceptive advertising. The condition was so poor the pictures don’t come close to what we saw. Being seniors there were no stable rails and the cottages were dirty and one was boarded up. Expedia should not be listing this proper if one complaint like this is filed. The owner refused to give us a refund which is additionally offensive to us. I should have read the reviews but I have never had a problem like this on any of our trips.
What would I say? I love this place. Very clean and very quiet. They have a kitchenette inside you can definitely cook and make your own meal no need to eat out.The Bed is very comfortable. Its been a year since I started coming here and here I am still loving this place. The price is better than anyone else. Owners are helpful and friendly.
Highly recommend for those who want a cheap but comfortable stay.
I was very disappointed with Lake Ida Beach Resort. The pictures were very misleading. I only stayed one out of three nights due to a cockroach infestation in the kitchen. I left a message for the property and received no response. I wouldn't recommend this property for anyone to stay in.

If you just need a place to stay, that’s affordable, this will probably due. Check in was easy enough and it’s pretty quiet other than highway noise. If you’re looking for luxury or amenities then this probably isn’t it. Strong smell of marajuana when we first pulled up to our “cabin”, as some were out on the pier smoking. Seems there are some regulars living in a few of the occupancies and a few strange people around, but otherwise it wasn’t too bad.
If there’s no where else to stay, I’d stay again. Staff was friendly. But if there are other options I’d look there first.
Very cozy. Nice kitchen. Stove, microwave, large fridge, dishes and utensils. Older units with charm. Quiet and comfortable. Will stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
This place just felt unclean. It smelled like old cigarettes, the pillowcases and sheets were kind of dingy and rough. When we arrived to check in, the front desk person handed me a key and said "room 6." That was the only communication we got. I obviously looked confused because then he said "have you been here before?" I said no, and then he pointed to where I needed to go. It was just overall not the best.
The bed was comfortable and the area was quiet. Kitchen utensils were very limited and the hot water was sporadic. Although the host was friendly and helpful, his accent often made it difficult to understand him.
