Had stayed here last year before the name change and new ownership I'm assuming, but place was nice! Had everything I needed to be comfortable and a view of the lake on the deck was a plus! Spacious enough for a couple or three in the particular unit I had. Overall, veeey decent place and if you can book it in the summer time, you're right in the heart of the Weirs!

We recently stayed in one of the apartment style units. After reading reviews I was alittle scared. I was very impressed with the unit when we got there. It was clean and had everything we needed. We were walking distance to everything which was great! We had a blast and are planning on staying again next year!

So far,so good. Great view of Lake, very hidden here. Out of sight but not mind,my 2020 vacation time. Some Feedback though; There's slow WiFi & No smart TV,so no casting ability & even being a Former Comcast & Home Theater Tech expert,no TV or Cable box control over zoomed/cropped improper aspect ratio on wall flat screen,cuts off textL Bedroom in 3 needs Easy to access power strip, outlets are so hard to get to for phone on nightstand to charge.

It was EXACTLY what we were looking for, at a great price! The only reason 4 stars vs 5, is because there's really nowhere to sit in the living room. TheresTa day bed and kinda uncomfortable dining chainrs- I use a pillow to sit on! Lol. However, there's the two separate rooms, so my stepson can sleep in living room and an AC in bedroom which kreos the whole place rather comfortable! NICE kitchen, with full stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, and all the utenxuut for cooking and eating you need!! Shower's really really small, but it's ok! Nice little beach and shops a stroll away! GREAT getaway for those who want a home away from home experience... Also, only 4 stars, Because the internet might as well be useless... I'd come back though!

We highly recommend Lake Life Inn. Our hostess Stacy could not be more welcoming & helpful. It's a very easy check in, the room had everything you need & more like renting a little cabin than a hotel room. The location is close to the Pier and Boardwalk but somehow peaceful and laid back. It's a very friendly street with a swimming spot a few steps down. We love it here!

Our family summer tradition! My kids have a blast at the arcades! The railroad and scenery itself around the boulevard are worth visiting ! Don't forget to catch the lastest flicks at the drive in theater! The gift shops on the boulevard are wicked cute and sell modern items . Even the candy shops are worth talking about ! My family has enjoyed Weirs Beach for a few years now , we look forward to making many more memories over the years !
