We stayed at the Lighthouse Cove on a suggestion from my sister. We were going for a weekend trip, and it would be my husband, my daughter, my sister, her husband and me. We were looking for someplace that would not be too costly but would still be nice. This completely fit the bill. Yes there are stairs, but anyone in relatively decent shape should be able to handle it. (there were condos available with "ground floor" access, to get to them you just cross the walkway from the parking lot.) We only had one flight down to get to our condo. From the first phone call, the staff was very pleasant, professional, and courteous. I had read the reviews, and asked a ton of questions since I have never rented a weekend condo before. When we checked in, we received a map of the property as well as what promotions were available. I really liked the condo, it was clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. We ended up getting a 2 bdrm, 2 bath. It had a king in one room (with a seperate twin fold up bed stashed in the closet- perfect for my 6 yo) and a queen in the other. Tons of linens! There was even a futon in case we needed another sleeping space. Th view from the private balcony was fantastic and well worth the small amount extra, to sit and sip coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine at night. (there were only 2 chairs though) OK, reasons we rented the condo was so we could save money on rooms and get a lot for our money. We got to keep the entire family together comfortably in a spacious condo with seperate bathrooms so we weren't tripping over each other trying to get ready for the day. There was a full kitchen with Stove, fridge, micro, toaster, coffeemaker, blender, etc. Even a Washer and dryer- Great for drying out beach towels and bathing suits. We liked the full kitchen and that helped us save money bc we cooked there instead of eating out the whole time. They also have grills, but we didn't get to use them this time. Overall a very nice time. Now for the minor issues. (and these are very minor) I was happy that I asked about pots,pans and utensils ahead of time, bc I brought a couple of my own. They only have a couple of small pots and maybe 2 small pans. While I realize it is not everyones intention to cook in-house as opposed to eating out, it would have helped to have bigger cookware. At least big enough to fit food for 6 people. The only other thing was the beds. They were pretty hard. I did voice these issues to the front desk and he did take them seriously. I am not sure what will change in the next few weeks though. He let me know they were a new management company, and they would take my suggestions into consideration. Overall, I think the many pluses won out over the minor flaws. I would definitely stay here again and would reccommend it to anyone with a party of 4 or more going to the dells.
