    Reserving a pontoon was easy and Beachside was extremely flexible when we needed to reschedule due to weather.

    I wanted to try Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) for about forever…read more The concierge at the Abbey gave me a coupon for a discount rental at nearby Fontana Paddle so I decided to finally give it a go. It was an excellent decision. Rates are reasonable. They fit you with a flotation vest, changing rooms are available and they have small lockers. You do not want to have your smartphone on you in the event you fall in the water on the lake. It is better to lock it up, IMO. The training overview was pretty detailed and there is a lot to remember and coordinate all at once. I liken it to riding a bike or driving a car. Once you learn it, you'll always have it and it becomes normal/natural, until then, you have to remember to switch hands, stay balanced, etc. I did go out too far from where they told me to stay, but that was unplanned. A little wind and then a boat sent me even further out which resulted in my instructor dude coming out on board to see if I was okay and if I could get back in on my own. Embarrassing, but also super cool because he gave me some on water tips that I somehow already had forgotten. Also, the further out you go, the more the wind affects you and there are more boats, so you can expend more energy on balancing rather than paddling enjoyably along. Once my guy knew I was okay and headed more in the right direction he went back and I went on to a very enjoyable experience. Prices are good. Staff is helpful. Get out early on summer weekends, too many boats on the lake will not make for a good SUP experience.

    Perfectly located on the shore of Geneva Lake in Fontana. You can walk 20 feet to the lake to…read morelaunch. I have been in the store/shop countless times over the years. They have a huge selection of standup paddle boards, kayaks and accessories. I am actually wearing one of their shirts right now. Cool thing is, I just found out they sell ans rent snow shoes also. Being right on the lake, a hike on the lake path is something to behold anytime of year. A lot of my Rockford, IL friends kayak and have either friended them on facebook, visited the website or store itself. If you have any questions while you are there, which I always have plenty which I think some are kind of dumb, they are right there to answer them. I plan to take my family for lessons this Spring.

    We rented a jet ski via credit card in advance of our rental date. DO NOT PROVIDE THIS COMPANY WITH…read moreYOUR CREDIT CARD. After we used the jet ski, we waited on the owner for over a half hour. We he arrived, he was rude, yelled and told me to back up the jet ski as he had to move his trailer onto the cement ramp. I moved back per his directive, he yelled again and told me I was too shallow and probably ruining the jet ski. He pulled it out, looked at it and told me the jet ski was fine. He then explained he was late as one of his other jet ski's sunk in another lake. During this ordeal, I had 3 other people witness this situation. One week later I received a bill in the mail with an additional $600 charge applied to my credit card. I immediately called to find out why and was told rocks had ruined the propeller when I backed up into the shallow water. Recall, this was the owners demand. I explained the situation, but they insisted it was my fault. I called the credit card company to dispute charges. Good Time Rentals informed the credit card company that we did not pay for 'their insurance,' therefore, we were liable. I spoke to Good Time Rentals and asked for an itemized repair bill. At first, they told me they sent it out for repair. Now, they claim, they fixed it in-house and do not have an itemized bill. If they really a repair, they would have a bill or a bill for parts used. Again, I've called the credit card company with a fraud complaint. I've also issued a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Beware, DO NOT RENT equipment from Good Time Rentals. You will have a 'horrible time' in dealing with their dishonest business practices.

    I've purchased multiple Hewitt lifts from this company and have experienced the same issue with…read moreeach one. I'm not sure if it was a manufacturer defect, or if it wasn't assembled properly by Good Time Rentals (also known as lakeside solutions). The planks which the boat sit on consistently lean to the point that the boat looks like it's going to fall over (see photos of company under google review for my specific lift). Unfortunately Kathy and Ken have been COMPLETELY unresponsive in my request to get this fixed. They admitted something was amiss with the lift and haven't seen the issue often, but have failed to offer any solutions or assistance even though the lift is still under warranty. Both of the owners screen my calls and will not answer their phones. Every once in a great while I receive a text message they'll take a look at it, but they've never made good on this. Long story short, don't touch this company with a ten foot pole. I'm also filing a complaint to the Better Business Bureau and Hewitt lifts about the TERRIBLE customer service I've experienced over the last two years.
