OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Our closest beach is at Stop 37, 1 mile down the road. There is no vehicle parking allowed (strictly enforced), so when we don't feel like walking, we drop off our family and supplies with the car, and the driver returns to the beach via the bike in the shed. There are also several stunning beaches with parking a short drive away detailed in our guidebook you'll receive ahead of your stay.

The 4th bedroom is in a separate single-room building on the property (next to the hot tub). It doesn't have a bathroom, but it does have heating / air conditioning.

We offer parking for 4 vehicles. Street parking is not available, and there is no nearby overnight public parking facility.

We do not allow any pets at the property.

This isn't a party home; it's in a beautiful quiet, cozy neighborhood with more permanent residents than rentals. We do not allow guests that are not part of the reservation to visit the home (even if not staying the night) unless pre-approved.

    We had a wonderful family vacation. The location is tucked away in the woods for privacy, but close enough to some beautiful beaches. It was very clean, well appointed, and our kids loved riding the bikes that were provided.

    We have been renting in Michianna Shores, for over 25 years, and this years rental was by far, the cleanest home we have stayed in. It was comfortable and sparse, with just the right amount of decor. We found the dishwasher and oven to be a bit tricky on the settings, although we eventually figured how to work them. Since we eat every meal in, we found the cookware and dish towels to be somewhat lacking. We made do and rewashed as we went along. We enjoyed the screened in porch, the fire pit, and the adult bikes that were available. The additional dwelling was comfortable albeit, it lacks a bathroom. The garden lights lit up our path for nighttime reentry into the main house. Allison was excellent in answering any questions or issues we encountered. We highly recommend this home.

    This place is exactly as pictured, The area around it is very quiet and peaceful. We appreciated the supply of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, toilet paper and trash bags. There were a lot of high quality touches to the entire place. Even the throws and pillows. We did have an issue with the kitchen sink but maintenance was sent immediately and it was resolved. Maintenance man was very personable and kind. I was desperate for an early check in and the host was able to grant me that which was so helpful. The house and area overall were just so peaceful and serene. Highly recommend this property. Host is extremely prompt and helpful.
