Sand Sun and Surf!!! -- Private Lake Michigan Beach Getaway w/ heated pool!!

We enjoyed staying here, and especially appreciated the convenience to both the beach and the pool! Relatively quiet and well-stocked lower-level condo with just a short drive to St. Joe’s.

This is a wonderful location, we really enjoyed having the golf cart to ride to take to a well kept beach spot, it would have been quite the walk, especially with all our beach stuff. The heated pool was so much fun for the kids, definitely a plus for this rental.Being that this Unit is a bottom level (garden entrance) it is much like a basement, with so much moisture, the dehumidifier could not keep up. We literally emptied the dehumidifier up to 7-10 times a day. The air conditioner was two wall units that were not working properly, the main wall unit in the main living area was leaking water our entire stay, we put our plastic tub under the unit and collected 4-5 gallons of water in a day. The owner said that he would get someone out to fix it, but wanted us to be there, but we were out doing our vacation, so it never got repaired while we were there, and was insufficient cooling. The moisture left a musty smell that was difficult for those with allergies. Lastly, this is a bottom unit with two other units above it, making it excessively noisy at times.

Great location, great Condo, great pool. Close to beaches.

Great place to stay. Quiet. Beach was amazing and very private! Definitely come back again!

Very nice good size 3 bedroom lower level apartment with two bathrooms very well stocked kitchen with everything you could need including coffee, pods, and sweeteners they had beach chairs wagon anything you could need for the beach and the pool was always very nice

Very clean, bigger than expected, great beach experience, loved the pool access

Although this condo is well equipped for a beach getaway MANY things about the listing were misleading. This listing reads as though it’s a private house. It is a condo… in a basement with cannibis lovers and what I can only assume was a herd of children hopped up on Mountain Dew as neighbors. If anyone in your group is a light sleeper, look elsewhere as the “sound proofing” leaves little to the imagination and upstairs neighbor bathroom habits will be known to you. The pool is shared with two condo buildings. The “private entrance” is a patio shared with two other units that has small storage boxes as dividers. The only entrance/exit is a sliding glass door. No deadbolt. Children’s room directly located next to sliding door.No view of lake/beach from this unit unless it’s winter, maybe? Master bedroom has no windows which is great if you need total darkness to sleep. Very musty and damp despite dehumidifier. Uneven flooring and too-small doorways made it nearly impossible for my elderly mother (currently needing a walker) to stay with us.

The property was very convenient to the lake and the pool was great. Upstairs people were a bit noisy but overall it was a great weekend getaway. The dehumidifier ran on overload and it can be a bit musty smelling but not enough to ruin our time there.

Normally I am not one to leave reviews, but I feel like I need to validate why I gave the score I did for this rental. Upon arrival, it was beyond difficult to even get the slider door open, it took two people to get it opened and then to get it locked when we left, which could be an issue if you are not strong enough to get it closed. While the place was clean and well maintained, there is a horrible musty smell that comes from the master bedroom. We thought with some air fresheners this would go away, but it did not. As someone that is spending a lot of money to stay here for 3 nights, I think these things should be disclosed. Lastly, whoever stayed above us decided from 1AM – 4AMthey were going to run back and forth – quite literally they went from one end to the other on repeat and then there was dragging of furniture for several hours. The first night we thought maybe they got in late and were unloading, but it happened every single night. While we know this is something that you can’t necessarily control, just would like others to be aware that this can happen during their weekend. If you have kids or plan on being loud yourself, then you won’t really worry about it. The plus is there is a nice pool and walking distance to the beach – it is a steep hill coming back, but doable. The weekend overall turned out great and like I said, it was good enough for what it was, but I would want to be warned of these things, especially when a lot of money is involved for a we

Condo and Owner was spot on. The amenities and communication for any questions were handled, it was clean, quiet and just what we wanted. The pool was so perfect and warm, clean and not once did we have to share it. The lake/beach was all ours also! Path made it easy access, and was any easy walk from condo. We maybe saw 5 humans the entire time, which is what we wanted! The sound of water was perfect, and the small View we had of beach/lake we wanted more of!

The place had all the essentials (except towels). It was a short walk, or golf cart ride, to the lake. We suggest the golf cart! It made it very easy to take all the things we needed to the lake. The pool was warm and right out the back door. The host was easy to communicate with and made the whole procedure easy! It was a great family vacation for us!

The arrival and check-in was a little confusing but owner sent exact instructions step by step where to find key and process. One mistake right side post instead of left side post. Owner very responsive! The property/owner had a new golf cart for the ride down to the beach. Renting the golf cart a must as the walk down is steep if you are transporting any beach play items! Location excellent! Pool had issues with pump but the owner keep us up to date on the progress. South Haven and St Joe very short drives. Many food and drink options. Dave, Kathy, Ken and Linda

We enjoyed our stay. The private beach was great.
