    This property was very nice. Honestly there’s a bunch to do so we didn’t stay in the house too much. Close to a beautiful beach and the small town feel was excellent. Deer would just come all around the property. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would stay again!!

    V close to the beach and downtown. The house was v clean, AC worked v efficiently - so did the wide screen TV. I spent every morning on the patio w a cup of tea and a good book. I would definitely rent this place again.

    Very clean property, had all the amenities we needed. The use of beach chairs and sand buckets were a pleasant addition. Served as an easy home base to explore the Lakeshore. Close to many shopping areas, beaches, and restaurants.

    Great location close to downtown and the beach. The house was a good size especially with the garage space for storage of all your beach gear. Fire pit was a great addition as well. Will likely look to stay here again for our next annual trip!

    This place was perfect and was just what we were hoping for! It was close to beaches, shopping, great walking neighborhood as well as the house being spotless, efficient, cozy & relaxing with everything we could need. This was a Summer Solistice drive we created about 7 yrs ago, by starting with the sunrise at 5:50am on the East side of the state in Tawas, driving across the state & seeing sunset in Manistee at 9:33pm! This place was a wonderful landing spot on our travels to take our time and relax while celebrating summer. Shawn was a wonderful & friendly host, the directions were simple and easy to navigate, and we felt very welcome. DidI mention this place was super comfortable and spotless? Such a very charming home and we home to come back with at least one of our adult kids and visit again. Manistee has always has a place in our hearts, our kids grew up coming here every summer. Thanks again Shawn for a fabulous visit!

    It was close enough to downtown that we could easily walk there and the beach was right down the road. It was nice and quiet, there wasn't much traffic. Honestly my favorite place I've stayed at in Manistee. The host messaged us on check in day and checked in with us again half way through our stay. The house was nice and cozy which was great to come home to after a day at the beach. It really was the perfect place to stay.

    Was a perfect little home for our family with 2 young kids. We walked to the beach and to town each day. The bedrooms connect with a doorway which was nice to be able to have open in the night with young toddlers. The kids loved seeing deer right in the backyard.

    This house that we rented from Shawn was a perfect little house in the perfect location for what we were looking for. We called him twice with little random questions and both times he answered right away. He was very pleasant to deal with, we will be coming back next year for sure!

    This property is As Advertised. It was the perfect place to be near the beaches and town of Manistee, as well as driving distances to other places. Shawn was in contact with me from the beginning, and went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. His place is in a quiet neighborhood and was immaculate. If we ever visit again, I will check his place out again to see if it's available!

    We were in town for a local bball tournament. We loved how close we were to the beach and the downtown area! The place was clean and well maintained, easy to find, and was just perfect for our short visit. Would definitely stay here again!
