    We werent aware that both bedrooms were on the upper floor along with the bathroom being upstairs. It was quite an inconvenience.

    It’s a very nice location quite everything well maintained. Very easy to access with a 20 foot boat but the driveway is full. But if need to you can park on the street. Fishing was good not great but good easy access to boat ramp and they are very well maintained.

    Great communication. Very cute place. We saw on a review that there wasn’t any way to make ice, so I bought one and left it as a parting gift.

    Great location, cute house, we enjoyed our stay. If you are a full family it might be a little tight for more than a one or two night stay but for two on a budget it was perfect, we could walk to food or shops and of course the beach.

    We loved the house. It was small but fully equiped kitchen. Check in was easy with the door code. Crystal was very responsive when I needed to adk a question. We had a wonderful time and loved the fromt porch very much.

    The location was great, able to walk to everything, parking good, keyless entry great, hosts wonderful. The house itself was just ok. The downstairs was adequate, kitchen met our needs, it had good AC downstairs as we went during a hot and humid time so we made sure we would have AC but… the upstairs needed a lot of work. The primary bedroom was large enough but the window AC was right at your head. The bedroom that had two twin beds was way too hot even though there was AC it accumulated water which needed to be drained at least once in the middle of the night in order for it to work. After two days we decided we couldn’t sleep in the beds and went to the living room which was much more comfortable. We did let the host know about the heat and they did send over a box fan which was appreciated but didn’t do much to force the cool air upstairs. The bathroom had hot water but entire house could use an upgrade as pics do not match the actual look. There was no storage for clothes and only a few hangers. Plenty of towels for beach though. My suggestion to the hosts is to pack your bag for a week and go stay there. The issues are evident. No need for huge chairs upstairs as the rooms are needed for luggage. It was clean enough with new carpet but again you may check on your cleaner as the fans that were there were so filthy that they weren’t usable and don’t look under beds. We had a fine time but this is just another Manistee Vrbo that is expensive but disappointing.

    We had a hiccup on our side (Covid). I didn’t go but the two others in my group went. 100% 5 stars go to the Host for offering guidance and clear communication navigating us through. The host was very quick into responding to all my “what if” senecios. The host saved the day!! Thanks so much. I saw there was a gravel bike race coming up so I may rebook.

    Owners were communicated well with us and answered our questions quickly. Added special items to our stay that made it extra special. It was in a perfect for the race we ran on Saturday. Nice quiet neighborhood. Close to the beach and downtown. Highly recommend.

    This two-story porch home was perfect for our stay in Manistee. It has comfortable furniture, two porches, and games for the kids. Everything including the beach was in walking distance.

    The Front Porch Cottage was a great little getaway for us! It was very clean and was exactly as it was advertised. It was in a quiet neighborhood and was very close to the beach and quaint downtown of Manistee. Communication with the host was excellent! We really enjoyed our stay!
