    It was a great experience for our family of 4. Comfortable beds, linens, clean towels and plenty of the things you need or want that make your stay feel like home away from home.

    Charming beach house with everything you need for a beach vacation. Plenty of kids toys,beach equipment (umbrella and chairs). Short steep climb over dunes and your at the beach. Easier access down the road another very short walk. Plenty of sleeping rooms,crib high chair and a baby gate to block toddler from going upstairs. We used the outdoor grill for most meals. Indoor stove is old and small but worked for our needs. Bathrooms small,clean and tidy with plenty of towels. Outdoor shower with hot water amazing. We used it after our full days at the beach. We enjoyed ourselves every day. It was quiet,safe and cozy. Water pump never bothered me as some reviews mentioned. The house is small and old but we felt comfortable with my family of 4 adults and 2 children. Thank you for sharing your home with us. I love Lake Michigan

    Perfect Location The location of this lovely beach house is its best feature. Steps from the beach, and only a short drive away from local attractions, shops, and restaurants. The house was beautifully decorated and gave the perfect beach vibe. The bathrooms were nicely updated, but a bit on the small side. We appreciated the soaps and shampoos that were available for us to use. The beds were very comfortable, and the linens were super-soft. The kitchen was equipped with everything, but the cooking area could use a little updating. The house was listed for 8, but may be more suitable for 4 adults and 4 children than 8 adults. We had 7 in our party, ages 15 to 59, and felt a little cramped when everyone was inside. The outside area more than made up for the space that was missing inside. Several decks with comfortable furniture, a space to grill, a fire pit, a playground area, and a well maintained lawn allowed us to enjoy wonderful evenings outside watching the sun set and connecting as a family. Everyone had a great time and I would choose this location again. Thank you!

    This house is the perfect location to enjoy the beach! We have stayed multiple times and keep returning due to the proximity of the beach! This house also has everything you could need when traveling with kids, so packing is a breeze. We stayed over the 4th and enjoyed fireworks over the lake.

    We stayed here as a family of 6 with grandma & grandpa included! So a total of 8! This was such a great location and so perfect running back and forth to the beach. It was sooooo nice to have all the beach essentials included. The outdoor space is amazing! We are outside so much! I had originally missed that there was no washer & dryer included but the host was so gracious and even offered to do some laundry for us as we were playing softball while we were there! We would love to come back!Any questions we had Aimee was super quick to reply and help out!

    This place has all the comforts of home. Very clean and cozy with a well stocked kitchen. Loved the large backyard and fire pit. So many extras for kids including many toys and the jungle gym. We contacted the host a couple of times and our questions were quickly answered. It’s a very short walk to the beach. We would love to stay here again.

    Proximity to beach is the best feature of this place. The yard and swingset are also great for small kids. Beds are comfortable, upstairs loft is very spacious. Kitchen was well equipped and overall everything was very good

    I really liked this house and was very impressed with how well supplied it was! That was so helpful! I had read that there was a little path to get to the house so that was good to know before hand!! We loved the proximity to the beach and dunes. It was clean and comfortable Thank you

    The cottage was very clean and had everything our family needed. The location is great -- EASY accessibility to the beach and plenty of available parking. The walk from the parking lot to the beach was not an issue for us as others have mentioned. Just a short walk down the sidewalk -- nothing more than you would experience walking to/from a condo. The host was very responsive when we reached out with questions. Loved the outdoor shower! Overall, we had a great week at the beach. Thank you!
