Nice location to stay - Harbert beach is a little over a half a mile away. However, the public beach section is very small - about 10-15 yards wide, so does get very busy and tight so get there early! Or head to Cherry beach which is a public beach that is bigger and not far away. The sand and water is great though - very little rocks and sand bar far away from shore where you can hang out in the water all day. The house itself needs some TLC and a thorough cleaning. It seems like we were the first group to stay there since last season or something - there were dead bugs on bathroom floors and furniture in the screened in porch could've used a nice wipe down. The biggest issue we had was with the hot tub - the owners did send someone out to fix it and it worked for a little bit, but then stopped working again. So we weren't able to use the hot tub at all, but the owners did offer to buy us lunch, which we appreciated. I would've only given 3 stars but the owners are very kind and sweet and provided wine and treats for us when we arrived, so that is always appreciated as well! And it's always great to be able to bring our dog along with us on trips. Thanks!
There was plenty of room for our revolving door of family and friends who stayed with us at Corky's place. Loved the screened in porch/eating area (we never ate anywhere else!) Hot tub was a delight. Walk to the beach helped get our steps in for the day and it was never too crowded to enjoy. Edie and Corky were great hosts and always available to answer our questions. Will definitely stay again!
We had a wonderful time in Harbert! The house has plenty of space for four people to hang out, and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need, which is great for those who like to cook on vacation! Edie was very friendly and responsive and gave us tips about the locale. We enjoyed the hot tub and most of all the proximity to Lake Michigan and the Warren Dunes. Swimming in the lake every day was divine. A fantastic getaway.
Clean with great outdoor spaces. Edie is friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay in her home again!!
We enjoyed our stay here. We were welcomed by the owners who gave us a brief tour and answered our questions. They also gave helpful recommendations, and even gave us a gift of pastry and fresh ground coffee. Among our favorite amenities were the outdoor firepit and hot tub which we made good use of. I'm sure there was a way to lower the temperature on the hot tub, because it was a little too warm, but we spent too much time at the beach for it to be an issue. We enjoyed the hominess of this property since many personal items of the owners were still in place. An important feature for us was that the property was pet-friendly which kept the whole family together, including our little shichon. We would definitely consider this property again for future visits to the area!
Our family enjoyed our week at Corky's Place. We were close to all amenities and fun shops. Highly recommend Corky's Place on Harbert.
