    The house was very clean when we arrived. The dishes and cutlery were well stocked. Tons of games and puzzles to keep busy. Beautiful view of the bay. The hot tub was on point. Our only complaint is that the tv was a little on the small side. Overall had a great time and would come back.

    Staying at this warm and charming beach house was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked through the door, it was clear that every inch of this home had been thoughtfully crafted with care and intention. The attention to detail was remarkable—each room had its own personality, its own quiet story to tell.Even the photographs on the walls felt alive. Every image seemed to speak, offering a glimpse into the spirit of the coast, the rhythm of the waves, and the beauty of simple moments. The arrangement of little things—games neatly placed for easy enjoyment, touches of nature woven throughout the décor, subtle nods to coastal life—created an atmosphere of serenity that wrapped around you like a warm blanket.The views were nothing short of breathtaking. Whether you were sipping coffee at sunrise or unwinding in the evening glow, the water had a way of calming both the mind and soul. And if you slowed down and paid attention, the house revealed small discoveries everywhere—those delightful little moments that make a stay truly special.Simply put, this place is amazing. No need to look any further. This beach house has everything you’d want and more importantly need.

    The house was nice and very clean. The yard was spacious and just steps away from a large sandy beach. My kids enjoyed the lake house and it was a relaxing trip. The owner said the water level was down a bit during our stay, so we had to walk out a considerable distance from shore even for our toddlers to swim. Overall, the property is very nice.

    This small beachfront house is ideal for getting away from the hustle and bustle of life. From the fully furnished kitchen to the back deck looking out to the beach and wonderful view of Saginaw Bay, this house was charming and had ample room for our family of six. The hosts have provided plenty of games to entertain yourself on those days or nights you need to stay inside. There is a beach firepit and there is even firewood for purchace onsite. We will be looking to book this little gem down the road when we just need a getaway again.

    Loved it! Great for a girls' weekend. The cute house was nicely decorated and spotless. It had every amenity that we needed and space for the three of us to have our own sleeping area with the two bedrooms and a pull out couch. Back deck had furniture on which to sit and have our morning coffee and an area of grass before the private beach area with a fire pit. Plastic Adironack chairs were easy to carry to there for the bonfire (firewood available for purchase right on the property) and into the water to sit while sunning ourselves. Plenty of board/card games were available for a fun time in the evening after the sun went down, as well as the hot tub with plenty of beach towels. Neighbors were nice and really helpful. It's not too far a drive to downtown Bay City, although you might want to avoid the bridge that says it has a toll (still waiting to see if we get that bill in the mail). Lots of cute bars and restaurants there. We only stayed two nights, as that is all that was available, but really wished we could have stayed longer. Would definitely come back!
