    Great house in a great location in Manistee. Loved the indoor and outdoor spaces. The starter on the propane fire pit wasn’t working but we used a match and the fire pit was an awesome place to end the day!

    Decent home, area is not the greatest but not in a rough neighborhood. Home is older and could use some up keep but overall a fair price for the amount of bedrooms it has.

    We enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was excellent. We were able to walk downtown to shops and restaurants which was so convenient. We were also close to the beach and we spent a couple hours on the soft sand. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything one would need. We did make eggs/bacon, homemade pizza and a charcuterie board during our stay. It was handy to have all the kitchen items we needed. The unit is very clean and decorated cute. We did remove the pads from the chairs outside the house as they were moldy. But it was fine to sit without them. Excellent communication by the management company. They give an entire e-handbook with information you would need. Super friendly and responsive. Our only complaint are the washcloths and towels. They were horrid. Do yourself a favor and go buy a couple towels at the Meijer store in town. The ones at the unit are like sandpaper. There were no dish towels either. You are expected to do dishes but have no way to dry the dishes. We would stay here again for sure. The benefits far out way the issues with the towels. It’s a nice and cozy VRBO.

    This is a really cute and cozy place, we appreciated the cleanliness upon arrival, the decor in the home is really cute, it's on a very quiet street, sitting on the front porch to drink coffee was very peaceful. Just a short drive to the beach or if you're feeling up for it about a 20 min walk. The outside of the home needs some attention, there are some broken boards on the patio, and the patio and front porch furniture could use an update. Our only complaint for the kitchen was there was no drying rack for drying dishes, and kitchenware also needed an update, there was no toaster that we could find, and more dishcloths should be provided for guests. Otherwise the property managing company was very attentive, the check in process was seamless, they were great, so hopefully the owneee might just consider a little TLC to these few issues and this place would be an absolute gem.

    My family enjoyed the house and the neighborhood location. When we arrived the smoke detectors kept going off so my wife contacted the property management and was informed to unplug all of them and they’d be over the next day to add batteries to all the units. They never showed up so the smoke detectors were inactive all weekend. The kitchen cook ware should be updated as well.

    We had a wonderful time here with family! The house and furnishings were very comfortable. We enjoyed the front deck and patio. There is not a dishwasher but we didn’t need one. I highly recommend this cute, comfortable house for your home base to beaches and docks on Lake Michigan.

    All was well, however, it would be nice if the outdoor patio area was repaired since there were quite a few loose boards Otherwise, everything inside the house was very neat and clean, and the kitchen was well equipped. We did have quite a bit of difficulty getting cable television, and never did get it to work.
