    We had an absolutely amazing stay with my big family. We ranged in age from 1-68 and everyone had a comfortable bed and no problem finding a bathroom near every bedroom. The kitchen was stocked with dishes, pots and pans and any other kitchen item you might need. There is an easy walk to the beach and a walkway that made pulling a wagon and pushing a stroller easy. The beach is gorgeous. I definitely recommend this beautiful home that easily accommodates 18 people.

    Great location, so close to the beach. Great amount of space indoors, but not much outdoor space. Some issues with garbage pick up and lighting on the decks. Loved the path to the beach.

    Our family had a great time! We had a large group-8 adults, 9 kids…plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. Cannot beat the short distance to the beach! Kitchen is very small, but we made it work. We could have definitely used a second refrigerator, maybe in the basement for drinks to take to the beach. House was well-stocked, layout is kind of odd, but no complaints. We had a great time!

    Plenty of room for our family. The people who rent this are fantastic! This is our third straight year to come here and we will do it again next year. I cannot stress enough how wonderful this place is …so close to the beach, plenty of room, two large tables to eat at, plenty of sofas and chairs… everything is just fantastic!

    When you're carrying beach chairs/lunch & children nothing beats this lovely home that is LITERALLY steps from the beach. We have a large family. This house was terrific.

    This home was perfect for a large family group. Our family got together for some summer time together. The location right at the beach was wonderful, it was a very easy walk to the water each day. The basement was stocked with beach towels and chairs and everything you could need. The rooms provide a lot of sleeping space for a large group. The large dining tables assured everyone had a seat. Overall we had a wonderful time, definitely going to ear mark this location for future trips!

    This was a perfect spot for walking to Lake Michigan. Steps away from the beach made the location ideal. Lots of seating for meals was helpful. Main floor and upper level bedrooms and bathrooms were adequate and clean. Upstairs sitting area was calm and peaceful. Basement space wise was nice, however, when going into the basement there was a musty smell. The bathroom in the basement had a drain with standing water in it. When turning on the sink, water would gurgle in the drain. This drain also had a horrible smell that permeated the whole bathroom. If needing to use the basement space, would not recommend but if space in basement is not needed, this is a perfect spot for lake access. Neighborhood was also very quiet. Host was very responsive when finding out about the drain, etc and sent a handyman to check it out.

    Comfortable, casual house just half a block from the beach. Place was just as described and host was easy to work with (although not always timely in responses). Definitely recommend.

    Great little neighborhood, Not too much yard space but you're right next to a beautiful beach. Plenty of room for dining and relaxing. Casual house perfect for family.
