M22 Shores | Beach | Pet-friendly | Waterfront | Large Groups

Wonderful!

The location for this property was amazing in close proximity to a lot of great places. The view was amazing and quiet

We loved the property, especially the private beach across from the house, which we used morning, afternoon, and night. The pet-friendliness of the rental was a huge plus for our group and we stayed very comfortably for 4 nights. Communication with the property manager was easy. We loved it!!

The house is lovely and had eveything we needed. It was also very comfortable. The view of the bay is really nice. The host was great. The location offers easy access to Traverse City and Sutton's Bay. The only drawback is that the traffic on M22 can be a little loud in the morning.

This home was fantastic for our families to meet and stay. The large downstairs was a great for all of us to gather. Appreciated the fully stocked kitchen for cooking! Wish we had more time to stay longer. Thank you for the great hospitality!

As much as I would have loved to leave a good review, in good conscience, I can not bring myself to lie. With all due respect, we have never had as much trouble staying anywhere as much as we had at your property. The lack of care and cleanliness was unbelievable. The floors hadn’t been swept in what seems like forever, the amount of insects and bugs surpasses ANYTHING I have ever seen, there were stains on the couches and the pullout bed, not to mention the obnoxious amount of pet hair. The day we arrived we spent a GREAT deal of our time making the place habitable by sweeping, tending to dirtiness, and the like. Despite doing all that, we were unable to achieve optimal results. When doing laundry, we left clothes on the floor for a few minutes, and when we picked them back up they were infested with bugs which was absolutely disgusting. Our kids had a very difficult time sleeping because of the stressing over the bugs in the house. Everyone was worried about insects over them and the possibility of bed bugs. It was not our first stay in a vacation home, and I can safely say we have never ever had such an experience. The pictures listed were very misleading, but the check in process was not difficult. If anything in the area was available, we would have switched ASAP.

We loved our first MI experience overall. Home was fine - enough room for our family of 5. We loved having the private lakefront spot with kayaks and a fire pit. The few downsides were these: (1) many of the dishes and utensils were dirty. We re-washed just about everything. I understand it’s a rental and these things happen, but it’s disappointing for what this place cost. (2) in order to get to the lakefront area you have to cross two lanes of traffic going at 55mph! I didn’t see this in any prior reviews, so if you have young kids this may be a concern. (3) when we arrived there were dirty sheets in the washing machine. The property manager took care of them quickly, but that also shouldn’t be. I’m not sure if the owner lives in the house nextdoor that is semi-attached (which was mentioned in a prior review but not included in any of the photographs or descriptions). Overall, we loved our trip. We wouldn’t return to this house again for the reasons stated above, but the area is great!

The place was as expected - Centrally located to everything we wanted to do, clean, and comfortable. Would definitely recommend it! Thank you - jason

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy rustic property. Dog friendly was a huge plus for us, and the private beach is fantastic. Plenty of space to sleep, cook, and hang out. The property is a bit rustic, and the beach is across busy M22 so potentially tough for families with small kids. Small upgrades to fresher bedding would earn a 5th star though, as pet friendly counts for a lot!

This place was awesome! Location is great. The private beach across the street is amazing. Our host, Troy, was wonderful. He kindly carried out 4 kayaks for us to enjoy on the water! The house is very well stocked with everything you may need from beach towels to blow dryer to steamer. 10/10 would recommend!

We loved our stay! Very comfortable, great kitchen and wonderful accommodations!
