Northport, Beach House

The property was perfect size for our family of 12, who came to visit our mother, grandmother, great grandmother who lives in Northport . The kitchen and amenities were perfect for us. We cooked almost every night and had enough plate, silverware, and glasses without a problem. The beds were comfortable and the AC and heat worked great. There was just enough sitting room for all of us and TVs in each of the king bedrooms. The beach decor was homie and comfortable, and the front porch was a hit.! The back porch housed a gas grill, which we used frequently as well.The view of the bay across from the front of the house was breathtaking! Very nice property and we hope to be back again soon!

Beautiful home with a beautiful porch! Great location in Northport!!

Great location, very clean.

This home is in a perfect location. Close to town, beach and marina are all walking distance. Very clean and lots of room for everyone

loved the welcoming flowers!

A perfect location for a family gathering

Steps away from beach, grocery, stores, restaurants. Historic home with expansive front porch. We’ll be back!

Our extended family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Northport Beach House. It was neat staying at a home with so much history. Having the park, playground and beach right across the street was a plus for the grandkids. We walked and cycled all around town and would make short day trips to other parts of the peninsula. We highly recommend the Beach House if you are looking for a Northern Michigan getaway for a large group of people.

We stayed at the Bayside Manor in Northport, MI for a week in July 2025. It was definitely well below average in terms of cleanliness and neatness. The furniture is well worn and the mattresses uncomfortable. We found a pair of used underwear, a hanger and dirt behind a dresser.  There were ants in both the kitchen and the downstairs bathroom. The house had an unpleasant odor. Most of the closets and the breezeway were piled with the owner’s possessions.Although the property was represented as being air conditioned, the three upstairs bedrooms and bathroom were not air conditioned.  Instead, there was a box fan in each of those rooms. There were base plates for smoke detectors on the bedroom ceilings, but no smoke detectors installed. In addition, there were electrical wires sticking out of a receptacle on the wall in one of the rooms. Communication from Vacasa was poor. When we notified Vacasa about the problems on Sunday, Vacasa told us that their “local team” would contact us. We heard nothing on Monday or Tuesday. After we complained again via email on Tuesday night, a member of the “local team” inexplicably delivered one 9v battery to us on Wednesday morning, without any prior notice. Then, on Thursday afternoon, someone entered the house while we were away and without any notice to us and installed smoke detectors in all of the bedrooms. Vacasa and the local team completely ignored the AC issue, offering no explanation or solutions.Buyer beware.

Love to stay here each year. Great hosts!

Terrific house and location. It was cold when we were there would have loved a fire pit! Would love to come back!

We loved easy access to playground & beach , our children felt a lot of independence and we felt ALL were very Safe !!

Lovely accommodations that were a short walk from anything we’d want in Northport. The house is directly across from the park and beach and has plenty of space for family to gather, play cards, sleep, eat and rest. We look forward to staying again another year!

We spent a long weekend in Northport for a wedding and then made it a mini family vacation. This house was perfect for us needing 5 different sleeping spaces. All of our adult children and significant others and kids were able to fit comfortably. We especially enjoyed the location (right across from Lake Michigan and a wonderful park), walking distance to the local shops, and spacious living room for us all to have a movie night with the whole family! Memories made that will last a lifetime. Thank you!!!
