We enjoyed our stay. I would recommend attention to the lighting. It felt a little dim. The entrance door was difficult to deal with. Everything else was very nice. Great Stay.
We had a great time at this rental. Very cute, updated property that was perfect for our kiddos. They loved the jacuzzi bath. Very close to surrounding areas of interest. Host communication was prompt. Loved it!
Great house with plenty of room for grandparents, parents, and one year old. House is much nicer than pictured.
We enjoyed utilizing all that the property has to offer during our long weekend stay. Location of property was very convenient. Communication with Natalie was great and check in/check out procedure was very straight forward.
This lovely home was one of the best vacation rentals I've ever booked. Home was well appointed, cozy and a short drive to many amenities! The owner was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend and would definitely return!!
The house was clean, comfortable and had all the necessary items for our lovely stay in Union Pier. Natalie is a wonderful, accommodating host who made our stay effortless and enjoyable. We love the area.
You don't want to miss out on this lovely property - the home gives attention to every detail, and is clean and well decorated. It is very easy access to New Buffalo, Union Pier, and Lakeshore Dr. We will definitely be staying here again!! And great communication with the owner.
This house is very clean and updated. The screened-in porch is great for evening dinners. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The master bathroom is awesome and quite luxurious. We have rented a few summer houses in the area, and this is the house we would come back to.
Wonderful place to stay with everything you need and more. I've rented many houses in the area and this one is really nice. The beds are very comfortable and the master shower is wonderful. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could possibly need including spices, oils, dish soap, and paper towels. It has one of the best screened-in porches with comfortable seating and a large table. We grilled hamburgers and all ate around it for dinner. We loved sitting outside around the fire pit and playing cornhole. We walked to the farmer's market and the beach for several sunsets. We ate at Timothy's restaurant which is just around the corner and it was amazing. We will definitely be back.
We spent another wonderful week at this Union Pier home. Layout and amenities are great. So appreciate the use of beach chairs, beach towels, etc… We took advantage of the short walk to the farmers market and enjoyed our daily trips to the beach. Family game nights in the screened-in porch were a highlight too. We have stayed at several places in Union Pier and this is a sure favorite!
