We had a great week. The house suited us well. There were plenty of bedrooms and space for our family. The beach was spectacular! We had a wonderful time. We would stay again.
Owner has stocked the home with everything anyone could/would ever need.
Set-up of quarters and kitchens allows for spending time together, or privately, inside and out. Beautiful beach with manageable stairs, including a landing with chairs. Would consider renting again. JM Plymouth
This place was so nice for our family and kids! We were 3 couples, each with kids, so the separation of the unit above the garage was nice and the basement with shuffleboard was great bonus space for the older kids. Nicely stocked and communication with the owner was great.
Perfect location! We loved the easy access to the beautiful sandy beach. The kids collected rocks and the teens played beach volleyball. We enjoyed running and walking in the woods and park right next door. And it's a short drive into downtown and to the golf course. Loved it.
The week in Manistee at this rental house was memorable despite less than ideal weather. The house handled our crew of 10 adults + 2 children both inside and out. The yard came in handy for keeping the kids busy, and the quick walk to the nearly private beach came in handy often. The Manistee area is full of things to do, including public beaches, marinas, and a nice downtown with many great restaurants. Expanding your range to nearby cities adds more great adventures, including the Sleeping Bear Dunes. And don't forget that there is an airport for those looking to get in and out quickly.
Took my sons and their families on an in-state getaway after cancelling our Disney trip. Everyone just needed to spend some time together and this was the perfect place. One family over the garage and one downstairs with me worked perfectly. Played at our own beach all day, hiked the trails, grilled dinner several times, and enjoyed watching the amazing sunsets after roasting marshmallows at the fire pit every night. Beautiful location and amenities all to ourselves. We had a wonderful week!
We loved our stay at Tom's place. We had two families plus a set of grandparents and Tom's place was the perfect setup. Everyone was able to hang out together but then go back to their respective homes at night. It also helped a lot to have 2 kitchens when cooking for 11 people. Everyone loved the easy access to the beach. Tom provided beach umbrellas, beach chairs, beach towels, a boogie board, and lots of sand toys. There is also a nice fire pit to roast marshmallows in the evening. I did not give 5 stars for cleanliness because we did find some animal droppings around the house when we arrived. We are in a wooded area so that's probably to be expected. We did do a full cleaning upon arrival in light of COVID. The only other minor thing is that there is no hair dryer, so bring your own. Otherwise, we would stay here again if we have another big family get together. Easy access to the beach, close to downtown area, and Meijer's was only 15 minutes away. Tom was very thorough and he answered all my questions promptly.
The property manager has done a great job providing nearly everything you would need during a family vacation. The home, yard and beach access are well kept. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a great low maintenance vacation home.
The owner was very responsive throughout the rental process. However, we were disappointed in the condition of the cottage in the following areas: The water system is in need of additional treatment as the water has iron coloration and sulfide odor. The steps to the beach need repair and regular maintenance for safety reasons. The basement has excess humidity and subsequently, mold and mildew issues that are quite pervasive. These issues detracted from the overall cottage experience but the place has very good potential if these issues are addressed.
