Stayed Jun 10, 2025Great place! Perfect location. Enjoyed the nautical themes in the house along with the screened porch with the fun decorative lights. Easy to walk to park - even saw a deer on one of our walks! Would definitely recommend and would return again!

Stayed Sep 12, 2025We loved the porch and all the knotty pine. Beds were clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. The Weber grill was new. The closest beach wasn't swimmable but was pretty. The only constructive comment i offer is that the toilet in the shower bathroom rocks becase the floor and tile need to be replaced. The vrbo service fee and breakage insurance fees were excessive and left us with a negative view for future rentals with them.

Stayed Aug 4, 2025This house is well stocked with needed supplies and also clean. It is a very easy walk to a nearby beach that was not busy while we were there during early August. You can also easily drive to several other beaches within 10 minutes. The host is responsive and helpful. If you have a little down time at the house you can also try to solve some mysteries. It is a great place to relax! I would definitely book this place again!

Stayed Jul 20, 2025My grand children, two thirteen year old boys and one 11 year old girl and I hold what we fondly call Grammy Camp each summer. The cousins get some extended time together and I get to enjoy exploring our state with them. This cottage was perfect for us, everyone got their own room, 2 bathrooms (need I say more?), and the kitchen was so well equipped for anything we might have wanted to cook! I especially enjoyed the screen porch in the mornings for a peaceful cup of coffee, we also used the porch to do some crafting (painting stones with paint pens, no mess!); the dvd selection is epic, and later in the evenings we enjoyed a fire outside in the fire ring. We walked several times down to Bird Creek Park, my distance runner grandson did his daily runs on the peaceful streets and sidewalks, and we found many places to explore within a 30 minute drive. The owner supplied an ample number of towels, and was quick to reply when contacted.

Stayed Jun 27, 2025We traveled to Port Austin for the 2025 Porchfest with a group of friends and stayed at this rental. We were very close to all the activities, music, town and the beach. Everything was in walking distance.The unit was roomy enough for the 8 of us. There were 4 bedrooms with either full or queen beds. Our bed was comfortable but a few in the group said they kept sinking toward the middle of their bed. We cooked most of our meals at the house, with a low country boil outside on one night. Delicious!! There were also a number of good restaurants and food in the area. I would recommend this as a rental property for friends and family.

Stayed Jun 20, 2025This is the perfect space for a stay in Port Austin. Mary is an excellent host and extremely responsive. She helped us download an app on the TV to watch the Tigers and even helped find my husbands wedding ring/send it back after our stay. Her kindness and responsiveness made for the most comfortable stay, plus the house is stocked with helpful necessities.

Stayed Jun 13, 2025Overall a decent stay. Pros: Affordable, very well equipped with kitchenware, beach toys, and towels, as well as papergoods. Great location and walkable to town. The cons: Walls in the back bedrooms are essentially just plywood/paneling. You can hear every breath, snore, conversation, TV through the walls. You can also see through the cracks in the corners where the walls come together. Finally, the bedroom and back bathroom doors are all wood with metal latches and several did not latch/lock and thus would not stay shut which is problematic when trying to change and/or if you like your door shut at night. We ended up propping something against the doors to keep them closed. Just a heads up that the lack of quiet/privacy may be an issue for small children trying to nap and/or those who need quiet to sleep.

Stayed May 1, 2025The home was nice but it could have been cleaner. The edges where the walls hit the floors in the bathrooms needed a good scrubbing. Also the window edges in the sun porch were very dirty. The coffee maker was left dirty and full of grounds. The giant trash can in the kitchen was unnecessarily large and a little stinky. The views of the lake were awesome though.

Stayed Aug 15, 2024I have to say Mary is a very nice property host. She answered our questions to be sure we felt the house would meet our needs. I rated it a 3. When we arrived the house was open and i was concerned that i had the wrong address and that someone was there. Upon further inspection we decided to enter. I think there needs to be more caution taken in regards to this. It is a safety concern given the world today. When putting our son to bed we were shocked that the beds were not made as if someone was sleeping in them. I made the beds. we noticed no AC as well. Mary message me, and asked if we could leave the house the following day to have it repaired for a discount. We agreed and we received a small discount of 100.00. The house isn't ideal for someone in a wheelchair. If you're able to walk you can manage. The space is tight and not easy to maneuver. My husband got bitten really bad while sleeping in more than one bed. All over his legs. He is allergic and we ended our stay a day early. The dates posted are not accurate. Our stay was Thursday august 14th to the 18th. We left on the 17th. Anyway that was our experience. there.

Stayed Jul 17, 2024This house was perfect for our stay with our 3 kids. With 4 bedrooms and 2 baths everyone had their own space. The location was great because you can walk to town and the beach or across the street to catch the sunset. This was probably the most well-stocked place I have ever stayed. Had everything we needed to cook, grill and even store the leftovers. If we visit the area in the future I would definitely stay here again.
