Charlevoix is known as Charlevoix the Beautiful for good reason. Your getaway is less than a mile walk to the downtown area with unique shopping and dining, and Lake Michigan public beach with playground, food takeout and picnic area in the shadow of the iconic lighthouse. Bridge Street, at the heart of downtown Charlevoix, is home to many shops and restaurants, from fast food to fine dining.

There is a short walk from the home to Lake Michigan public access to the quieter Northside Lake Michigan beaches, perfect for a swim, sun, or long walk to North Point looking for sea glass and Petoskey stones along the way. North Point Nature Preserve, featuring hiking trails, disk golf, and scenic access to Lake Michigan is a short walk away.

It is also a short walk to Lake Charlevoix public beach by the historic rail Depot. If you visit in the winter, Charlevoix is less than 30 miles to two ski resorts, as well as a local small ski hill. Charlevoix Cottage North is less than 10 minutes to the Castle, a beautiful wedding venue and tour opportunity.

The cozy downstairs of your home away from home features a living room, dining room which can accommodate 8, and a fully equipped kitchen. Attached to the kitchen is a mudroom leading to the large, fully fenced backyard including a patio with a table and chairs and a barbeque grill. The first floor features a bedroom (Queen ) and an ensuite full bath. Upstairs features a twin bed room and queen bedroom joined by a full bath. We have tried to include anything you might need to stay and feel at home.

The full basement is where you will find the washer and dryer.

The backyard is fully fenced for your kids and /or pets. The patio has a umbrella table and chairs and a barbeque grill. There is a noise ordinance in Charlevoix after 11pm. The residential neighborhood where the home is located is quiet.

    The property had a great location: walk to beach, walk to sunset, walk to downtown Charlevoix. The house was clean and very well provisioned. We especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the grill and fire pit in the backyard. The neighborhood is tranquil. Our host even made an evening house call to solve a minor cable TV issue. This is a lovely house in a wonderful location, rent with confidence.

    We had an incredible week at this wonderful property! The house had everything we needed. We cooked some meals and found the kitchen well stocked and easy to work in. Loved the extra space provided by the retro table and chairs. The property is also a very easy walk into downtown, Lake Michigan, and Lake Charlevoix. The hosts graciously accepted our large dog who greatly enjoyed the space in the fenced backyard. And we loved the multiple seating options and large table in the yard. The host provided timely and clear directions and responded quickly to any of our communications. Thanks again for sharing your home!

    Overall the cottage was just what we needed for our stay in Charlevoix. It was very clean and well furnished. The property owner was very easy to communicate with and helped us with our stay. The location is perfect.....an easy five minute walk to a beautiful beach and a 15 minute walk to town. We had a great vacation!

    This house was very clean and had lots of household items and beach essentials to make our stay very easy. Large fenced in yard which is great if you bring your dog! Great location…close to downtown and a beach access! The only downside was the 1st floor room and bathroom size but we made it work. Would highly recommend!

    We very much enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. We prefer the Northside of Charlevoix, and this location allowed easy walking access to downtown and Lake Michigan beaches. The upstairs bedrooms did get a bit hot, but easily solved with a fan. The backyard is lovely. The hosts also had beach chairs and amenities for use if needed. Frank was quick to communicate and overall we had a great stay.

    We had a lovely stay in Charlevoix. The owners Frank and Sally Campi were super easy to work with. The house is a charming Cape Cod type house a few blocks from the Lake Michigan shore. Nice big fenced backyard which was great for our dog. The layout worked well for a trip with adult children. They could have the upper floor and my husband and I took the bedroom downstairs Only caveat is that the downstairs bedroom is on the small side. The owners are very thoughtful and if you realized you needed it, they had probably thought to provide it. Big help to us were that beach chairs and beach towels were available to use so we didn't have to bring those. We enjoyed playing corn hole in the yard, walking down to the beach. We did walk into town, but if we were planning on doing a lot of walking in town, we would drive and park. All in all a lovely stay!

    Stayed at this same house last year with my wife and two teens. Very clean, cozy, with nice amenities, and great location in quiet little neighborhood. Always excellent communication from the property owner. Very pleasant half mile walk to downtown Charlevoix. Five minute walk to public beach access on Lake Michigan. Only 20-25 minute drive to Petosky (or 2.5 hour round trip by bike on paved path). Had a great time, would stay again.
