Bluebird Beach House is a remodeled Union Pier cottage just 1,000 feet from McKinley Beach — a quiet side-road walk followed by 45 well-kept steps down to the water. Unwind on the screened porch, soak in the brand-new 4-person hot tub, or play a round of bocce in the fenced backyard. Pet-friendly and freshly updated with a quartz kitchen, this 3-bedroom home is an easy, relaxed home base for beach days and Harbor Country exploring.

    We enjoyed the Blue Bird. The fenced yard made having the dog along so easy, the cottage was very comfy, and the hot tub was the perfect way to relax at the end of the day! There was no holder for the toilet paper in a bathroom without countertop space, which is awkward. The kitchen lacked a few anticipated items (toaster, mixing bowls, reliable cooking utensils) and we were disappointed that there was no gas provided for the grill. We chose it for its proximity to Warren Dunes, fruit stands, ice cream, little shops, and pleasant walks in the natural world - and it did not disappoint.

    Great location. Rental is as described. Updated clean and comfortable. We rented for a weekend birthday celebration with six adults.

    We had a really lovely stay, and I wish I could hit 4.5 stars. That half star is only because 1. the house ended up being way tighter than we imagine from photos, especially with two pack-n-pays in tow. 2. There was definitely more pet hair and such around than we would have liked, but it didn't impact too much. 3. The porch string lights weren't working and it would have been awesomely cozy with them! Otherwise, the location was great, the house was well-appointed, and we had a super nice weekend with our friends.

    What a wonderful vacation. The house was perfect for our stay. Walkable to the market, Resturants, ice cream, and the beach. Couldn’t ask for a better stay.

    Used the house just for sleeping as we were visiting friends in the area and hung out at their house. The beds were NOT comfortable. Loved the location but the old mattresses just didn’t cut it! Invest in new beds or mattress toppers at least. I’d love to rent this unit again if the beds are different.

    This house had everything we needed and was close to the beach as well as town. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable week. Everyone loved the bocce ball and the hot tub.

    This house was really cute, with a great location. However, the heating issue was a major problem. At first, we couldn’t get the heat to work. Then, we got it to work (there are two radiators that are the heat) and the knob on one of the radiators broke off due to melting. The house was SO hot we had to open windows to cool it down. In addition, I burned my foot when I walked past the heater, and my daughter burned both of her legs on them as well. It seems like a major fire hazard and liability. I wouldn’t stay at this house again.

    Our fall weekend getaway in Union Pier was fantastic! The home was comfortable, well-decorated and in a great location - walking distance to town, the beach and out for neighborhood strolls.
