Stunning 5br Home w/Private Beach and Custom Dock

This VRBO met the high expectations we had for a peak season, higher end rental. Inside it had everything you could want in the kitchen, etc. Loads of matching silverware for our large group. Plenty of serving trays. Everything that you would have in your own home. It felt like we were staying at a friends home, and not a weekly rental. We encountered a water issue during our week. Totally random and no fault of the owners or home. The property owner answered the phone immediately when I called. He was at the house in 5 minutes. And the needed repair was done early the next morning. Situation handled perfectly. The owner even bought our family dinner that evening for the inconvenience. The pictures of the beach and dock speak for themselves. Wonderful place.

Our two sons and their families joined us for a week in celebration of our birthdays. Not only was the house perfect for a family of nine, but the house is located only minutes from from the heart of downtown Suttons Bay. We enjoyed all of the amenities that came with the house and especially loved the hot tub, the fire pit where we enjoyed making s'mores in the evening, and the dock with a pergola that provided shade when desired.

This is our second stay at The Beach House and we loved it! The weather gods blessed us with sunny skies and temps in the low 80’s. We had a chance to use the cabana on the dock and it was a game changer! My 2 1/2 years old got to “push” his 11 year old cousin into the lake and the kids played nonstop with the water blasters we bought. We’re going to re-book to next year!

This is a great property for a large family and has a fully stocked kitchen. Everyone had their own space so it never felt crowded. The dock/ beach and water were beautiful. Because the water temp was cold we used the hot tub a fair amount after swimming. The kids loved it. We also loved that the Suttons Bay village was so close. Finding a place to fish was a challenge however.

We needed a place to stay for my daughter’s wedding to be held in Sutton’s Bay at a winery, and Erin and Tracy’s house fit the bill!! There were 10 of us, so we needed enough beds and bathrooms to accommodate! The home is beautifully decorated with nice upgrades and the view of the water and the dock outside made for wonderful mornings enjoying our coffee! Would highly recommend!!

The house is lovely. The lake view is stunning and the dock and beach are just right. The kitchen is well appointed and the living spaces are comfortable. The 2 master suites are great - plenty of space and great bathrooms. The location is wonderful - very close to Suttons Bay so lots of restaurants/shopping close by. Black Star Farms vineyard is very close as well - we were in town for my daughter's wedding at BSF so the house was just right for our needs. There are a couple of things to be aware of. First, there are openings at the tops of the walls on the extra bedrooms and bathroom upstairs that make privacy impossible. You can hear everything going on in the bedrooms and bathrooms. We had all of our adult children and their significant others/spouses with us - they had a good laugh about it - but it was definitely odd. Also made it hard when one couple wanted to go to bed but the lights from the bathroom/other bedroom would infiltrate their bedroom. Wasn't a deal breaker for our group but we all agreed that it was inconvenient. The other odd thing is the location of the extra full bath downstairs. It is in the middle of everything - nice bathroom - but a long way from the extra bedroom downstairs. Just something to note if you have a big group with you. We loved the house. We had an incredible time with our family over the wedding weekend. Highly recommend.

Tracy and Erin’s house was the ultimate place to spend a week away with family in our favorite town, Sutton’s Bay. The walkability to town as well as hoplot couldn’t be beat. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed- the hosts truly thought of everything! The house was spotless and had plenty of room for our family to relax. There was even a hot tub to relax in after a long day of shopping, eating and splashing in the water. The sandy beach, views off the dock and clear waters are what truly made this place so special. We can’t wait to continue to spend our vacations here at this beautiful house and continue to make family memories to last a life time.

This house was a great place for us to stay with our extended family. The beach was huge and had easy access, great amenities at the house and fantastic location close to the park and downtown Suttons Bay. Highly recommend!!

A great house and the perfect location from which to stage numerous day trips. We’d love to come back someday!

Our multi generational family stayed in this lovely home just minutes from the main town area of Sutton’s Bay. The location is perfect with Hansen’s market 2 minutes away and Hop Lot brewery just down the road. We could bike from the house to the TART trail and also to our favorite ice cream shop in SB. The house is in pristine condition with all the amenities for cooking and lounging around. The private beach and amazing dock setup is the best we have seen in 15+ years of summering on Leelenau. We hope to be back again before too long.

This place was perfect for us! Not only is the location ideal, but the home is impeccably clean and decorated in high-end finishes. The layout is thoughtfully designed to provide one-of-a-kind lake views, and open floor plan, and plenty of privacy for ourselves, 2 adult daughters, and their families. Lots of outdoor space too, including a nicely groomed, sand beach which was great for the kids. An easy walk to Hansens Grocery Store, Hop Lot, and downtown Suttons Bay. Surrounded by wineries where we spent too much money! The TART bike trail is nearby which was a real plus for my daughter and son-in-law. We've already booked again for next year!

This was our fourth time spending a week at The Beach House with our family of 10 (ages 7yo-85yo). As always, the home and property were welcoming, tidy, and comfortable. Erin and Tracy are wonderful hosts and immediately responsive to any inquiries or needs. Our family looks forward to this week at their Suttons Bay home each year and certainly plan to return. For those not familiar with Leelanau Peninsula, it's a treasure and worth visiting at least once in your life.
