    Place is an older house. Neat and clean and had a great front porch. Location was walking distance to beach and to the beautiful downtown area. Parking was great. Saw many beautiful sunsets. Would definitely stay again.

    Great stay! Great location and nicer than the listing photos. One of the most comfortable vacation rental mattresses I’ve ever slept on. Appreciated the folding table and chairs. As some other reviews mention, the shower is tiny (a handheld sprayer would help). Will very likely return.

    The location is the selling point. Could not be better. The listing says it can sleep 4 which is true, but I would not put more than three in there. Also, the kitchen has everything you need for a short stay. Just do not plan on cooking alot of meals in the kitchen. It is not that well appointed. Better to go out and enjoy the local restaurants. Overall we were very pleased and plan to rent again next year.

    The rooms were very clean, the view was great, the house had very little noise from other guests, the kitchen was stocked well. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay there again in the future.

    The location of this property is perfect for walking to the beach, downtown shops and restaurants, or biking over to hop on the Betsie River Trail. We had everything we needed, just might bring flannel sheets and an extra blanket next time for the blow up mattress that’s in the pull out couch. It truly was a great spot for our weekend up north!

    The location of this property is fantastic - it's right across the street from the bay, two blocks from the beach, and steps to restaurants. The space itself is clean and very basic. A few things that weren't necessarily noted in the VRBO description - there are zero toiletries provided - no soap, no shampoo, etc. We didn't bring any so the first day we had to make do until we made a trip to the store. The molded stand up shower is tiny - an average person can barely turn around in it. The compact fridge has no ability to keep a bag of ice. It's a second floor walk up - no elevator (important to me as I was carrying my bike). None of these things were a major issue for us or hindered our stay, but important to note for other renters. Overall the stay was very enjoyable and would recommend the apartment to others.

    This place is close to the beach, restaurants, shops, bike rentals, etc. Had a little trouble checking in as the keys weren’t where they were supposed to be, but got a quick response from the owner/manager. Loved being able to sit on the front porch to read and just watch the world go by.. The porch was a popular place with everyone saying there .

    The upstairs rooms were comfortable, the TV had a cable connection and the wifi worked. It was perfect for a couple day- stay. For our 2-week stay, the mini fridge was too small, the shower stall (like a phone booth) was too small, and the single-ply toilet paper was disappointing. There were lots of nice towels. And Sarah was always available if there was any questions or issues. The need was comfortable. We would definitely come back for a short stay.
