    This house is ok, nothing great, nothing awful. This house is very dark, it’s very hard to see anywhere beside the bathrooms.

    Very convenient location for the Ironman triathlon. Property was clean and easy to find. Overall the property worked out well. Things to improve: lighting makes it dark and the shower didn’t drain well so we took showers in standing water. Check-in was easy.

    The place was clean and as advertised. Uncomfortable beds. Very tired on the exterior. No flower beds, crumbling brick. Worst looking house on the street. Can’t go over 3 stars. Not a good value.

    Jean is amazing. We have an adult son with a disability who uses a wheelchair. So our car is packed traveling 7 hours to Frankfort. She allowed us to drop off many of our things in the garage before check in so we could get Scott's chair out easier. The rental is centrally located close to the lake & town. Also the house was very clean! We will definitely rent this home again. Thank You! The Keener's

    This spacious three bedroom home was perfect for two grandparents traveling with two grandchildren. Nice yard for the kids to play in. The home is located on a quiet street, but an easy, short distance from the heart of Frankfort and Lake Michigan. And Frankfort, Michigan with its restaurants and the public beach plus the surrounding area is a hidden gem!!

    We love the area and the home was very convenient to downtown, the beach, and so many other favorite experiences in the area. The house itself was quiet and comfortable and well suited to our needs for a group of six. We loved the firepit! It's a stretch to see the place working for a party of eight as suggested, and there is only one pull-out couch not two as mentioned. Didn't affect us much but want others to know. Thanks to Jean at Agape for making it easy for us!

    Perfect home for families to stay and make a “home base” for day trips in the area or to enjoy the town and beach within walking distance. Everything was clean and as advertised, great communication! Would definitely stay here again!

    The house was clean. The neighborhood was quiet. I lost track of time on the way there and the manager reached out with the door code, so getting into the house was easy. My only complaint would be that the beds have seen better days. They are kind of squishy and sink in the middle. It was a great place to stay with an easy drive to two lighthouses and several beaches. I would stay there again.
