This is a property that I would rent again. It was easy to get to. It was very clean & comfortable. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood, on a deadend road. Although it’s walking distance to Lake Michigan and downtown, we chose to drive due to having our kids with us, and having all of our beach comforts. Having our wagon would have been a definite plus for walking. The house was in great shape, with just a few minor, cosmetic fixes needed. Not a deal breaker, at all. The appliances worked and were all clean. Although there is no central air, there are enough trees to buffer the heat of the sun. The windows are in working order, easily opening & closing. Plus there were plenty of fans to use. The master bedroom has a window a/c unit for use. My only suggestion to the owners is that an extension chain attached to the ceiling fan would be helpful for reaching to turn it on/off. We never did find a wall switch to operate it. Again, a minor detail. The hosts were great in quickly replying to my emails & texts when I had questions. This rental was perfect for my family’s beach weekend. I highly recommend this home for your get-away!! Thank you, Eric & Jean!

Very clean, cute house! Pretty large home, very beautiful neighborhood and very close to the shops and the beach. Loved that we could bring our dogs. Easy trip to sleeping bear dunes. Would definitely stay here again!

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