Great location next to wonderful beach. Reasonable amenities were included in a much smaller than expected "vintage" house. Four bedrooms that were squeezed in were at the expense of closets and a washer and dryer.

This was an older cottage but really loved it! It was clean and had just about anything you could want available to you. Plenty of room for 8 people and Lake Michigan beach just a short walk away!

House is perfectly located if you want to spend your time on the beach, but is also comfortable enough to spend a rainy day in it. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths. Kitchen is nicely sized with counter space and a full-size fridge. Living area has a comfy couch and dining room table. Front porch has table and chairs along with space to drop your beach chairs and coolers. I'd recommend walking the short block down to the more public beach access, as the plastic handicap accessible walkway is easier to walk up when carrying coolers and chairs. Beach was great. We would definitely rent again.

Thanks so much for sharing your cozy cottage!

We enjoyed another easy, fun beach stay at the dune cottage with two children, our dog, and a family guest. Plenty of room in the home and all the amenities that you need to enjoy time on the beach and to explore the area.

Loved our stay at this cute beach cottage! Tucked away in a quiet spot on a sandy path to the beach, we walked to the beach every day and really appreciated the beach chairs. The cozy front patio was perfect for morning coffee, reading and playing cards. In the evening we were just minutes away from great restaurants for dinner. Owners were great to work with and very responsive.

Family 4th celebration
The location is great and we had plenty of room to spread out. getting over the dune to the beach was a little hard on our seniors, but they manages. We brought bikes so getting to the pier and other locations was very easy. Parking got a hectic because it was a holiday but nothing terrible.

We absolutely loved this cottage! Enough room for all of us, and the outdoor space at night was enchanting.
The proximity to the beach can’t be beat! Close enough for the kids (7-14) to head back on their own if they wanted lunch.
We will be back!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this beach cottage! It was the perfect fit for our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 children- ages 8-11). It is practically on the beach. The walk to the beach is over a pretty large dune, which may be difficult for people with mobility issues. The house was well stocked with beach gear (we loved the kayak and boogie boards!) & kitchen necessities. The area was quiet & peaceful at night. It was a rejuvenating and relaxing stay. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

The house is perfect for a long weekend with the family. It’s a very short walk to the beach. It’s quiet and provided a great escape for our trip. Lots games provided for the kids to play at night and a great porch set up for the parents. Highly recommend for a family with little kids

Loved the location of the property. Needed to ask the owners a couple of questions on first day and got an immediate response. Also was allowed early check in which is always great. Wifi was spotty but was able to keep ourselves busy, so didn't notice too much.

You cannot beat the location of this property! Overall, we enjoyed our stay. However, the house could benefit from some updating. Adding a mirror to the master bedroom, a place to put dirty towels (No washer and dryer), and a working hose to be able to clean sand off before entering would make it better.

The property was a short walk away from the beach and provided the visitors with many of the necessities we needed. The inside was updated and comfortable. However, the people who stayed prior to us did not follow the check out rules and we had several “chores” to clean up after them. There was no internet and no access to the television which left us with videos. Considering the weather was not cooperating most of the time, that was an issue. I tried reaching out to the contact number with a question with no response. I ended up cleaning the house before we could comfortably stay and spent over an hour cleaning before we left a day early so the next tenants did not have to be welcomed with what we did.

Great beach cottage, well stocked too
We picked this house because of its close proximity to Sheridan Beach - there aren't many properties closer, though visitors should be aware that it's still a bit of a walk over the dune to get to the water (bring a wagon, if you have one, to schlep your stuff to the beach). There were great beach chairs and sit-on-top kayaks available for use. House was very comfortable and well stocked with consumables (TP, trash bags, paper towels, etc.) Kitchen seemed well equipped, though we didn't do a ton of cooking. WiFi worked well. It was very quiet because it wasn't on the road (I think a lot of other properties in the vicinity could suffer from road noise). I would be leery of staying here during the high season because it doesn't have a dedicated parking space. We did not have any problem parking during the weekend after Labor Day. Brian was super accommodating, allowing us a very early check-in and a very late check-out because it was out of the peak summer season.
