Excellent location! Directly across from the park, we were able to get to the shoreline walking trail within 4 minutes by foot. There were a couple of great hipster dive bars, and the iconic At Random Lounge within a 10 minute walk of the home as well. It was about a 10 minute drive to the down town area. I highly recommend this spot! The home had one of the coolest historical exteriors in the neighborhood. And the interior was clean and had a quirky vibe.

Really a splendid unique setup for up to six people. The location is excellent, with a direct view of the lake on the far side of a park, especially from the gathering area on the front porch. The park hosts a seasonal farmers market in the summer and the place came quietly alive with gazebos and sunshades and trailers offering all sorts of street food prepared and early fresh vegetables like asparagus and strawberries. We gathered a fine breakfast for ourselves in no time flat. The market goers were very respectful. We could watch much of the going's on on the unheralded front porch outfitted with comfy deck chairs and shaded from any rain or pm sun. Delightful. The one bathroom description is accurate. The bathroom is large and the shower has excellent flow and pressure. There are plenty of towels. It is outfitted with some unusual extras. The downstairs area is eccentric and fun. There's something to meet the eye in every direction. It would be perfect for a seance or an evening of charadesor quiet conversations. With a few minor tuneups it would be delightful for aparty.The location in town is excellent and within walking distance (15 minutes?) of a notable grocery store and good restaurants. There are poorly described rules for alternate side of the street parking during the workweek.

The home has charm and personality in spades, and the lakeside location couldn’t be better. The kitchen, bedrooms, and bathroom were well appointed, and it’s clear a lot of thought went into the amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed the secret lounge! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again next time we’re visiting the area.

Fun three days in this charming home. One of the most beautiful locations we have stayed at with a lovely park and the Lake Michigan shoreline right across the street.The Bayview Heaven was super clean, well stocked and had a great bathroom. Very comfy bed. The neighborhood was gorgeous and had many fun restaurants. We really enjoyed the beer garden in the South Shore Park across the street.
