"We had a great stay. Eight adults stayed at the house. We had plenty of room and the house was clean and comfortable. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen because we like to cook."

8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Fantastic home and the beach was perfection. Only gripe I have is one of the neighbors obviously had an issue with the house being rented out. Despite us staying off of their property (aside from my 6yo boys playing near the water in front of their property one morning) the neighbors made a point to put signs and ropes for people to stay off of the beach in front of the home while we were outside watching them. This made the last couple of days uncomfortable and stressful as we were constantly worried about the kids walking onto their beach. Perhaps the home should be advertised for groups without kids. If you have kids, especially younger ones, you know asking them to stay on a sliver of sandy beach is next to impossible. The home was just as expected and we had an excellent time despite this. Thank you to the hosts for allowing us to use their home. We love Douglas and cannot wait to return. Will likely be renting a different home next time however.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Wonderful home, old Michigan feel, with updated kitchen and bathrooms. Magnificent views, fabulous location. We enjoyed the local attractions from the local hot dog stand (The Barrel), to shops and restaurants, Dune Ride and Salmon fishing (caught 7 King Salmon with Capt Eric). Most of all loved relaxing on the beach and watching the sunsets.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
This location was incredible. It is close enough to local businesses but far enough off the public area that the private beach access was incredible. There were many beach chairs to use. Watching the sunset off the lower deck is a must. My only complaint is the softness of the king beds - but that is just a personal preference! Great space for a large family vacation! As described in the listing, there are many stairs - but they were far less daunting than the pictures may imply. 100/10 recommend.
