Perfect location
The location is perfect. The lake is only a few minutes walk from the house, and the pool was a highlight (especially for the kids). I paid to have the pool heated - good move, because the air temperature was in the middle 70s all week. More than enough bedrooms for our group of 12, and the house was well stocked with beach towels, condiments and paper products.

Location!!!
This house was big enough for extended family and somewhere for everyone to sleep. Everything you needed was at the property, towels, each chairs, games, pool floats, ice machine! plenty of cooking utensils. They even made sure there was plenty of propane for the grill. This is an older home and I would love to see the outside and fence power washed and cleaned up a bit. My favorite part was the location and proximity to the beach .

Summer Family Vacation
The property wasn't new but clean, updated and totally functional. We ended up utilizing all 9 bedrooms which worked out perfectly. Our biggest surprise was the high end pots and pans, all of the spices available for use, cleaning supplies, garbage bags, etc, etc. A lot of places say they provide these things but they are very limited. This one truly went above and beyond in providing amenities. The kids as well as adults loved the pool area and pool and, use of all of the pool toys, noodles, floats and beach toys when we went to the beach. We definitely would rent this house again.

Communication was Key
Me + 17 others were looking for a short budget weekend getaway and the property was perfect for that. The kitchen made cooking easy and fun, the social spaces were comfortable and had room, and the location is great. During our stay Penny from management answered any and all questions very very quickly which was greatly appreciated. She was knowledgeable of the area and was willing to go above and beyond with helping us enjoy our stay. If you’re debating between 2 properties, one thing a listing won’t tell you is about the management. This property’s management was caring and made our trip so so easy. No hidden fees, no crazy cleanup routine, and no bs. We loved our stay and will definitely be back. Thank you!!!

Dated, could use some upgrades throughout
Hannah was very helpful. When we arrived I noticed quite a few Things not completely clean. The patio grill area had a lot of leaves And some were wet. The pool area was not clean of debris. The grill had a torn grill cover. No instructions how to open or clean the pool. The ameneties mentioned a pool table and there was none. The mattresses are old And not comfortable. Old pillows. A few updates would go well here as it was roomy

MICHIGAN CITY FAMILY TRIP
This property was great for a large group. Plenty of dining space, (maybe a little more seating in the living room would be nice). The outdoor heated pool was perfect we had so much fun poolside babies and adults !!! It was about 2 blocks and a trek over the dune but getting to the beach was fairly easy. There was also a great playroom in the basement. We liked the quiet neighborhood. There was a cute zoo nearby, a few restaurants and bars and some really pretty parks. Other than that not a lot to do but that's the way we like it; no traffic, no high rises , no chaos - very family oriented! On the downside a few minor updates were needed. The outdoor grill was not working and only one of the nine bedrooms had any dressers, (not sure if they even had closets). A light in the laundry room would of been helpful. We were not thrilled about having to wash and dry our own towels. I would of thought the rental fee would of covered that. Overall a great stay, we would go back.

Our Thanksgiving Celebration
We enjoyed our Thanksgiving stay at this large Lake Michigan vacation rental. There were 19 of our family and we used every bed. The kitchen with two stoves and two refrigerators handled dinner preparations easily. We moved the dining room table into the kitchen area alongside the table there. And we were able to seat everyone. All in all, we had a great time. Hannah was great to work with. It might be helpful if we mentioned some of the downsides that might be helpful to both the owner and future guests. First of all, we were not there during the summer, rather late Fall. The pool was closed and the outside not used. Several issues flow from this fact. Two of the nine bedrooms are merely enclosed porches without closets or heat. The cleaning fee when the pool and outside are not used (and therefore no sand tracked in) seems high. Maybe different cleaning fees for the summertime and other times. The cleaning fee sounds particularly high when the guests are required to wash and dry all towels, have all dishes washed or in the dishwasher, and all beds stripped. I need to mention one other issue that little can be done about in the short term but might be worthwhile to mention if the owners are open to long term changes. Right now, the space is not well used. The lower level has two bathrooms and no bedrooms, the next level has five bedrooms and one bathroom, and the upper level has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The heating is fine on the upper two floors, but it is cold on the lower floor. Thus, again, in the Fall we seldom used the lower level. Regardless of the above shortcomings, the place worked out well for our family to celebrate Thanksgiving together. I would like to rent it again in the summer.

Veterans reunion
Ten veterans met up. We had great amount of space. The accommodations were perfect for this group. Each of us had our own space, but we also had multiple places inside and out for two or three of us to have smaller group conversations. It was exactly what we needed. We ranged in age between 68 and 79.

Family Reunion
Property worked very well for our family at all levels. Recreation was great and kitchen was functional. Beach toys and pool stuff was great, excellent location. Parking was tougher than we thought for 4 large vehicles. Washing all linens before exit was a chore we didn't expect. Caught one mouse in the kitchen and saw one more. Would rent again and just plan for those items. How early can the house be booked ahead of time? Bookings for next year, two years out open?

This was great summer fun for a big group. Great location to beach. The beach access at this location has nice walkway for ease of walking on hot sand, so nice. Big, well stocked kitchen with ice maker-great idea. 5 big bathrooms, updated. Rooms on smaller side, but clean and manageable, no one complained. Pool was a real bonus and well stocked with chairs and toys. Plus easy to maintain, with auto-cover. Basement ping pong table got lots of play. Big outdoor area too with nice lighting made for lovely evening meals for everyone to relax at end of day. We are already looking at next year!

Great rental
We had an excellent stay at this property. It is a short walk to the beach (usually the 2-3 year olds could walk to and from the beach without being carried), has lots of places to sleep, and a nice pool for our kids’ ages (0-10). There were a few small issues, but the owner was responsive via text. One thing we didn’t like about the house is that there is only one bathroom on the main floor with a lot of bedrooms (6?). The other bathrooms are located in the basement, and the stairs are pretty sleep for little ones to manage independently. This was only an issue because we like to allocate one bathroom/family. The cleaning fee is pretty steep considering that you have to strip all beds and make sure all towels are washed and dried before check out at 10 am. This is a challenge if you have morning showers, but possibly worth it since they supply so many bath and beach/pool towels. The house came with tons of extras that we weren’t expecting and were happy with. There was a keurig stocked with coffee k-cups, soap and TP in every bathroom, body wash/shampoo/conditioner dispensers in the showers, lots of pool toys in the shed, a high chair, a mini crib, and some kitchen staples. Overall, we had a great stay and will likely try to return next summer!
