First visit to Union Pier

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was a great size and very clean. Very well stocked. Loved the screened in porch. The location was different than expected but fine- close to major road and train but trees give good buffer. Not as close to the beach as expected but worked out fine. Lovely, comfortable home

Perfect Stay, Perfect Locations

This property was lovely. The home is well kept and updated. The location could not be beat. We walked to the beach a few times a day. You're close to everything but at the same time feel like you're away from it all. We would stay again! Thank you for sharing your home.

Thoughtfully Appointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house has a great open layout for everyone to gather, yet enough bedrooms and porches for alone time. The location is quiet and an easy walk to Whistle Stop cafe, Red Arrow Roadhouse and downtown Union Pier. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach, which doesn’t get crowded even on weekends. This was our second year staying at Just Beachy.

Perfect home for a small family getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was clean, close to the beach, short drive to restaurants in Union Pier/New Buffalo, and just the right amount of amenities. The property manager made sure our check in was a smooth process and even informed us we could check in earlier than expected. The description of the house, layout, and location were spot on and we would rent again in the future.

Great house and location

My family and I had a great time at this location. House was very accurate with the listing and provided everything we needed for our stay. Property manager was very efficient with our check-in process and information for our stay. Fantastic house and location for a family trip! Beach was about a 5 minute walk down the road which was perfect for our little ones. We plan on using this house again for future trips!

Great Weekend Getaway

A beautiful cottage home in a great location. Girls weekend for mom's birthday. Would love to come back when the weather is warmer to take advantage of the outdoor fire pit and screened in porch. The only "cons" I have is that we had a fire in the fireplace but there were no tools to stoke the fire or clean out the ashes. The other con is the beach was more than 2 blocks away. Mom couldn't walk there and there is no public parking at the public access closest to the home. Overall, a wonderful weekend!

Loved our trip to Union Pier

Loved everything about this house! Clean, well stocked and spacious (much larger than it appears in the photos). Short walk to the beach (beautiful beach), a darling market (Union Pier Market) and a delicious restaurant (Red Arrow Roadhouse). We loved the screened porch and the firepit! My parents joined us (both in their 80s) and the house was easy for them to maneuver, We would definitely stay here again!

Just Right for a Gal's Getaway

The property is super-clean, comfortable, decor is fresh and comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked with equipment to prep meals. The public beach is short walk from the house, and beach chairs are provided. Make sure to read the information email sent early in the week before you arrive regarding bedding. Due to Covid, they have currently removed extra blankets, and some of the comforters. See what the current state is, and bring some covers if you want them. I didn't see the email in my inbox, so we had to improvise on a cool weekend.

High school girls weekend

Absolutely perfect! Comfortable, homey, clean, and just right for our reunion of high school friends. Plenty of room and great location. Decor is gorgeous. Loved the walks on the beach, deer outside our window, the peace and quiet, the beautiful trees sheltering the home, etc. Everything A+! Thank you!
