Great lake home on an amazing beach! The house was well represented in the photos, but we were pleasantly surprised by the little details that made it even better. We had good weather most days, and the beach couldn't be better. The sand is soft, and the water is very clear except on day when some green algea was in it only right at the shoreline; but that was not much of an issue at all. Lake Michigan is definitely nicer to swim in than a smaller lake. Because the beach is only for the neighborhood, there were very few people on it, especially on weekdays. We saw all sorts of boats, and there are binoculars in the home as well so we could see them up close. This home is located near lots of fun things to do if you want a break from the beach. The owners responded very quickly with any questions and concerns I had. We had 8 adults and our 19- month- old grandson in our party and we had a blast! The one thing to note is that there is nothing blocking the stairway to the lower level, so if you have a baby or young child, you'll have to constantly be guarding that stairway, or block it off. I could go on and on, but to sum this up: we want to return again for sure!
