Great cottage and great location
This cottage is perfect for a weekend getaway. It has everything you need along with being in a great location. The beach, market, and restaurants are all a short walk away.

Great place!
Cute home with large living spaces, a huge back yard, and nice deck with a grill. Super close to the beach, and within easy walking distance to a couple of restaurants, an excellent cafe, a grocery store, and a bakery.

Great house!
We loved this house. It was clean and plenty big enough for our family of 4. It’s just a 5 minute walk to the beach and a quick stroll to the Whistlestop coffee shop among other restaurants. The kids loved the big backyard. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Michigan getaway!
Our rental home was great! We were in Union Pier MI and quaint little town that was beautiful! The location of our property was a block away from 2 lovely beaches. The house was very clean cute and comfortable and had a great fenced in back yard for our boxer. I would definitely use Vrbo/Vacasa again. We had excellent communication with the host at all times.

Nice area but property needs maintenance
Property very much in need of maintenance on various items. It was a great location in a quaint neighborhood close to the beach. We loved the fire pit and the firewood that was provided.

Memories are made here!
‘Steps from the Beach’ house was our home for a week that we won’t ever forget! It was well decorated, with an updated, functional layout. Our kids (age 6, 9, &11) spent nearly every day at the beach, which truly is a 5 minute walk. Then we spent evenings playing cards, enjoying the fire pit, and actually ENJOYING each other! It’s like the home brought out the interaction with each other, screen-free! Would highly recommend ‘Steps from the Beach’
