Great Property, Except Hot
This was our second time visiting the Manistee area, first time at this property. The property manager gave me a call a few evenings before our check-in, which was nice, but that was the last time I heard from him. We had a couple of questions that I wanted to discuss after arrival, but he never responded to my text.
The property was very nice and well-equipped for kids, adults, and dogs, but the biggest thing we ran into was that the house is **not air conditioned**, and we showed up on one of the hottest days of the summer. They had box fans (five in fact), and a couple of portable air conditioners, but no hoses available to hook them up. Being an engineer, I made do with what we had in light of no response from the owner/manager. The property is not listed as being air conditioned, but it's also not highlighted, either. Shame on us for not verifying, but I also feel the VRBO listing should be better at highlighting this key "luxury".
The only smaller problems we had is that the property could have been cleaner (especially the showers), and the owner needs to put their Rokus into guest mode. I don't want to use their streaming accounts, and I don't especially want to know their watching habits (lots of political channels), but they were locked from being able to be put into guest mode or add our own streaming channels.
Overall, it's a really cute and well maintained property, especially for its age, and Manistee and its beaches were great to visit.
