Decent location, very clean

Very impressed with how clean the house was upon arrival. Nice amenities like upgraded showers, well stocked kitchen, and even a little gift basket of items that might be needed. Yard is very flat which was great for playing Cornhole, beersbee, and bocce ball. We enjoyed our stay, highly recommended.

Amazing House!

We rented this house so that our Strictly Sail & Kayak Fishing Team could fish the HobieBOS tournament on Saginaw Bay, and the house was perfect in every way! Plenty of parking for our boat trailers, the house was clean and very nice, and our favorite part was the porch with the view of the water and the fire pit. We highly recommend this house and we hope to be back there in the future!

We stayed here on our annual mother/daughter trip. It was the perfect place to hang out, play games, watch the birds/boats/freighters, and have a bon fire. Also close to restaurants. Kitchen was well equipped. Beds were comfy. There were many extra and thoughtful touches. Stay here!
