Our family has been renting vacation properties on the Michigan shore for the past 15 years and this property is easily the nicest home we've rented. It's roomy, comfortable, attractive, and well-designed. Kitchen is great with plenty of countertops and storage and a 6-burner range. Plenty of beds for our 8 family members, ample parking for 3 cars. Property owner was a pleasure to work with and very responsive to our every question and request. He apparently monitors the property from his home because when we had a brief power outage he called us to make sure we had everything we needed. The beach is beautiful, clean, wide, sandy, and uncrowded. We didn't even notice any power boat and wave runner noise like we always have at so many other rental properties. The property is almost perfect, but for two drawbacks. First, because the house sits so close to the highway, there is considerable road noise when you're sitting out on the spacious screened-in porch, which is a shame because we would have used that space more more often otherwise. Inside the house, there is no road noise at all. Second, access to the beach is very difficult. There is a stairway down which is 175 steps long, very steep, and in spots a little treacherous. Not an easy descent at all and even more taxing coming up. The access didn't seem to bother the teenagers in our group, but some of the older members of our party -- especially my 91-year-old father-in-law -- simply could not make the trip.
