One thing to note is that I had no cell reception, so it was challenging to communicate and receive check in code for the front door. Luckily, the owner texted me and it came through, but even on the house wifi I wasn't having much luck accessing the VRBO website. We enjoyed our stay and had what we needed. ##### Cheryl D.

The house was perfect for our group with plenty of beds, bathrooms, and space for 5 adults and two kids. I know the water was a concern for several past renters, but for anyone who is familiar with well water, the house is perfectly normal and the addition of a jug water dispenser in the kitchen is a major plus. Diana, the owner is really easy to work with and perfectly reasonable in her requests/house rules. ##### Ariel A.

We had a great time during our stay! Dianna was very responsive and helpful both ahead of time and during, and was great about communicating things we’d need (or want) to know ahead of time also! Everything was clean and the house was spacious. The house has great bones so sound didn’t carry into the bedrooms much at all, so we all got great rest! Our favorite feature was certainly the beach being merely paces across the street, right outside of our front door. It was a dreamy beach with the perfect proximity. Thanks again, Dianna! If ever we’re around again we will certainly stay with you. Thank you! ##### Courtney N.

There were 9 of us sharing the house for a long weekend and it was had plenty of casual seating for us. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and condiments. Bring dishwasher packs though. The bathrooms are really nice, and the beds were comfy. There were a variety of games to play, and the offer to let us use the beach toys was very nice. There was plenty of wood for the fire pit, and the kindling and tinder were already sorted. Dianna responded very quickly to questions, and very kindly offered to send a souvenir that we had missed packing. ##### Lynn C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica W. 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for us Our family spends a week at Lake Michigan each year. This was our first year staying at the Blue Shutter beach house. We had 6 adults and one child. If you’re looking for a high end rental, this is not for you. If you’re looking for a cozy beach house, this one is great. The house is stocked with all of the kitchenware you need for meals. They provide enough toiletries, paper dilly, etc for a day or two. On site laundry is a plus. Plenty of board games for rainy days. The beach access right across the street at Hagar park is so nice. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch for coffee in the mornings and to escape the bugs in the evening. The owner was very accommodating in a few requests we had and made us feel welcomed. Overall, it was a great place to spend time with family and we would definitely rent again! ##### Jessica W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rebecca C. 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### too many rules charging us for cleaning and than telling us to clean is nuts, we had to strip our sheets and take them down stairs, take out the trash, buy products that should have been their, like garbage bags, grill did not work nor the was there a working lighter for the grill....The beds were comfortable. The water smelled like rotten eggs. and the stairs were scary. The owner kept telling me to go 2 miles down the road to buy the products that should have been there already. I would never stay there again. ##### Rebecca C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Candice C. 15 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Girls Wkd 2023 We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your establishment. The owner was friendly, easily accessible and accommodating. They even provided games for us to play should the weather not cooperate for outside and/or beach time. The only thing I could really critique would be the property listing itself, which indicates there is a loft area. In all reality, the "loft area" is actually a small closet at the top of the stairs with no windows and a single mattress on the floor. This wasn't a problem for our group, as there were enough actual beds/bedrooms to accommodate our party, but I could see how this could possibly be a problem for future guests. Other than that, the place was as advertised, clean, and fun to stay in. ##### Candice C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabrina F. 30 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Dianna was very responsive. We had a really nice stay! The home was comfortable, clean, and well maintained. The bathrooms and living area were especially nice. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we could need — plenty of pots, pans, dishes, and glasses. We also appreciated the extra touches like towels, blankets, and even spare toiletries in case something was forgotten. Overall, a great experience and a wonderful place to stay! ##### Sabrina F.

The 2 beaches we went to, St. Joseph and the S. Haven were just fantastic. The Blue Shutter home was clean, and we had enough room for our 11 visitors. Thank you from all of us ! ##### Kristina L.
