I like the big dining table where we all could sit and enjoy each other company whether eating, talking, and playing board games/cards. Outside patio was nice and spent quite a bit of time there. Even though we were in a heat wave the patio was shaded and pleasant. The upstairs was nice for kids as there was another TV where they could enjoy if they didn't like what was on downstairs TV. We would consider staying here again but we always like to travel to different places for our family vacation. ##### Patsy Y.

Beds were comfortable. Front porch was our gathering place for morning coffee before kids were up. We enjoyed watching the geese. Believe it or not they used the crosswalks when crossing over street to marina. No complaints from any of us. If we come back to area would definitely stay here again.

The home was lovely. A short walk to the downtown area. We visited a different beach with family staying in Harbert & Union Pier, MI so I can't speak to how the beach access was. But the house was well equipped with towels, chairs, floaties and a beach cart. There was plenty of space for our family and the outside patio and yard with fire pit was lovely in the evenings. Our hosts even left a very sweet note and a great welcome kit with treats that the kids really appreciated. The only issues we had were very strong transitions going from tile to wood floor in kitchen and bathrooms which we worried would be a trip hazard for my mid 70's mom. She was glad to have the master bed downstairs since the stairway was twisty and narrow as is fitting for such a neat, old house. We felt fine walking in the area during the day but would hesitate to walk at night. Several nearby buildings in disrepair. ##### Nicole M.

All the linens , bed covers, and even toiletries were supplied. The backyard, grill and fireplace were supplied, including wood for the fireplace. The grill was almost brand new. Yeah, the outside of the house was clean no cobwebs no spiderwebs all in all was a very enjoyable stay. However, it was on a busy street. It was stated that there was room for three cars to park in the driveway. There really is only room for two cars to park in the driveway only blocks away from the Michigan city mall. The beach was no more than a 20 minute walk or a five minute drive very convenient . The area in itself, however was a little rundown not necessarily the best area to walk around at night. 13 members in our group including eight adults and five children ages 10 to 18 ##### Chuck K.
