Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental is a three bedroom house with ample living room and kitchen space for a small family. The beach is one block away (does require the use of at least 30 stairs leading down to the beach.) The location is perfect for going to the beach and patronizing local restaurants and shops. We would stay here again! ##### Heather L. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel M. 15 Jul 2025 #### Perfect get away. Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We needed a house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms that was close to the beach. This fit the bill perfectly. It was such a clean and fresh smelling house- not a hint of mold. Kitchen and living room had a nice flowing layout. All of our children commented how they really enjoyed the house. A definite winner. ##### Daniel M.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a lovely time at this home! The kitchen was beautiful and so well-stocked with all the tools, bowls, and plates we needed. The bathroom towels were so nice, and the step stool for the little ones was a thoughtful touch. Thank you also for the new beach chairs—we really enjoyed using them! The short walk to the beach was perfect, and coming back to a clean home with the A/C keeping us cool during the hot week was a real plus. We also loved roasting marshmallows around the fire pit and grilling a couple of nights—everything worked perfectly! The home is just a few minutes from the beach—just pull your wagon down the road and walk down the stairs to the beautiful sands and water. It was a great spot for a week of fun before school starts, and we’re sure others will love it too for their next beach getaway or a fun-filled visit to Southwest Michigan! ##### Daniel A.
