The cottage was completely charming and had a fantastic layout for our family, with the highlights being the luxurious master suite and the extensive outdoor area. The location was perfect. Union Pier is the best little beach town in the area, in our opinion, and the cottage is tucked in a great spot close to the beach. Surpassed expectations! ##### Chad W.

The location couldn’t be beat - two blocks to both a beautiful beach and delicious bakery. The house was cozy and well equipped with kitchen and beach items. There was no crib as seen in the photos but there is a pack and play available for use. Howard was wonderful to communicate with. We loved our stay and hope to be back! ##### Annie M.

Easy walk to the beach and well equipped with beach chairs, towels, wagon. The house itself was even better than it looked in the pictures. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and eat in for most of our meals. The air conditioner worked well which was essential during the heat spell we had. Howard was there to meet us at check in and helped us with one small problem we had with a key during our stay. We couldn’t have asked for more from our vacation! We would definitely stay here again! ##### Amy G.

The house was clean, comfortable and very nicely appointed. The location of the house in relation to the beach is just great. Very very walkable and Howard provides a little wagon and beach goodies. Union Pier is a very walkable and friendly town. It's growing and my personal hope is that it does not grow to much to fast. This is just really hard to beat. ##### Rick B.

I will return myself to this property. The cottage is immaculate, so incredibly clean. The interior and exterior space is so comfortable and charming. The cottage is very spacious and is so well appointed. Howard has thought of everything for your stay. There are 30 + windows in this home letting in so much light and breeze. The neighborhood is peaceful with just a short walk to the beach. Howard has a wagon, beach chairs, towels umbrella, etc all waiting for you. Staying at this property could not have been easier. This property would be great for couples traveling together or a family. There is a large dining room indoors and a nice outdoor area for dining and lounging as well. The cottage is pet friendly which is a huge plus as well. I cannot wait to return. If you are looking to stay in Union Pier, look no further. This cottage is a lovely and incredibly comfortable place to stay. ##### Ann D.

Beyond being well kept and smartly decorated, there are numerous additional amenities—beach gear such as chairs, a wagon, floats as well as children’s toys, books and movies. All of this made it easier to pack and entertain a toddler! We have rented in the area before and this was by far the most thoughtfully stocked cottage with a fantastic location. We loved our time and would highly recommend! ##### Jenny H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave S. 12 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy, clean, and close to everything Small cottage but great floor plan with 3 BRs, 2 baths, ample kitchen and nice dining and living area. small yard but nice deck and eating area. We could walk to beach in a couple minutes, same for walking to stores. Area is very quiet. We loved it! Owner is easy to work with. Just a great area and nice cottage. ##### Dave S.

We were 4 adults, three kids and a labrador retriever and we all had a wonderful time. The description of the cottage is accurate and it even included things that we didn't expect: toys for the kids, beach toys, a wagon to carry things to the beach, fishing gear, etc... The owner is very nice and helpful. The cottage is really closed to the beach and the beach is actually great. Lots of stuff to do nearby. We can only recommend staying at this cottage and enjoy a wonderful vacation. ##### Kay G.

Close to the beach, biking trails, a restaurant or 2 and a couple of small markets. We used the beach chairs, cooler and wagon to go the beach. We used the deck everyday for morning coffee, grilling, etc. There is plenty of seating inside and out for dining. The washer and dryer came in handy as well. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. We had a great time! ##### Pamela S.

Close to the beach, within walking distance to several restaurants and a coffee shop. The owner has equipped this cottage with everything you need. The fenced in deck was perfect for napping in the hammock, the dogs enjoying the sun, and a small child enjoying playing with the three frogs water fountains. What could be better? We highly recommend this wonderful cottage and look forward to future visits. ##### LeAnne M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sugar Beach Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Sugar-Beach-Resort-Hotel.h114770.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn on Putney Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brattleboro-Hotels-Inn-On-Putney-Road.h1779393.Hotel-Information) > > [New tiny house available in the country on a 5 acre motocross track MX ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myakka-City-Hotels-New-Tiny-House-Available-In-The-Country-On-A-5-Acre-Motocross-Track-MX.h35668895.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn Lakefront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Ignace-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Lakefront.h23070.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waikoloa-Hotels-Ocean-Tower-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h28763131.Hotel-Information) > > [Wildcatter Ranch & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Graham-Hotels-Wildcatter-Ranch-Resort.h1925216.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Mishawaka, IN](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h119010.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Winds Casino Resort – New Buffalo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benton-Harbor-Hotels-Four-Winds-Casino-Resort-New-Buffalo.h13278629.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Mountain Inn Nude Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Sea-Mountain-Inn-Nude-Resort-Adults-Only.h27490625.Hotel-Information) > > [Multi-Family A-Frame Cabin: 9 Beds + Lake Access + AC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Arrowhead-Hotels-Summer-A-Frame-Cabin-Lake-Access-AC.h79186206.Hotel-Information) > > [Boyne Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Petoskey-Hotels-Boyne-Mountain-Resort.h74159.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Traverse City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Traverse-City.h976684.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Scandinavian Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sister-Bay-Hotels-Scandinavian-Lodge.h16603450.Hotel-Information) > > [Dogs Welcome Peaceful Point Eddington ME, Near Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eddington-Hotels-Dogs-Welcome-Peaceful-Point-Eddington-ME.h18979882.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Howell-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Brighton.h18410578.Hotel-Information) > > [Kingsley House Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holland-Hotels-Kingsley-House-Bed-Breakfast.h1507078.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Dakota](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killdeer-Hotels-Hotel-Dakota.h9760278.Hotel-Information) > > [Tesla MedBed Center, East Dubuque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Dubuque-Hotels-Tesla-MedBed-Center.h1076011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Mission Point Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mackinac-Island-Hotels-Mission-Point-Resort.h1569.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ann Arbor West by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ann-Arbor-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Ann-Arbor-West.h9215322.Hotel-Information) > > [Bearadise Mt.
