Spacious, yet Quaint
Our family enjoyed our time here at this old house! The pictures are super bright and cheery, but that has to be a filter. There are games and Wi-Fi for the kids. The hot tub was super enjoyable. An easy walk to the beach. They provided bath towels, as well as hot tub towels. The listing isn’t quite accurate as far as beds and spaces. There’s only one king size bed in the entire place. Most of the other bedrooms just have a queen. The guesthouse is pretty awkward and has a very tricky deadbolt that needs to have the handle up in order to turn. Overall, we were pleased with the space and how responsive the owners were!

A Bit of a Letdown
We were there to celebrate our 40th college graduation. Although the location was great, a block from the lake on a beautiful tree-lined street, we ran into several problems. The WIFI was not available during our 3 night stay until the last night. I was told if it wasn't working to find the router, and plug/unplug. We could not locate the router anywhere in the house. After texting and calling dozens of times, someone finally came on Saturday afternoon to install a router. Apparently we were the first guests of new owners. The 3 garbage cans out front were supposed to be picked up Friday, but the new owners had not signed up for pick up. So we had full, stinky, buggy garbage cans & had to leave the rest of ours on the front porch. Also there were several things that were either filthy or not working. The tops of the ceiling fans, even the one over the dining table, were extremely dirty. The fan in the upstairs bedroom was not safe to run, super wobbly. There was a food wrapper on top of the shower in the upstairs large bathroom. In the guest house the washer/dryer knobs were about to fall off and the toliet ran unless you shook the handle. The furniture cushions on the front porch were stained and dirty, & one of the front gates was very overgrown. The house was not stocked with enough TP, dishwasher or laundry pods. The wine opener did not work. Finally, the TV in the den had a poor quality picture as we watched the Notre Dame game. Got pics if interested.

Quintessential Beach House
Everything about our stay was perfect from start to finish! We had a large group that included teenagers. Having the guest house for the teens to retreat to really gave them space to call their own. The main house is gorgeous with lots of character. Beautiful architectural details, furniture, artwork and décor. The home was extremely clean, very comfy beds, nice linens and lots of space! Kitchen was stocked with all the gadgets, cookware, and dishware you could need, and all appliances worked perfectly. The outdoor space is lush, peaceful and quite spacious. We loved the hot tub and enjoyed it each night! The outdoor grill was great for our big group. The beach is super close, a 2-minute walk and you're there! At the end of the block is the Whistle Stop (amazing coffee, pastries etc.) and Red Arrow Roadhouse. Also, a short walk to downtown Union Pier, some adorable restaurants and super convenient Union Pier Market. Can’t wait to go back!

Great location and great space
This was a perfect spot for a women's retreat with 10 ladies. Everyone had their own bed and the space provided great space to gather together and find some quiet. Loved how close it was to the beach and the hot tub for warming up!

Winter Fest
Our family of 8 needed a nice spot for a winter getaway. This home was perfect! We loved the charm of the home settled in a sweet neighborhood, great for walking and steps from the beach. Because of the cold weather we loved the giant fireplace, the wonderful hot tub and the variety of games! The kitchen is perfect for big family cooking and we loved the giant table to gather, play cards and simply chat the day away. Union pier is an adorable and quiet winter hang, but we can imagine it being bustling and beautiful in the summer! Perhaps a revisit?

Good location, poorly maintained & frustrating
If you like a short walk to an easy beach, if you can tolerate kitchen ants, a non-functioning grill, a guest house with sloping floors & tile falling off the shower stall walls, missing bulbs & sockets that don't work, shower door that doesn't close - and a management company, Vacasa, that is of little help - this is your place. BTW-It's falling apart at the seams & dirty. Wife says to mention the outdoor furniture is too filthy to sit at. And good luck getting the key from the lock box..

We loved this property! Experience with VRBO and Vacasa (property mgr) was top notch! We booked the property 6 months ago. Whenever we had questions prior to our stay, Vacasa always responded promptly. Our party included 8 adults, 2 children (3 and 6 yrs old), and a medium sized dog. The house has all the amenities. The beach is a 5 minute walk. We rented paddle boards from the local beach rental and they conveniently dropped off and picked them up. The backyard is enclosed and is pet and child friendly. Our 3 yr old and 6 yr old grandkids loved the playset in the backyard (although we had to clean it up a bit from a lot of spider webs and leaf debri but not a big deal). The only complaint we had was there was no wifi in the guest house which was not defined in the listing. One of the reasons we booked the property was so my son-in-law could use the guest house for online work meetings so it was a big disappointment for him not to have the space away from our big family for work. Two days of our stay was dangerously hot so it was nice to have such a big home for indoor activities. The central air worked well despite the intense heat. The entire family loved the property and we couldn't have been happier with all the memories made there! Highly recommend!
