What a wonderful location and relaxing home for vacation. Plenty of bedrooms and one of the nicest beaches I've ever stayed at in all my years coming to this part of southwestern Michigan. The perfect vacation home! I will definitely stay at this home again.

We had a large family group at the house this July. The kitchen is well stocked with all the items you need for making family dinners. The dining room table fit us all and there were two fridges and freezers to keep all our food and drinks ready! We loved the location as it was just steps from the beach. There was something to do for all members of the family and the hospitality could not be beat! We had no issues at all with the property and the owner was quick to handle a branch that went down after a storm. She also had some great suggestions related to local restaurants and the fourth of July fireworks. We all had a wonderful time!

The house is lovely! The beds are on the smaller side but comfortable. I thought the well water was fine, and happily drank from the Brita pitcher in the fridge. Others in my group brought bottled water and preferred that. Private beach access was fun, especially for the kids! We had a lovely stay.

The property was in a wonderful location with beautiful sunsets. Eve, the owner, was very helpful with things to do in the area. But we had a few issues with the house. The listing said it had a 3 season porch, but it was only a screened in porch that we weren't able to use. The house smelled very musty that caused problems for two of us, and the bathroom shower curtain was filthy & torn. Also we had a critter in one wall between two bedrooms that kept us awake the last night. But other than those few issues, the house was very comfortable and we enjoyed our time there.
