Amazing location and views!
We immediately fell in love with the property when we walking in and saw the panoramic view from the floor to ceiling windows! The weather wasn’t great for our trip, but thankfully the house was the perfect cozy escape from the rain. Our two dogs loved being close to the beach and the water. Great communication from the owner as well. Would definitely stay again (and hope for better weather) :)

Stunning Beachside Retreat
We LOVED our stay here and plan to be back! Perfect cozy house by the beach. The deck is so nice and gives you so much extra space. Owners were very responsive and helpful during our stay. Steps down to the beach are fairly steep. I brought my arthritic 10 year old dog and she did good, but keep in mind for older dogs or anyone with stair issues. Parking is right next to the house which is so convenient. I honestly can’t think of any other amenities that would have made the trip better!

Beach getaway
My husband and I spent our 25 wedding anniversary here. We took our 2 dogs with us. The house was spectacular and so was the beach. The sunsets were just beautiful. We will be back

Family getaway
Needed a quick getaway with the family and this did not disappoint, the views are stunning and the proximity to the beach can’t be beat! Was honestly a little nervous to book based on the photos (seemed a little dated) but they don’t do the property justice. It is much better in person. Everything is neat and clean and I would definitely recommend!

Amazing view of Lake Michigan
As soon as I walked in the door, I saw the wall of windows that look out to Lake Michigan. It was amazing. The house is lovely - clean and nicely decorated. The hosts are friendly and were readily accessible to answer questions. I highly recommend this property and will definitely go back another time.

Wonderful Stay
This was the perfect spot for our family to spend spring break. The proximity to the beach was perfect, and the view from the deck was breathtaking. The house itself was clean and had everything we needed. My kids are already asking when we can go back - and we certainly will!
