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!

Beautiful house
The house was beautiful with awesome view. It was clean and well stocked. The beach was easily accessible but we couldn’t go because it was very cold and windy. Had a great stay with family. Owner was very helpful.
