We have been visiting Lake Michigan from Kansas City for many years and this property is the best location we’ve ever had. It is a wonderful property with everything you could need and want. Only one of our 4 kids was able to accompany us, but we look forward to renting again when all of our kids and their partners can accompany us.

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed in this home before (and would again). It's in a great location and is well appointed. For the price, there's a lot of deferred maintenance.The raised deck (which is really the only outdoor space), is terrible. It has screws popping up, spongy, rotted wood, etc.The HVAC also needs significant work. If you set the main level at 74 degrees, the lower level will be 62. This is problematic because three of the four bedrooms are in the lower level. To make matters worse, the HVAC unit failed during our stay so it got hot and humid for about 36 hours. The management team did get that taken care of pretty quickly. Lastly, a couple of the faucets are loose in their sinks, toilets that run or don't flush property unless you take the lid off, etc.I guess what I'm saying is, for nearly $7K, I expect a property to be better taken care of. Still, we'll return because the home meets our needs, the nearby beach is great and it has ample parking. We're hopeful these items get addressed before next year.

The house was great. Very well stocked with everything you would need. Easy trip to the beach. We had a great time. The front deck is a great place to hang out.
We loved this house - better than we were expecting! The house was so cozy and comfortable, so close to the beach, and close to everything you could need.

We had a great time. Brought our 2 daughters and their families. Plenty of room for everyone. The older kids loved the bunk beds. We were able to go to the beach every day. The amenities (games, cookware, dishware) in the house met all our needs. We also were able to use the deck everyday as the weather was very good. The deck looks out on the street, but there is very little traffic.Another plus for the property was that the playground was just a few minutes away.
