Lovely Home

The home had everything I needed, and the Golf Cart was perfect to get to the beach! The screened in patio was a perfect place for a quiet morning.

Best house ever.

These hosts thought of everything. They have the basics - cleanliness, wifi, plenty of space - covered of course, but what stands out are all the little extras they thought of, like a little library and collection of board games. For the money this is the best place I've rented on a vacation.

Good experience overall

The house was clean, the kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The only thing I thought was odd - the primary bathroom had a shower head but it wasn't functional.

Great property in quiet neighborhood

The property is located on a nice wooded lot, with a comfortable screened porch and a deck off the master bedroom. Walk to the beach is about half a mile - not an issue for our party, but would be far with very young children or those with limited mobility. I had challenges with the wifi being very unreliable. Property manager tried to rectify, but we weren't successful. Definitely recommend for a vacation stay!

Long Weekend Trip

Home was clean and seems newly updated with a very well supplied kitchen. The neat round shape makes the home have a unique layout, but we had plenty of room and the furnishings were comfortable. We enjoyed the deck space, outdoor fire pit and hammock. Several game options the kids enjoyed. We did have a bit of confusion with the light switches and i believe turned off one that controlled wifi. The help line was immediately available and helped walk us through it. The neighborhood seemed safe and quiet. We walked to nearby beach access for sunsets (no parking at the access). Overall a great stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
I feel the property was misrepresented. It was not a ten minute walk to a beach. The beaches we did find had extremely steep stairs which we would not have chosen due to safety. We had to drive to New Buffalo beach for our beach enjoyment. Also, the kitchen was not well-stocked: it would have been nice to know for example that there were no spices or condiments before we got there. There were not enough toilet paper/paper towels; needed more kitchen towels/dish cloths; there was only a small bottle of dish soap, and the cleaners left us only 3 dishwasher detergent packets - for a 5 night stay. The pillows were all huge and very firm. The upstairs was very warm and stuffy, sleeping was uncomfortable. The bikes in the garage were locked up (so much for riding bikes to the beach) and the cleanliness could have been better. For example, we ran the vacuum and got a ton of sand off the kitchen and living room floors. We did enjoy the screened in porch, and when the grill wasn't working the maintenance person came puncutlaly to fix it.
