We had an excellent stay again this year. The kids had a great time fishing on the dock. House has plenty of space with lots of amenities. And our host Angels is always easy to get a hold of and talk to.
Great property for large family gathering! Angela has thought of everything you might need to stay at the property and have plenty to do. We also took advantage of nearby Pickleball courts, golfed, and went to parks for sunset over Lake Michigan. Great location and very nice, comfortable house for all of us.
Rented for my daughter's family weekend at Grand Valley State. This oasis gave us just what we needed. Plenty of space and lots of things to do. We had a group of 13 and everyone enjoyed it. Angela was amazing. Got information to us really fast and was extremely helpful.
Our family of 14, from infant to age 75, found this house met all of our needs and expectations. There were many amenities throughout, from an extra baby monitor to everything you need at the beach. Also games for every age indoor and out. Beaches were close and other attractions within 15 minutes. We had a great time!
Great property and house with plenty of space for everyone. Angela always has a lot of additional items for use on her properties (beach chairs, towels, kiddie pools and other kids toys, and all kinds of games and activities). The pond was great as kids spent a lot of time fishing and playing in sand!
the property was amazing. We had young boys and having the pier, ping pong, and areas to run was wonderful.
Lots of space for the sleeping many. It would have been nice to have 1 more full bath.
So many extras were in the garage available for use and the kitchen had its of pluses too.
Our group of 8 adults, a teen, and two small children were very comfortable and had space to spread out. The basement was great for the small kids to have their own space. Big highlights are the kitchen and deck! Our only disappointment was not being able to use the amazing yard due to it being a goose dropping minefield, but I suppose that’s to be expected with a pond nearby. We also loved the beach gear and games. Great family vacation!
Decent size group of 16 guys checking out the area for golf. Great location as it’s only 15 mins from American Dunes in grand Haven. House is spacious. Could have fit more guys. But felt like we had ample space that we weren’t on top of each other. Nice patio/deck with grill that allowed us to just hang outside, cook and enjoy spending time with each other. House is modern and clean with everything else you can ask for entertainment for a group.
From the moment we drove up to the property, we all kept saying, “This is better than we ever expected!”, and we kept saying it throughout our stay at Dashy’s Destination. Angela was always available and accommodated our needs for extra beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. even before we arrived. She stayed in touch throughout our visit. The property is set on a vacation wonderland that’s ready for lots of memory making! We had a large group with lots of interests and there was something for everyone- kayaks, games, arcade games, quiet time at the pond, beach time, s’mores around the campfire, cozy naps (we loved the mattresses!), basketball, and more! Every person had a great time! We also loved the size of the home, in that everyone also had their own space. It was a trip to remember, and this incredible home and property were a large part in making that happen. We definitely recommend!
Angela is so easy to work with and we have enjoyed her place for 4 years in a row now. This property has everything you need. When we aren’t playing games or relaxing on the large deck (with awesome tiki bar), we love that it’s close to the beach, golf, and pickleball courts.
This house/property is nicely laid out and spacious if youhave a larger group. Lots of space to spread out! It is also in a great location as our party explored Holland, Grand Haven, West Olive, etc. The grocery stores were pretty convenient also. The house seemed a bit more "worn" than the pictures show, but all in all, very decent and Angela was an attentive host.
Angela provided great directions and clearly outlined the checkin/check out process and rules. The house had everything you could need and was well stocked for a weekend trip.
The property was just as described and we had a wonderful time. We did not lack for anything - Angela has alot of "extras" onsite for guest convenience and she was very helpful to area recommendations.
This house had everything you need for a great and fun holiday. Very nice and clean house. We were able to find a lot of activities even in winter. We want to return to this house in the summer and we sure that it will be amazing
Stayed here for my daughter’s college graduation weekend and walked in to a congratulations cookie basket that Angela left for my daughter. Very nice. Plenty of room for all of my family and friends.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. We had plenty of room inside and out. The grandkids enjoyed fishing and the back yard. There is much to do in this area of Michigan also with all the great beaches and other activities available. Enjoy your time at the house or away - your choice.
Our children and grandchildren (18 total) stayed very comfortably at this property. Just as advertised with plenty of games and activities to keep all of the grandkids happy. We did lots of fishing with great results. Perfect place for our gathering! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.
