Awesome location, great property

Awesome location and house for our needs. The house was our vacation destination, and it provided easy access to the beach and dunes. Awesome nearby pizza restaurant and coffee shops were frequent stops for us. Would stay again!

A wonderful new year!

As a large group of friends at this property we were able to enjoy the pool, the sauna, and the hot tub. We got to relax and explore the huge wonderful home. It was a fun relaxing way to bring in the new year!

Family Christmas

Hanna was kind and responsive. The house gave our family plenty of space to be together and opportunities to retreat for quiet time. It's also great for hide-and-seek in the dark!

Amazing beach and large house

The beach is beautiful and only a 4-5 minute walk away. You can see and hear the ATVs nearby throughout the day, but it’s only a minor inconvenience. The house is large and has a unique layout. There was ample space for 6 adults and 5 children under the age of 6. Would definitely stay again!

Must visit property

We were first guest to stay at the property. We had good experience. Location of the property is the perfect (view of the sand dunes , beach at walking distance and view of the Lake Michigan from every window). Property manager was helpful and co-operative. Manager took care of the sanitation and cleanliness. I strongly recommend to stay at this property for a staycation or if you are around Mears MI.

Beautiful location

I would be happy to vacation here again! The house was plenty big enough for our 3 families with enough amenities to keep the kids and adults entertained. The kids loved playing in the pool and it was nice that puddle jumpers were there for us to use! The hot tub and sauna were a great way to wind down at night. The kitchen is very large and great for cooking! We enjoyed eating dinner each night on the huge deck overlooking Lake Michigan. The private beach on Lake Michigan was absolutely gorgeous. I was sad when it was time to leave and would love to stay here again!

Our lakes stay

House was clean and neat, plenty of space for gathering. A little misleading on how the house sits in relationship to neighbors house. Although the neighbor was great and very accommodating. For a home that sleeps so many I’m surprise that parking is so limited.

Fun time. Would stay again.

Overall fun time, nice house, has just about everything you could ask for. Close to town, can see the sand dunes from the house and lake. Food and main town not far from home. Plenty of space to sit, nice deck, large neat and unique home. Issues: 1. We had ants and fruit flies all throughout the home, specifically the kitchen area. They have ant traps out everywhere, nothing for the fruit flies but it was a pretty big issue in the kitchen. 2. Pool and hot tub had a decent amount of sand in it as well upon arrival.

Beautiful home and great location!

Our family had an amazing time with the sand dunes and Lake Michigan beach. The house is beautiful, especially the master suite. Our family enjoyed the indoor pool. The large kitchen was adequately furnished. We had a plumbing issue that was addressed quickly. We were unable to lock the patio door, apparently due to a problem from the previous renters, and this was not repaired during our stay. The pool room doors also had lock issues. The outside property needs some TLC. Overall, the owner was responding to our concerns and we would stay here again.

End of Summer Family Vacation

The property checked all of our boxes. It gave us plenty of rooms with the kids, was clean, and had plenty of activities/space at the house to keep everyone entertained. The short walk to the beach and short drive into town made it a great location for a variety of things to do. The owner was super responsive and supportive. Very appreciative of Hanna's caring and prompt attention when needed.

Would not recommend

We did not have a positive experience. Ant infestation was not corrected by property manager. The very small indoor pool was green so much that we couldn’t see bottom which not corrected until day before we left. Listing pictures don’t show the abandoned construction project that blocks views of the dunes and lake. As you sit on the deck you look at ripped Tyvek blowing in the wind. Landscaping was overgrown and unkept. Property is on the edge of the sand dunes where people off-road so be prepared to listen to the 9am-9pm noise from hundreds of dune buggies. Beach access is difficult from the property as it is a very steep climb up and down the hill to get there. Property is down a very long single lane dirt road in the woods so an SUV is recommended/necessary as part of the driveway washed away during a heavy rain while we were there. You also are responsible for removing your trash by putting it in your car and emptying it into the dumpster at the end of the dirt road. We feel we grossly overpaid and will not stay there again.

For a group of 9 guys wanting to cook, play some board games, and relax this spot was ideal. No noise issues even being close by the dunes, and the owner was very professional and responsive. Would stay again!

Unique Experience!

A beautiful, well-kept, comfy home fully enjoyed by all 10 of us. We were welcomed by a bouquet of cut flowers on Easter Sunday! No issues at all in preparing a nice holiday meal and easily gathered in kitchen for dinner. We enjoyed the sauna, pool and jacuzzi amenities. The view of Lake Michigan and the dunes were an added luxury. Thanks!

Great

I only gave an overall of 4 stars due to hot tub being dirty and having cigarette butts in it,so we couldn't use it There was also an issue with the downstairs toilet, but property owner may not of been aware until I told her. Otherwise, beautiful home and location. We very much enjoyed ourselves.

Fun Family Weekend Trip

Our family decided to book a get away instead of buying Christmas presents this year and needed a place that would accommodate 8+ people, had a indoor pool, and hot tub. This vrbo met our needs and then some! Our stay was wonderful the entire tome, had enough space for us to play different board games, and the indoor pool was a big plus. We will be coming back hopefully during the warmer months so we can enjoy the lake and outside areas as well!
