The home exceeded our expectations! Incredibly clean, charming home with a great layout for small families and groups. We loved the location—a 10 minute walk to the beach, 5 minute walk to the Swedish bakery, and a 5 to 10 minute drive to dozens of excellent restaurants and shops. We would stay here again in a heart beat! The hosts were quick to communicate and left incredibly helpful guides and information for a great stay.

My family and I loved this property. It felt like a home away from home. My husband and I enjoyed our coffee on the screened in porch every morning while our kids read. The kitchen was fully stocked, which I appreciated. A short walk to a fantastic bakery. The walk to the beach was always enjoyable and the space was never overcrowded. The property is a great location for visiting nearby attractions as well. We hope to visit again!

This property has been updated and was beautifully decorated and sparkling clean. The living and dining areas are spacious and the screened porch is a wonderful addition. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed using the outdoor table and the fire pit. The location is secluded but convenient to beaches, breweries, and restaurants. Our two grandsons were a little disappointed that there was not an arcade/game room as listed on VRBO, but only a game table. However, there were plenty of outdoor activities to keep them busy. Thank you for sharing your special family place with us!

Thank you for your review. We take pride in our cottage. It should be noted that VRBO asked if you have entertainment. Apparently they put that under “a game room“ where we listed that we have multiple board games, beach toys, chest, checkers cards, and croquet & a dedicated area in which to play games. We also have a piano. I will make sure to ask VRBO to take out the word game room.. I’m glad the boys found alternative ways to entertain themselves. It’s always nice to get the kids out in nature.

This was our second time staying at this property and we enjoyed it once again. The location is great for getting to Harbert beach and also for driving to nearby restaurants, blueberry farms, attractions like Captain Mike's, as well as St. Joe's for a day trip.

This is our second time staying here and we loved it as much as the first time! The house is clean, has kitchen and beach essentials and is a great location to the beach, restaurants, blueberry picking, dunes, other little towns. The owners respond right away with any issues (although we haven’t really had any). We can’t wait to go back!

Relaxing escape!

This house was the perfect getaway! It was in the perfect location; hidden away with access to beaches and the quietness of nature but also so close to the main drag of Warren dunes and new buffalo. We will definitely stay again.

The location of this beach cottage is fantastic. We were minutes away from a beautiful, long beach, a fun and popular swiss bakery with tasty nibbles, and close to Sawyer for dining options. Our hosts were very responsive to all our questions from the moment we arrived. We loved having our morning coffee in the screened in porch and the hot rain shower at the end of a day at the beach. Also lots of places to run and bike. We had a great long weekend. Thanks for your hospitality!

The house had everything we could want and prettier decor than seen in the photos. Everything is updated and in excellent condition including appliances. Plenty of comfortable seating, comfortable beds, and CLEAN! It's in a pleasant setting and central to all we wanted to do in Harbor Country. The hosts were immediately responsive to our few minor questions during our 2-week stay. Favorite spot: screened porch. But the house would also be a great winter retreat. We hope to return.

Very comfortable cottage

My group of 2 adults and 2 young kids had a wonderful stay. The cottage was very comfortable, clean, and well-stocked, with space for everyone to stretch out and relax and a very nice screened in porch to enjoy the nice weather. The location is fantastic, with the bakery and the beach in walking distance. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

It was a short drive to the beaches which were beautiful. They have clean bathrooms, water sports rentals and food vendor trucks. A great time!
