The place is very deceiving from the outside. Once you get inside it is so much bigger and up to date. Very nice place. The only thing I was disappointed about was that the floors were dirty.It even stated on the papers at the VRBO that the cleaning people do a light cleaning. Floors may have been vacuumed but they definitely need a wet mopping (swifter). Wear slippers or your feet will be black.

Super clean house, easy check-in and check-out, great location and great value for the price! Towels - including beach towels - and sheets included was awesome - don’t always get that. My only suggestion would be that the open kitchen/dining/seating area as well as the TV room could use a table lamp or standing lamp as the overhead lights are very bright. Also the loose block on the sidewalk along the driveway needs to be secured. Great house, though - we had a great time there!

Great for families

The house was very nice, but it had some minor problems, like the shelf in the refrigerator was off track, causing our food to fall through I was scared we was going to break it so because it was so unstable, the shelf that holds the glasses was not really stable either so we bought paper cups and plates so we didn't have to touch the shelf. The bathrooms were perfect, and all the living areas were very comfortable for my family and me. The rooms were very clean, and there were enough beds for everyone

Miller Beach

The house is in a wonderful location to the beach. It is a short walk on quiet roads to the beach. My family and my two brother's families enjoyed the week immensely. Even with the weather in the 70s, we were able to enjoy time in the water and on the beach.

Lovely Miller Beach home!

This home was a five minute walk from the beach and we enjoyed amazing sunsets everyday! The layout and amenities of the home were perfect for family to meet and spend time together, both indoors and out. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in yard immensely. This is the second property that we’ve rented from this host-she’s great and very responsive.

As Advertised!

Everything advertised online in the description about the property is accurate. Great home for the family to spend the week. Can hang out inside or out. Walk to the beach is 5 minutes and not much beach traffic making for a relaxing experience. Will definitely look up this place again for our next trip to Lake MI.

Great home base for Volleyball Tourney

Great central location for getting to the various sports complexes our kids played at. Two families (4 adults and 5 teens) for very comfortably. Lots of space to spread out and/or gather together for games. Kids loved ping pong and piano and grown ups loved the easy access to the lovely beach. Margaret was very friendly, accessible and accommodating. House was clean and beautifully decorated. We had a really nice stay.
