We absolutely lived our rental. Perfect location to the beach and town. Beautifully kept home.
This property was lovely. The home is well kept and updated. The location could not be beat. We walked to the beach a few times a day. You're close to everything but at the same time feel like you're away from it all. We would stay again! Thank you for sharing your home.

We rented this beautifully appointed 3 bedroom, 2 bath home to share with our daughter, son-in-law, and 9 month granddaughter. We loved the home for relaxing and enjoying both the front and back porches.,the home was on a beautiful, private road in walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The kitchen was well appointed and the home had a lot of privacy. We would stay here again!
Absolutely perfect! Comfortable, homey, clean, and just right for our reunion of high school friends. Plenty of room and great location. Decor is gorgeous. Loved the walks on the beach, deer outside our window, the peace and quiet, the beautiful trees sheltering the home, etc. Everything A+! Thank you!

Reviewer Comments:
The house has a great open layout for everyone to gather, yet enough bedrooms and porches for alone time. The location is quiet and an easy walk to Whistle Stop cafe, Red Arrow Roadhouse and downtown Union Pier. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach, which doesn’t get crowded even on weekends. This was our second year staying at Just Beachy.
A beautiful cottage home in a great location. Girls weekend for mom's birthday. Would love to come back when the weather is warmer to take advantage of the outdoor fire pit and screened in porch.
The only "cons" I have is that we had a fire in the fireplace but there were no tools to stoke the fire or clean out the ashes. The other con is the beach was more than 2 blocks away. Mom couldn't walk there and there is no public parking at the public access closest to the home.
Overall, a wonderful weekend!

Response from VrboOwner on 22 September 2023
We are so glad that you enjoyed the house and are interested in returning. Our apologies regarding the fireplace and not having any tools. We wish you had contacted us as we would have assisted in getting you what you needed. As for the beach it is 2.5 blocks from the house and there is no public parking but you are able to park on a side street with no issues, especially this time of year. In the future when staying with us please reach out to us so that we can assist you. We look forward to having you in one of our homes again in the future.

The house was a great size and very clean. Very well stocked. Loved the screened in porch. The location was different than expected but fine- close to major road and train but trees give good buffer. Not as close to the beach as expected but worked out fine. Lovely, comfortable home

House was clean, close to the beach, short drive to restaurants in Union Pier/New Buffalo, and just the right amount of amenities. The property manager made sure our check in was a smooth process and even informed us we could check in earlier than expected. The description of the house, layout, and location were spot on and we would rent again in the future.
My family and I had a great time at this location. House was very accurate with the listing and provided everything we needed for our stay. Property manager was very efficient with our check-in process and information for our stay. Fantastic house and location for a family trip! Beach was about a 5 minute walk down the road which was perfect for our little ones. We plan on using this house again for future trips!
The home was roomy at cozy. We felt at home immediately.
5-10 minute walk to a quiet, beautiful public beach (bring beach toys if you have kids).
Kitchen is very well equipped.
