We’ve been renting from Aqua vacations for over a decade (really???0 and have never been disappointed. This summer was no different. Huge yard, porch with rocking chairs for reading, and a loft area well appointed for teenagers.

Fantastic friends getaway

We loved our stay! The house was exactly as described and the pictures were spot on. We had plenty of space for a group of 5 friends. Loved that the house was straight down the street from a fun bar for Friday night and we all enjoyed a lovely walk to the beach the next morning. The fire pit was all stocked with wood for us and it truly was so turnkey, we loved it and would absolutely stay again.

Perfect house for our getaway to the New Buffalo area

This house was perfect! It was beautifully decorated and stocked very well. It had everything we needed for cooking or grilling. Beds were very comfortable, the 4 bedrooms were perfect for our family of 8. It was close to stores and restaurants. with a short drive to New Buffalo and a short walk to the beach. I highly recommend it for your stay in Union Pier

Union pier is awesome

This house fit the bill for two families (with 4 young kids combined) getting to the beach for a long weekend. Easy walk to coffee, ice cream, restaurants in UP and 5-10 min walk to the beach. House is as advertised. Clean and nice and well stocked with games and beach toys/chairs/towels. Also well stocked with kitchen equipment if you want to cook. My only knock is that when you’re paying $600+/night to stay somewhere you shouldn’t have to run dishes and laundry and take out trash when you leave (not suggesting you can trash the place either). Especially when it’s clearly not someone’s home you’re staying in, just a rental business property..

Beautiful home

Our family had a great stay at White Sands! The house was beautiful. The only drawback for us was the location of the Lake. It's quite the walk for elderly people, so we drove to the lake and the younger ones walked. We also had one bath towel each, so we laundered frequently, but overall, would definitely recommend!!! Never used the back yard, but enjoyed sitting on the front porch each evening! Very peaceful!

There was plenty of room for seven teenagers and three adults. The pictures don't do it any justice... just a beautiful clean home. Close to beaches and breweries and tons of places to eat! This will be our annual trip each year... White Sands is our new Pure Michigan Vacation Home :)

Great Family Stay

Overall, our experience at this rental was great. It accommodated 10 of us and gave us plenty of space. Our favorite part of the property was the location distance from the beach. It was a little under 10 minutes to walk there and the beach was just beautiful. The only suggestion would be to bring extra toliet paper, paper towels, and trash bags for they only provide a bear minimum. Since we had 10 of us staying in the home it was easy to use more than what was provided. They do provide some beach towels which was a nice touch. Overall, our stay was great and we would recommend this property to anyone looking to have a nice getaway.

Great place for an extended family get away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second time we have used White Sands for our family fall get away. There is plenty of room for six adults and four children. It is within walking distance of the beach and it's location makes it easy for us to visit the pumpkin patch in Three Oaks. The house is close to New Buffalo restaurants and any restaurants that are close to Red Arrow Highway. The house is very clean. We did not encounter any problems that required us to contact management. We would not hesitate to visit again. Reservation, checking and checkout processes were very easy.
