The house couldn’t be in a better location in Charlevoix! Check in couldn’t have been smoother, and Joe couldn’t have been more responsive to questions or concerns. House was clean, well appointed, and the deck was really relaxing! I absolutely will be staying here again next trip to Charlevoix!

We loved this house and location. It's very comfortable, and equipped and furnished with kids in mind, too. The owners' care and attention to detail really shows through, just like their other properties. I have never had a better VRBO experience than renting their well-managed properties for my son's wedding.

My family had a great time at this house. Plenty of room with four bedrooms and a nice living area. Great location for walking into Charlevoix. The house had a new owner who is very attentive and eager to please - which he did. Would have no hesitation to sat here again.

Continues to be a fantastic stay!

This is our second stay of the summer at this property and it was just as delightful as the first time. Super clean and the most convenient location. Easily walkable into town, with a grocery store within walking distance, and beaches a short drive away (less than 5 minutes). The owners have been super thoughtful in providing amenities that make it feel like home and that are also super convenient -- like a pack-n-play on site. Can't say enough nice things about this rental property!

Ideal Location, Incredible Host, Charming House

We loved staying at this home. The location can't be beat - quiet neighborhood, one block from downtown and grocery store, less than one mile from the lighthouse and minutes drive from several beaches. The house is charming with much original character and really nicely decorated. The host is the most responsive I have experienced in all my years staying in Charlevoix. The house has many helpful "extras" like a hand-held vacuum, air mattress, yard games and pantry items. A wonderful week in Charlevoix with the most charming home.

Great Host, Location, and Amenities

Joe our host was responsive from the booking process through the end of our stay. Everything in the home is welcoming. Our party of 5 was comfortable. The location was wonderful. Just a short walk to town, beach, and many great restaurants. Everyone in town was very friendly and kind. 2 1/2 baths!! Master bath and a second 1/2 bathroom downstairs as well as one upstairs allowed all of us to get ready for a wedding effortlessly. Great water pressure and well stocked home with all the items you might need.

Easy distance to everything!

Everything was clean and well stocked. Joe is obviously used to working with families. Our weekend was clear and warm, so we were outside a lot. Downtown is literally within walking distance, great beaches for adult rock hunters and kids wanting to play in the sand. The absolute best, even though we didn't need it, there's pancake mix, oatmeal, Mac and cheese, all onsite, just in case there's a mealtime meltdown. Genius!
