Perfect location

This home has a nostalgic "Up North" feel about it. It was spacious with plenty of areas for our family to gather but also to escape. We loved the "nooks and crannies." The bench platform overlooking the dunes and Lake Michigan was a perfect spot for relaxing and watching the sun set after a day on the beach, which was just a few minutes' walk away. Everyone loved it. Onekama is a rather sleepy little town with a small grocery, ice cream shop, and thrift shops. A sweet place. The property manager was very kind and responsive. Thank you!

Great Location!

We enjoyed our time! The deck is awesome and the view of Lake Michigan in the back is amazing. We trailored our boat up and conveniently rented a boat slip at Portage Point Resort so were able to uses both lakes. We also were at the beach every day. The house is set with the basics and we were so glad to be able to bring our dog!

Best week of the year!

My family has been coming to Onekama for years and years. We have rented many homes in the area. This house is now one of our favorites! There is plenty of room for a large family! The home was very clean upon check in. Our first night it was incredibly hot and humid. Thank goodness for fans!! The property manager was simply amazing to work with! We will definitely stay here again!
