We had a great stay - the lake views and location from the condo were even better than the pictures! Having the private beach access was a true bonus. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great week! The location couldn’t be more perfect. Not only we were we just steps away from private beach and snack shack, the walk to downtown was less than 10 minutes. The condo had everything we needed and was more than enough space for our family of four. We will definitely be back!
Host was great, views spectacular, condo clean and comfortable. I would like to rent again in the future. We spent New Years at the TasteLoved our walks along the lake. Highly recommend this VRBO
Property was great location, clean and excellent communication with host when we needed it.

The view and beach access is great. But for 800 a night I expected more - the carpet is a bit old and the carpet on the stairs was dirty. The furniture is scuffed up and in need of upgrades, the main bedroom ceiling shows water damage. The upstairs bath floor is old and squeaky. I have used VRBOs many times and this is the first time there wasn't even a bar of soap in the shower. Usually there is a small basket of toiletries for guests - and that was at a lower price point.Overall, it seems like the owners are relying on location and not doing the much needed upkeep and renovations for the price point they are asking.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful view and private beach access, which are features our guests consistently value.
We’d like to clarify a few points for future guests. The nightly rate for the condo is significantly less than $800; the total displayed through Vrbo can include taxes and platform/service fees that are outside of the owner’s control.
The condo is located in a 50-year-old building, and our listing is intended to accurately reflect that it is not a newly renovated property. We work hard to maintain the condo while preserving the character of the property and make updates and improvements as needed. For example, the couches were brand new this season and have received very positive feedback from guests. The carpets are also professionally deep-cleaned at the beginning and end of each season. With a busy summer beach property and the amount of sand and foot traffic it experiences, some normal wear can occur between cleanings.
Regarding the water damage mentioned in the master bedroom, we address maintenance and repairs as promptly as possible while also considering the impact that work can have on guests during a busy season with back-to-back reservations. Larger repairs that do not affect the functionality or safety of the home are often scheduled during the off-season so they can be completed thoroughly without disrupting guests’ stays.
Body wash, shampoo, and conditioner were also provided during your stay and were located under the bathroom sink. We intentionally store these items there to keep the shower area uncluttered and provide guests with additional space for their personal products.
We take guest feedback seriously and appreciate you bringing these items to our attention. We do wish we had been contacted during your stay, as we would have been happy to clarify the location of the amenities or address any concerns we were able to resolve during your visit. Our goal is always to provide a comfortable stay while continuing to maintain and improve the property.
The condo was great, as advertised. Perfect beach access and all the amenities. Host responded to us right away on any questions. My family will stay here again
We had a wonderful stay at this condo. We could see Lake Michigan from the two decks. The king bed was very comfortable. Lovely private beach and swimming pool. Looking forward to staying again soon. Thanks!
Steps from North Beach, a short walk to town, this condo is prime. Our family had a 10/10 vacation at this property. We loved the private beach and the pool was wonderful. Would absolutely come back.
Great location on the beach, great property, great owner who communicated well. My wife and I along with our 3 adult children had a great, relaxing vacation, watched wonderful sunsets every night and would definitely stay there again!

Thank you for the wonderful review Gus! We would love to host you and your family again in the future!
The location couldn't be more perfect! The upstairs balcony had a wonderful view. Wonderful and clean place. Our family is already talking about coming back again.
Very nice and clean. Host had excellent communication and suggestions for my trip that matched what I was looking for. I would absolutely stay again. (The 4 star is only because I am a bit ocd and some features were dated such as the tub and caulking and basement carpet. However the classic decor suited my nostalgia just fine. )
Our host was very attentive & accommodating. The condo was spacious with decent amenities. Would recommend this property to anyone especially families because of space & sleeping arrangements!
Beautiful location. A short walk to the pool and beach. The kitchen had everything you could think of incase you forgot something back home. The only reason why I gave it a four star instead of five is because after three days of our visit we changed the AC to auto. It was set at fan. It was so hot upstairs in the bedrooms. Once we changed it we were comfortable
