The porch, the fire pit, the view and obviously the beach made it an amazing 2 weeks. Our only issue was the oven; it is very hot to the touch when cooking and heats the whole kitchen so it’s very uncomfortable to be in there. It’s a very very basic model.

Fun long weekend

We really enjoyed the property. Even though the house is dated, there are a lot of little perks: beautiful view, extra drinking water, coffee, snacks, and clean white linens. The walk to the beach is a little more strenuous than expected. I would visit here again!

Great Lake Getaway

Hope to stay again next year. The view is great. The house is great. The dune is a tough march for small kids but the beach access was as good as I could hope for.

Location Can’t Be Beat

Gorgeous view of Lake Michigan from the comfort of the enclosed porch and easy access to the beach. The house was roomy and comfortable with plenty of room for 5 adults and a toddler to spread out. A quick drive to several good restaurants and the outlet mall. We cooked a meal in the fully equipped kitchen, too. A+++++ experience.

Fantastic home and location!

The location is incredible with amazing views. We spent most of the time in the wonderful sunroom with huge view of the lake. The house is lovely with really thoughtful touches for anyone's needs. My husband and I with our 2 dogs had a great time. Easy access to the beach and quiet residential neighborhood. Perfect!

Awesome Dune Hideaway

Great views and excellent beaches. We enjoyed relaxing by the beach and sitting on the porch reading and relaxing on rainy days. It was nice and cozy for my partner and I and our dog. It would also be a great place for more people. The hosts thought of every little thing that might be needed. We will definitely be back and highly recommend.

A cottage full of charm with an amazing view

The view from the very comfortable front porch offered a spectacular view of an unfolding sunset one night and a building storm rolling in another night. The cottage was well equipped and immaculate. It’s the kind of coziness that bids you to stay longer.

Absolutely Fabulous

My 3 grown children and I stayed here for one week. We absolutely loved it the entire time. The views were spectacular and the lake breeze coming in fabulous. We enjoyed our daily walks to the beach. The only thing I wish was different about our vacation here was - I wish I could have rented it for two straight weeks. I highly recommend staying here!!
