Cute house and great location

We had such a nice stay in Pentwater. The house had everything we needed (plenty of towels, blankets, fans, etc) and was perfectly located within walking distance to town and the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we are in Pentwater again. Thanks!!!

Beautiful view, perfect location

This was my second time staying here and my friends and I had another wonderful girls weekend. The house is well equipped and comfortable. On the edge of downtown, it's an easy walk to eat and shop. I left my phone behind and the hosts went over and above to send it to me. I would definitely come back.

Love Pentwater

We had a great stay and the house was very spacious and accommodating. It was clean and had everything we needed, even when it dipped into the 40's!! My grandchildren had so much fun fishing off Long Bridge and visiting the beach. But too cold to swim!

Great for ladies trip

This place was even better than we had hoped! It had everything we needed for a group of 7. The location is perfect, with the marina across the street and we were able to easily walk downtown for shopping and meals. Great little market right down the block. It was clean and had comfy beds. As one of our ladies pointed out when we arrived "Wow we have a lanai just like the Golden Girls!" These golden girls had a great time.

Family vacation

Loved the location and layout of home . We had a few issues that owners fixed immediately which was great. Luckily the weather was cooler we thought it had central air but only one room had air. Hoping to rent again next July

Pentwater Fun

We had a great time renting Marina View. We picked it because we had brought 3 boats up to Snug Harbor Marina and found this place directly across the street from the marina. Place had plenty of space and was clean. Only downside was the AC is not throughout the whole place at this point. We had great cool lake breezes at night though. Fun place to stay if you are going to pentwater! Thanks!!

Thank you for your review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We have added two large portable air conditioning units that should keep the house cool on the few days where the cool lake breezes just aren't quite enough!

Air Conditioning

Although the view and location are exceptional the marina rental lacks air conditioning. There is one small wall unit in one of the bedrooms. We were there Labor Day weekend , it was so hot and humid with no relief in the rental, so yes, it was a deal breaker. I will say it was very clean and organized. Thee owner was very quick to respond. It shouldn't say air conditioning on the list of amenities.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 May 2023
Thank you for your feedback. There are generally very few weeks in the summer where air conditioning is needed with the lake breeze. We value our guests' comfort so we have added 2 portable air conditioning units to the house.
