Very enjoyable stay. The owers are making improvements and updates as time permits; there is still an "Up North" feel. Location was great - just steps to the pier

We've been making updates for 22 years now, and we will continue to do so. This is why we have air conditioning, a second floor deck, and a new master bathroom--all of which were unheard of when our house was built in the heart of Frankfort. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, Brett. You are welcome back anytime!

Wonderful stay

We had a great stay at the Beach Breeze cottage in Frankfort. You can’t beat the location which is steps from Main Street and the beach. Communication leading up to the stay was easy and the cottage was exactly what we were expecting.

Excellent location and charming property

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Beach Breeze Cottage. We had plenty of room and loved the upstairs patio which we used for a group yoga session. The location is perfect and easy to walk to the beach and town. Kathy was an excellent communicator and easy to work with. We would highly recommend!

Easy Breezy!

Wonderful property, fantastic location, perfect host. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Loved all the thoughtful touches—such a cute place, super clean everything, great beds. It’s the whole package. Grateful for the hospitality! Oh, and the deck was the best part! We brought our own cafe-style lights (we always bring them!) and sat and caught up with friends and family from out of town. Loved it!

Overall Great Stay

The historic house proved perfect for our group with two young kids along with other visiting adults. Our family of 4 slept on the first floor unit, which could hold more if needed or if more adults were there. Our guests stayed in the upstairs unit, but the first floor hosted all the meals etc. The owners had many attention to details, such as preparation for nighttime electronic charging, night lights, and mirrors in the rooms for our ladies who valued them. We sat on the spacious porch each night and enjoyed very much. Location was a quick walk to the beach or town, and enjoyable for all.

You can’t beat the location! Super close to the beach and downtown. We had both parts of the house, which worked out so well for us, as we had a couple of people who were visiting from a later time zone, which allowed them to go to bed later and sleep in later than the majority of our group. We found the main kitchen to be very well-suited to our making our own meals. There were also fans in every room; ceiling fans, and well as smaller, oscillating fans. Bringing our own linens was tricky, as before checkout, we tried getting everything washed and dried before we left; and it meant bringing SO MUCH stuff with us. But I understand why they did it this way, and it worked out just fine. Kathy was super helpful and nice throughout our stay. We even locked ourselves out on the very first day, and she helped us get back in quickly. The house is pretty close to the neighbors, so if you have a rowdy or loud group (like 7 women who haven’t spent time together in many years), you’ll want to be mindful of moving everyone inside

Wow! Such a comprehensive review! Thank you, Sarah. I knew our house would work out for you and I guess it did! The separateness of the two upstairs bedrooms works well for family groups, but I had never considered it for a Time Warp. It can be its own little world up there while still including folks in the downstairs reunion. You ladies are welcome back anytime!

Delightful Home with all the extra touches

The house was lovely, immaculately clean, and so well appointed. Kathleen was extremely helpful as we had a last minute need to be in the Frankfort area. Our family appreciated the layout of the home as some needed to work remotely requiring privacy. The location of the neighborhood was relaxing and welcoming, This was an unexpected gem that we plan to return to soon. If you're fortunate enough to find availability at this outstanding property, grab that reservation!

Great location! Perfect space!

This property was perfect for our family vacation. My family of 4, my brother’s family of 5, and our 2 parents all loved it. We all had our own space and the house was equipped with everything we needed. We LOVED how short the walk was to the beach. We could hear the waves from the porch. We cooked out and ate dinner on the upper deck. From the house we went up to Pierce Stocking Drive and on our way home we did Mac Dune Rides. It was a perfect trip at a cute cottage home.
