Great location

The Bayview is an amazing location! We took our paddle boards right off the car and walked across the street to paddle in a beautiful location. The house is comfortable and tastefully decorated. You should note the air conditioning is from window units in the bedrooms and living room not central air. It was not shown in the pictures. The property owner was responsive and helpful. We had a nice stay.

Perfect location

Location was great. Very central to everything. Walk into town without problem. Great shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Very close to many wineries. Cottage very clean and comfortable. Mattresses could stand to be switched. Found it concaving in the middle but not terrible to sleep on. Communication was prompt. Would highly recommend for anyone coming to the area. Will definitely plan on returning next time in the area.

Right in Town

Perfect location in Suttons Bay, walking trail right outside the door and marina/beach across the street. The cottage itself is a bit older but was very clean. The best part was being able the walk to everything! If visiting the area in the future, we’ll definitely stay there again!

Great Location Excellent Host

A simple but clean and comfortable cottage. The host is great. He responded to all messages promptly and followed up immediately. The beds are extremely comfortable and the furniture/layout worked well for our family of four. We appreciated the paper products, soap, cleaning supplies on hand. Plenty of nice thick bath towels and beach towels. The location is super convenient. Not secluded, right in the middle of things. Short walk to bike rental, shops, coffee, several restaurants. Town beach and bike path right outside your door. Fresh peaches for sale a few houses away and a great supermarket and excellent tennis/pickle ball courts 5 min by car. Plus all the area has to offer. Thank you.

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the property. The accommodations were just as advertised with everything that we needed plus more. Loved that we were so close to the places we wanted to visit including relaxing at the beach after a long day of site seeing. I would most definitely recommend this home and would love to come back.
