Wow - can I just stay here forever? This space was perfect for our short three nights and this morning’s bed view sunrise was spectacular. If you’re looking for a simple place on the beach and in the heart of town, this is it. Nothing fancy - yet absolutely perfect. Thank you!

Great location, was able to park the car and not use it until we left. Gulls start vocalizing early, so get up and out and enjoy yourself.

Rental is in such a great location! Rental process was smooth. May want to mention that it is located in the same building as the realty office to make it easier to locate. Unit was clean and the view of the lake/beach is awesome!! It's too bad there is not more of a kitchen in the rental, even if it was just a small apartment fridge, sink and a cooktop...or a larger fridge in the unit and a grill that the two units could use. It's location is located right in the downtown/harbor area, so it's easy to walk to everything. Perfect for the Fisherman's Picnic. We will stay here again!!

Arrived in the first week in May. The season was barely starting and many businesses were closed or operating at reduced hours. Still it is beautiful and if quiet is what your after. What could be better than a private beach. Loved watching the sun rise over the water. Short walks to the bakery for morning coffee and breakfast at the diner next door. More shops would be open in late May but more people as well. This place suited me quite well. I recommend it.

Great location

We stay here every time we come to Grand Marais. It’s a perfect spot on the water and right in town so you can walk everywhere. A good place to head out on the paddleboard, have an evening fire, quick walk to shops and restaurants.

This is our 4th time staying here and after having come at least once a year, often twice - in the summer and winter - for over 30 years, this is our favority place to stay. It is "our" little home right on the beach and right in town.

Great little getaway

This was the perfect little spot to stay for my Grand Marais solo-cation. The location and view can’t be beat! It’s definitely a bare-bones stay, but that’s all I really needed for this trip. I’d definitely stay here again!
