Sunshine Shores worked perfectly for our stay. Great location, loved the yard for the dog and made good use of the Blackstone grill. We were also able to have a late check out which was very helpful.
The house is in a convenient location with a wonderful view of the lake. It is across the street from the lake and there is traffic, so you do have to be careful when crossing. The house was clean and there were many extras especially for activities like bikes and paddle boards.
There was not one thing we needed that Sunshine Shores didn't provide. Stand-up paddleboards, life jackets, beach chairs, bikes, a Blackstone grill with all the accessories and extra propane, fire pit, dog lead, every kitchen need with high end appliances, comfortable beds and nice towels and linens, A/C, and so much more. The host, Beth, provided immediate responses to the few questions I had.
We’ve experienced our fair share of horrible VRBO experiences, but this one really turned things around for us. This place was clean, well-appointed, and had everything you’d ever need for a trip to the beach, a picnic or a simple bbq at the house. They also provided bikes and a bike rack that came in very handy. It’s right across the street from the water and the views from the kitchen and front porch were amazing. The host really thought of everything and it was so refreshing to finally experience a nice VRBO stay. We will definitely be returning.
The house more than met our expectations. We were in town for a friends daughters wedding. We had other friends staying near by. They dropped off a few forgotten items. They were paying slightly less but super envious of our VRBO! Would highly recommend this home and this host.
One of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed in. The beach access was amazing. The property was very clean and well appointed. Proximity to Traverse City, hiking, and biking was perfect.
Everything was wonderful about this rental and was just as it was advertised. Myself, my brothers and parents went all loved it! We plan to go back we loved it that much.
