Excellent location to beach, shops, restaurants. Super clean. Adequate kitchenette. Bonus: water view. We brought beach chairs and so enjoyed morning coffe al fresco.
The studio was nice, clean, comfortable and quiet. There is designated parking for the unit, and the location is excellent, just a short walk to restaurants, shops, marinas and the beach. I enjoyed eating dinner a block or two from the studio, and walking to the beach for a sunset over Lake Michigan. I would definitely stay there again!
We wouldn’t change a thing! We loved the location. Very clean and comfortable. Much better than a hotel room at the same price. The mini kitchen was perfect for chilling wine, morning coffee and heating up leftovers. We are already planning our return next summer. Thank you.
Will definitely stay here again. Very quite,clean comfortable place to stay. Within walking distance to everything. Bed was so comfortable as were the sitting chairs to watch TV. Only thing I wished for was some cream and sugar for the coffee.
My twin sister and my 6# dog, Eddi, had an absolutely lovely stay. Everything was so clean and comfortable and we loved the downtown atmosphere. The marina was a great place to hike Eddi and the beach was a beautiful walk. Our older sister would have loved to been there with us but she had hip surgery scheduled so was not able to make it. Although, if the upstairs apartment is available for us three, we certainly would be interested. Thank you so much for making our vacation a great memory!
Great studio apartment in the heart of downtown Frankfort, next to Crescent Bakery. Stayed over 4th of July, having the convenience of private parking and being able to walk to everything was wonderful. Studio was very clean and well equipped, seems to be recently renovated and provided more than enough space for my spouse and I during our stay. Property manager is very responsive, don’t hesitate to book this property! Looking forward to staying here again on our next trip.
This studio is in a great location just of Main st. Easy walk to bakery,coffee shops, restaurants etc. Very clean with a kitchenette behind closet doors. Lake Michigan sunsets are just a stroll down the street. Parking is very convenient . Highly recommend.
I ended up leaving after one night. I could not get in . i called the host and left a message and texted him and did not receive an answer over several hours. I was finally able to get in and then discovered an infestation of spiders. When I turned the lights off, a strong light entered from outside creating a bright streak across the ceiling through a high uncurtained window. I left the next morning because I was not going to spend my day trying to communicate with an unresponsive host and possibly spending another uncomfortable night. I'm trying to upload a picture of one of the spiders but it's not working. I set a complete description of the problems to the host and also to VRBO support. I think I deserve at least a partial refund for having my vacation ruined. I go to Frankfort every year and it is virtually impossible to finda place of any kind last minute. I chose to drive home.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 August 2025
I’m sorry you chose to leave a review filled with inaccuracies. I gave you my cell number before you arrived so I would be available to respond to any needs because you shared that you struggled with technology and were unable to figure out how to use the VRBO app.
I offered to meet you when you arrived and help you move your dog kennel into the studio. You wanted to be independent and declined. Based on our prior conversations, I was concerned, so I left the door unlocked and remained in the building until I saw you safely enter the unit. You also sent me a text message telling me you had safely arrived and were settled in.
The following morning I received your text saying that a spider had constructed a web across the door in the night and that the transom window above the door was allowing too much light in and had disturbed your sleep.
As the studio is located very close to the waterfront, spiders are in the vicinity. We spray, but unfortunately they occasionally still build webs by the door during the night.
I arrived at the studio with window tint film and spider spray two hours after receiving your message and you were gone. When I reached out, you texted that you were already back home.
As a host I will attempt to solve any problem a guest has. Unfortunately you did not allow me to solve your easily correctable concerns and for that I am sorry.

Misleading pictures.
We were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. We found this studio which was fine because it appeared to have a deck, grill and marina view. Site had 12 pictures. 2 of the pictures showed a marina in rear of property and a wood deck with a grill. Those 2 pics were from the 2 bdrm “luxury “ property above our studio. I called the contact person and she stated, “ no one else has complained of the pics” , then offered to allow us to walk outside, go through another locked door and up the stairs to the deck. Silly offer. We thought we rented a property that had the marina view with a deck and a grill, we got mislead. When I stated the mislead part, she said she couldn’t help us if that’s the way we felt. She stated we were looking at the 2 bdrm property description. Not true. We never saw a 2 bdrm luxury listing for $700 nor would we look at it. She handled this issue totally wrong.
