This was not our first time renting this cottage. Unfortunately, this stay wasn’t as nice as in previous years. It was clean when we arrived, but smelled very stuffy, like it had been closed up for quite some time. The pillows on the couch had a musty smell that was very noticeable and unsettling.

Green Shutter stay

Very well kept, craftsman home. Very good layout, great eat in kitchen. Right on the Main Street, restaurants right next door and directly across the street. The beach was viewable from the back yard. Short walking distance to the bay. Lots of unique shopping opportunities in the next block. Would definitely stay here again.

Fun and relaxing

The location of the house was perfect for walking to shops and restaurants and the beach. The rental shop was close too and we wheeled our kayaks and paddle boards to the beach. It was clean and quiet. We hit the road twice to climb the dunes too. Just a great place. We will be back!

Nice location on the edge of downtown Suttons Bay

We love staying in Suttons Bay, as everything is walkable. This house was at the north end of the city, but still walkable to restaurants. There were 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. There was a restaurant right next door and you could hear people talking and their music, while it was open. But luckily, it closed at 8:00 pm. My husband and I stayed in the front bedroom and you could hear the traffic in the morning. Other than that, the kitchen and living room were roomy and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking.
