Great location in Sutton’s Bay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spacious place with a great location for walking around town and to the water. Park and playground for kids just a short walk out back. Beds comfortable. Window shades could use some updating, as they were a bit worn and didn’t always work well. Overall a great spot we’d rent again!

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.

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.

Short stay

Nice location close to town and beach. When renting this we did not realize there is unit above us, we thought we would have the place to ourselves. Also, the main street through Suttons Bay is busy with traffic almost non-stop, so you will have constant road noise.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the location and what it has to offer! I am sorry you were not aware that it was a lower level unit, we do mention this in the description of the home to try and let our guests know there is a unit above them. I am sorry the road noise was load for you, being on the main street it is a reality for this location. So happy you were still able to enjoyed your stay overall!
