Beautiful location on the beach

We had a great stay at this property. The photos don’t do it justice, it’s actually much nicer than the photos make it seem! It was very clean, we had everything that we needed for a pleasant stay. The view is extraordinary, the home was very comfortable, and we would definitely stay here again.

Cute little cottage, fun weekend

We stayed for two nights with our two kids (8&10). The house setup is odd, but is exactly like in pictures and the listing. Had fun adventuring around the area and doing some rock hunting on the beach! Everything was clean. Great communication.

Great Apt. In An Ideal Location For The Eastern U.P.

I stayed a week with my dog. I liked that the place promoted dogs and their having a fun time. The apartment had the things we needed. I brought the food for the week so there was no real reason to go grocery store, or leave at all if I did not want to. The place seems remote, and it is, but in a good way. We had access to the Eastern U.P. while here. We were able to day trip around the region all over. Lots of things to do and see for everyone. But some of the best days were best spent walking the rock beach, while thinking of what dinner will be. There were lots of rocks and agates and yooperlites, etc. You might see the Northern Lights, a dramatic lake storm, or a sunset. There is a great fire pit at the beach all set up. Overall, it was a lovely time.

Northern lights, agate beach, yooperlites

We had a fantastic time! Being right on the shore, we saw the northern lights the first night there. Walked the beach several times and found some beautiful agates. Last night we were there, we looked for yooperlites and found 3!! Highly recommend!!

The property was beautiful and the beach one of the best we've been to. The house was okay, but the dishes in the cupboard were dirty. There were coffee dregs in the bottom of the cups. It looked like the previous occupants took it seriously that "all the dishes should be put away," but forgot to wash them. My husband forgot to check the house one last time and left a laundry basket with items we meant to take home, including food we planned to use at home a stainless Allclad pot and an irreplaceable knife that was a gift from my familly. We live 650 miles away. We apologized for the trouble and asked if she would mind shipping a couple of items. We told her that we would send her fifty dollars for her trouble plus shipping. Elyse agreed, but spent the next month and a half telling us how lucky we were that she didn't throw them away, that we were harassing her, that she didn't want our old stained pots and pans (never thought she was even thinking that way). Finally after a few more insulting messages and my message to her that she could forget it, Elyse sent a note that gave what it had cost her to mail the package with a few more insults thrown in. This host was unkind and rageful about a request that she could have turned down. We have traveled a lot and stayed at VRBO rentals frequently. The hosts have invariably been kind and helpful. Elyse was totally in contrast to every other VRBO host. Frankly we were shocked by her level of animosity!

A hidden gem

We had an incredible stay at this cabin on Lake Superior! The cabin had everything we needed and so much more. It was well-stocked with all the essentials and many thoughtful extras and it was so clean! The location was perfect—a short walk to the private beach, where we enjoyed breathtaking sunrises each morning. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, it provided a peaceful retreat while still being within a driveable distance to many attractions. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene getaway with the comforts of home!

Perfect little getaway

We loved our time at captains! The beach house was exactly as listed! It was perfect for our family. We love camping but didn’t have as much time for set/up year down and wanted to make the most of our time so we chose a small cottage to rent. The views here are incredible. We drove to picture rocks kayaking for their morning tour one day and went to Tahquamenon falls and MI dogs. I would recommend any of the captains properties. They are well kept and stocked with everything we needed. Looking forward to coming back. Hosts are awesome as well!

Amazing!!

What a special place right on the shore of Lake Superior! This is our 3rd time at Captain’s properties, 1st time in the Beach House. This one is not as fancy as the others but we didn’t need the bigger cabins as it was just the 2 of us. Elyse and Chris are very responsive to any needs. We brought our kayaks but the weather was a bit chilly (which meant no black flies). Hiked the Nature conservatory and pizza at Pine Stump. Found my 1st Yooper lite.

Great location, beautiful sunrises and sunsets

My wife and I booked this property for 3 nights to celebrate our anniversary. We love being outdoors and this was perfect for our trip! It was a great base-camp for our rockhunting adventure. We found a bucket full of rocks just strolling the beach and watching the freighters go by in the distance. We enjoyed having the grill outside for cooking and the picnic table overlooking Lake Superior was great for catching a sunset while we ate. Communication was great with the owner. She answered all our questions before and during our stay. Pro Tip: On the main road heading back towards Lake Muskellonge look for a vintage airstream type camper. It's called the The UglyFish Bakery Co. We stopped there in the morning for fresh coffee and pastries before heading out on our adventures. We recommend!

The property was ideally situated right on the beach. We walked down steps and loved having a campfire on the beach most nights, with firewood provided. Lake Superior was gorgeous with clear water. We'd come back every summer if it were a little closer for us. It was a highlight of our summer.

Everything we needed. Layout was a little weird, but workable. Access to beach at property was extremely hazardous. Anyone not mobile and physically fit would not be able to use property stairs. There was good access at end of road, which guests should be made aware of.
