Family Beach vacation

This was the best stocked VRBO that I have rented. The host left us coffee, tea, spices, condiments, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish soap, and many supplies. There were bikes, beach towels, beach chairs, games, and many nice touches.

Family trip for wedding weekend

We had a wonderful two night stay for a friend’s wedding. We liked that the house has two distinct living spaces, so my husband, son and I had our own space and my mom had her own space. Very clean and peaceful.

Great location

Cool place that was perfect for my family’s stay. Lots of room. Close to attractions but tucked away for a nice, peaceful stay and some pretty nature. Some added attention to detail in cleaning and carpentry finishes would go a long way and take this from 3 to closer to 5 stars.

Great MDW Weekend

We had a great weekend in Union Pier for Memorial Day weekend! The house was perfect for 7 people and was in a great location. The bonfire pit was set up for us to use, there were extra beach towels for us, and beach chairs if we wanted to use them. The only thing I would point out is that the beds were a bit uncomfortable and there was hair in the shower that hadn’t been cleaned up. But overall, I would highly recommend staying here for a group getaway weekend!
