Very nice property that's close to a beautiful beach. The house was great for our needs. only minor quibbles were the drip coffee machine didn't work and the top shelf of the dishwasher was loose. The very convenient grocery store had pods for the Keurig coffee machine so the adults survived the mornings even without a drip coffee machine. The younger family members liked the toys at the house. The beach chairs provided by the host were appreciated by all our family members. Our 5 days at Grand Bend Beach staying at this house were very enjoyable.

Overall great house! Location was perfect for us- quiet and secluded. Not to far from beach. Host was awesome, even texted us to check in on us- and communication was amazing! My sisters family was upstairs and they said everything was great showers were nice and hot- beds were comfortable. My parents were on main floor they were good (just the toilet was a little wonky, but still worked). My husband and I were in basement with our son in the 2nd room in basement. The down side was there were crickets under basement stairs the 1st two nights (the 3rd night they were not making any noise and got a good nights rest). Our host said he would have it looked at and possibly sprayed). Overall would recommend!
