This was our third time staying at this property. Renovations made the home even nicer. We liked hanging out on the new front porch. Very comfortable for multiple families with two living areas. We love the sandy, shallow, clean beach that is very close for the little ones. We had everything we needed and the host was very responsive when we had questions. Highly recommend.

Great Location! Just Park and Walk!

Terrific location for a stay in Elk Rapids! Downtown Elk Rapids is just a few blocks away; the beach and the play area even closer. Just walk to everything! Lots of room in this home for a large family group.

Amazing location

Loved this adorable house walking distance to downtown Elk Rapids and a block from the beach. The house was perfect for our mixed group of adults and kids in TC for a softball tournament. Only downside was that there was only 1 shower. Other than that, it could not have been more perfect. Loved it and would definitely stay here again.

Amazing property and location

This is the perfect place for a family vacation. It was very short walking distance to the beach and town. My kids LOVED all the bikes And lawn toys in the garage. There were more than enough beds for our large family and the living areas were perfect. We also went to Petoskey and Traverse cities on the cooler days and the drive was nothing. In short, it’s the perfect house, in the perfect location, for beach days and exploring the best of the area. We hope to stay again!

Great location

Very nice home. Really clean and great location. Beach was a block away and had so much to do. Downtown was easy to walk to and had a lot of cool shops. The property manager was very responsive. The only thing we didn’t like was the late check-in. By the time you check in at 6 p.m. and unpack it is too late to do much.

Loved this house for our family. We had 5 adults ad three kids under 5. The extra refrigerator in the garage was an appreciated surprise for drinks! We also loved the wagon that fit two toddlers for heading to the beach an easy block away. We loved hanging out on the new front porch and deck. We also liked the new flooring- fresh carpet that cleans easily and vinyl wood-like flooring in bedrooms. Make sure to bring beach towels, but that isn’t a big deal. I truly hope the house is available next year.
