Perfect for Families
This lovely, comfortable, large house is perfect for family get togethers. All three generations of our family loved the house and all its amenities, including the large screened in porch and the flow of the first floor. The pretty beach is a short walk, perfect for sunset visits. The area is peaceful and friendly. Trish and her sisters were responsive and gracious. My grandchildren voted it the "best trip ever"--high praise for such well traveled kids! We shall return for sure.

Peaceful retreat close to everything
This house is perfect for a quiet family gathering. A couple of blocks to a very nice beach, plenty to do in the nearby area. The house was very clean, and the very private screened in deck was pretty much where we hung out. The deck was so peaceful in the evening. The bedrooms were sizable and beds VERY comfy - we all slept soundly. The house exudes charm everywhere. The hosts are very welcoming, and communicate very well. They also provide a lot of extras; games, beach equipment, etc. We would definitely rent this home again. Thanks to the hosts for a very nice stay!!

Perfect for extended family get-together
We had a really wonderful time at this house. There was tons of space, games, puzzles, lots of things to use down at the beach, bikes, and a great backyard. The location is excellent, near the beach, near a playground and the creek/nature trail. And communication with the owners was good. I hope we can stay there again in the future. Thank you!

5 minute walk to stop38 and panoramic views of Lake Michigan and beach
My family of 8 adults and 2 grandchildren stayed at this lovely home! So many places to spread out on the main floor! We loved the large screened porch with ample seating! The 5 minute walk to stop 38 beach was enjoyed by all! The 6 bedrooms were comfortable and clean. A basement washer and dryer and extra refrigerator are so helpful! We enjoyed every minute at this home and will rent again!

Large Roomy Historic home. With a short walk to the beach.
Very nice. Needed a deep cleaning and some attention to the yard. Twin beds needed new mattresses.
