Great House in a Great Location
We enjoyed our stay and found the house to be clean and comfortable, and really liked being able to walk a few blocks to the main street in Sutton's Bay. Would definitely rent again!

Great location and charming house
This location and house was perfect for our wine weekend trip with 6 friends. The wineries were a close drive, and being in downtown Suttons Bay was great to be able to walk to restaurants, shops and the water.

This house was perfect for our group of 4 adults. Well appointed kitchen, two sitting areas, and a nice dining area. Outside sitting area was nice as well. The location was extremely convenient. We would definitely stay here again.

Our family loved it and will be returning next year. It was within walking distance of downtown and the beach. The AC window units worked great keeping us cool. The layout was wonderful for a larger family. The kitchen had everything we needed. Added bonus was the washer and dryer. We were able to relax and enjoy what Suttons Bay had to offer. Thank you!

You are welcome Tammy and we are happy everything worked out so well for you. Next summer will be here before you know it and we look forward to seeing you then. Thanks so much for staying with us.
We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The location was perfect, easy parking right outside and just a short walk to downtown, which made everything super convenient. The house itself was cozy and comfortable and had a great layout, especially for a bachelorette weekend. The beds were comfortable, the showers were nice, and the AC units and fans kept the temperature just right. There is a nice laundry/storage room off the kitchen that was not photographed that was a great surprise. Overall, a great space and we’d definitely recommend it to others and would stay again!

How fabulous that your bachelorette weekend went so well and you enjoyed the house and location. We are happy we could host you in our home and thank you for being our guest.
The interior of the house was freshly redone. It had everything we needed and lots of room. Great patio for morning coffee and yoga. One block to town, which was great. The only drawback was the small upstairs bedroom.It was quite warm and stuffy as there was no a/c. Overall, though, great place!

From the owner: "Thank you for being our guest. We have added additional fans for that room but are unable to add an ac unit. On cool evenings it is great to open the window as this area is a safe and quiet place to do that."
The location of this property is excellent! Sutton's Bay main street is 2 blocks away, the beach is about 4 - it was easy to cross the main road even in busy times, drivers were very considerate of cross walks. It is a short drive to Leland and the Dunes. One of our party made the short walk (every morning) to Hive Coffee, but I enjoyed being able to make my coffee and just sit on the front porch. The house itself stayed relatively cool during the last heat wave. Although the property doesn't have CA, there were plenty of fans and window air conditioners. We appreciated the stocked kitchen, paper products and games. The hosts were quick to respond to a couple of questions we had. I would definitely come back to this property!

From the Owner: "Sounds like you got to 'live like a local' for a few days. Isn’t it best to relax on the porch or just walk to where you need to go? We appreciate that you enjoyed our home and our little town. Please come and visit us again. Thanks so much for staying with us."
