Family time

Friday morning while setting in the living room a young man showed up driving a dark colored car walked up sees my car looks in window sees a 12year old girl setting on the couch and without knocking proceeded to unlock the door and tried to enter. I stopped him but he kept saying he was there to check the plumbing. This is not acceptable. He had the codes and could enter at any time. I won't be staying again

Great Location

Property was in a perfect location. 5 Blocks from downtown; 3 blocks to Van Buren Street Overlook/Beach on Lake Michigan. Beautiful sunsets and lots of dining/bars/shops in town. Nice links golf course within 10 minutes. Property management was responsive via text regarding request for maintenance. Furniture was dirty and Fridge needed cleaning from previous guests who left food behind. Going up/down the stairs you had to duck down.

Good for families, walkable to downtown

Great location to kids corner and south beach. Inside was clean; but wish the back yard and patio were in better shape. Patio needs power washed along with furniture. Spiders and webs around all entrances. Just need to vacuum those guys up. Would we stay there again? Yes!

Great location and house

We stayed here with our 4 children (ages 2-7), and it was great! It was in a great location walkable to the beach or downtown and just blocks from Kids Corner (which unfortunately was getting revamped during our stay). The house was clean and had everything that we would need. We greatly enjoyed our stay!
