Very good

The location was amazing! We were in awe of the views and sunsets and beach fires and the private beach and the neighbors were so nice! It was amazing. However there was no screens on some windows and when we first got in, the amount of flys and fruit flys was extreme. It made diffcult to cook in peace and enjoy a meal at the dining table bc of the flys and nats. But the outdoors and the beach and chairs and decks and grills, great. We had a great time,even with the bugs! The Host was so nice and let us come early free of charge. We 100% plan on coming again.

About the host
Hosted by Michael
Our parents had this home built in 1978. We have used it as our summer home since then. Recent major improvements have been a new metal roof, new luxury vinyl tile flooring on the entire main level, and new furnace that provides both cooling and heating. I am a retired kitchen remodeling contractor. I installed a new kitchen in 2021, new bathroom in 2022, and other interior upgrades in 2021 - 2023. I made the round coffee table, two side tables, and two ottoman benches, to complement the new living room furniture we purchased in 2023.
Why they chose this property
My wife has been coming to Driftwood beach on Lake Michigan since she was six years old. It is quiet and peaceful in our Driftwood Association. We are fortunate to have a wide and sandy beach, perfect for wading and swimming.
What makes this property unique
A combination of great location, sandy beaches, privacy, almost no noise, spectacular sunsets, soothing Lake Michigan waters, and all the interior conveniences and comforts of a brand new home.
