Great Vacation spot

It was wonderful being in a true beach house for our stay. The original and authentic aspect really added to the beachside, relaxing feel. The location is the best for beach access, sunsets, and overall lazy day relaxations. We loved it.

Awesome Owner, location and property with a wonderful wrap around porch

There were 6 of us Galโ€™s staying and we had a wonderful time. The house and accommodations were perfect and Karen the Owner is very nice and responsive. We spent a lot of time on the beautiful porch overlooking the lake and people watching. We cooked all meals and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. We are thinking about renting the house again next year. Patti Hilden

Lake House Stay

House is in a very old condition. Showers are really tiny, AC in master bed is not working well. Listing says 3 baths but only 2 full bathrooms, and one toilet in kitchen pantry area in a very tiny space. House location is fabulous, right on the lake with a big, covered porch area with nice breeze all the time. We really enjoyed the porch which has the beach view and nice seating. House has all the beach umbrellas and chairs etc.

Iโ€™m not certain what you mean by โ€œhouse is in a very old condition. My description of the property states that the house is a historic Victorian home. My family and I stayed in the house for several days during 90+ degree days and felt the AC in the master BR was fine, as did previous guests. Also, the description of the property on VRBO states there are 2 and a quarter bathrooms, not 3 full baths. Glad you enjoyed the verandah and the views, at any rate.๐Ÿ˜‹

Great location! Honest Review Ahead!!

There's not enough space for me to write a full review my original review was over the limit. The owner is nice but I found the house to be overwhelming. There's notes, clutter, and the house is just not well maintained. For example, there's mold around the sinks, rotting deck boards, weeds all over, layers of dust and piles of sand under the couch. Our first night was a 99 degree day, it was very hot in the house even with all the ACs going, we ended up driving home the first night. There's no AC in the bottom bedroom- only fans. The 3rd bathroom is literally just a toliet with a note that says not to use toliet paper, maybe 4 square feet. There's notes everywhere, don't do this don't do that. When you check out there's quite the list including; taking out the trash, recycle, wiping down the fridge, washing, drying, and putting away all towels to name a few. This should be in the listing or emailed out before arrival. I would have done things differently. I know this wasn't followed upon our arrival, there was trash, recycle, stuff in the freezer, not a wiped down counter and there was random pieces of trash throughout the house. Plus the cleaner was about 40 minutes late and folding towels. If you're looking for a budget friendly house, this is a good option, but be prepared. In hindsight, I wish I would have brought all my own towels and linens but I would not rent here again. Hell of a view though!

Dear Jennifer: I am sorry you found the rules of the house SO oppressive. In the 25 years I have rented this house, people adore it and return again and again. They have never complained about the โ€œrules.โ€ They have stated, โ€œplease donโ€™t ever sell this house!โ€, and โ€œ25 years of wonderful memories,โ€ and โ€œits our โ€˜home away from homeโ€™ โ€, etc. I take issue with you on a number of things: My housekeeper is a professional who works part time for me and part time for the Hilton in Holland. As such, she is a very thorough cleaner and I have had only praise for her work. She stated there was nothing left in the freezer, and that there is no mold in the house. As I am literally right on the beach, it is nearly impossible for the housekeeper to remove the sand all of the time as it is tracked in faster than it can removed. I agree that it was an incredibly hot day the day that you arrived, but it was that way only the one day, and if you open the windows at night, the Lake breezes impart a cool breeze and really cool down the house. Also, the landscaping does need attending and it is something I am budgeting for next year. I sincerely hope you find what youโ€™re looking for in the future but be prepared to pay at least twice of what you paid for here. Thank you for your review.

Lucky

Quick weekend.bday trip. Very windy in Southaven this weekend with cooler Temps upper 50s maybe lower at night. Brought flannel sheets and thicker comforter along with our own plug in oscillating heater. Glad we did! However Karen had some extra heaters there. We did use while sitting in the front living room looking out window enjoying the fantastic view while sipping cocktails! Sleeping was great. Was nice to have cooler air Temps for sleeping. Drove into town enjoyed breakfast and a nice dinner at Maria's..yum! And of course a little shopping for a souvenir. Got some awesome pictures and sunsets this weekend. Canvas worthy. Older cozy home bringing you back in time with that porch and some of the older cottages on the North side. Left you imagining what those "old glory days" must have been like and appreciating the fact that we were one of the ones getting to experience this magnificent view from dear 'ol Lady Serena! God Bless.

Very unique property

Beautiful home with lots of interesting decor. We had a very nice long weekend at the Lady Serena! It was very warm and humid for the beginning of October and the room a/c's were already removed, so the upstairs was hot. Has to move a few of the knicknacks that the two year old thought were toys! The littles loved being right across the street from the awesome playground! Spent a lot of time on the huge porch overlooking North Beach--the view was gorgeous. We watched a storm come across the lake. Left a little early as we had the house cleaned up and it was pouring and didn't want the littles to mess anything up. Thanks for a great weekend Karen!

Relaxing with a view.

The wrap around porch facing Lake Michigan is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view. A nice breeze off of the lake made the hot days tolerable. The house is over 100 years old, which gives you a feel for vacationing during the early 1900s. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great Location

The plan was for a great weekend for us (the grandparents), our children and grandchildren. Unfortunately we (the grandparents) were not able to go at the last minute. That didn't keep the kids (all of them) from having a great time at a great location -- right on the beach, close to a playground and close to an ice cream stand. What more could kids ask for, no matter the age.

A local gem!

This house is gorgeous and a prime location! We had 4 adults and 4 children. There was plenty of room for all. Everything was very clean. We loved all the charming decorations that really helped to tell the history of the house. The location was phenomenal and the kids had an amazing time at the beach. Karen, the owner, was very responsive and easy to work with. She communicated all information on the house very clearly via text. She also was very responsive to any questions I had while staying there. We truly hope we can find availability again because this property was amazing!!

The location Of this property is amazing. Steps to the beach. The property manager (Karen) was very responsive and check in/check out was a breeze. The only issue was the cleanliness of the property. Although the house was tidy I feel it could use a deep clean. We traveled with small children and there are a lot of Knick knacks throughout the house so that was a challenge. Overall we did enjoy our stay.

Beautiful View

The sunset from this house was incredible. We were looking to get away, but also keep working/going to school remotely. The WIFI is excellent and the beach is your breakroom. The porch had very nice views. The house is charming and is very affordable compared to the cost to rent other homes nearby. It could use some repairs, but it still was suitable. The kitchen could use a thorough deep clean, as it was the end of the season.
