About this property

The Dock House - Upper unit next to the City Marina

Great upper unit of this two unit house next to the City Marina where you can dock your boat and walk to the house. We are walking distance to the beach, harbor, the Badger and downtown. This listing is for the upstairs unit only. If you would like to rent the lower unit as well, it has a separate 2 bedroom 2 bath downstairs (listing 4813202) This cottage is a charming home with a small deck in the back. The stairs to the deck have been completely rebuilt as well as the bedroom floors. Some areas of the unit have sloped ceilings and could be an issue but not a hindrance for taller individuals. The cottage is fully furnished with a washer and dryer, cable TV, freezer in the basement, WIFI and a full kitchen with everything you need for cooking. If you don't want to cook, you are walking distance to the downtown area with some of the finest restaurants and bars. Take a walk along Pere Marquette lake or out to the lighthouse on Stearns Beach. So much to do and see just blocks away. With the Loomis boat launch just 2 blocks away, this is ideal for the fisherman in the group.

Someone needs a contractor

Great location for sure but to get what is asked per night someone needs to fix all the flooring where carpet exists and really upgrade the exterior steps/deck. It's obvious that an unskilled carpenter worked on it without using a tape measure. The screws weren't flush with the wood. The screen door needs replacement, the siding needs reapair and the condition of the grounds was messy. It's obvious that the owner is squeezing this lemon dry!

Great location

We loved the town and the apartment. We have lived in an attic apartment before so knew what to expect with the sloping ceilings. The only real challenge was for a man peeing standing up. The stairs look like they were recently rebuilt so they were fine. We enjoyed having coffee on the small deck. The location can’t be beat. Easy walk to beach and food.

Nice location

The property on the 2nd level has many outdoor steps to reach it. Although, it looked as if it had been mainly replaced, the railings were not sanded and both my husband and I had splinters in our hands from it. The property manager was responsive and when we complained about something, he fixed the problem and refunded one night stay.

This was not what was expected unfortunately especially for the cost. Communication came with directions for lower unit to get in, though we had rented upper, code didn't work for either with the directions provided and couldn't get hold of the host. Finally got into the lower, started to unpack then was told to move to the upper. Moved everything again. The upper did say slanted ceiling - WOW no one over 5 5 should stay there. It was awful for 6ft spouse, the floors were so uneven and in bedroom the worst. Bed was so bad we came home a day early. Best thing was the location, we got in many walks in by the water. The lower unit looked much nicer, not sure what the price difference was. Would not recommend the upper unit. If you aren't going to be available to answer calls as a host then have backup number for the person that is available to answer if there are issues is our recommendation.
