The Space:

This Union Pier home is all about location! Located just a 5 minute walk to Miller Beach - sandy days on the shoreline are inevitable. In addition to the beach, there are numerous locally owned restaurants, bakeries, and shops within walking distance. Scenic spots like Galien River County Park, Warren Woods Forest Primevaland, and Chikaming Township Park & Preserve are all within four miles. Well-updated and comfortable, the interior of your home away from home features all of life's daily comforts. Sure to impress any chef, the kitchen presents stainless steel appliances and ample meal prep space. Full and content, gather with ease amongst the living room's soft seating and large smart TV. Throughout the rest of the home, you will find high-quality linens, mini split air-conditioner units, and the perfect mix of rustic/modern charm. A true focal point of the property is its fully enclosed backyard, ideal for afternoon hangouts and evening barbecues. Let the furry members of your family stretch their legs, but don't forget to pick up after them! Things to Know This property is managed by VueStay Vacations.

Great place!

Cute home with large living spaces, a huge back yard, and nice deck with a grill. Super close to the beach, and within easy walking distance to a couple of restaurants, an excellent cafe, a grocery store, and a bakery.

Found our gem, this location was perfect…short walk to the pristine beach, surrounded by beautiful homes and cozy cottages. Away from the busy popular places. Enjoyed hanging out in the backyard and having a wide open plan on the inside. Would stay here again!

Great house!

We loved this house. It was clean and plenty big enough for our family of 4. It’s just a 5 minute walk to the beach and a quick stroll to the Whistlestop coffee shop among other restaurants. The kids loved the big backyard. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Nice area but property needs maintenance

Property very much in need of maintenance on various items. It was a great location in a quaint neighborhood close to the beach. We loved the fire pit and the firewood that was provided.

Perfect Michigan getaway!

Our rental home was great! We were in Union Pier MI and quaint little town that was beautiful! The location of our property was a block away from 2 lovely beaches. The house was very clean cute and comfortable and had a great fenced in back yard for our boxer. I would definitely use Vrbo/Vacasa again. We had excellent communication with the host at all times.

Memories are made here!

‘Steps from the Beach’ house was our home for a week that we won’t ever forget! It was well decorated, with an updated, functional layout. Our kids (age 6, 9, &11) spent nearly every day at the beach, which truly is a 5 minute walk. Then we spent evenings playing cards, enjoying the fire pit, and actually ENJOYING each other! It’s like the home brought out the interaction with each other, screen-free! Would highly recommend ‘Steps from the Beach’
