We had a great time at this property. We appreciated the little touches like hangers in the closets and laundry baskets in the laundry room. It was great having the pool so close by. The kids went swimming about every day. Our grandkids are already asking when can they go back? The bunk room on the first floor was also a big hit with the grandkids.

Great communication with our host. Wonderful house in a nice neighborhood that easily accommodated 11 of us. The walk to the beach was a little longer than expected — at least a 1/2 mile and a steep hill (or 71 stairs) to reach the sand. But our grandchildren (and some of the adults) loved riding their bikes to it while the rest took all the beach gear in the truck and paid 50 to park for the week. This was our first time at a MI beach. We had a great time and hope to go back again next year!
