Charming Historic Home Close to Downtown and Beach
Charming Historic House – 4 Bedrooms, 1.5 Baths, Sleeps 8. Sleeping Arrangements: Upstairs Bedroom; Queen, Upstairs Bedroom; Queen, Upstairs Bedroom; Queen, Upstairs Bedroom; Twin and Bunk
A wonderful craftsman-style Victorian era home with original woodwork throughout. There is a large dining room to cook for the whole family. This house has ample space in the backyard for outdoor games or to just sit back by the fire pit at night. Located in a quiet historic neighborhood, you will love to walk and admire the architecture or just relax in this beautiful home built around 100 years ago. Come and stay here and enjoy history while also having some good beach fun!
AMENITIES INCLUDE: DVD player, laundry, charcoal grill, fireplace, fantastic back yard with pergola and firepit, extra box fans. Cable service and wifi, with smart TV setup, is included.
The kitchen is fully stocked for everyday meal prep. Dishes, pots and pans, silverware, glass, etc. and a standard drip coffee maker is available for guest use. Additional kitchen items include blender, ice maker, toaster and microwave. Also included: bed linens, bath towels, basic cleaning supplies and soaps (not personal soaps), and a starter set of paper products.
LOCATION: The house is in the heart of Manistee across from a great playground at Trinity Luthern. Only 4 blocks from Downtown Manistee and about a mile from Lake Michigan beach. Family-friendly neighborhood! Great place to ride bikes or go on walks. Manistee is located about an hour south of Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes.
The Boardwalk Vacation Rentals Promise: To our guests, we promise a memorable and stress-free vacation. To deliver on this promise, we are committed to providing:
- Well-appointed and maintained rental properties
- Attentive responses to inquiries
- Exceptionally detailed cleaning
- Clear and proactive communication at appropriate intervals
- Properly stocked amenities
- Access to resources for enhancing the vacation experience
If we come up short with any of these, we strongly encourage you to contact us directly and we will make it right.
Check in time is after 4:00PM and check out time is before 10:00AM. Please note that we are not able to accommodate early arrivals or late departures from May – September. Any request for additional time will depend on availability of the rental and an additional fee may be added to the stay.
ARRIVAL: There is no formal check-in procedure. Arrival details are sent prior to your check-in date and will include the exact location of the property, parking and entry information. Guests will have a private, secure entrance and the rental is not shared by owners or other guests.
DEPARTURE: We do have a very short checklist we ask renters follow upon departure. It includes making sure the property is left tidy, furniture is in the same place you found it, everything is closed, locked and turned off, and the thermostat is set properly. These items will only take a couple of minutes but help staff immensely.
Please know that all rental policies and house rules are strictly enforced. This includes occupancy limits, age requirements, the ‘no parties’ and ‘no smoking’ clauses or any other rule posted online or within the rental. These are often defined by local ordinances, Homeowner’s Associations or other legal requirements and can result in fines or eviction if violated. We do not provide additional refunds for cancellations, late arrivals or early departures except as required in the posted cancellation policy.
For safety reasons, there may be external security cameras in use. Please contact us if there are any questions or concerns.
