REVIEWS "This is an amazing property. It's a perfect location for a big family, multiple families, or a few friends joining together. The kids bunk room is fabulous and can sleep so many that we were all very comfortable. The kitchen is huge and there are a lot of seating areas that even with a big group you don't feel like you're on top of each other. The view is fabulous and the private beach access is awesome. The kids spend hours there daily and it was so nice that they could just walk to it while some adults could stay back in the house to relax. I love that it is at the end of a cul-de-sac so it's very quiet and safe for kids to be outside. It is also barely 10-15 minutes to the town and we loved popping by there for coffee, meals, shopping. The town is adorable and so quaint. It was our first time in the area and we loved how family friendly it was." Sarah F.
"The property was a perfect choice for our annual reunion. The house itself is very lovely and large but also is very quality. We also loved the location. The house is located on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Our group of ladies enjoyed a day of shopping and exploring in both Saugatuck and Holland. Truly a perfect choice for our group of seven women to meet and enjoy time together." Heidi W.

Very comfortable stay for 7 adults and 4 children in the week of Thanksgiving. Wonderful location overlooking the beach and lake. Ample space for everyone for work, play, meals. Winter walk on the beach a plus. Would definitely return.
This home is in a perfect location if you are looking for time on the beach or the fantastic view of a quiet sunset. Very very clean, well equipped (inside and out). Outside firepit was a hit every night. Plenty of space for multiple families.
First time vacation in Michigan - couldn't have been better!!
We (Missourians) met our Michigan friends at the house and were so very impressed! The house was beautiful and accommodated all of us (even our two babies). The beach was perfect for our little ones first trip. The sunsets were awesome and we had great meals and enjoyed fun around the firepit. Everyone said it was the best trip ever!!!
Beautiful home nestled on a picturesque street, my family enjoyed this vacation home to the fullest.

It's especially wonderful to know that you chose Moondance as your home base for your cherished annual Michigan vacation! We appreciate your feedback and look forward to hosting your family for more memorable vacations in the future, Vicki.
We were beyond excited for our two-family getaway and were blown away by the incredible property. The house fit both my husbands and my immediate family and we all had our own private spaces to sleep, relax and get ready. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The views of the lake and the woods were both perfect. The bathrooms were clean and lovely. The fire pit and backyard were spacious for games and a bonfire, and there was a seating area and table to eat dinners in the back. We spent our mornings on the front porch eating breakfast or on the balconies. The lake waves and breeze were endlessly relaxing. The kitchen, living room, and dining area were massive and full of space! The kitchen had everything and more. We loved the bar area too! Thank you for an amazing and wonderful stay. It was so ever memorable.
Most beautiful property we have ever stayed at. Location was awesome, views were gorgeous, home was very clean and comfortably fit a large group. Communication was very timely. Would highly recommend this property!

My wife and I stayed in July 2019 with our daughters and their families; in all, 6 adults and 5 grandsons. We absolutely loved our stay. The house is well appointed, spacious and close to the water and attractions around Fennville, Saugatuck and Douglas. We hope to stay again soon.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, Abdul! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the quiet location and nearby activities during your stay at Moondance.
Regarding the check-in and check-out times, we understand that it may not be ideal for travelers. However, we do include these times in the listing, rental agreement, and pre-arrival instructions to give our guests advanced knowledge prior to booking and again as a reminder before arrival. We need the six hours between guest stays (10am-4pm) to properly prepare, maintain, and clean the home for the next guests.
We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!
Outstanding property in a terrific location. The overall appearance of the property was upscale with an amazing view of Lake Michigan. The size of the home was more than adequate for 8 adults and 5 small children. The kids had a blast in the bunk room. There were plenty of full baths for our needs and the location was right in the middle of vacation cities in Michigan with lots for the families to do.

Great spot for a family vacation
We enjoyed a wonderful family vacation with our three daughters, their spouses and our grandchildren (ages one to ten). The house was excellent with great amenities. Our group of 12 fit very easily into the house with plenty of space for everyone. The six bedrooms and five full baths were very helpful. My wife and daughters particularly liked the large kitchen and open floor plan.
The location on the lake was beautiful. We were very fortunate that we had great weather and were able to use the lake access every day (this can be a problem with bad weather or high lake levels). The sunsets were wonderful and early morning quiet was enjoyed by all.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Excellent property and community
The house and grounds were excellent which should be expected at this price point. We also really liked the location coming from Indianapolis, as of mid 2021 there is so much construction that getting around can be a challenge. The bonus room above the garage was outstanding with the bunk beds and dedicated bathroom for the kids.
There is still water pressure issues as discussed in previous reviews but the rental company seems to be addressing it because there was a plumber scheduled while we were there.
We were pretty disappointed by the inaccuracy of the Lakeshore photo. The stairs down are no longer there at all! We're completely understanding if water level determines if the beach is usable, but figured either way we could walk down to the water and sit on the landings. Listing should be revised to take the stairs out to avoid misleading customers.
This is an amazing property. It's a perfect location for a big family, multiple families, or a few friends joining together. The kids bunk room is fabulous and can sleep so many that we were all very comfortable. The kitchen is huge and there are a lot of seating areas that even with a big group you don't feel like you're on top of each other. The view is fabulous and the private beach access is awesome.

The town is adorable and so quaint. It was our first time in the area and we loved how family friendly it was. There are a lot of things to do outdoors, so many great ice cream places to try, and great coffee shops, and beaches to explore/hike along.
My two small nitpicks are I wish there was better seating in the front of the house where the view is and I would have liked more cleaning supplies to help keep the house tidy. The floors were a little dirty when when we first arrived and we bought some swiffer wet wipes to tidy along the week. They also don't provide any wood for the firepit- even a few logs to get started would be a nice courtesy. All small details because otherwise the stay was great and very comfortable.

Gorgeous large home with views and access to Lake Michigan.
This is a great newer home for a large family. The views of sunset are magnificent. We had 5 gorgeous days and all great sunsets. There are six bedrooms (one on the main floor) each with their own bathroom. The 6th bedroom is really more likely bonus room over the garage with 3 bunk beds and 2 extra beds. We had 10 people and more than ample room. The common areas including a huge modern kitchen are excellent for dining and hanging out. The house is listed as being on Lake Michigan. Actually, the house is across the street from the lake, with private stair access to the lake. There is nothing between the house and the lake aside from the street. There are about 75 stairs down the ravines to the lake. Please note that there is no beach (perhaps washed away), so there is not much opportunity to really enjoy the lake aside from viewing. It would be impossible to sit or play on the lokited and rocky beach or swim as the waves crash along the rocks, so do not rent this house if lake recreation is important to you.
Upon arrival, a portion of the electrical and water was not working properly. Susan at bvw rental was responsive and we had a repair person there the next morning. The electrical was repaired, but not the water issue. Unfortunately, the water issue was never resolved satisfactorily despite several additional repair visits. The water issue was primarily a lack of water pressure in the master and several of the other showers to the point where showering in those bathrooms was unsatisfactory. Please be sure to check on this issue before renting this property. I’m the our 2nd night, the electricity went out in the entire neighborhood (we were told about 80 houses were impacted). The house has a general backup generator, however, it did not function, so we had no electricity. This is not that big of a deal, however, the water system pump is connected to the electricity, so we not only had no running water for drinking or showers, the toilets did not work as well. I feel that for a house of this quality and high rental rates, that something as basic these days as a backup generator should work especially if use of water is connected to the electricity.
The backyard fire pit is nice (real wood).
The three car garage is nice to keep your cars inside, but note the garage is not cleaned and there was a lot of dirt and spider webs in the garage.
Overall, our family had a great time and enjoyed the property.

Thanks so much for your feedback - the water pressure issue has been resolved! I wish we had been able to correct this more efficiently but it took a bit of troubleshooting. As far as the electrical - we haven't had an outage there before and hopefully this was an isolated situation.
The beach this year has of course been an issue throughout all the lakeshore communities. The house was built with the intention that the private stairs led directly to the beach and until this past summer that was the case - all we can do is hope the water levels return to normal for the upcoming summer season and better beach access...
We have a large family, so finding a place to accommodate all of us is TOUGH! This rental was absolutely lovely! The view is breathtaking, it’s close in location to Douglas, saugatuak and south haven! House was clean and rooms were spacious!
We were disappointed when we got to the house to see there was no access to the beach from the stairs. They are completely blocked off with no direct access to the beach!
Other than that, we loved it and had a great vacation! Thank you!!
