Will definitely stay again

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a perfect set for what our families needed; individual “units” for each family and we could still spend time together without being in each others space. We had nice fires at the fire pit, took turns swimming on the little tree swing and after the kids went to sleep each night we were able to hang out on the cozy screened in-porch. Each little “apartment” has a portable air conditioner and there are also a few window fans which is nice. A two minute walk down the road is a fish restaurant CASH ONLY and beach access, with a playground and tennis courts are only a 6 minute walk. There were just a few minor cleaning misses but that did not dampen our stay. We will definitely be back next summer but this time for longer.

Sister get away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We found this cozy cottage to be very suitable for our vacation. It's really 2 places in one which gave us space to spread out and come together. It's clean and mostly updated. We had no problems checking in or out. When I tripped a fuse, the property responded quickly and the matter was resolved. Lake Michigan was very lose by, but you cannot see it from the property. The cottage is very private and quiet. I would recommend this reental!

Spacious,clean and close to Lake Michigan

These two cottages are centrally located between Pentwater and Ludington. We visited beaches in both locations. The surroundings are peaceful, nice fire pit and hammock. The cottages were clean, nicely decorated and have all the amenities needed. One suggestion is to have a picnic table outside. We had beautiful weather and love being outdoors and would have eaten meals outside if there were a picnic table. Loved our stay and would rent again. Thank you!!
