Jun 11, 2025 #### A Week at The Big Chill Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: We had a good vacation at The Big Chill. The beachfront location was perfect! The fresh paint on interior and abundance of fluffy towels was much appreciated. The kitchen offered everything we needed. However, we realized after allergy symptoms appeared with one of our party and we collected pet hairs when we swept hardwood floors, that this home had been occupied by a pet. Except for this, all was good. ##### Karen L. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan S.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The big chill Just a few notations about the home :Arrived to towels on the deck and in closets Loose door handle, when we arrived was on a main door with lots of use ..which broke shortly after arrival and we replaced Dirty dishes in the cabinetsLeftover items left in the house A big bag of dirty linens left downstairs in the driveway Carpets were not cleaned/swept No bathmats for the bathrooms -with most of them being tile dangerous situationdirt /garbage underneath furniture We are OK with these things because we are from a big family and used to cleaning up I just wanted you to be aware of how the house was left so that maybe the crews can do a better job in the future We enjoy the house. This is our second time spending our vacation at this house Loved all the updates!We have been vacationing at Garden City Beach since 2005 And we come every three years, we enjoy the area immensely thank you so much for your time and hospitality. You were very gracious and helping us with anything we needed! ##### Susan S. ### 2/10 Terrible #### kyle r. Dec 6, 2024 ##### kyle r. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John M. Jul 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect house We had a group of 10 and never felt crowded. It was the perfect location, loved having the shower to rinse off and hop right into the pool. The kitchen was well stocked and the ac worked great!!!! ##### John M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathi D., Litchfield, MI Sep 10, 2018 #### Summer Vacation We really enjoyed our stay at The Big Chill!! We had a group of 14 adults and we had plenty of room and the ocean view was spectacular. The only disappointment was we were told there was a 12x24 pool and the pictures we had were not the pool that was at the house. ##### Cathi D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JoAnn M. Aug 19, 2018 #### Couldn’t have been better The Big Chill was a fantastic rental for our family group of 17. With just steps to the beach, an outdoor shower for rinsing, to a private pool, our family was more than satisfied. Six of the seven bedrooms had private bathrooms; 7th was on main floor with that bathroom accessible to all. Rental was clean with good kitchen with eat in bar and plenty of dishes. The dryer stopped working but maintenance quickly resolved the issue. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ##### JoAnn M.
