The house has everything you need. The town has lots to do and the nearby dunes are definitely a great time. The only thing that could have been better is the weather. ##### Lisa K.

Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pentwater The home was very clean and well-equipped and perfect for our three generational family. It had many more items for cooking and bedding than we expected.The only disappointing aspect was the distance from the beach and the pool. There was a golf cart that helped us to access them but they were too far for a short walk.Overall, we would highly recommend it. ##### Karen G. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theresa Z. Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The home was large enough for all of us to spread out and each have our own space. It was nice to have the extra fridge in the garage for beverages. Lots of toys in the garage for the beach. Beach was further away than expected and definitely needed the golf cart. This piece needs to be in the description more clearly. The house is in a wooded community with lots of nature and we spotted many deer. All in all we had nice time and homeowner was available when needed ##### Theresa Z.

We were equally impressed by the town and this house. The house was clean, well equipped, with lots of space and common areas. We were there after Labor Day so the beach and town were quiet, just to our liking. We had a very minor issue on the first morning. I called the host, who answered immediately and sent someone over to fix it within an hour. This is the 4th house I’ve rented on VRBO and by far my favorite. ##### Amy H.

This house was super clean and had a lot of room for the 12 of us to spread and out and not feel crowded at all. Comfortable beds, games, sand toys, beach floats, pickle ball rackets... activities for all ages. Plus the use of the golf cart made it so easy to get around! We had an awesome time! ##### Linda D.

Perfect location, smartly decorated, comfortable beds. The home was spacious with three levels. The place exceeded our expectations. The use of the golf cart was a bonus. We used the heated community pool and pickleball court. Had a bonfire on the beach and had a fun time at the putt putt/go carts nearby. Ludington is close by for provisions and nice restaurants. There was a small incident beyond the control of the host or tenant. The owner resolved the issue in a timely manner. The host was responsive. ##### Michael R.

Jun 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Woodland Dunes Pentwater This was a super clean property with tons of amenities. It was super close to a gorgeous beach and a heated pool. The kids loved having a golf cart so we could explore the neighborhood. We made friends with deer, raccoons, squirrels, bunnies and birds. And we spent our nights relaxing and grilling on the giant back porch. We came with a group of 10 people and there was room for everybody to stretch out and find their own space. The owners checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property to others! ##### Kimberly N. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna L., Dayton, USA Aug 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A comfortable and relaxing get away location We spent a week at Woodland Dunes with our 4 adult children and one guest. The house was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of space for sitting, eating, sleeping, bathing and relaxing. The kitchen was well stocked with all the amenities needed for daily food preparation/consumption, and the large laundry room was an added bonus. The back deck, with the flattop grill was a favorite hangout spot. We appreciated the fact that the house was a short golf-cart ride to the private beach. Driving through the wooded neighborhood and coming into the beach area was an experience that never got old. The sand was soft and fine and made a great location to read books, enjoy a beverage, catch a catnap and most importantly, watch beautiful sunsets. We also appreciated the variety of beach items available for use including beach chairs, kayaks, floats and much more. On the one rainy day we had, we made use of the games that were available in the house. It was very easy to communicate with the owners and they were quick to respond to questions. This is definitely a property we would book again. ##### Donna L.

The house was perfect for our multigenerational group of 10: 6 adults and 4 kids. The house is huge and beautiful. It comes with a golf cart that my kids loved. We have been renting houses at VRBO for 10+ years, and this one is the nicest. It's obvious that the owners love and take care of it. The kitchen was well equipped, all bedrooms had the softest linens. Thank you Jann and Bruce ##### Nadiya R. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret O.

The owners were very responsive to questions, and checked in with us on the day of arrival to make sure all was well. Couldn't have asked for a better property or better weather (beach day every day!!!) We would recommend this home to any and all, and hope to rent again for a future visit. ##### Margaret O.

We rented during the winter so didn’t utilize all the amenities that would be available in the summer, but the property has great beach access. Will be back to enjoy it in the warmer months. ##### Amber M. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie R., Saint Louis County, MO Aug 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Home! The house had plenty of room for our group, ages 16-81! It was very clean and well supplied. The owner provides a well detailed information binder and labels on light switches and cabinets - love the organized but comfortable feel of the house. Beds were comfy with plenty of space in each bedroom. The ping pong set was a big hit - along with the golf cart. The area is beautiful - Pentwater is a great town. The homeowners were very responsive and professional. Quiet neighborhood amongst trees but so close to Lake Michigan and a multitude of activities. We took a sunset cruise out of Pentwater, rented a pontoon boat on Hamlin Lake, visited and climbed Big Sable Lighthouse, shopped, swam in the pool and enjoyed the beach. We visited Up North Market and their farm animals - a neat place that even our teenagers enjoyed. Another favorite was the produce and handmade soaps at the farmers market in downtown Pentwater. Our trip was great fun - other than car issues and scheduling a tow truck and taxi ride the day of our checkout! ##### Julie R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lily P.
