The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental is a three bedroom house with ample living room and kitchen space for a small family. The beach is one block away (does require the use of at least 30 stairs leading down to the beach.) The location is perfect for going to the beach and patronizing local restaurants and shops. We would stay here again! ##### Heather L. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel M. Jul 15, 2025 #### Perfect get away. Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We needed a house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms that was close to the beach. This fit the bill perfectly. It was such a clean and fresh smelling house- not a hint of mold. Kitchen and living room had a nice flowing layout. All of our children commented how they really enjoyed the house. A definite winner. ##### Daniel M. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel A. Aug 24, 2025 #### Lovely home for beach fun or getaway in Harbor Country! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a lovely time at this home! The kitchen was beautiful and so well-stocked with all the tools, bowls, and plates we needed. The bathroom towels were so nice, and the step stool for the little ones was a thoughtful touch. Thank you also for the new beach chairs—we really enjoyed using them! The short walk to the beach was perfect, and coming back to a clean home with the A/C keeping us cool during the hot week was a real plus. We also loved roasting marshmallows around the fire pit and grilling a couple of nights—everything worked perfectly! The home is just a few minutes from the beach—just pull your wagon down the road and walk down the stairs to the beautiful sands and water. It was a great spot for a week of fun before school starts, and we’re sure others will love it too for their next beach getaway or a fun-filled visit to Southwest Michigan! ##### Daniel A. Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Austin V. Sep 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Location was nice enough, but house was not the most well stocked compared to most short-teem rentals we’ve stayed at. If it’s a rainy day, be aware, TV doesn’t really work or connect to devices at all. They also send you a separate rental agreement outside of VRBO that you have to sign. They emailed us every day asking us to sign starting several weeks in advance. We continued to receive email requests even after we signed (about 2 weeks before we arrived). Even after we forwarded them the receipt of signature and our signed copy, we continued to get email requests and it continued daily, up until several days after we checked out. Finally, this is a personal pet peeve, the cleaning fee for our 3-day stay was over 200\. Despite the hefty fee, they still including a long list of chores to be completed before checkout, including a checklist that needed to be signed, under threat of an additional heft fee. ##### Austin V.
