Also great location for accessing the beach! ##### Jeremy W. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim B. Aug 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Sunsets Over Dunes This property was perfect for our stay! Charlevoix is such a charming area to explore. Being just outside of town was perfect since we could be so close to the beach and dunes. Just a short walk to the dunes for a little more vigorous entry and exit to the beach or a short walk the other direction to get to an easier entry to the water and very cool sand bar area with lots of Petoskey stones! If you are staying in the winter, you are right around the corner from a ski hill. The accessible ramp to the side door was a great benefit for Grandma’s limited mobility. We would stay again if we get back up to this area. ##### Tim B. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jenny Z.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There was an outside odor the duration of our stay. Occasionally it drifted into the house. We thought skunk initially but concluded it more like a sewage odor. Unpleasant. Also no hair dryer that we could find. Otherwise great property! ##### Jenny Z.

TV service wasn’t the greatest. Not sure if it was the service or user? We weren’t able to get streaming service on living room TV, only Spectrum and that was questionable. A glass enclosure for shower would help to keep water off bathroom floor. Everything else was great. ##### Cynthia H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kami R.

The walk to the beach is about 10 minutes even with being loading down with beach chairs, and 2 children. The beach is amazing and even with a full parking lot had a ton of room for everyone. We went into town several times and its a super quick 1.5 mile drive. If we didn't have the kids we could have biked there no problem. We also did the hiking trails to the observation platform which was quick and fun. ##### Marcus D.

Jul 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay! Stayed here Tuesday-Friday with my 80 year old Mom and 2 sons. The house was very cute and clean. Beds were comfy. Nice wrap around deck with decent patio furniture! Dunes across the street and a short walk were beautiful! A little tough for an elderly person but worth the walk for the view. The beach here was virtually all sand unlike many others in the area that have a lot of rocks and sand. Only downside was couldn’t get local channels or live tv, only Netflix and Amazon. Was maybe a 5 minute drive to downtown Charlevoix. Great location, would definitely recommend staying here! ##### Jessica D.

It was a short walk to the beach at the end of the road and about a 10-15 minute walk through the park to the big beach and sand dunes. The cottage was very comfortable. The wifi was occasionally good but it repeatedly dropped off while we tried to use it. The firepit was great, but the chairs near it were wobbly. ##### Kathleen E.

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: From the minute we turned onto McSauba Drive and saw our quaint house we were thrilled! The porches to relax with coffee or wine were great! The .25 mile easy walk across the street to gorgeous Lake Michigan with its clear water, sandy beach and unique large and plentiful dunes was perfect. The house has ample space for our family + daughter’s boyfriend. One con is the only 1 bathroom, but not a big deal at all. This was overshadowed by proximity to the cute town of Charlevoix with great restaurants and shopping, disc golf, biking and beaches. The owners even were very quick and helpful in finding and mailing a few items we left behind. We will surely be back!!! ##### jennifer s.

Very disappointed. ##### Susan C. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori L. Aug 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Up north retreat This place was very comfortable, clean & a wonderful location. We loved having the woods across the street with the many trails. Just wish we would have had more time to explore the woods. It was so peaceful to watch the deer there each morning. Terri was very nice & helpful & met us there right as we arrived. The only negative was the mattress in the middle bedroom needs to be replaced. It has a big dip in the middle & forces each person to roll to the middle. Also some instructions on the washer/dryer combo unit would have been helpful. Our clothes never did get completely dry. Maybe it was operated error 😊 but have never used one of those all-in-one units before. Overall a beautiful home & location. It’s a place we would buy if we lived up there!! Even the locals we were visiting up there knew the house & they were envious!! ##### Lori L.
