The shoreline was pristine with beautiful sand. It was enjoyable for long quiet walks along the beach for miles in each direction. The sunsets were beautiful. The breeze from the lake was refreshing even on hot days and the sunshine plentiful for tanning. The condo was nicely welcoming. The hosts were attentive and accommodating. We kayaked the pine river one day and also ran into Traverse City. We ate icecream about every day in the historic downtown Manistee. We loved our stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22a0b7b8-e87a-425b-a1fa-3e2c1301cf30-1750806135390.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b2cd3396-4b9f-48a2-9a7f-12c4a376c462-1750806139174.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/028e36b3-ed53-4df3-810e-f83c7f70ad24-1750806138417.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c2def50a-e0b3-47f0-b1e2-105b5ffa41a1-1750806136672.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Larry and Karen C.

Aug 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and friendly hosts We enjoyed our week here. The property is peaceful, and the owners are friendly and helpful. The common space is nice and open (the photos don't totally do it justice), and the bedrooms are comfortable. The beach was heavenly, and the sunsets were amazing! Also, there are bald eagles nesting nearby, and we got to see them on several occasions. A few more labels and instructions in/around the unit would be helpful. As another reviewer noted, finding your way to the water the first time is a little tricky (even with the emailed instructions from the owner). The driveway up to the property is fairly steep and the turnaround at the top is tight, which wasn't a deterrent for us, but something you may want to know if you're considering the property, especially if you're coming in more than one car. Also, while everything inside is on one level, you need to go down and back up a series of steps to get from the parking area to the house, so if you have mobility issues, that could be challenging. All in all, we had a great time and would wholeheartedly recommend the property. ##### Veronica L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Russell G. Aug 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer Vac Very easy to work with the owners. We had a great time. Loved having the beach to ourselves. Towels and washcloths weren't included, which was kind of a bummer. There was no indication on how to get down to the beach (through the owners' yard) until we found it by accident. Would have been nice to see a "Beach this way " sign. No "seating" area around the TV area. It was comfy for the 5 of us, fans were great in the rooms. I looked all over for the "grill", but couldn't find it - instead we found a grate over the firepit (which ended up being the grill). We made burgers and hotdogs once but wouldn't recommend anything else on it. When we saw Grill listed, we figured it would be an actual Grill. ##### Russell G.

Jul 26, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Extremely dirty rental I don't like leaving bad reviews but this one needs to be left. The house was extremely dirty! The shower was disgusting and not cleaned at all, and the toilet was the same way! Everywhere you look in the house it was just filthy!! The stairs to the beach are a long walk from the rental. The way the pictures are it would make you think they are directly out front, but they are not. On top of all that the owners who also live on the property decided it was a good idea to display their political signs all over the place! As a business owner I would never display my political opinion at my place of business.... I didn't want to look at BLM signs and liberal garbage during my stay! ##### Jason H.

Aug 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great way to enjoy Manistee Our family greatly enjoyed our time here! What a beautiful place to enjoy Lake Michigan. We decided to end our summer at the beach and this spot was just what we needed. We traveled with 3 young kids, 6, 4, and 2, and there was enough space for all of us (baby was in a pack n play). Initially, I was a little worried about the erosion and sea wall but our children navigated it just fine and we felt very safe on the beach and swimming. There was a lot of flat areas on the beach to play on. It was also a great launching point! We have enjoyed Northern Michigan many times and chose to explore Manistee, Frankfort, the Platte River area, and Baldy trail while we were there. It was great to take a small adventure during the morning and come back to relaxing on the beach for the afternoon. Our kids LOVED walking down the beach. It is very private and feels like you have the whole space to yourself. We found lots of great stones, beach glass, and my kids could have played for hours in the lake. It was the best way to end our summer. ##### Lauren R. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt S.

Our family enjoyed a very serene view of the water with wonderful sunsets. Everyone loved watching the sunset by the fire pit. ##### Carmen P. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenna H. Jan 3, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful location, attentive hosts! My husband and I immensely enjoyed our stay at this lovely place. Shirley has made the house very cozy with lots of nice details--even leaving us a plate of pastries as a welcome! The view of the lake is truly stunning, and the surrounding area is perfect for all kinds of adventuring or rest and relaxation in any season. Shirley and her husband were very responsive and checked in on us by text when snow made the driveway a bit difficult to traverse. They went out of their way to make sure we were able to enjoy our stay to the fullest, and we appreciated it! Highly recommend this place to any traveler who appreciates natural beauty and warm hospitality. ##### Glenna H. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriel Y.

Amazing nightly sunsets by the fire pit, and private beach! The owner had wonderful recommendations for sites to visit, restaurants, and grocery nearby. We had everything we needed. Highly recommend and would definitely return!! ##### Cornell H.
