Jul 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fathers Day Week Had a lovely time with our family. The house was everything listed and more. Was only disappointed with the calls from Vacasa regarding the total occupancy of the house. The house listed 16 adults +, lucky enough I had a screen shot, and also lucky we only had 16 total in the house. The house would sleep over 30, so a little confusing. ##### Ellen S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John G. Oct 3, 2023 #### Family perfection! The moment you step into the Beach House you feel like it is your home. The layout, the style, the mammoth kitchen all call for family! We had a special reason this past weekend for staying here and every aspect of the weekend was perfect. Each guest room was tastefully decorated, comfortable and set up to want for nothing! The entertaining spaces allowed for our own touch and we made it our own. The outside space (3 levels of decks) have all the amenities you’d expect. While blessed with perfect weather, Mother Nature was in full bloom. Come Sunday, we did not want to leave. Thank you to the owners and their local Vacasa manager for ensuring the lifetime of memories we took with us, looking forward to our return! ##### John G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chenoweth A. Jul 1, 2025 #### Wonderful location and comfortable, well stocked home Our family of 14 - aged 14 to 85 - had an incredible time at Sandcastle. Each person said WOW when they entered the house! The common areas (inside and outside) and bedrooms were abundant and very comfortable. The kitchen is extremely well stocked to be able to cook and clean up large family meals. I was delighted with the stocking of toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen essentials, and starter dishwashing/laundry packs...what a kindness...as well as the beach chairs and towels which were provided. And bath towels! And games! (Our young adults/teens played board games well into the night while the older crew remarkably was able to sleep upstairs undisturbed.) So many things were considered for the comfort of guests in this home, and we were incredibly grateful. And I haven't even mentioned the incredible location and views - the beach was spectacular and the proximity to New Buffalo just right...away from the beach crowds but close enough to walk to fun restaurants and shops. We would absolutely choose to stay here again - thank you!! ##### Chenoweth A. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cozy, Secluded, Year-Round Cabin Rental With A Hot Tub!](https://www.expedia.ca/Munising-Hotels-Cozy.h27265412.Hotel-Information) > > [St. Clair Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-The-St-Clair-Inn.h36685.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Sault Ste.
