Beautiful Lake Charlevoix Sandy Beach- Best North Shore Location

10/10 Excellent

"Cute house! Great views & location on quiet bay on the lake. Nice beds, sheets, towels and pillows. Well appointed kitchen and good laundry facilities. Only word of caution - if you are traveling with a infant or toddler, the stairs to the upper two levels are challenging because they are steep and not kid-safe. The room with the crib is on the third floor and the crib is a nice wooden one, but not easily moveable without taking it apart."

Big living room on the main floor with three bedrooms and a bathroom, a large large kitchen and additional pantry. The upstairs had four more bedrooms, two bathrooms and another huge living room. Everyone had their own space. in the evening we would sit out on the deck with the. fire pit and roast marshmallows. The house had the latest in appliances, both the stove and refrigerator and dishwasher and two washers and two dryers. we loved using the golf cart to go to the beach Abraham owner. Handiman was available at a moment notice to help with any little thing or questionThe location was close to everything a couple of minutes to the town of Charlevoix and a couple of minutes to the sand dune Park. And we were only an hour south of Mackinac. We would walk every morning down the Indian Trail. And we were five minutes from Pickleball courts and soccer courts and basketball courts. We had a great time.."
