Stayed here during a High School fishing tournament. Adequate room for 2 boats. Everything was great and clean. Comfortable beds. Would stay again for sure!
We always enjoy our stays in Brenda’s properties. The homes are beautifully decorated and so clean. Brenda is quick to respond any time we have a question! We would highly recommend her properties!
Well maintained home and yard. So many options for sitting inside and outside. Great fenced in backyard. Appreciated the spices and condiments for cooking. Comfortable beds. Quiet neighborhood. Excellent choice.
Outstanding host, a beautiful home in a great location. The host is quick to respond, kind, and really thinks of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I would 100% book again in the future.
We had never been to Michigan before. This home was super clean and cute! The host had it stocked up for us and she made our stay so easy and pleasant. It was very close to the beach and downtown restaurants.
Very clean, quiet, and charming. I enjoyed the quiet and having everything available that we could possibly need (even spare readers, thank you!!!) for a weekend of R&R. Dogs LOVED the fenced yard to run free and the host was very responsive. I would stay here again if returning to the area. Just a lovely and peaceful stay, Thank you!
The house was perfect. Brenda has thought of everything you could possibility need while away from home! The house and backyard were beautiful. It was only a mile from the beach which was great for kids and dogs and there was a park just down the street.
The house is just about perfect. Our dog loved the dedicated dog blankets. Beds were all very comfy. The design: modern, warm, cheery. Our dog (and all of us) loved the front and back yards.
Nicely decorated and well stocked with all we needed!
The house and yard are very nice! Great fenced in yard for our dog. Only having one bathroom is the only downside. We had five people in the house and we made it work. Loved how the house was decorated! Would stay again!
The whole process was very easy. Brenda was responsive and helpful!
The house was very kid friendly with board games, books, etc. and really made our kids feel at home. Also, there are tons of playgrounds near this house so there was always a new place to check out.
Overall, the house w!s a joy to stay at!
The property was wonderful - so clean, very tastefully decorated, plenty of space. The host really went the extra mile thinking of everything we might need. The patio and yard were wonderful for eating outdoors and letting the dogs run. (The property is very dog friendly.) Just a short drive to the beach. Could not recommend this property more!
Beautifully decorated older 3BR house. We loved the layout and the fenced in yard for our dog. The owner has thought of everything one might need for a short stay. The house had comfortable beds and up to date appliances. Good location—our only negative was that we were hoping we could walk to the beach but it was a little too far so we drove. Otherwise, a nice relaxing few days and we would stay here again.
We were highly impressed by the cleanliness of this house and overall amenities offered. We are a family of 4 who brought our maltipoo along on a memorable vacation. The house was very well taken care of, offered many things to make your stay more comfortable (extra blankets, everything you could need in the kitchen, extra toiletries should you have forgotten anything, etc.). While we are out of the pack-and-play stage I greatly appreciated seeing one with sheets, etc. Kid friendly dishes, bowls and cups also offered were a pleasant surprise.
The location served us very well too. Kruse Park (dog friendly beach) is less than 5 minutes away and was phenomenal - clean, beautiful and much less crowded than the other beaches. We also took day trips to other towns making this location very convenient as well.
On a rainy day we took in the children's museum which was a hit for our 2nd grader and preschooler.
Note: Two beach chairs were available for us to use as well as a new washer and dryer. When reviewing prior reviews, these are mentioned as suggestions, so I'm happy to share they are now offered. Both made our stay more enjoyable.
We had a wonderful stay! Beds were comfortable, lots of “extras” (coffee pods, beach towels, games etc), great outdoor area, quick drive to the beach and the host was so friendly and easy to communicate with.
