We really enjoyed the location and size of this property. The beach is very nice and the house is spacious.

Home is situated in a beautiful community right on the beach. There is a sand beach area and dock to relax on. We brought inner tubes and rafts to float on. The water is shallow at only 3 to 4 feet out for a good hundred feet so it was ideal for floating and water games.. We enjoyed the firepit at night for smores and Mountain Pies too. Bring blankets for at night it gets a little chilly. The weather is cooler and we loved it. It doesn't get dark till after 10 so long nights sitting outside was ideal.We brought yard games such as Corn hole to play.The Home is stocked with most items you need.. I did bring my own sheets,blankets, towels just because I wanted to. The house is a bit dated like the Brady Bunch but we enjoyed the nostalgia. It was well maintained and clean. It's also quite large with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. It has two wings so you can easily share it with another family.The location is amazing we were in Glen Arbor 8n 15 minutes for shopping, groceries and Cherry Republic. There is great shoppers from clothing, t-shirts, Artist boutiques, book store and souvenirs. The drive is 15 minutes to Sleeping Dunes National Park for hiking, nice drive and beaches. We also enjoyed Fishtown in Leland and a day in Traverse City, both within less than 30 minutes. We actually bought our groceries in Traverse because the prices at Andersons was pricey.So happy we stayed at this beautiful beach house! I had scoured through tons on houses and locations along the Western coast of Michigan. So glad we chose this one!

Though it was October the water and beach were perfect! The water is clear and sandy and perfect for ppl with young kids. The house was quite large with great shared spaces with waterfront views. Had most things you might need and the owner followed up with us after checkin just to be sure all was well. Close to everything, look forward to returning when its warmer in the future!

Pros: The house is a five star location and views. Great for families, well stocked. One of the best beaches on an interior lake in Michigan. Great clear water, quiet neighborhood, quiet street. Cons: The house needs some major updating. Was disappointed in cleanliness, especially compared to other houses that we rent, and especially during Covid. Had to clean ourselves. Dishes, oven, microwave filthy. We felt over all that it is overpriced, even for Michigan’s short rental season. Needs more photos on listing. Overall: due to the fantastic location we would still recommend this and stay here again. However I would not if the price increases because it is already overpriced.
