Our daughter was in a wedding in Charlevoix over Labor Day weekend. Our daughter, son-in-law, 16 month old grandson, my wife and I enjoyed this rental. It is very well located in a quiet, charming neighborhood and is a short walk from the main dining and shopping areas in town and from Lake Michigan. We would highly recommend this property!

My husband, and I so enjoyed our stay in this little gem. It was well appointed, incredibly clean, quiet, and just what we were looking for! The backyard was fenced in for our small dog, and it was even well appointed for the dog! Towels, doggy bags, etc. The bedding and linens were superb! I think the bed was more more comfortable than mine at home, which I absolutely love! Towels were clean and bright and looked brand new. The laundry room had a great washer and dryer and I have now decided I need to replace mine! and location was fantastic. Safe and convenient!!! Entering an exiting the property with super simple. There was never a need to contact the owners. The neighbors were even friendly to us and helpful when I had questions. The owners responded quickly and provided great information inside the home. A Great place to stay when enjoying this area! We are “be backs!!”

We travel with two large dogs and this place had a large fenced yard that made it a perfect place for us. Location is excellent, walk to the beach, walk to downtown and located in a nice quiet neighborhood. Plenty of parking. House was a great space for two couples and it had a whole separate area (that we never used) with bunk beds if you had kids along. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. If you are a rock hound the local beaches and State Park will occupy you for days.
