Great location a short walk to beach with a playground close by. I’m a woods so it was quite and secluded.

This is a nice property with everything you need to relax. The hot tub was nice but it created a ton of foam which was weird for a hot tub. The beach was accessible by crossing a busy road but we didn’t mind that. The wood fireplaces were a great touch and there were plenty of places to lounge. The kitchen was pretty well equipped. The cleaning though— left a lot to be desired. We found candy wrappers in our bedroom, indicating it had not been vacuumed at all and it was clear they only washed the bed sheets as the duvets were dirty and stained.

This is our second time staying at this property and we enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for two families (4 adults and 5 kids total), able to spread out and relax. Easy walk through the woods to the public beach (as noted you have to cross what is essentially a freeway to get to the site so while it is a short walk I wouldn't recommend with small kids), the woods are lovely, good amenities and nice cozy ambience in the home. The beds and bedding are not the most comfortable or updated and there are signs of wear/etc. in the bathrooms but the value for a home so close to the beach and absolutely great communication and ease of checkin balance that out. Also so grateful to get to bring our dogs. Highly recommend nearby Jollay Orchards for a fall visit too. There is not much that is super close to the home (not much of a town to speak of and limited dining options in Coloma) but an easy drive to St. Joseph for more restaurants and stores (and we did find local pizza delivery).

Communication with the host was prompt, thorough, and above all, friendly. The home had several board games for the kids and several areas to gather. It was in close proximity to several beaches and was easy to find. If I were to offer any area of improvement, I would share that the house could have really used new bedding on most of the beds. The fitted sheets were very lose/worn, the comforters needed to be laundered, and the few pillows were very flat/old.

Our family of 13 booked this home for our family vacation and we had an AMAZING time! The house had a peaceful, treehouse feel to it. It had ample space to sleep all of us and the grill, firepit, and hot tub were awesome amenities! We also loved the private pathway that led to the street near the beach. The stocked kitchen was also sufficient, especially considering that we cooked all of our meals during our stay. Valerie was a great host. She always responded promptly and professionally and gave us all the information we needed from check in to check out. My family and I would definitely book this house again!

Pros: My family really loved this place. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay. It was perfect for all of us, and we especially enjoyed walking to the beach or driving to St. Joseph if we wanted to. Cons: The place could use a deep cleaning but was NOT dirty by any stretch. The bed in the master bedroom was not the most comfortable, and the sheets in the master bedroom were worn out and felt like sleeping on sandpaper.
