This is a really cute and cozy place, we appreciated the cleanliness upon arrival, the decor in the home is really cute, it's on a very quiet street, sitting on the front porch to drink coffee was very peaceful. Just a short drive to the beach or if you're feeling up for it about a 20 min walk. The outside of the home needs some attention, there are some broken boards on the patio, and the patio and front porch furniture could use an update. Our only complaint for the kitchen was there was no drying rack for drying dishes, and kitchenware also needed an update, there was no toaster that we could find, and more dishcloths should be provided for guests. Otherwise the property managing company was very attentive, the check in process was seamless, they were great, so hopefully the owneee might just consider a little TLC to these few issues and this place would be an absolute gem.

My family enjoyed the house and the neighborhood location. When we arrived the smoke detectors kept going off so my wife contacted the property management and was informed to unplug all of them and they’d be over the next day to add batteries to all the units.
They never showed up so the smoke detectors were inactive all weekend. The kitchen cook ware should be updated as well.

We had a wonderful time here with family! The house and furnishings were very comfortable. We enjoyed the front deck and patio. There is not a dishwasher but we didn’t need one. I highly recommend this cute, comfortable house for your home base to beaches and docks on Lake Michigan.
5.0 / 5.0
All was well, however, it would be nice if the outdoor patio area was repaired since there were quite a few loose boards
Otherwise, everything inside the house was very neat and clean, and the kitchen was well equipped. We did have quite a bit of difficulty getting cable television, and never did get it to work.

Our annual girlfriends getaway was made even more special because the house was set up perfectly for the 7 of us! The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep & we made use of the side patio for evening cocktails! We all had a place to sleep & never had a problem w/ the 2 bathrooms between all of us. We walked to the beach in the mornings to enjoy the view & were glad it was only a few minutes drive to all of our local destinations. The owner responded promptly when I had a few questions.

Property was as advertised, very clean inside. It would be nice to have a dishwasher and the toaster did not work, luckily I brought my own. Otherwise, it was a pleasant week at this location. Front porch steps need to be repaired and hand rail is loose.

Beachtown house
Great house and location tucked away from busy road leading to beach. Short walk to the beach, playground, brewery and restaurants. Short drive to walk to the lighthouse on the other side of the channel. House was exactly as advertised and well kept. Would be nice to have a dishwasher but we knew that going in. House was perfect for our vacation. Lots of golf options nearby too within a short drive. Would come back here again after a great stay.

I’d Come Back!
We enjoyed our stay at this charming historic house. It was clean, updated and well supplied with all our kitchen needs. The furniture and beds were comfy and the location was just a short walk to downtown and the Manistee River. The beaches and boat launch were 5 minutes away or less. The beaches at Manistee are amazing!

Great location
The house it tucked into the trees in a quiet setting, and central to everything in town. There was plenty of room for our family, and exactly what we needed for a long weekend visiting family in town.
5.0 / 5.0
Cute and comfy
Walking distance to downtown, the river walk and Lake Michigan. Recently updated and fresh. The upstairs only has a small en-suite bath so the occupants of the other bedroom must either go downstairs or through the bedroom. The front porch was a great hang out spot.
Be advised- There is no dishwasher so pack lots of paper plates.

Almost perfect....
The online pictures were not exactly accurate as there is some maintenance that needs to be done on the outside but the inside was very clean and exactly as stated in the listing. The property manager was very responsive when we needed something. Love the big front porch and side yard table! Overall a great experience!

Perfection
We booked this property not knowing much about the area for a girls weekend. It was perfect we hardly left the property. It’s decorated so cute, it was clean, plenty of room to visit both inside and out. The neighborhood was quiet. We will definitely be renting this property again.

Quick getaway
Very cute house with a nice porch, walking distance from downtown. Windows could use a good cleaning - we wanted to open them but they were kind of covered in dead bugs. Lamps next to beds would also be a great improvement. Otherwise super clean and convenient!

Nice Experience
The property was very clean and well maintained. We were in town for two days to do a salmon charter both days. This house was only two blocks away from our charter which made it very convenient.
