This home was perfect for a large family group. Our family got together for some summer time together. The location right at the beach was wonderful, it was a very easy walk to the water each day. The basement was stocked with beach towels and chairs and everything you could need. The rooms provide a lot of sleeping space for a large group. The large dining tables assured everyone had a seat. Overall we had a wonderful time, definitely going to ear mark this location for future trips!

This was a perfect spot for walking to Lake Michigan. Steps away from the beach made the location ideal. Lots of seating for meals was helpful. Main floor and upper level bedrooms and bathrooms were adequate and clean. Upstairs sitting area was calm and peaceful. Basement space wise was nice, however, when going into the basement there was a musty smell. The bathroom in the basement had a drain with standing water in it. When turning on the sink, water would gurgle in the drain. This drain also had a horrible smell that permeated the whole bathroom. If needing to use the basement space, would not recommend but if space in basement is not needed, this is a perfect spot for lake access. Neighborhood was also very quiet. Host was very responsive when finding out about the drain, etc and sent a handyman to check it out.

Comfortable, casual house just half a block from the beach. Place was just as described and host was easy to work with (although not always timely in responses). Definitely recommend.

We had an absolutely amazing stay with my big family. We ranged in age from 1-68 and everyone had a comfortable bed and no problem finding a bathroom near every bedroom. The kitchen was stocked with dishes, pots and pans and any other kitchen item you might need. There is an easy walk to the beach and a walkway that made pulling a wagon and pushing a stroller easy. The beach is gorgeous. I definitely recommend this beautiful home that easily accommodates 18 people.

This is our second straihjt years for staying at this location. It is so ideal for our family. We have eight adults and 10 grandchildren and the house is very comfortable with plenty of room to play games, eat, sleep, relax, etc. it meets all of our needs, and then sell! The closeness of the beach is a big selling point. It is about a 100 yard walk to the beach, which makes it very convenient for the parents to bring home their children for lunch, restroom breaks, naps, etc. plenty of room on the beach for our family of 18. The owner is very easy to work with and always returns emails, phone calls, etc. immediately. A big thumbs up from the Webber Family and we would give it 10 stars but we’re limited to only five!!!

I stayed here with my siblings, their spouses and our 13 children. This house was perfect-it was SO close to the beach…literally a 2 minute walk to the sand and another 3 minutes to get to the waterfront. The mudroom was perfect to dump all the towels, chairs, sand toys and keep the rest of the house clean. The dining area has 3 tables so plenty of space to sit and eat. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms making it ideal for a large group so everyone had their own space. The neighborhood was cute, clean and safe.
