Our stay at the townhome on Miller Beach was wonderful! The house was well supplied, very clean, and very comfortable. But the best part was the beautiful views of Lake Michigan. We enjoyed morning walks on the beach and evening happy hours watching the sunsets. The owners were very accommodating to our requests. There were only 4 of us, so we had lots of room to relax inside and out. Great place to vacation!

We loved this condo. Great area compared to other beaches we went to. Lake access is literally steps out of the yard and over the dune to a clean well kept beach. Beds were comfortable, furnishings and extras like laundry detergent were exactly what we needed. Great stay for our family.

We had a wonderful stay here. The location is great - just steps from the beach. We went to the beach every day and it was nice to be able to easily go back to the house to eat lunch, take a break, etc. We grilled out, used the hammock, had smores over the fire pit. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.

Steps from a nice beach. Check in was easy, owners polite and attentive, plenty of room for everyone. Be aware that with three levels, there were a lot of stairs, and temperature control was tricky. However, I would stay again, and would recommend the property.

Loved our stay here. It's right on the beach, and the house is huge and beautiful. The owner put together a really thoughtful guide book that we enjoyed reading. Our only issue was the stove... even at 200 degrees it was burning everything in minutes.

This delightfully quiet beachfront home was perfect! Well-appointed kitchen! Super comfortable beds! Lovely view of the lake! The owners were so helpful with any questions we had. Very clean! Great fireplace that made for cozy evening talks in the living room! Definitely recommend this lovely home.
