Saw this studio unit for rent and it worked out great, communication was spot on. Place was clean and with the weather almost perfect we enjoyed our stay with no issues. If we plan a trip back we will definitely rebook.

Overall the property and location are great. We loved the fact that there was a walkout onto the beach area and very easy access to lake Michigan. Glen Arbor is a lovely town and we really enjoyed the wonderful restaurants and shops. The Michigan Chicken salad at Cherry Republic was awesome!!

Can’t beat the location and cozy spot for two!

We enjoyed our time on the beach.

We had a few extra family members join us at the Homestead and the Cabana worked out perfect to house our extra couple.

Staying at the Cabana was stress free and easy. Cute little place.

We had a good experience. Pros: Very clean, the unit is pretty updated (although the building is from the 70s), and the beach was less than a minute walk away. Cons: The door lock was tricky to lock and the bathroom closet door was broken. If you’re looking to spend a lot of time at the beach it is worth it.

Love the Homestead! My parents owned a Homestead property they stayed in each summer for years, and we have rented a few Homestead properties in the past. We knew this one was small but it was just what we needed. All was clean and the kitchen was fine to cook our breakfasts. Weather didn't cooperate for us but we still very much enjoyed our stay.

When I checked in and open the closet door to hang up some clothes the door Started to fall on me. I called the company right away and he said oh I’ll get somebody out in a few days. So I never hung up my clothes I never use that closet. That’s why I gave it a poor rating

We stayed 3 nights everything was sufficient. Large room, small table, basic kitchen. We needed for nothing. We were steps away from lake MI. It was our first time using an airb&b rather than staying at the homestead. It was very nice.

This was a nice property and close to Lake Michigan with a beautiful beach. The property was neat and tidy and totally served our purpose.

Small but good for our needs. Good location for going to the beach.

We checked in later in the evening and quickly realized that there was a very strong fragrance in the condo. We knew we wouldn’t be able to sleep with it so we tried switching the blankets and sheets with new ones provided in the condo. The smell was still too strong and our clothes were then covered in it as well. We ended up searching for a hotel and driving 45 away. VRBO had us on hold for 20 minutes and then hung up on us at 2 in the morning so we gave up on that. The next morning we needed to either check out of our hotel or book another night and we hadn’t heard from anyone yet so we booked another night. Shortly after, the condo messaged and offered to refund one night and change the bedding. They explained that there was a strong bacon smell and they had tried to cover it up with fragrance (big red flag if you try to cover smells instead of cleaning). We explained that we had already tried changing the bedding and it didn’t help and had already needed to book another night at the hotel so we were at a least owed one more nights refund. We didn’t get a response after that.

no place to put your clothing, closet is full of brooms shovels (cleaning) equipment and winter bed stuff, same for the 5 shelf metal rag, which is full of winter bed covers or TV equipment. On the bed are senseless many pillows which have to go somewhere. Cleanliness???? Im still not sure why we have to pay $125.00 for cleaning. The stepping stones in the back are overgrown by weeds. This is way overpriced, for what it is....

The location was great for access to the beach and lake activity. It was nice to have the walkout option, but unfortunate that the lower level has no view of lake.

Small space comfortable for one. Contact person very responsive to concerns over condition of bed and linens. All very clean except bed. Good location, close to beach.

The location in the Homestead resort was great - just steps away from Lake Michigan. Room had everything I needed.

We had a fun stay at this little studio on the Crystal River. It was cozy, convenient and clean. No frills but very comfy. We had a problem with the heat but the property manager brought us a space heater the next day and I’m assuming the heat/ac was repaired after our stay. I had some communication issues w the property manager but we reserved very late, and once we got each other’s cell numbers to text, she was very responsive.

The Cabana is perfect for two people and located just steps away from Lake Michigan! Awesome views, clean and comfortable. We will be back!

Very cozy

A hotel would have been better. The TV is the size of a dinner plate, no tissue, no hair dryer. A college dorm Size refrigerator with no ice trays in the teeeny weeny freezer. All for a high price.

Wonderful and quiet spot. Close to everything!

My husband had a great time at the Cabana. It was exactly as described and so convenient for hiking, sightseeing, and just relaxing. We spent part of every day waking on the beach or the Homestead’s paved trails. While there might be a few things we would change- inside dining set and adding a dresser, we would still return again! We left very happy!

What a great property and location. Was just what we needed to explore Glen Arbor/Traverse City. Hope to return again one day!

This was are second time staying here and we love it. The Cabana is cute and cozy. It comes stocked with everything that you would need. We highly recommend this place.

Great little place.

The property had everything needed. Bed skirt was dirty in 3 spots so it was promptly removed once reported but that exposed the dirt under the bed. Location is great being a minute walk to a nice beach but I wouldn’t describe it as a cabana. Hallway outside of the room had a horrible smell which seeped into the apartment and made our clothes smell musty. Shower is very nice.

Loved the location. I had a very relaxing stay. Looking forward to next time.

The location offered the best sunsets right outside the door to the water. Property is spectacular and the location near Glen Arbor makes it easy to access fun things to do.

Great Location & price point!! Launch kayaks right from the room to paddle the Crystal River or Lake Michigan. Unit could use some attention, bathroom fan crusted with dust, shower grout moldy. Metal mesh patio style set used for kitchen table, not comfortable, outdoor patio (2 chairs & small table) cheap plastic molded set, again not comfortable. Missing slats & broken blinds, compromised privacy, especially on first floor. --hung blanket that was in room to cover sliding door.

True to advertisement.

The room was perfect, exactly as advertised, and the view out back was gorgeous. The team at VRBO was also excellent; I was in for an extended stay, and they checked in on me regularly, bringing me clean sheets and towels, and making sure the basic amenities were covered. The town of Glen Arbor is beautiful, as are the surrounding towns and dunes. The one issue I had was not with the place or the company - it was the gnats. I didn't realize it, but in May they are almost unbearable, and this year was - according to the locals - the worst it's ever been. You really couldn't be outside or else you'd be covered, which made enjoying the beach all but impossible. That is the only reason I give this place 4 stars instead of 5 - if you aren't there in May, it's 5 stars all the way. Other than that, I would highly recommend this place.
