This home is steps from the water and a short walk to restaurants and shopping downtown. The front porch has a fantastic view and the house was clean and as advertised. Highly recommend

Great place & location, we stay before and will be staying there again

This is a nice well cared for cottage close to town and Lake Michigan. A perfect spot for quiet relaxing vacation.

Very clean and fresh finishes. Convenient location to the beach and walking distance to downtown Charlevoix. We could also walk to historic “mushroom houses”. We could not ask for a better place to visit Charlevoix.

We had another lovely stay at the cottage by the Lake Michigan Beach. It is such a comfortable home and has everything you can possibly need during your stay. Watching all the boats go up and down the Pine River channel from the front porch is never ending entertainment. At the other end of the short block you are at the public Lake Michigan beach. Beach chairs and beach towels have been provided for you to use. It is an easy walk into town for shopping and restaurants. And a shout out to the neighbors who are friendly and helpful. We already have our next visit booked.

Fantastic location! Walkable to the beach / lighthouse, as well as downtown Charlevoix for meals & exploring town. The cottage was super clean, had all the necessary essentials, and was perfect for our short stay! Highly recommend this spot. If I had to list one drawback to this place, it would be it doesn't have air conditioning (which we knew going in from reading prior reviews, and it not being listed in the amenities). Given we were there in June, we took a chance and it worked out. It did start to get quite hot into the upper 80's one of the days we were there, but there's a lovely cool breeze off the water, and with all windows in the house open -- it wasn't too bad.

Adorable three bedroom cottage located minutes from Lake Michigan! Amenities were great. Grab a coffee and look at the boats coming and going from Lake Michigan to Lake Charlevoix. Or grab a cocktail and watch the sunset! A short walk into town where you will find a mix of restaurants and unique shops. We only wished we had stayed longer!! Hoping to come back next year!!

Great location, clean place, nice room to hang out - note, no A/C but fans were very helpful!

This place was adorable and very roomy and close to the beach and boardwalk and downtown area. It truly was everything we expected and more. I would stay here again while visiting Charlevoix.

The property has everything to make a perfect home away from home. I love the way it's decorated and everything is comforatable. The location is close to the pier and beach which is my favorite place to go. You can also walk to town and the neighborhoods with the mushroom houses.

We had a great time at the cottage. It was welcoming from the chairs and swing up front to the fire pit located in the back. We were walking distance to the beach (great for sunsets), downtown and the mushroom houses. The cottage was clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beds were super comfortable and we woke feeling refreshed each day for a new adventure. My family can’t wait to return to the cottage again!

Fabulous place, loved the proximity to the downtown and the water. Great time, would like to come back.

We love the beach cottage. Just steps from the Lake Michigan beach and park and an easy walk to town along the Pine River Channel. I can sit for hours on the front porch and watch the boats come and go on the Pine River including the Beaver Island Ferry. The house is so comfortable with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths it feels like home. It is decorated beautifully and you have everything you need. We have already booked our stay for next year. Can't wait to come back.

This was our second stay at the cottage, and we love everything about it. It is steps from the beach and town, and the neighborhood is ideal for walking. We enjoyed having the patio grill for family meals. The weather was perfect to sit on the porch and watch the boats pass through the canal. The kids collected lots of stones, and made lots of memories! We'll be back again next year.

We love the beach cottage. The location is prime, with both the beach and town steps away. The house is bright and clean, and fully stocked with everything needed for a great vacation.

The lighthouse and lake is right across the street. The mushroom houses are within walking distance. The town is very close as well. We love it!

If you are a beach lover, you will love this location less than a minute walk from the beach. The walk downtown is less than five minutes. Cottage is super cute and clean—loved the nautical theme. We would stay again!

The Cottage at Charleston was adorable and very comfortable. It is close to the downtown and the waterfront. Our hosts were very accommodating to our needs. We definitely would stay there again if we ever go back to the area.

This was the perfect place to enjoy time with the family! The beach cottage has all the comforts of home, and the relaxing atmosphere of the beach. My granddaughter was thrilled to find the beach and playground just steps away. The walkway to town was really convenient. My favorite spot was on the front porch swing watching the boats go by, and listening to the water. Oh, and the sunsets! Just a short walk onto the pier for a prime view. We'll be back here again next year.

This cottage was perfect for us. It’s very nicely decorated and comfortable. The location is also great within a block to the beach and pier and a few short blocks to the town. Hope to come back next year.

This is the second time we have stayed at the beach cottage. The cottage is comfortable and beautifully decorated. It is steps from the Lake Michigan Beach and 2 blocks to downtown providing easy access to shopping and restaurants. From the front porch you can watch all the boats come and go in the Pine River along with the sunsets over Lake Michigan at night. Plus, the neighbors are wonderful. We have already booked at stay next year.

Very clean and well kept pkace

Beautiful home is a great location. Would definitely stay there again.

The property was perfect!

This property was the perfect spot for my family of five. A one minute walk to get to the beach and a 5-10 minute walk to downtown. We didn't have to use our car all week. The house was charmingly decorated and offered everything you would need for a relaxing beach vacation. The owners were prompt in responding to any questions I had about the cottage. Overall it was a great rental experience!

We loved this house! Perfect size for 4 adults and a dog. It was clean and well maintained. It's in a great location - close to the beach and within walking distance to town. We would definitely stay here again.

Our family has been coming to this cozy and charming cottage for years now. It offers everything you need and is very accommodating. The decor is modern, beautiful and it’s alway clean and tidy inside. We LOVE how easy it is to get everywhere! It takes minutes to walk to the lake, it’s a short stroll downtown, to the marina and much more. The location of the cottage is perfect and offers breathtaking views of the boats passing in the canal. We’ve made this gem cottage a summer tradition and look forward to heading back every year.

This property was very dirty. The first thing I noticed was garlic wrapped in foil sitting on the sink of the hall bathroom. Brown ants were all over the floors. The sheets on the back bedroom were dirty and the skirt around the bed was covered in dog hairs. The kitchen sink smelled awful. This cottage was very disappointing. Pictures can be very deceiving!!!!

We recently stayed at this enjoyable beach cottage for a long weekend the end of June. Although unseasonably warm that particular weekend, with high humidity - we had all the fan's running due to the fact there is no air conditioning. But that certainly didn't keep us from enjoying the location to town, beautiful inlet views of boats coming in and out and LOVED how close the beach was to Lake Michigan! This home was so clean, decor was very fitting and detailed and nice upgraded furniture to enjoy! Would definitely stay again!! The front porch was comfortable to sit out - close to town amenities - perfect home to enjoy a getaway in!! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home!! The Kennedy's & Hartnett's

Charlovoix is beautiful. Cottage was immaculate and perfect for 6 people. Extra bonus is that dogs are allowed.

This cottage was decorated so very nicely. This place has a great size kitchen with a good size dining area, which provide all the cooking supplies needed. All the beds were extremely comfortable (I slept on all of them), and the sheets smelt and looked very clean. The location was a minutes walk to the beach, playground and downtown. The only minus was that there is no air conditioner in the house, put plenty of fans, which blew more hot air. It got very hot inside the house, upwards of 85 degrees inside. This was not fun with a toddler, especially since the kids room is the hottest. I did not read anywhere when I booked that there was no a/c in this house. The nights when it was cool, we opened all the windows, it just became extremely uncomfortable in the day, especially if you are cooking in the kitchen. This stay would have been a perfect 5 star if they had a/c, and we weren’t so uncomfortable on the hot summer days.

The cottage is very comfortable, super clean and very convenient. Loved being across the street from the beach and an easy walk to town. We traveled with our adult daughters, their husbands and a dog and even though one couple had a room with twin beds, it was fine. Cottage is small but well designed and very quiet. Master bedroom and bath a plus. We’d love to stay again.
