Reviewer Comments: We were a group of 18 and that felt like way too many people for the layout of this house. There is no powder room on the main level, the master bath is shared. Every noise in the kitchen and family room could be heard upstairs and in the basement. Unfortunately, this property needs some serious attention. Most of the bedrooms lack dressers or any extra furniture. The pull-out couch in the basement had a huge black stain on the mattress and we were unable to use it. The porch furniture was a mish mash of chairs. There were some very old wicker pieces that should have been tossed out long ago and the cushions were filthy. The decking and stairs have some algae on them and are slippery when wet. The exterior of the home needs a power wash and a coat of paint. The landscaping is very overgrown and full of weeds. There were broken sand chairs left behind. The kitchen sink was leaking, and the AC broke in the guest house. The staff in the office worked to get things repaired as quickly as possible but it appears that the sink issue is ongoing and has not been addressed by the owners. The office staff did do a good job of communicating with us to give us updates on repairs. The cleaning done by their service on move in day was barely acceptable. The floors still had sand on them, and the glass doors were covered with fingerprints and smudges. The beds were missing top sheets and pillowcases.We have stayed in one other home in Beachwalk that was also in need of repairs and updating and this is our third trip to the resort. Bottom line is that we love Beachwalk and its amenities but wish that management would hold the homeowners to a set of standards to ensure that properties they represent are clean and safe.

It is really showing wear. The porch was extremely dirty and wicker is literally falling apart as was the railing. The worse part was the laundry room. It had exposed insulation and the dryer had a ducted tape start button. My daughter pushed and it went through the back. She was shocked. We reported it and it was fixed. Very small washer and dryer for a family house for 18. The room itself was housing area for broken chairs and fans. There was mold in the basement bathrooms. We are not complainers and have been to Beachwalk 11 times. This was disappointing for the price. Next year we have rented a different house.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Blue Star is in a great location but has seen better days. To start with the positives, it is so convenient to walk across the street to get to the beach. The family room/kitchen area is nice, spacious and has new furniture.

Unfortunately, this is really all we have to say about the positive aspects. This house needs a fresh coat of paint and some landscaping. It’s old, peeling and overgrown with hedges. It’s embarrassing how bad it looks.
We were so excited about the enclosed porch off the 1st floor master....until we stepped out onto it and saw the old, warped, moldy, ripped cushions on the furniture. Maintenance changed the light bulb for us out there and even remarked about how old it was. We didn’t sit out there one time. The 3rd floor deck is awesome too! Too bad there is no furniture up there to enjoy the view.
The downstairs sleeps quite a few.....but there are no closets, dressers, night stands or luggage racks. Very bizarre and uncomfortable for a week of living.
One last thing....the side of the house is strewn with garbage. An old grill, old patio umbrellas, old broken chairs. Honestly....this home owner just keeps collecting his rental fee and doesn’t feel the need to take care of this property. It’s disappointing to spend so much on a vacation and not be able to fully enjoy it. This was our 3rd time at Beachwalk......and while it was the most convenient location, it was definitely the least nice home.
We did report some of these issues to the rental office and were told that they knew, the owner knew and they would email the owner. We never heard back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property and location were great. We loved the house and the location. It was so close to the beach and that was perfect. The guest house was perfect for a family and the rest of the house had plenty of space. Lots of activities besides the beach and stuff to do within an hour or so. We are so coming back here in the next year or two. Curious that it didn't have a garbage disposal - maybe a city/county ordinance. Also, there were warnings about the refrigerator but they weren't prominent. Put a big sign on the front of the refrigerator about how to deal with it. We saw it but not until later after we tried to load a bunch of stuff in it. Love the house - will be back.

Loved the separate guest house especially if you have family members who don't have kids. The number 1 problem is the lack of internet service, we could hardly call and order pizza, even though we supposedly had Wifi.

Closet door in basement bedroom needs repair- comes out of it's track & knob falls off. Too crowded and noisy. Lake Michigan is wonderful. The property is okay, but the area too populated for me. Loud conversations from surrounding homes ruined quiet time on the deck. Too many cars & people.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 19 + a couple babies stayed in Blue Star for 6 nights this past August. We were delighted upon arrival to find a clean and updated house. The beds were very comphy and the linens all white and new. The bathrooms were great and the hot water supply accommodated us all just fine! The location could not be better. Our entire family was able to easily walk to the beach several times a day. The boardwalk is an amazing alternative to walking the sand dunes, yeah! We were SO thankful for the wagon provided by the rental agency to take our 2 toddlers back and forth on the boardwalk. We enjoyed nightly walks through the neighboorhood and our kids loved the playgrounds. There were just a couple things that needed attention. The first being the cable connection and the DVD player along with all the remotes. They hardly worked our entire stay. Also, the shower in the bathroom in the guesthouse is extremely tight. Impossible to shave legs in or barely turn around. The front desk staff is very warm and accommodating. We will be coming back again!!

The proximity to Lake Michigan's beautiful beach, the friendly swimming pool and water sports pond was just right. The house was well maintained, cheerful and commodious. Dining space for 14 together and a remote hide away for four suited us perfectly. The community was charming and the staff responsive and cheerful. Just right. We'll be back!

Pros: The house was well equipped with a beautiful kitchen, plenty of bathrooms, queen/full beds and a wonderful wrap around porch. The beach was clean and amazing. The pool was large and clean and the kids enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding on Kai Lake. The kids also enjoyed Sandcastle Park in the evening. Cons: The bathrooms could be cleaner, one of the paddleboards needs replaced, the playground equipment need Kai Lake is in need of repair or replacement. Overall, we loved our vacation, our house, and Beachwalk Resort... we will be back!

The large kitchen made it easy to prepare meals and it was well stocked with necessities - dish soap, dishwasher detergent, paper towel, and garbage bags. The large dining table was great for meals and games and the large sectional sofa made it easy for family TV watching. Plenty of parking was a plus. The Beachwalk Office personnel were so cordial and responsive. We needed a couple extra chairs at the table and they were delivered very quickly. We would choose Blue Star again.

We loved the multiple decks, huge living room/ dining room, beach walk right across the street and plenty of parking for our guests. A couple of things need to be repaired, the nobs on the stove, the coffee pot in the apartment didn't work with the coffee machine, and the electric skillet cord didn't work with the skillet. Everything else was great! Plenty of beds, blankets, towels... Kitchen well stocked... Porch chairs... We weren't there long enough to get the fire pit going, but it was another super cute area. Everyone was wanting to come back and I'm sure we will!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: No rugs on the floor and lots of lofted space made this an extremely loud house. Not enough kitchen towels and wash clothes available, no dish soap and the kitchen drawers although full of knives and other utensils there was no rhyme or reason to how they were stored. Just thrown into drawers. We did have a blast and would go back but just look for a different rental.

Our group of 17 - 8 adults and 9 children - had a very nice week-long stay at the Blue Star house and coachhouse in August 2021. Our group consisted of 4 families - the layout of 3-level house along with coach house worked very nicely to give each family unit their own floor and/or space and bathroom which was great. The reservation, check-in, check-out and communications with management throughout the process was wonderful. The large open living room / kitchen space was a tremendous asset and great for our larger group. Feel the best part of the house is the large wrap-around outdoor porch. The house was well appointed with proper kitchen items and supplies. Our group stayed at an adjacent house the prior summer and both houses we feel offered one of the best locations in Beachwalk with its very close proximity to the beach and a short walk to the pool. A few thoughts/recommendations: 1-The house was clean but needs greater attention to some updates to the furnishings and spaces - in particular many of the mattresses seemed very old and very uncomfortable - newer mattresses and bedding would make a tremendous improvement to our groups stay. 2- Given the large size of the living room, would have like additional seating, a large rug and improved lighting in this room. 3- Would be very helpful to have one of the beds in the lower level sleep two and at least a full-size bed to better accommodate a family on this level. 4- Access to the rear outdoor space is very challenging and not accommodating from the main house or coachhouse - opening the walkway between the coachhouse and screened porch to the rear outdoor fire pit space would help make this space more useable. 5- The large wrap-around porch is super - would be even better if it was screened in as unfortunately the deck was covered nightly with spiders. An outdoor dining table towards the front of the porch would be a great addition too.

This was the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. The location was excellent for us because it was so close to the beach. The beach was incredible. If it's super hot, wear your shoes all the way down to the water, we had one day that feet were seriously burned because of the temperature of the sand. I say wear flipflops to the water......There were a lot of other renters that were walking by the house every day, but it did not bother us at all. The beds were quality, no squishy "hot dog bun" beds. Could use some more silverware and glasses maybe, but honestly, not a single complaint! The bathtub spout on the main floor bathroom pulls down to send water to the showerhead, it took us a few days to figure out how to take a shower in there! Also, there is a hot/cold water "wash station" on the side of the garage for use after going to the beach, this also took us a day or two to find. Property could use a new grille, the one on the deck only had 2 of the 4 burners operable, and one of those was on it's way out. Could definitely use more silverware, we ran out every day. Dishes are so so, but honestly, that's what you expect in a rental, so we were not disappointed. Thank you for a great stay. We left all of our beach stuff down on the beach (our personal wagon, blankets, umbrellas, floaties, sand toys, water wings, etc.) every night and just pulled them up near the grassy areas and covered with our blankets. No one took anything the whole week, and it was great not to have to haul stuff back and forth all week. Not sure if this is for you, I figured that if someone stole something, they needed it more than we did. We didn't leave anything really of value down there. We never ran out of hot water either! and the AC worked great! Thanks again!

Great location and AC goos for hot days.

The property was clean & as shown online. We did have difficulty with the internet, but contacted manager & resolved the problem. As it’s on the main thoroughfare & next to the golf cart parking lot, it was a little noisy at times (we had infants with us so they had to be indoors to nap). We had a great time & the proximity to the beach was really wonderful.
