    Location

    Very clean and cannot beat the location! 2 blocks to beach and 2 blocks to downtown shopping, restaurants and ice cream! Check in was done before we arrived and were able to get right into property. Kitchen had everything we needed and then some. Plenty of supplies in both kitchen and bathrooms. Truly was zero need to bring the extras! My son forgot his toothbrush but when we arrived this property had wrapped new toothbrushes with toothpaste in the bathrooms waiting! Little things like this is what made this stay great! Property manager was very responsive. A/C went out second night and it was a little hot but the very next morning before 7:30 we had 3 window units going they had brought in until an HVAC company could get there. House was cooled down quickly. Very nice property and might not be on the water but really can’t beat the location!

    What a great place to stay. 2 coworkers and I stayed there for business. What a great location. We felt safe and secure. This location had two tables for us to work and eat from. I had Great communication with Ida. quick to respond and so friendly. I have never been to a Verbo that had so many staples at the house for you including all the different appliances, Coffee, creamer, seasonings, snacks, trash bags, I could go on for 30 minutes about all the extras. What a great location and convenient to downtown. Walking distance to everything. (during our stay was cold outside so we did not walk but would have if it was warmer) We will be back to stay again. Thank you, Ida, for making our stay comfortable.

    Awesome memories

    The property was very spacious and very clean! A lot of special touches were provided. Everyone had space to hang out but also rooms large enough to come together. close by the River Scenic Road, beautiful fall colors to see overlooking the Ausable River. Also, 2 blocks from train tracks that go thru town. Grandsons loved it! Close to beaches which would be great for a summer vacation. We will be back. Thank you for a great stay!

    Great house for mid to large sized group

    We stayed in mid-August. The house is located about 5 blocks from downtown East Tawas and the marina/beach—an easy walk. The house is very clean, and very well-appointed. Plenty of cookware, cutlery, etc. They supply some snacks, a loaf of bread, eggs, milk, and water bottles. Each bedroom has a tv and Roku. Two living spaces. The owners were very helpful and responsive. We accidentally left an item, which they notified us about and sent it by mail back to us. We are definitely going to be staying here again! Thank you!!
