Check in was smooth. We were a bit early and the host graciously allowed us to drop our stuff off before heading to our event. Location was close to the lake and restaurants. We had a fantastic lunch at Fatty Lumpkins. Highly recommend. House was clean. AC kept the house nice and cool although it is very loud. No complaints since it was 90 outside. Wish the house had a coffee pot vs a single server Keurig machine. We are coffee drinkers and that was a bit painful to deal with that, but really not a big deal. It’s a bit of a gamble booking a place like this when you’re not familiar with the community, but we were satisfied.

Rough start but it ended well!

Perhaps it was the cleaning crew but the dishwasher was ran with dish soap. You will need to stream your own Netflix or whatever streaming device you use and definitely not enough toilet paper. A trip to Meijer's for dishwasher soap not dish soap and toilet paper we were settled. The location was great if your a bike enthusiast. It's actually a couple blocks to get on the bike trail but you can ride it to the beach and have a nice lunch. Its great if you want a relaxing week at the beach.

Cute house. Well appointed. Great walk in closet for hanging coats and storing suitcases etc. Conveniently located. Close to restaurants and beach. Quiet neighborhood. Fenced in yard; a life saver for us while traveling with our dog. Easy check-in/check-out. Hosts were super nice and easy to get in touch with. Our family would definitely stay here again!
