Fabulous property! Clean with fantastic furnishings. The bed was amazing, nice hot shower, and everything in the kitchen was also high end. Hot tub, chairs, around the fire pit and game room all resort quality. It was just the two of us and our little dog so we did not need to use the apartment but did check it out - also so clean and cozy. This place is great for two families or one big family one. Communication was quick and accurate. We can wait to return in the summer. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Highly recommend.

Clean, well-appointed pet-friendly stay! Very relaxing and comfortable! We really enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking some nice meals. The hosts definitely have an eye for detail. Great location, too - we went on a nice beach walk with the dogs at Mears State park nearby.

Perfect Family Getaway!
We just wrapped up an incredible week at this spotless, spacious retreat—and we can’t say enough good things! From the moment we booked, the owner was lightning-fast with responses and went out of her way to accommodate every question and request.The house is loaded with thoughtful touches: a fully stocked s’mores kit, family board games everywhere, and even extra games tucked into the game room. That game room (plus the full apartment above it) was such a bonus—our teens practically lived there!Inside, you’ll find absolutely everything you need for a week-long stay with 5–7 people. The bedrooms are roomy, the living areas never felt cramped, and the WiFi was rock-solid—perfect for remote check-ins and streaming movie nights.Outside, there’s a firepit area that became a favorite gathering spot, plus a generous yard with space to toss a football or Frisbee. When you’re ready for a change of pace, it’s just a safe 1.4-mile walk or bike ride to downtown’s shops and restaurants.If you’re looking for a hassle-free, family-friendly home away from home with all the extras you could want, look no further.

Thoughtful Accommodations
We will never forget our time in Pentwater at the "octagon" The property was so well appointed, the hosts had really thought of everything, even added bonuses like all the yummy items for s'mores. Check in was super easy and the few questions I had were answered quickly and helpfully by the host. The fact that there was a separate "apartment" in the back was a plus since we were two families traveling together. Also, we all enjoyed playing ping pong in the game room and hot tubbing in the evening. The home is close to the adorable downtown area also. I am not sure if we will return to Michigan BUT if we ever do we will definitely choose to stay here again. It was awesome!!!

Great birthday getaway
Just a couple ladies, looking for a couple days away from family, preferably with a hot tub.
The octagon was perfect and Hannah was very accommodating and pleasant to communicate with throughout the booking until checkin.
Would recommend and stay again!!
