Everything went fine. View was amazing. Nice walking right onto the beach. Communication with the host was excellent. Easy to get in and response times were great. The only thing is it could have been cleaner. Cobwebs in the lamps and corners of the ceiling here and there. Outside of the building was pretty bad. Refrigerator had a a noise when it ran that was very annoying. So the appliances needed updating is an understatement. But overall was a quiet and pleasant stay.

This was such a perfect spot for a Michigan trip. The condo overlooks the lake and you can walk right down to the beach. The views are amazing and you're right across the street from a couple of restaurants and close to a bunch of good spots on Front st. We'll definitely stay here again when we're back.

Grout in the bathroom needs to be cleaned, looks terrible. The balcony needs a good cleaning to get rid of all the spider debris. I had to sleep in the recliner because the mattress sags in the middle and hurt my back the first night. Otherwise, it was great
