House was great. Pool was clean and warm only thing we didn’t know how to turn pool lights on but we had a blast! Walk to beach was easy and the beach was beautiful. Linen was exceptional and the kitchen was very well equipped. Thank you for a lovely weekend with our family!

Great house

This house blew away our expectations. The pool, screened in porch, putting green, and location all made for a great stay for our family. Communication with the rental company was very easy. We will be back!

Gezellige Huis is the Place to Stay---5 Stars

Love the fact that the photos really capture the true essence of the property. The bunk beds were even better than expected from a privacy perspective. The pool was a huge hit with our little ones...The water temp was perfect and it was immaculate. Didn't expect the putting green in the back of the property...Kids and adults loved it equally. Very therapeutic!!! The home was clean, practical and very comfortable. Loved the screened in porch for card games in the evening or coffee in the morning. The location was absolutely perfect. We rented a golf cart from Green Mast EV...Ask for Art! Not only did the kids love the upscale golf cart, but it also made access to everything super easy including the beach. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to explore the Union Pier/ New Buffalo area. It is very quite at night and peaceful. You do hear the train at times during the evening but it isn't too bad. The bathrooms are a little tight and the laundry room is small but not worth taking away from a 5-star rating. Enjoy this special place!!!

Great vacation, great house!

This is a fantastic house, it's just as gorgeous as the pictures if not better. I was worried the weather would be too cool for swimming but even at 70 degrees we were swimming all day long and it was sunny and beautiful - with no bugs! We will be returning.

SO MUCH FUN!

We vacation every year in Michigan and we absolutely had the best time! We were excited to go beforehand, but oh my goodness, we were even more pleasantly surprised with all of the new renovations to the house! The house was equipped with EVERYTHING we need....beach towels, beach toys, pool toys and a fully stocked kitchen. The beds were super comfy and my kids were elated with the new addition of the bunkbeds! And the location was wonderful -- a short walk to both the bakery for morning donuts and coffee, and a short walk to the beach. The smoke alarm went off midweek and when we contacted Bluefish after hours, they were extremely quick to respond and sent someone to fix it. We could never figure out how to turn the pool lights on, but everything else was awesome. We cannot wait to return!!!!!!

Perfect home, perfect pool!

Our family of five stayed in this home over July 4th and absolutely loved it. The house itself is beautiful and a perfect set up for one or two families. Linens, towels and beach towels were all high quality, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed - coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes, etc. The pool is perfect and has an electric cover - always a must for us with young kids - and of course we had s'mores around the fire pit! The location is excellent on a quiet side street - a quick morning walk to the bakery for donuts - or to the market to pick something up. And just two blocks to Townline Beach. We brought scooters to ride there but more often than not we just walked. I asked my husband if he had any criticism of the house and the only thing either of us could come up with is they need a better wine opener (we broke a couple corks). Clearly, there's not much negative feedback to give! :) We will most definitely be back, this is a wonderful rental home and I hope we get the chance to visit again.
