Quiet get-away

We had a wonderful time in the Driftwood property. A short walk to the beach, quiet surroundings, comfortable and mostly private outdoor area. Amenities were generous: lots of quality beach towels, very comfortable beds with plenty of blankets and pillows, well-stocked with kitchen ware of all sorts. The location of the house being in the Paradise Villa compound ended up being a big plus. We still had privacy but were well off of Lake Shore Rd and enjoyed the Villa's own path leading close to McKinley Beach vs having to walk on Lake Shore (tho Lake Shore is by no means a busy street). Most importantly, the whole house was super clean as well as modern and beautiful.

Successful Beach Week!

Spent the week with two girlfriends and really enjoyed the cottage and the beach. The proximity to the beach was great and the cottage was very clean and tastefully decorated (minus all the toys in the living room area). Kitchen was nicely stocked with most everything we needed and everything was in working order. We got that this was a family-friendly cottage, but it would have been nice to have some adult-sized hangers. The bunk bed was extremely uncomfortable (for an adult) which was no surprise. The "kids room" was not very inviting. Could use a night stand and reading lamp. (Parking was a challenge as well. Wish there was dedicated parking spaces.)

Wonderful house and location

We had a lovely 3 night girls trip at this beautiful house. It exceeded our expectations. The house was extremely well stocked with everything you could think of (including 4 backpack beach chairs and 8 beach towels). The location was darling in a small cottage community. The walk to the beach was like walking through a fairy garden. We can't wait to return!

Great location and nice house

The house is in a prime location for walking to the beach or to general store and donut shop near Red Arrow. The house was in great condition and had everything we needed for two families. The house is located in a collection of cottages so there's no outdoor privacy, but there is a lot of charm in the shared green space that runs down the central pathway.

Great place to getaway!

This is a great house for a getaway. It is a clean and well maintained home with plenty of space to spread out. It is a block and a half to a two block walk to the public access beach. The access to the beach is a wooded pathway to a stairwell with two landings. It is certainly easier to walk down than it is back up! There is no parking by the beach entrance. The beach is very nice and well maintained. Make sure to make it down to see the sunset at least one night of your stay. There are plenty of games and books to keep adults and kids entertained. And, the internet connection is solid, which pacifies the electronically addicted. We also loved the keyless entry. Make everyone memorize the unlock code and there was no worry about who had the keys to get back in. What we wish we would have known ahead of time: 1. You need to bring your own grilling utensils, none are provided. Their book says that they are provided, but it appears some prior guest pilfered them. 2. You will need to bring your own fire wood, or you can purchase bundles at the corner store which is within walking distance. 3. You only receive 2 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom for the week. Which means you won’t have a square to spare by the end of the week if you don’t bring your own supply. 4. You should also bring dishwasher pods, dish soap, Tide pods(or similar item), and bounty towels because you are not provided with enough of those items for a week either. 5. If you want trash bags that are stronger than your typical office trash bags, you should bring them. 6. A wagon would really be beneficial. You cannot park next to the house, so a wagon would be helpful to bring items into the house from your car. And, because of the walk to the beach, it would be helpful to bring items to and from the beach. Suggestions for the owner for improving the stay: 1. Your home sleeps up to 8 people, you need 8 chairs for the dinner table and 8 chairs around the fire pit. 2. The faucet on the outside of the house with the hose connected is broken and will not shut off. The running of the water is loud and constant which becomes annoying to the person(s) using that front left bedroom. 3. You need blinds for the windows in living area. We loved the natural light, but hated feeling like we were in a fishbowl at night without privacy. 4. A wagon for guest use would be great! Overall, this is a great place to stay. We would come back and recommend to others

Reservation, check-in, check-out, and connection with property coordinator was very easy. Home is well maintained and updated. Beds were comfortable, kitchen is very well equipped.

Great place for family stays

Close to the beach, nice wooded property. Kids can have lots of fun hanging out inside and outside in the yard. Lots of toys, board games and books for all ages. Kitchen is well equipped but does not have any supplies (probably due to covid-19 concerns). Plenty of beach and bath towels provided. The house is a bit old but the place is well set up. This was our second time visiting.

Fabulous cottage, perfect location!

We absolutely loved staying at the Driftwood Inn in Union Pier! It’s clean, comfortable, roomy, and stylish. The kids loved sleeping in the bunk beds, and every bed is comfortable. We appreciated the quality of the linens — so soft! The location cannot be beat — a short walk to the lake and a short walk to the town where we enjoyed great treats from Black Currant Bakehouse and Milda’s. We have found our new family vacation tradition.

Clean

The house was clean and quite. Nice place to stay. Wish it was a little warmer during our visit. I wish the place had more toilet paper for the guest. We ran out of paper on the second day. The intercom hooked to the thermostat would start talking. The stay was very relaxing and a nice place to stay.
