Another wonderful stay

Oak Dunes is a wonderfully kept home and property! The homeowner keeps the home stocked with all the essentials for relaxing. It truly is a home away from home! It is cozy and inviting and a short distance either by car or on foot to many eateries, shops, wineries/distilleries, state parks and beaches. There are many fun fall activities during the season. Looking forward to our next stay!!

Great SW MI Stay!

Betsy's home is great for a group. We loved the open concept living space, screened-in porch and firepit. It is in a great location walkable to The Whist Stop, Red Arrow Roadhouse and the beach. Small detail, but especially loved that they have and soap for all of the sinks which I find rare in rentals in :)

Perfect home for our trip to celebrate a graduation & successful school year. Plenty of room for 7 adults & 3 children. Very clean & comfortable space with everything we needed for our stay. A short walk to a beautiful beach, The Whistlestop & gelato! We have traveled to this area several times & this is one of the nicest rentals we have found. Highly recommend it! Betsy provided clear check in & out instructions & lots of great info on nearby restaurants & places to visit. Hope to stay here again!

Beautiful home

We have stayed in this house every summer for the last several years. Every year we see the improvements the owners make and it just gets better every time. Literally a five minute walk to the beach. Also, a five minute walk to The Whistle Stop store and The Roadhouse bar. Less than a ten minute walk the other direction to the shops at Union Pier. Hope to go back every summer for years to come.

Pure Michigan Vibes

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. The check in process was very smooth and efficient. This house provided all the amenities mentioned in the listing and we didn't have to bring a lot of extra items. It is a short walk to the beach which was helpful for our young kids. Since we would spend all day at the beach, we didn't even get to take advantage of the screened in porch or the fire pit outside. The Whistle Stop is a short walk around the corner which made for easy mornings to get some coffee and donuts. I highly recommend this house and my family and I can't wait to stay there again.

Beautiful Harbor Country home

Beautiful Harbor Country home. Situated close to the bike trail adjacent to the Red Arrow highway. A five-minute walk to the closest public beach. The property features a screened in wrap around porch, a fire pit, and a gas grill. Inside the place was spotless with more than enough room for us. Six to eight people would be comfortable here. It's one of the best places we've stayed in this area. Highly reccomend.

This was our third time staying here and we absolutely loved it! Everything was top-notch and we didn't want to leave! My two boys cried when we had to go home, but we hope to come back next year! Our favorite part is the large, wrap-around, screened-in porch. The bedrooms are all comfortable and the beach is amazing! Thanks for a memorable vacation!
