Everything I Needed

I came to Glen Arbor for some "me" time and this condo was perfect! Listening to the Crystal River run and the waves of Lake Michigan crash from the porch was definitely a highlight. It was just me, but this would be perfect for a small family and the condo was equipped with everything you would need. Clean, peaceful, and a great location!

Family of five

Beautiful resort area. The view and location to the beach and Glen Arbor was unbelievable. Seeing Lake Michigan and Crystal River from the living room and walking right out to both is unbeatable. The property had just enough space for us to relax and enjoy dinners and family game time. Our only disappointment was poor communication with Vacasa and a poorly cleaned condo.

Off to a BAD Start!

Arrived at 4:00 as instructed for check-in. Lockbox wouldn't open. After several attempts by wife and me, I texted the Vacasa 800 number. Got empathic reply. Would check into it. Offered to have someone come to our aid. Yes, please. No one. More texts. "Housekeeping was there earlier in th e day and had no problem." Oh, it's US! After two hours, threatened to leave and demand full refund. At two and one half hours, a rep (nice lady) walked us through the problem. Seems they have been having some issues with this box. She walked us through and by 6:30 p.m. we were in. By that time we were fried. Vacasa gets a 1 rating for very poor customer service!!!

Not Real Happy

Beautiful location but the unit fell a little short. The TV did not work and the local support team never did fix it. Other concerns surfaces but they were sent to the local managers. Not our best stay.

Birthday Getaway

Came to Glen Arbor for my Birthday from Cleveland, OH and it was well worth it! This beautiful house was well worth it as well. It was clean, roomy, and had all the amenities we needed. Situated right off Crystal River and just a bridge walk over to the Bay - it was beyond perfect! Every night it housed a beautiful sunset for us. Book this before it gets booked!

Spring 2023 at the Homestead

Wonderful things about this property: 1. The location makes it easy to explore the area 2. The view of the river and lake from the living room/kitchen is fantastic. 3. Easy access and close by parking. 4. We felt safe. 5. The condo was clean as a whistle and pretty well stocked for the essentials. 6. The price point was a great value. Other things about this property: 1. Pots and pans need to be replaced. They are crusty and old. 2. Heater/AC unit in master bedroom is loud. 3. New door stop needed on secondary bedroom bathroom door. I would recommend this property for a rental!

Perfect spot for end-of-summer weekend

Without a doubt, the location sold us on this property. Lake Michigan is a two-minute walk from the back door and our kids would have been happy to never leave the beach. Very convenient space for family with two kids who had their own separate bedroom and bathroom. Kitchen has tons of supplies, including slow-cooker, etc.

Lovely unit lovely view

The condo was lovely inside. We enjoyed the view and very short walk to the beach. Because the units have older construction you could hear EVERYTHING upstairs. It would be really nice if the unit had beach chairs for out of state visitors. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the area.
