Very nice property but does need some repairs. The upper deck floor boards are rotted through in places and I thought it unsafe to use.

Property is large and easy walk to Miller Beach. Close to restaurant, ice cream, and little grocer. Appreciate access to community Pool. Would be a 5 star property for family stay if better maintained and price had not increased significantly. Have stayed at this property 2 times in past couple years. Cost went up significantly this stay. Several things were broken and house needs more thorough cleaning/maintenance. Property management was very responsive but could not fix gas grill to use during stay. White couch cover very stained and our feet were black from walking on floors.

Everything was very nice. It was odd that there were no mattress pads on the beds upstairs. Also the master bath shower head needs to be cleaned.

Great home set up and a 10 min walk to pretty beach

This town house was set up well for family and friends to enjoy Michigan together. The primary bedroom is large with a king bed and an ensuite bath. The other 2 bedrooms on the second floor include bunk beds with a trundle then another room with a queen bed. The shared 2nd floor bath is good for children. And the 4th bed on the first floor is a twin with a trundle. The full bath on the first floor makes this a great guest room for teens or older guests who cannot navigate stairs well. The kitchen is well appointed and the beach is a 10 min leisurely walk away from the house. For our stay the tv remote wasn’t working well but it wasn’t missed as the teens still found a way to cast to it from their laptops.

We were disappointed in the lack of communication with our plumbing problem. We made due with the other bathrooms.

Great vacation spot!

We had a great time at this property! It could have used a few more dish towels and communication with the rental company went just ok. But, it is a great location and you can’t beat the easy walk to the beach, ice cream shop, and market along with the great pool.
