GREAT STAY AT BEACH HOUSE

We had a wonderful stay at the beach house. Plenty of room for everyone and all the amenities that anyone would need. Clean and well-maintained. The views from the house were tremendous and the 4th of July fireworks over the lake were a bonus. We never ran out of things to do: going into Traverse City and looking at shops, touring the coast and visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes park, going out to fine restaurants, or just hanging out on the beach or in the boat. We all wished we had more time to spend there. I will definitely go back for another visit, and would recommend this place to anyone.

The beach house was amazing! We cannot say enough about your place, it was perfect for our wedding week and the weather was more than we could have hoped for. Everyone had a great time at the bonfire and beach the night before our wedding - especially the kids! Thank you so much for being so accommodating to our group and for helping us make the week so great for everyone! We really appreciate it and hope we will make it back to the beach house in the near future!

The beach house in Williamsburg was wonderful and we all had a great time! I can honestly say that this is one of the best and cleanest homes, by far, we have ever rented. My sister said that usually by the end of the week she can't wait to get home to her own bed, but this week the beds at the house were so comfortable that she wasn't in any hurry to get home to hers. We appreciated the large plush towels and many, many other conveniences like the TV's, variety of pots and pans, and the gas grill to accommodate such a large family, which we often don't find at other rental properties. We had fun hunting for Petoskey stones and building sand castles. We took a couple of day trips and also visited Pirates Cove and Moomer's Ice Cream. Of course, some of the adults made a trip to the casino too. You have a very beautiful place and beautiful area - thank you again for all of your hospitality and help to make this vacation a very comfortable and relaxing time away from our homes.

My entire family thoroughly enjoyed our trip due, in no small way, to our wonderful accommodations. The rooms were very comfortable and allowed us to spread out with all ages doing things they wanted to do when they wanted to do them. We especially enjoyed s'mores on the beach almost every night and early morning walks along the coast line. We were very impressed with the whole Traverse City area including the downtown, beaches, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and the Mission Peninsula. We took a cruise on the Manitou and spent a day at a fair south of town. All and all it was a busy but very relaxing week. We will definitely keep your home in mind for future vacations.

First time to the Traverse area and what a beautiful place it was! This house was perfect for our family of 16 - a great location with plenty of space and such nice amenities! We swam, fished, and went boating - all just out the door and down the steps of the house! Ventured out one day to Sleeping Bear Dunes and had a blast racing down and back up the dunes! Great fun for all ages!! Spent another day at a nearby orchard picking 50 lb. worth of cherries! One afternoon the adults were even able to slip away to a few of the wineries which were just fantastic and within twenty minutes of the house. Thanks for taking such good care of us and making our trip to Michigan a memorable one for my family! We absolutely loved staying at this house and hope to be back!

Anniversary trip

Review Submitted: 07/08/10
We stayed here for my parent's anniversary.We had 16 people--aged 1-73 and everyone had a great time. Four families total and everyone had their own room with a room for the kids. The beach was great for the kids and the water was shallow so they could go in. Bring water shoes, the bottom is rocky--but we got that information in our welcome letter. The house was beautiful. The pictures on the website are accurate. No pictures of the bedrooms other than the bunk room, but the beds were clean and comfortable. Although we said we had to go back to the cottage, it is by no means a cottage, but a lovely house. We were there the first weekend of Cherry Festival and got to see the Blue Angels as well as fireworks, but the property was enough out of town that we could be away from the crowds. The owners were helpful--we had several questions before we even got there and they were answered promptly via email. All in our group would recommend this place again.

Accommodations at this vacation house were excellent and what a great location! Loved the golf courses just down the street at the Grand Traverse Resort. Also spent a day at Sleeping Bear Dunes - a must see while visiting this area! Thanks so much!
