    Amy ,
    • Baywatch is the perfect home base for exploring Leelanau. We had the opportunity to stay here from September to February, while house-hunting. It gave us time to get to know the area, while living very comfortably. Hearing the waves at night and spotting an occasional deer in the woods is so relaxing. Having all of the amenities, including coffee maker, dishwasher, microwave, etc. made it feel like home. This property is very well maintained and the owners are terrific.

    • We had an amazing vacation here at the cottage! Just as described, it was clean and neat with a nice kitchen and comfy beds. We loved the beautiful views out to the blue-green bay from all the front windows. We especially enjoyed the shady front porch, swing and lovely garden. The beach is child friendly, too, and just across the street. Thank you for one of our best vacations ever.
