The house was very nice, but it had some minor problems, like the shelf in the refrigerator was off track, causing our food to fall through I was scared we was going to break it so because it was so unstable, the shelf that holds the glasses was not really stable either so we bought paper cups and plates so we didn't have to touch the shelf. The bathrooms were perfect, and all the living areas were very comfortable for my family and me. The rooms were very clean, and there were enough beds for everyone

Great for families

The home was beautiful and a great space for our group of 10. There was lots of room to spread out and the kitchen was great and well stocked for lots of meals at the house. We loved how close it was to the beach and visited every day sometimes twice.

Closing summer

It was our 4th or 5th year at Miller beach area and loved as we did in previous times. First time at this house and we really liked. Good location (close to the beach), the house was very comfortable, with plenty of space. We were a combination of adults, kids and one dog.

Miller Beach

The house is in a wonderful location to the beach. It is a short walk on quiet roads to the beach. My family and my two brother's families enjoyed the week immensely. Even with the weather in the 70s, we were able to enjoy time in the water and on the beach.

Lovely Miller Beach home!

This home was a five minute walk from the beach and we enjoyed amazing sunsets everyday! The layout and amenities of the home were perfect for family to meet and spend time together, both indoors and out. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in yard immensely. This is the second property that we’ve rented from this host-she’s great and very responsive.

As Advertised!

Everything advertised online in the description about the property is accurate. Great home for the family to spend the week. Can hang out inside or out. Walk to the beach is 5 minutes and not much beach traffic making for a relaxing experience. Will definitely look up this place again for our next trip to Lake MI.

Great home base for Volleyball Tourney

Great central location for getting to the various sports complexes our kids played at. Two families (4 adults and 5 teens) for very comfortably. Lots of space to spread out and/or gather together for games. Kids loved ping pong and piano and grown ups loved the easy access to the lovely beach. Margaret was very friendly, accessible and accommodating. House was clean and beautifully decorated. We had a really nice stay.
