Loved the place and the proximity to downtown Alpena. We were there for the Thunderbay Thriller Gravel Bike race and the location was very convenient. We rode from the motel to the race start. We'll be back next year.

Cute place, great location, everything we needed

This property exceeded our expectations. It has been fully renovated and felt welcoming. Our family of 5 had plenty of room with the 2 queen beds and 1 pull out couch. They provided bath and beach towels, a few pots and pans, dishes, silverware and more. The location is perfect with the beach, splash pad, mini golf and farmers market all all nearby.

The location was great, across from Starlite Beach, 5 to 10 minutes to activity sites and parks. loved the 'beachy decor' in the suite. Kris was nice. Suite was in a motel setting, not what we were expecting. Limited cooking for a family.

Excellent location!

The 40 Winks was cozy, clean, & convenient to everything in Alpena. Kristen, our host, was excellent with her communication. We walked to the Alpena Farmers Market. We strolled along the shores of Lake Huron (literally across the street!) We would not hesitate returning to 40 Winks when we return to Alpena in the future.

The room was very nice. Kris did a wonderful job decorating the place to make it very warm and beachy. It’s right across the road from the beach. We also enjoyed two free concerts just down the road.

Weekend getaway

My husband and I had a great stay at this property. The renovations give a perfect relaxing beach feel. The property was very clean and quiet. It was a perfect weekend getaway for my husband and I. We would definitely stay here again. It would be a great place for kids too because the beach and a playground are right across the street.

5/5 Would Highly Recommend

This was a fantastic rental and the location was great! Great communication with the owners. Comfy and cozy and a quick walk to the beach, splash pad, park, and Farmer’s Market. We were able to cook our meals with ease. We felt very safe staying here during the pandemic and so it was easy to let go of worries and relax! We can’t wait to come back!

Great place!

Kristine was extremely helpful and a great host. The beds we're very comfortable and the place was cozy. We loved the fans especially for white noise at night. If we had any requests we would of loved a couple bottled waters in the fridge especially after a long day of travel. Thank you again Kristin for your hospitality! Can't wait to return....

A beautiful suite!

We were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations (it was a last minute booking and we didn't do as much research as we usually would). The suite had a cute beachy theme and it was very clean. My only complaint is that the beds aren't very comfortable.
