A beautiful home that sits in a cul de sac, that was perfect for our extended family trip! We had a wonderful time, plenty of room for everyone and a short walk to the pool and pickleball court. The upstairs loft and bedroom was perfect for the cousins to hang out.

Perfect house for extended family vacation!

We loved our stay and everyone agreed that the house was very well equipped! There was plenty of seating place and private space for everyone. The driveway and huge garage was perfect for toddlers to play. We enjoyed the pool several times and it was just a short walk to get there. Wonderful vacation!

Dune vacation

rental process was easy and Mark was a great host. The house was nice and there were a lot of activities nearby. Our grandchildren enjoyed the pool, the dunes, and the beach. We also checked out several lighthouses in the area. It was a great family vacation.

Beautiful house in a great location. The layout of the house was perfect for our group of 8 friends. We didn't have time to enjoy the activities available, but there was plenty to do at the house and the Floradale ComplexThere were a couple of issues that I gave feedback to the owner after our stay. He planned to make changes on those.I would absolutely rent this property again!

The house is big and we had plenty of room! It fit our group perfect and was close to everything. Tucked at the end of street made us feel safe and that nothing would be touched on our trailers. Great trip and Mark was very helpful on the check in.

Great Trip

My girlfriends and I chose this location to get together with all of our children (12 total). The kids ranged in ages from 6-16. We had a great week and the house was perfect for our group. The kids loved sleeping in the bunk room and the hot tub was a nice treat. The big table was perfect for meals and our nightly bingo. We spent lots of time exploring the area and late afternoons at the pool.

Great Space

We have rented severl homes in several states. This was an outstanding property. Even had a well stocked kitchen. Lots of space to spread out. The garage is a huge benefit if you have lot of toys. We had a minor issue that was resolved quickly. We plan to come back next year.

Plenty of space for a big group!

We enjoyed our time in this spacious house. The pool, shuffleboard courts, pickle ball court, tetherball are all an easy 5-10 minute walk. The beach is not a great place to swim, but the public beach just down the road is nice. We also enjoyed the beach by the lighthouse. An afternoon pontoon rental on Silver Lake was great fun, as was Mac Woods Dune ride. Our only disappointment was the furnishings are a bit shabby on the front porch and the first floor.

Nice quiet location

The overall property was very nice. It is a wooded lot which provided for great shade when the kids were outside playing. Nice layout of the house for three individual families. Large living room space for everyone to gather. If there was one thing that needs improvement, is the floors were not very clean. When the babies were crawling, they had black knees and feet..

Family vacation - Grandma with 2 daugters and their families.

5 adults; 4 children aged 12 - 6. Love the area with lots of activities. Happy to enjoy the in-ground pool at the community center. Home is spacious and great that the upstairs bedroom was fun for children to have their own space with tv access. Wish some amenities were in better condition, e.g., ping pong table; lamps in upstairs bedroom. The use of a garbage disposal and a faucet hose would make clean-up easier. Overall, we had an amazing time at this home. Thank you.

August 5-12 family vacation

Our stay here was awesome! My husband and I reserved this house for ourselves, our grown children and their families. The house is huge and I loved that we could all gather in one room, and we could all fit at the dinning table together. Things we loved, the amenities in the house, hot tub, sauna and campfires, pool and tennis courts. Location couldn't be better. So many things to do within minutes. Loved the beach by the lighthouse and Silver Lake. Highly recommend Mac Dune Ride. We had several ping pong tournaments! Great time. Mark and Nick were prompt and very helpful with all our needs. We will be back!

Silver Lake

The property met our needs of 4 families with children from 1-6. We enjoyed the pool only a few times. It is a quarter mile walk there but not difficult. We really loved the Lake Michigan Little Sable Lighthouse beach about 5 miles away. The Silver Lake beach was a bit disappointing as the water access is off a dock and it looked rocky. We did not enter the lake there. We did use the Silver Lake State park which has a small beach and kayak entrance for a fee. Love the Cherry Market and Mac Woods Dune Rides. Overall a very successful stay. Mark was very helpful when we got locked out once! My fault by using the wrong code.

Spacious Home!

This home is awesome! It has lots of indoor hang space for a big group which we really enjoyed. The jacuzzi was a plus after a day out on the dunes! The only thing I wish was better was the fire pit area which was a little small/cramped for our group. But overall, everyone loved this house, and we plan on returning next year!

About the host

Hosted by Mark

Host profile image
We've owned and managed our own properties since 2012 starting in Holland, MI.

Why they chose this property

We love the knotty pine interior, size, layout and amenities of the hot tub and sauna. It has a great vibe.

What makes this property unique

Room to roam, and room to be together. What we've found is that during an extended stay that sometimes it's good for the kids to have their space and the adults to have theirs. This place has both. Several large areas throughout the home to gather - or spend time in private. The Flora Dale pool is just a couple minute's walk down the quiet path through the woods. The other Flora Dale amenities are all close by as well.
