We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect — close to everything we needed with an easy walk downtown and to the beach. The home itself was welcoming, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. A special shoutout to the property owner, who was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place and would absolutely stay again!

Another great stay!

This was our 3rd and it was another fantastic stay. John is very responsive and super nice. Location is great- easy to walk to town, the beach and there is a small beach access within a 2 minute walk that is perfect for catching sunset. Great place. Great location. Great host.

Great location and wonderful house!!

It was the perfect spot, half way between Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix - everything was walking distance from the home. There were bikes available, as needed too! We had friends stay in the cottage in the back, which was alot of fun. We were able to find everything we needed and had a wonderful time touring the area! Climbed Sleeping Bear Dunes did zip lining too! A great vacation house!

House review

The house and furniture were old and dated like other comments said. Unlike the other reviews that said it was clean when we arrived there were spiderwebs and spiders in most corners of the ceilings in the downstairs and upstairs. And the front sunroom had a musty smell with moss and mold in the windows. The positive was the house is in a great location to the downtown and had a good amount of space for our family.

Love this place!

Second time at this location and am currently in process of reserving for year 3! Our family rents both the main house and cottage. There is a good size back yard and fire pit. Easy walk to downtown. There is a beach access super close perfect for watching sunsets. We had a small maintenance issue and our host was on it!!! He’s great. We cannot wait for next year!!

Easy, Excellent location

We stayed one week. House had everything you need for a vacation, including beach towels. Quiet location. Not fancy at all but that’s the kind of people we are. Deck was nice for a meal. Upstairs bedrooms and bath were clean. Owner was very communicative and even said we could check in a few hours early. Definitely would rent again because it was nice not fancy.

Great house and location. Easy check in (the electronic lock seemed glitchy after the first day, so we didn’t lock it)Kitchen was well equipped - but stuff left in fridge.There were dished left in the dishwasher (clean) but am I really responsible for putting them away? Laundry room had clean sheets piled on a chair and more in the dryer. Place needs a deep cleaning. But Charlevoix is meant to be enjoyed out and about and the house was perfect for chilling in. The house was comfortable- good fans and no need for air conditioning. The garbage that we had to take to curb was overflowing and susceptible to crows picking apart and needed cleaning up. I did not go on vacation to pick up / clean up after other people.

Great location with a few weaknesses

Our family of 4 (including 2 adult kids) stayed here with ample room. The check in/out was easy and owner responded to any questions/comments quickly. We enjoyed the bright, remodeled kitchen and found plenty of towels in the house, supplies in the kitchen, and laundry room detergent. The location was fantastic- a quiet neighborhood just a 10-15 minute walk to downtown, and easy walking distance to beaches. The furniture is dated but was comfortable enough. A few negatives: the WiFi was sketchy- challenging for trying to do a bit of work remotely. There were a lot of big black ants, primarily by the back door with a few random ones in other areas. The blinds weren't up in one of the bedrooms (they were in a box next to the window, and fairly easy to put up, though). And cleanliness was an issue, such as food residue on several dishes/utensils and drawers that needed to be wiped out, an odd smell in the main floor bathroom with an old washcloth behind the toilet, and the shower was not real clean. (I mentioned this to the owner and he said he forwarded it to the cleaning lady). A good price for the location, but wouldn't highly recommend unless the issues mentioned were addressed.

Great Balance

The house served our stay very well. Walking distance to Depot beach, Lake Michigan beach and to down town. Extra bikes were provided and we golfed only 4 blocks away. Never used the A/C as the home stays very cool. Kitchen had what we needed and we used it daily. Overall a very comfortable week, great location and reasonable cost! I would book again for 2023.

We had the best time!

We rented the house and cottage. It was prefect. Plenty of room for everyone to have space. The deck in the back was a great place to hang out. Backyard was big enough to play with the kids and even had a fire pit. John checked to make sure we made it in and everything was good. Our family decided to book this property again and are already excited for next year!

We spent a week as a family in both the main house and guest cottage. Less than 10 minutes to lattes every morning kept everyone happy. We didn’t cook much, but the kitchens had everything we needed. We enjoyed the bikes and tennis rackets, too. Thanks John!

Ok Stay

We had an ok time at this rental. The house is older and starting to show its age. The kitchen, however, has been updated and was fairly well appointed, but a pair of salad tongs would be appreciated. The master bedroom smelled a bit musty, but it was dark and quiet at night. We did not find any of the beds to be very comfortable, especially the twin beds. (When I stripped the beds before leaving, I noticed a tag on the box spring that said 2004.) We were initially concerned about cleanliness because the master bath had a dirty, hair filled razor in the shower and there were cobwebs in the master bedroom. We contacted John, the owner, who assured us that the house had been cleaned prior to arrival. The biggest issue, however, was the ants, which were everywhere. John had ant hotels scattered throughout and told us that the house had been sprayed when I mentioned the issue. He phoned us on our check out date to see how the visit had gone, and I mentioned the ants again. I assume he will address this further. The main thing the house has going for it is the proximity to downtown Charlevoix (about a 15-minute walk) and Michigan beach (even closer). Beautiful beach! Highly recommend it as it has sand and is a wonderful spot for catching the sunset. Depot Beach on Lake Charlevoix is also within walking distance but is very rocky (water shoes are highly recommended). We also enjoyed the sunroom at the front of the house although it tends to get a strong plastic smell when it’s warm outside (windows can be opened to alleviate that). The plastic “wicker” type chairs are also starting to break down. The backyard is small, but there’s a fire pit and a propane grill. We enjoyed a few surprise visits from a cute fawn whose mother was clearly stashing it there during the day while she foraged for food. We highly recommend Sunshine Charters for anyone wanting to get out on the water on a catamaran for a couple of hours. You can easily walk to the launch point downtown. Also, Royal Farms, which is about a 15-minute drive south of Charlevoix (on the way to Traverse City), has wonderful pies (cherry berry is a favorite). Call ahead to ensure that they have some pies available or pre-order. They also have tasty ciders available there to sample and/or purchase. We love the Charlevoix area and have been visiting for the past few years. Thanks VRBO! I’m not sure that we’d stay at this rental again but for a large group, it could represent good value.

This property is in a beautiful neighborhood just a short walk to downtown Charlevoix. We loved sitting out in the sunroom where it is very cheery and comfortable! The kitchen is well stocked so we were able to cook our meals. We had great communication with John. He even offered his bikes in the basement for us to use. He even invited us out to the backyard for a campfire. We had a lovely stay. Thanks John!

Location, location, location

This was our third time staying at this property since 2010 and we choose to stay here for the great northside location just 6 blocks from downtown Charlevoix and minutes to Mount McSauba Beach. Road noise from Highway 31 is a loud but manageable at night with the windows closed. The northside location allows you to avoid the congested town traffic and frequent bridge openings. Home highlights: - Comfortable, airy, screened front porch with lots of seating. - Fully stocked kitchen with all you need to prepare meals at home. - Sunny deck with lots of railing space to hang your wet towels! Gas grill in backyard. - Several adult/big kid bikes available to use. - Fast and nice washer and dryer for mid-vacation laundry - Two full bathrooms, one upstairs, one downstairs. Overall a clean and comfortable home base from which to enjoy all Charlevoix and the surrounding area has to offer.

Great location

It was a wonderful location! Cleanliness was an issue. Multiple ants, spiders and spiderwebs. Questionable if dishwasher worked very well as soap was not dispensed and dried food on some dishes. We called about no hot water and received immediate response as heater just needed to be adjusted beyond vacation mode. Grass not cut until 2 days before we left. Lots of silverware and dishes available. We brought our own linens due to Covid and I was glad. A plethora of linens available but they all seemed very well worn. The front porch was wonderful. House set in a charming neighborhood. It was great to have a washer and dryer available and AC with the warm weather. Our issue was it needed to be cleaner.
