We stayed for a golf weekend, perfect location for hitting the downtown East Tawas vibe. Everything was great- we even had a pizza both nights for a snack during the playoff hockey games. We will definitely return for our next golf outing.

Apartment was clean and fairly large. Restaurant / Bar downstairs is very good. Lots of stairs to climb to get to unit. Only big negative is the late night freight trains which pass within a few yards of the building.

East Tawas vacation

This was a lovely property in a great location. We enjoy being close to town and on the lake at the same time! Property was clean and exactly as shown on line. If we had to come up with a single improvement it would be to supply a few more dishes in the kitchen. We found ourselves running out and having to wash. Excellent place

Great Location....but....

The condo had a great location: right across the street from a beach, pier, and marina. It was right around the corner from all the charming shops and above a delicious pizza place, **bonus ice cream right next door! However, there was no patio, patio furniture or assigned parking spaces that were listed as amenities. Also, it was a little sparse on the basics: paper towel, toilet paper, towels, etc. While we weren't expecting all the bells and whistles, a new more basics (like paper products) would have been appreciated. That being said.....our family had a lot of laughs and time together, just what we went for.

Big & Convenient

This place is spacious, comfortable and super convenient to everything, most shops and restaurants are in walking distance, you cannot beat the location! The beach is right across the street with a great view out the living room window. This was 4th of July weekend and really busy, never got a close parking space until the evening. Nothing marked for designated parking spots for the rental (or at least I was not told where) so we hauled all our stuff from the very back of the parking lot up all the stairs. Stairs are o.k. if you are in decent health. The sleep number bed in the master is very comfy and the other 2 bedrooms were nice & both had TV's., cable stations are limited so bring your Firestick or Roku. Not many bath towels, no beach towels, dish towels, limited cooking utensils, plates/bowls, spices etc. so make sure to bring your own if you have a bigger group of people! Bring ice too, there is not an icemaker as listed. I think the big sectional may have been reclining at one time but is disabled (so no reclining). Balcony/grill/patio furniture listed are not really usable so you may not want to count on grilling or sitting outside. A few tweaks and this place would be 100%!

Nice weekend in East Tawas

The unit looks just like the photos, albeit a little worn, but is still nicer than the hotel across the street. Issues, master bath was missing a towel bar, toilet paper fixture was missing the center piece so toilet paper was an a small stand alone rack not made for toilet paper, but functional. Bring your own facial tissues, hand soap, shampoo. Coordinate showers, as water temp changes quickly as others use water while you are showering. Street entrance and 26 step stairway could use a good cleaning. Beds and linens were clean and comfortable. Apt was certainly very acceptable and you can't beat the location. Easy access to the beach, town and main road. Lots of entertainment options, although could use some instructions on how to use tv's, air conditioners and hooking up to Wi-Fi. The positives outweigh the negatives. We will certainly consider this unit for next year's trip to East Tawas, although, we will bring a few extra items to make it more like home.

Lots of Misrepresentation

Let me start by saying I was born and raised in East Tawas, Michigan so I am aware that there are no 5 star accommodations available and we were not expecting any. Upon arriving at the property we realized it is an apartment that is located on top of a pizza shop. This was not stated anywhere in the property description and resulted in an ambiance and smell in the apartment of, you guessed it, pizza. Not the end of the world since I could eat pizza every day of the week, but it should be stated in the property discription. After we ascended the steep and very long stairway we were pleased to see that the apartment was clean and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and the sofa sectional pictured in the property discription was the most comfortable sofa I think I've ever sat on. The "balcony" as it was described is actually a 3 foot wide area that runs the length of the building and is literally on top of the pizza shop roof, so the view consists of the bay on the horizon and the business lights, ventilation units and other mechanical machinery directly in front of you. Oh and the lights. The business building lights are directly in front of you so be prepared to pull shades and still have them shining into the living room and master bedroom. A bit reminiscent of the Seinfeld episode where Kenny Rodgers chicken restaurant lit up Kramers room in a red hue. Our first morning there the refrigerator was not working, and due to the fact it was Thanksgiving day and the property owner had told me the day before he would be out of town for Thanksgiving, we purchased a cooler and iced the food we had. The next day, which was Black Friday I did email him and let him know of the problem and he did replace the refrigerator while we were out during the day. Still, one would expect that would have been caught during a pre arrival check. The owner did extend an offer of an extra days stay or a free pizza. Not sure how those values equal each other but we obviously could not extend our stay as we were going back home. We did decide to take the free pizza offer, however the owner never called me back to make the arrangements so we invested $32 into the Tawas economy by purchasing the pizza ourselves. When combined with aggravations like the heat either being smoking hot or freezing cold, vents from the pizza shop being directly outside the bedroom window, lots of traffic noise and no reserved parking, the value of this property stay quickly disappeared.

The advertisment stated that there would be three areas for parking for the tenants, actually there is no reserved parking area for the tenants. Parking is all public parking and during busy times of the day, this makes it very challenging. The apartment is very large. Housekeeping could be improved. Dirty wine glass in the great room, cob webs in the corner of the master bathroom. Drain was slow in the master bathroom sink. Kitchen was stocked well with equipment. I would recommend this to those that are young and able to climb stairs, there are 26 steps up to the apartment.

Perfect

This was the best place I’ve ever found to rent in Tawas! So CLEAN, roomy and literally the perfect location. The master bedroom is huge with a super comfy king bed. Each room has its own AC unit!!! The kitchen was well stocked with pots pans cups plates, etc. There is zero noise from the restaurant below and no food smell. Check in was a breeze and the owner was super responsive during our stay. I can’t wait to come back. This is the only place I’ll stay from now on!

Very comfortable and Fun location

This place is just as described and shown in the pictures but even more spacious in person. It is a great location if you want to explore the area, with a fantastic view. Very clean and comfortable for spending time with family, if the weather keeps you inside. As other reviewers have noted, the water temperature and pressure is a bit wonky. There is also a very steep staircase to enter the space. However my 94 year old Mom was able manage the stairs. We could smell pizza but considered that a bonus! Overall, would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Comfy. Spacious. Perfect location!

A block from downtown. Right across the street from the water. Super spacious and comfy apartment. We will definitely return. The ONLY negative (if you even want to call it a "negative"--was the long porch overlooking the water was basically inhabitable due to the 100s of giant, flesh-eating spiders. Just kidding, they weren't flesh-eating, but they seemed hungry and they were everywhere.)

The property is right over a pizza shop and we were worried it would be noisy and/or smelly. However, we found it quite lovely, spacious, and comfortable. The view from the front windows was great and it was a real plus to be able to walk to the shore or anywhere in downtown East Tawas. The people who take care of the property were professional, courteous, and responsive. This is a great place for a moderate sized (about 4-6 people group) and a great home base from which to see the area.

Great location terrible water pressure/temperature

The rental was everything that was described in the listing. Great location to town and beach. Spacious living area. The one issue was that we didn’t have water pressure or cold water. The bathroom off the master bedroom would be low pressure then just fade away to nothing for about 5 seconds then slowly come back to low pressure. We could not adjust the temp easily because we could not get the cold water. Both hot and cold would run warm to hot water. This was in the shower and kitchen. I did message the contact person who suggested to let the water run for a while. That did not help. We dealt with it while we were there.

Great location problems with water pressure and temperature.

Everything was accurate from description. Great location. The only issue was the water pressure and temperature when taking a shower. It was low, then would gradually totally run out for 5 seconds then return to low pressure. This was the shower off the master bedroom. We could not get any cold water the whole time we were there. This was throughout. Bathroom shower/sink and kitchen sink. I did message the owner. Said we should let the water run to see if that helped. It did not. The shower temp was med hot to very hot. You had to keep trying to get the perfect spot and then it would change. I don’t know if it’s tied in to the restaurant that causes the problem but we would not rent this again just because of the plumbing issues. The rental was a great location with plenty of space.

Tawas fun

We loved our stay in this home. My family was in Tawas for a wedding across the street at the Tawas Bay Resort. We could just walk over to the wedding and for swimming and beach fun. There were 6 of us, 4 adults, 2 kids, plenty of space to hang out. AC controls in each room is a plus for different temperature preferences. We had everything we needed! Very comfortable beds.

We had an absolute blast here! Conveniently located across from the RV park where other family members stayed we were able to walk everywhere. Spacious condo with everything you would need. The best part was getting pizza from the restaurant right below. I was worried I would hear all of the noise from the restaurant. You could not hear a thing. I would absolutely stay here again.
