We had a wonderful stay at this property for a long winter weekend! The home was both comfortable and beautifully designed. The master bathroom was a standout—spacious, with a gorgeous large shower and elegant fixtures that made it feel like a private spa. The main gathering area was perfect for relaxing together after a day out, with plenty of seating and a cozy atmosphere.The kitchen was modern and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and enjoy them right at home. We also appreciated the quaint and thoughtful touches throughout the house. Every detail felt carefully chosen and thoughtfully finished. This property offered the perfect mix of comfort, style, and craftsmanship. Highly recommend!

All in all was a nice house but for this price point it could have been better. Dead bugs under the couch my dog ate. Both the bottom floor toilet seats move around. Yes I could have emailed the owner but I’m not putting my vacation on hold and put my dogs away to have someone fix an issue that should have already been taken care of. The vacuum cleaner was packed full of dust and hair. The door to the side door does not stay closed. You have access to the kayaks but there is literally no where you can put them in the water at this property and you also can not fish at this property as the water line is to far out with sand bars all around you. My first time to the up and it wasn’t the greatest. Very expensive house with little amenities. Also only one tv in the main sitting area. Could have been cleaner with dead bugs every where.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 4, 2026
David, thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you found your stay unsatisfactory. However, had you contacted me during your stay, I would have worked with you to make things right. You contacted me a few times before your trip and as you were leaving, and each time I responded promptly. Since I hadn't heard from you during your stay, I thought all was well and you were enjoying your trip. Regarding pricing, keep in mind my rates are the same whether I have one guest or eight (which is my maximum). Rather than a hotel room, you have access to a 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom house, as well as the surrounding property, including the private beach.

This was a beautiful home and beautiful location. It was easy to find and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was easy to reach with quick responses. We enjoyed the rocking chairs and spent a lot of our time just relaxing on the porch looking out over the water. The seating around the firepit was great, too. We were able to enjoy a couple campfires while watching the sunset. This is definitely a location we would like to go back to.

If you need a place to unwind with your family with incredible sunset views, easy to access day trips in the area, and have all of the amenities of home, this is the place. We loved the sunset views! The kids enjoyed using the kayaks, and the adults loved the sauna. The screened in porch was a beautiful place for our grandma to sit and watch the kids play all day. We want to return again next year!

Amazing!

The property was clean and conveniently located for everything we wanted to do. I had a few questions before our stay, and they were quickly answered. When we got to the house it was very well stocked with everything that we needed. The beach was clean and the amount of fire wood available is crazy! I think the owners go above and beyond any other property I've stayed at as far as household supplies. I 100% recommend this house and these owners!

Beautiful home and amazing beach!

I wanted to go to Florida for my son's spring break, but he wanted to do something different from all his friends, so we ended up in the UP, and I am glad we did! I don't think I have seen a better sunset anywhere!The house is beautiful, with an amazing great room, killer kitchen and the master bathroom has the largest shower I have ever been in!The beach is sandy, wild and rugged (given the time of year, we did not go in the water)The firepit with supplied firewood was quite the added bonus. We will definitely be back in summer to swim and kayak!

Age 3 years to 58 years old not 1 complication. We do have 1 question, how much did you have to pay the wild life to put on their shows? I loved watching the crane in the morning. Thank you.

Go in the UP

We use this Verbo as a main spot to come back to every night and we used it a couple times to grill and cook items. There is plenty of rooms however we did buy a fan. Hopefully if you were reading this, you will get to use it cause it does tend to get hotter upstairs.
We made a fire one night and told stories by it
Pretty morning
Nearly every morning there was some kind of bird slightly on unclear in the photo just because of the screened in porch portion
Beautiful sunsets with the kids being able to walk a long long way out!

Molly, thank you for your feedback! We just had ceiling fans installed in the upstairs bedrooms so that should help going forward. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. And, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise:)
