About the host
Hosted by Luis Ramirez
Our main home is in Orange County, California, but we’ve spent every summer in the Upper Peninsula. Our children grew up making memories here, and the U.P. has become a meaningful part of our family’s story. We choose to host guests in our Gladstone VRBO because we enjoy sharing this special place with other families. It’s a chance for them to experience the same simple, memorable summers in this welcoming little beach town that we’ve cherished for years.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it’s home in every sense of the word. Dawn grew up in Gladstone and even served as a Gladstone lifeguard, so the community has long been part of our family’s roots. Over the years, we’ve continued to vacation here and spend our summers in this town with our children. It’s hard to find a small beach community as accessible, welcoming, and genuinely friendly as Gladstone, which is exactly why we chose it.
What makes this property unique
Our property stands out because it has been fully remodeled and equipped with modern amenities, offering comfortable accommodations for up to eight guests. Its prime location—close to the beach and just minutes from downtown—makes it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The home is fully stocked with the essentials you’ll need throughout your stay.
One of its most distinctive features is the deck off the kitchen, designed to create a seamless indoor–outdoor experience for relaxing or entertaining. The deck overlooks a private backyard enclosed by beautifully mature lilac trees, adding both charm and privacy. We built this space with families in mind—a place that naturally brings people together.
