We had a wonderful stay at this home! The location was absolutely perfect—close enough to the beach to make it easy to enjoy, and just a short distance from all of the cute little shops and restaurants. We also loved having a Meijer nearby, which was so convenient for picking up groceries and anything else we needed during our stay.The home was a great place to relax and enjoy our vacation, and the location really made everything so easy and accessible. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and enjoyable place to stay!

About the host
Hosted by Aaron Overhiser
I was born and raised in Southwest Michigan, where my family has farmed local fruit for generations. Growing up here gave me a deep appreciation for everything that makes this area special, from Lake Michigan sunsets and beaches to orchards, wineries, small businesses, and the welcoming community that keeps people coming back year after year.
When I’m not hosting guests, I work as a local physical therapist, helping members of our community stay active and healthy. Hosting short-term rentals is an extension of that same passion for serving others. My goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed place where families and friends can relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories.
Whether you’re visiting for the beaches, wineries, golf, hiking, boating, local festivals, or simply a peaceful getaway, I hope you’ll experience Southwest Michigan the way locals do. Thank you for choosing one of my homes, and I hope your stay is one you’ll remember for years to come.
