QUIET & SECLUDED. Near Beach, on Bike Path.

We were a group of 14 ages 15-80 years, parents, 4 daughters and their families. We loved the fully stocked kitchen, large outdoor table to eat, socialize and play games. Bunk beds with adults in them?? They were very comfortable! We loved all the bikes, surrey bikes, books, proximity to the beach, fire pit. We had a great time. I would highly recommend this home!

My family of 11 adults rented this house last week and it was a perfect fit all around! The house has everything from bikes to use, a seemless endless supply of towels and enough room to house everyone. The owners left detailed instructions for our stay and helped with any questions we had. We will definitely look to rent this house again!

We had a great time at. Drifting Dunes. There were 10 of us including 3 teenagers and a 10-year-old. The sleeping arrangements worked well with bunk beds in all 3 bedrooms. The bathrooms were definitely adequate with 2 full baths (one in the master bedroom) on the 2nd floor and a half bath on the first. The kitchen was definitely adequate with a large refrigerator, lots of cupboards and plenty of counter space, dishware, utensils, and (unusual in our experience) plenty of knives of all sizes. The house was very well supplied with amenities in the bathrooms and throughout. There is a large, new gas grill and the big back porch has a table with enough seating so that the 10 of us had lots of room. The yard was large and the backyard with the fire pit was a focal point of the evenings. There were more than adequate supplies of bath towels, beach towels, blankets and all cleaning supplies. The laundry on the first floor was convenient and easy to use.

There is a basketball goal, basketball and football. The outstanding feature of Drifting Dunes is the double garage filled with bikes – not rescued bikes from the police auction, but a wide range of new bikes including a tandem and 2 “surreys”, 4-person bikes, which are great for taking people and supplies to the beach. There is an electric air compressor for inflating bike tires. An extra refrigerator in the garage certainly helped with the big group.

There were 2 things we didn’t expect: 1) the living room and dining room are entirely taken up with craft tables, presumably for scrapbooking. For indoor eating, a table between the kitchen and family room accommodates 6 and there is a bar with 4 barstools. On the one rainy evening there was not room for 10 of us in the family room. 2) The street on which Drifting Dunes is located is Lakeshore Drive, really a road with a 55 mph speed limit (which means the drivers travel at 60-65 mph). This causes 2 problems. It is somewhat nerve wracking to go to the beach, which requires going 2 blocks and then crossing Lakeshore Drive and the very fast traffic. The other problem was finding the driveway. The area is wooded with houses set back but at regular intervals such as in a regular residential neighborhood. The driveway was marked with a metal butterfly but that was inadequate when looking for the driveway with cars behind you and coming at you at 60 mph.

We would definitely recommend Drifting Dunes for a pleasant and easy group gathering.

This house is in perfect condition! There are no loose door knobs, leaking faucets, ill fitting doors, the usual minor details I've become used to in vacation rentals. Everything is clean, bright, and new looking, and works perfectly. The back deck is spacious, and has large tables and chairs to seat our whole party of 11. I think there are 18 bicycles of all sizes, and two surrey pedal cars. Good sized bedrooms, plenty of towels, everything you need and then some. Our family has been renting in Mi. for about 5 years and this is the best house we've had yet. I highly recommend this house.

Very beautiful, clean and very well stocked vacation home. 13 of us including adults and children thoroughly enjoyed the property and the surrounding area.

The bicycles and surreys were great fun to ride on the adjoining trails. Everything we needed was provided. We highly recommend this home.
