We really enjoyed the house - plenty of beds and bathrooms for the eight of us. House was pristine, well-appointed, and the owner was responsive. The top floor was great for my elderly parents since it had kitchen, bedroom, family room, and deck all on one floor. We also really liked the many places to lounge - two nice decks, a porch, and a nice backyard area with gas and charcoal grills. The garage had a lot of extras for the house and the beach. Definitely a better-appointed house than most we've stayed in. Also easy access to nearby towns for groceries, dinners, etc.
The Lake Michigan beach is about two blocks away and requires a short tram ride down a steep bluff (or 148 stairs for those who don't mind the walk). It's a great spot - peaceful and pretty.
Only caution is that the house is very vertical - lots of stairs to get in and move around. Same is true of the beach - even with the tram, there are steep steps to complete the journey down to the beach. So if you have elders who dislike stairs, just note this - getting our two elders in and out of the house took a bit of doing and we didn't take them to the private beach because of the tricky final stairs.
We would definitely endorse this house and its owner and could see ourselves returning to it!
