Great location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view and location were fantastic! Was able to see Lake Michigan from the balcony, short walk to the beach, short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes Park. Reasonably well kept condo.

The property was clean and comfortable although dated. The sliding doors and front door need to be serviced. The kitchen could use a Keurig type machine. The location was very good and overall met our needs.

Great location with access and a nice view of Lake Michigan

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice quiet spot for our off-season get away. The views shown in the pictures are spot on! The condo was well equipped and clean when we arrived, but it could use some deep cleaning. Good customer service from the managing company. We would stay here again, and also use Visit_Up_North for a rental again.

I’ve been coming to this resort and staying in condos here in and off for 40 years… Unfortunately, we had to sweep the floor when we arrived as it was sandy. Water pressure is great. Location and view are very nice. Also because I’m used to coming to this resort, I’m used to a washer and dryer in every unit and I packed thinking there was a washer and dryer in this unit not realizing it’s not listed as one of the amenities. So realize or know that there is no washer and dryer if you book this unit, which wasn’t very helpful when we had rain and had to pack wet clothes. The proximity to the beach is great. We enjoyed our stay!

Great Location, Decent Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely setting in the beautiful Homestead, with views of both the Crystal River and Sleeping Bar Bay. Reasonably priced for the area. The one bedroom condo was fine, though a bit dated. Kitchen well equipped except definitely needs new pots and pans. Bedroom furniture very nice, with great bed and linens. The condo was very clean on the surface, but needs some deep cleaning behind/under furniture, closets, along baseboards, etc. Bedroom carpet needs cleaning in the traffic areas. Overall, it’s a good place! A bit of updating and a little more cleaning could make it a great place!

Great location - quiet and tranquil

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo had all the necessary things to make the stay comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and everything functioned properly. I would stay again but thankfully the temperature was cooler as there is no air conditioning. Also a suggestion if possible, better bathroom ventilation - the fan light combo does very little to pull moisture from the room.
