Everything was as pictured and as described, either in the posting, or in separate communications with Kim. Kim was amazing as a host...I tried not to bother her beforehand, but when I did, she responded promptly; she also reached out to me as she thought of things that might improve our stay.
It is very clear ahead of time that there are a lot of stairs. but to confirm, there are almost 40 between the two house levels, so depending who is staying, guests might need to pre-plan their moves! We were grandparents with two early elementary kids, and Gpa had "the penthouse". We worked it out, but for some, it could be too many stairs every day. FYI, neither (apartment) is at ground level. Also along the line of stairs, there are 65 to get to/from the private beach boardwalk Additionally, boardwalk and single boards trail is about a 3 minute walk to beach. I am NOT a very physically active person, but I had no trouble at all--just pointing out for others. Kim made very clear what the accessibility issues would be; she does point out that one can drive part way. I would recommend driving to the little park that is below the house, and taking the public boardwalk (perhaps those were her instructions, but I didn't pay attention as I didn't need them).
EVERYTHING we needed was provided!!!! I was impressed. The neighborhood was quiet (were we lucky??). The beach is amazing! Not that Kim has anything to do with it, but this is one of the few wide beaches left along the Lake Michigan shores. My only regret is that we could not see the lake from the house except for a sliver when sitting on the balcony, but we spent so many hours at the beach in the morning and in the evening/sunset, that it didn't matter . Definitely would return!
