About this property
The Sundowner - Gorgeous Victorian Home Just 1 Block from Beach and Downtown!
Welcome to our charming Victorian beach house, steps from the beach and Main Street in downtown Frankfort! The house comfortably sleeps 9, with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. New furniture, fresh paint, beautiful landscaping, new bathrooms and lots of nice finishing touches makes it super cheerful and comfortable. With a private back patio, you can relax quietly, bbq, and hang out with friends & family. If you want a bit more action, you can sit on the lovely front porch and people watch.
NEIGHBORHOOD:
The property is right in the heart of downtown Frankfort! It is just 1 block from Main Street and 2 blocks from the beach. Frankfort has a lovely family and dog-friendly public beach on Lake Michigan and the downtown area has a growing array of shops, restaurants, cafes, a microbrewery (Stormcloud), and a movie theatre (The Garden Theater). There is also a pier that goes out into Lake Michigan and a rather famous lighthouse at the end of the pier. All of this is just a short walk from the house!
THE SPACE:
One of the best features of the house is its location. You are literally a block from Frankfort's amazing public beach, and steps from all the shops, restaurants and activities on Main Street. We have high speed wi-fi, a smart TV, and 2 desks with office chairs in case you need to work remotely. We supply all linens, outdoor grill and even our beach cart, so all you need to do is show up and relax. Also, although the house does not have central air conditioning, there are window air conditioning units in all of the bedrooms.
TRANSIT:
It is suggested that guests have their own vehicle, but since the property is downtown you can just walk around and enjoy yourself without a vehicle.

We had a fantastic stay! The house is both spacious and cozy, making it the perfect home base. The location is unbeatable—we loved being within walking distance to the beach, local parks, and a great mix of restaurants and breweries. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook at home; we literally just had to bring our own food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stress-free getaway!

The host was very welcoming and the house was incredibly clean. This was our 3rd stay at this house with our young 2 kids and dog and we always have the best time! The house is in the perfect location. The beds are very comfortable and decorated so cute. We will definitely be back again some day!

The house is exactly as described, with plenty of room for our family of 4. Our dogs loved the fenced yard. The location is perfect to walk to the beach or town.

We had to make a last-minute booking because of a family tragedy, but we were pleasantly surprised by our choice. The location was absolutely stunning, and we fell in love with the house! It turned out to be a perfect retreat during a difficult time.

A cozy yet spacious place for a holiday. The house has been renovated, is very clean, and was a great place to stay.
It’s a short walk to the beach as well as Main Street and all the shops. Highly recommend!

Great location walking distance to bars, restaurant, and the beach. House was clean and the property manager was very accommodating in allowing us to check in early to beat the winter storm. Definitely recommend and would absolutely stay again.
Group of buddies go ice fishing every year in Frankfort and this house was probably the best one yet out of the 8 we have stayed at. Excellent location, well updated and fit our needs perfect.

Wonderful Stay!
We absolutely loved The Sundowner. Spacious, well appointed, perfect location. Love that we could bring our fur babies. Can't say enough good things about this rental. We will definitely stay again!
Great property provided a much needed rest and lots of fun in the sand for our 3-year-old! Loved the proximity to downtown and the beach. Right combination of old bones with modern touches.

This property is exceptionally clean and provides many amenities like toiletries, kitchen spices, foil, plastic wrap, ample dishes, flatware, pots and pans, and Keurig coffee. Ample space in the house to have meals, spread out, and relax. Grounds are well groomed, and the house retains its 1908 character along side a well-done remodel. Really enjoyed the short walk to the beach.Property manager is excellent -- very responsive and genuinely interested in making sure one's stay goes very well.

Very nice house and really close to downtown. Great communication back and forth with the property manager. Highly recommend if you’re planning a trip to Frankfort.
We had the absolute best time at this house! The location can’t be beat—easy walk to the beach and town. The bathrooms and kitchen feel very recently updated and the house had all our needed creature comforts. Would absolutely rent again!
Well appointed home and about a block to the public beach! Comfy bed and plenty of seating in the living room for watching tv at night. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and the quality of the pots, pans, utensils are good. Our pup loved the front porch - the fenced yard is nice too.
