Great location and loved having a garage

Initially, we were disappointed that the bathrooms were not clean and the floors throughout the home were not either. But after this information to the owner, they quickly had the cleaning crew back to clean the bathrooms. Due to it being a tri level unit, it’s important to note that the upstairs bedroom areas are extremely warm if you don’t run the lower level air on full blast. They might need to close vents in the lower level so that air is pushed upstairs more efficiently? Finally, the checkout process was not clear so perhaps requesting that an email be sent the night before check out to ensure that you’ve covered all bases would be helpful. Overall, it was a very nice unit and the owner was very responsive! We knew the location was not right downtown but it was a quick walk for us to get there.

Nice comfortable stay the host was accommodating. We were very satisfied with the quick response we received from the host. Just a few minor things I would address perhaps new bedding sheets for the master they have definitely seen there days and the dust on the nightstand in the master and perhaps the cleaning staff could do a better job of the dust under the sofa. We enjoyed the fact that it was very close to restaurants some within walking distance.

Great place to stay for a family with young kids (3 YO and 6 YO). Very clean and well equipped, especially with items to accommodate little ones……multiple step stools, outdoor toys, a bathroom on each floor and 2 bath tubs for bathing. Plus it’s right next to a park and a 5 minute walk to downtown. Would definitely come back!

Overall, our stay in this VRBO was ok. It was in a nice location and an easy walk to downtown. However, when we stayed at this rental we ran into a hot water issue. The host wanted us to try and fix the issue on our own before calling for a handyman to come. We had to hault part of our vacation time to have the guys try and fix the hot water issue. Once they tried to fix it for awhile, they were finally able to get in contact with a handyman to come and fix the issue. It didn't get resolved until after 7:00 PM that night. We went 24 hours without hot water. The host said that the handyman came to fix the issue just prior to us arriving for our stay but still wasn't able to catch that the hot water wasn't working prior to our arrival.. That was a huge let down that we were paying all this money to stay in this rental and a fundamental amenity was out for over half of our stay. We weren't given a partial refund for the inconvenience of the water being out and for the host asking us to try and fix the issue on our own when we were paying her money to stay in her rental.. If you are planning on going to the beach, this rental doesn't have plastic containers, ziplock bags, beach towels, or any other necessities needed for the beach and packing lunches at the beach. Pack accordingly if you are planning on taking your family to the beach.

Long Michigan weekend

Wonderful Stay – Perfect Location!We loved our stay here! The condo is located right on the main strip into downtown Grand Haven, which made walking to the beach, shops, restaurants, and the marina (including the Saturday farmers market) super easy—all within about 1/2 mile. There is some street traffic noise due to the location, but the proximity to everything far outweighed that. The space was clean, comfortable, and worked great for our group of 5 adults. Jenny, our host, was fantastic—very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We’d definitely recommend this place and hope to return!

Very Kid Friendly House

Overall we were very pleased with this house! The toys for kids were a great bonus. Location was nice. Only “complaint” would be there were a few things that weren’t stocked in the house. No hair dryer, wine glasses, and a few other kitchen items we looked for.
