Amazing location. Place is more rustic than it looks online and a bit musty till you get the widows open and the fans going but then it was perfect for what we needed. Good sleeping temp and right on the beach. Everything was clean but the shower really needs an update and the half bath sink is super tiny.

Incredible old beach cottage, the views and beach access are great. There is a lot of stairs to get down but it was doable for us. The stairs are shared with the neighbors. It has a wonderful beach house charm, great porch and deck for the sunset, and it slept 9 comfortably. A few shared rooms and a private room as well as a futon down stairs. They accommodated us when we told them the beach towels were missing and they delivered them to the cottage. We would for sure stay again. Everyone was charmed

Amazing location!

We had a wonderful time during our stay here. The view is amazing and we were fortunate to have weather making daily beach time possible. We spent most of our time down at the beach or playing games/eating meals in the screened in porch to enjoy the view.

Beautiful location and welcoming hosts who responded quickly to small problems even on a holiday.

Wonderful location, it really was steps to a great beach. There was no air conditioning, but they brought fans and most of the time we had a breeze from the lake. Really terrific spot!

Wonderful location for family getaway

5 adults and 4 children, we enjoyed the proximity to the beach, beach chairs and a parasol were provided, ate outside every evening overlooking the lake, used the bbq provided. Property was clean with plenty of beach/towels and bedding, a couple of games and puzzles, plenty of books for when we took a break from the beach. Steps up to the front of the house for entry, and a staircase down the dune to get to the beach, managed well by our 3.5 year old. Lovely location for a great price.

Location was beyond anything we had imagined- amazing beachfront access. Description of property is accurate- quaint cottage. Be prepared to appreciate the older amenities- also, no dishwasher and one full bath for our 8 guests was a bit of a shuffle, but all of this information was clearly disclosed before booking. Being August, we knew it was a gamble to have no air conditioning. One night was very HOT, but the other evenings had the beautiful lake breeze we were hoping for. Fans were provided in each room, which we appreciated. Affordable property in a breathtaking location with quick access to all Holland has to offer!

Attention to little things would make it better.

Nice to hear the water break along the shoreline in the mornings. Beautiful sunsets! The bed frames need updated - too noisy every time you move. The hand railings are worn/chip away and need maintenance. Also, the stairs to the beach need cleared of the growing grass. The water pressure at the upstairs sink needs to be reduced.

Glorious Lake View

We had a wonderful Father’s Day gathering for my family of all adult children. Being where there was a view of the lake from the house when it was chilly and a nice deck/overlook area to sit when it was warm was good for my Lake Therapy.” We are a close knit family so it works for us, but the sleeping quarters are not very private. Quaint and basic - old fashioned kitchen with updated appliances. Some of the pans needed attention before use. It was a bit of a challenge to find. There was a sign by the driveway but still very difficult to see the number to see which house was correct.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the pans needing attention before use and for the difficulty in finding the vacation rental.

Misrepresented

The property at night is almost impossible to find. The driveway was not even possible to get close to the house because of garage damage. The stairs were so steep our older friends had to check into a hotel. The overall condition of the bathrooms was unbailable ( pipes glued and just sticking thru the walls) for a fee of over $ 400 a night the facility should be user friendly. We own the largest parking lots and event centers in the US Gate Ten Events. The presentation of this unit leaves much to be desired.

Kathleen - We are truly sorry your expecations were not met. Prior guests have not had issues locating the cottage and see the BVW Vacation Rental sign posted by the street. As far as the stairs and bathrooms - as advertised this is not a newer cottage and the pitch of the steps are typical of properties this age. The pictures shown in the listing are accurate and recent and we are sorry you feel they were misrepesenting..

A great vintage cottage right on the water with beautiful views and an awesome gathering porch space. The beds are a tad small (not even queen sized), and be prepared for no air conditioning. But overall a fantastic place and we’d stay again!

Had a great family gathering

Overall a good experience. Just a few comments: My son-in-law has allergies so the lack of a good ventilation fan in the bathroom, the caulk in the shower showing evidence of mold and the shower curtain hanging so low that it touched the floor and not able to dry out was not a good combination for him and he had a day of not feeling well because of those issues. Also you may want to replace at least one of the boards on the walkway as it passes the upper patio deck area. The board in questions is very spongy and possibly could let loose and allow someone to be injured.

great views, cozy, not fancy. Needs a few small improvements

Overall, cozy and fine for my small group (3 adults). Although house sleeps 12, I would not recommend more than 8 people, as only 1 shower and only 8 chairs for dinner tables (1 in kitchen, one in front room). Kitchen was in need of some inexpensive but essential items: there were only 4 forks, but plenty of spoons, plates, cups, and cooking pots, mixing bowls. Needs: cheese grater; can opener (existing one not functional); FORKS!!; an 8x8" and/or 9x13" baking pan to make lasagne, cornbread, casserole, etc; more plastic storage containers for leftovers There was plenty of cookware for stovetop, but not much appropriate for use in the oven.

Location is majestic..BUT...

This property location and view is stellar. However, the management of the property seems to be lacking. I was not happy with the lack of CLEANLINESS and some very simple items that were either broken completely(e.g. outdoor grill, cabinets) or in dire need of attention. A handyman could quickly and inexpensively fix some of the things that need attention but after emailing the property managers I received no response. I'd stay in the area again for sure but this property really needs some TLC!!

William - Our apologies for any lack of cleanliness for your stay. This has not been an issue for prior guests and the crew we have cleaning at this property is one of our most reliable teams. We would have been happy to send them back out during your stay of we were made aware of issues. You are correct about the cabinets - they are older and need to be periodically tightened up. We will send maintenance out right away to have this taken care of!
