Do NOT rent from this host. I would advise caution for those renting with teenagers. The property was accurately described and in good condition. However, we had a terrifying interaction with the host our first night. Unfortunately, we were accused of having a party and thrown out by the owner at 1am on July 4th. We were staying with our two teenage sons and three of their friends in this home. On our first night our son invited two of his friends over to swim remaining within the house limit of nine. I want to share this experience as a warning to potential renters especially with teenagers, so no one else has to face a similar situation after less than ten hours in a rental. It’s very scary that an owner would treat her customers in that matter especially when we were present in the home sleeping and there was no evidence of a party on the property. In the case report the officer states that she only saw five adults and my family and no other juveniles. Only seven teenagers were in the home and two adults, again not over the 9 person limit. Using the pool late at night is not a violation of the rental agreement and certainly not a party. If the kids were loud she could have called me. I have no missed calls from her. A group of uninvited teenagers coming to the front door of a house that we have never been to was out of our control and a scary situation to be in as first time visitors in this area. Those kids were asked to leave and they left never entering the home.

Fantastic Grand Beach home with a pool

Our family had a fantastic long weekend at this Grand Beach home with a pool. The house was very roomy and well equipped. A wonderfully equipped kitchen to cook and converse with our family encourages the togetherness for everyone. There is a large dining table and plenty of seating for everyone. All the bedrooms were large and had very nice bed linens. The bathrooms are new and very nicely done. The pool area was also clean and lots of chair options- lounge/ sun chairs, umbrella table and couch area. Only a short walk to the beach was a bonus for our nightly sunset watch party. We will definitely be back for another visit.

Five Star Stay!

Wow! A little slice of paradise in Grand Beach MI. We can’t say enough wonderful things. Gina, to start, was a wonderful and insanely responsive host. The home was clean, well stocked with the basic items you need, and had the perfect set up overall. Grill, pool, fire pit, and large living space - 10/10. A one minute walk to the beach made for amazing walks at night, and Gina helped set us up with a bonfire permit. We wish we could have stayed for much longer than we did. Our group had 4 adults and 5 kids and we loved our time together. Thank you!

A Perfect Summer Getaway

We had the BEST time at this property with our two little ones (ages 4 and 1)! It could not have been more perfect. We are already counting down the days until we can go back again next summer. The home was so comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed. The beach was a quick walk (about 5 minutes while pulling a wagon) and the neighborhood was so friendly and perfect for strolls with the kids. The most wonderful property for a summer getaway and beautiful family memories!!

I have rented multiple times from Gina, but this was the first time at this house and we had a wonderful time.
