We loved this house and location. It's very comfortable, and equipped and furnished with kids in mind, too. The owners' care and attention to detail really shows through, just like their other properties. I have never had a better VRBO experience than renting their well-managed properties for my son's wedding.

The location is great for access to downtown and the marina. The street is quiet, and the neighbors are very kind. The host is quick to respond as well. The house could use some TLC. The landscaping, and outside in general, isn't maintained. The mattresses and bedding could use a good upgrade. Food couldn't be stored on the counters due to ants (we did not bring this to the owner's attention because we didn't want chemicals sprayed while we were there, but I'm positive he would have helped).The house is older and has its quirks, but they add to its charm as well.

Continues to be a fantastic stay!

This is our second stay of the summer at this property and it was just as delightful as the first time. Super clean and the most convenient location. Easily walkable into town, with a grocery store within walking distance, and beaches a short drive away (less than 5 minutes). The owners have been super thoughtful in providing amenities that make it feel like home and that are also super convenient -- like a pack-n-play on site. Can't say enough nice things about this rental property!

Ideal Location, Incredible Host, Charming House

We loved staying at this home. The location can't be beat - quiet neighborhood, one block from downtown and grocery store, less than one mile from the lighthouse and minutes drive from several beaches. The house is charming with much original character and really nicely decorated. The host is the most responsive I have experienced in all my years staying in Charlevoix. The house has many helpful "extras" like a hand-held vacuum, air mattress, yard games and pantry items. A wonderful week in Charlevoix with the most charming home.

Great Host, Location, and Amenities

Joe our host was responsive from the booking process through the end of our stay. Everything in the home is welcoming. Our party of 5 was comfortable. The location was wonderful. Just a short walk to town, beach, and many great restaurants. Everyone in town was very friendly and kind. 2 1/2 baths!! Master bath and a second 1/2 bathroom downstairs as well as one upstairs allowed all of us to get ready for a wedding effortlessly. Great water pressure and well stocked home with all the items you might need.

Easy distance to everything!

Everything was clean and well stocked. Joe is obviously used to working with families. Our weekend was clear and warm, so we were outside a lot. Downtown is literally within walking distance, great beaches for adult rock hunters and kids wanting to play in the sand. The absolute best, even though we didn't need it, there's pancake mix, oatmeal, Mac and cheese, all onsite, just in case there's a mealtime meltdown. Genius!

Perfect location and ambience

This location cannot be beat!! Especially fun atmosphere and easy access during Venetian festival so we did not have to deal with any traffic during carnival days. So convenient to step out across the street for breakfast at the diner or any last minute groceries. Hosts are very hospitable and friendly, stocking the kitchen with wine, pasta and oatmeal; and the bathrooms had plenty of towels and toilet paper to last the entire stay. The home is clean, and fun family photos add to the cozy vibe. Neighbors were very kind and friendly to us as well. Classic Charlevoix, felt like being transported back to simpler and easier times in the best way possible. We absolutely loved our stay and just wish we could have stayed longer!

Great time at the Hurlbut house.

Enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at this house. Very clean with an exceptional location. A very short walk to downtown Charlevoix and minutes from the beaches. Joe has thought of everything! This house would be equally perfect for a couple wanting to just "Get-Away" or a family interested in seeing and doing it all. The house has lots of space, ample parking, a yard for kids to play in and a patio for adults to gather. As grandparents who truly enjoyed our "Quiet" at the Hurlbut house we can hardly wait to go again and take our family for and "Action Packed" adventure. Can't say enough great things about this gem of a home and Joe the host!
