We had a wonderful stay. We were close to the beach and the parks. The shower was lovely! My husband is taller and he was comfortable. Plenty of hot water. The kitchen had everything we needed.

Birthday getaway

This property was very clean, and efficient for our three night stay! The hosts were very thorough on check on instructions, and the house itself was very clean! Although I was a bit skeptical about the location when we pulled up, I can tell you we never had an issue or felt unsafe! We really enjoyed the comfy space. It was perfect to come back from hiking the parks and just relax! Highly recommend!

Great weekend get away!

My best friend and I highly recommend this property. Clean, comfortable and had everything that was needed! We were hiking most of the weekend but had we been rained out this would have been a fantastic place to enjoy the weekend anyway! It was a great place to relax and make a good meal. Very spacious as well! Would make a good couples or family getaway. Will be back when back in the area.

Great little apartment

Stayed here for a little Michigan coast getaway. Lower apartment was older but renovated and clean and well stocked. Beds were large and comfy. Enjoyed the location for its proximity to the highways and it allowed easy access to all of the coastal towns and National Parks. Just an FYI, the neighborhood isn’t necessarily the nicest part of town so just make sure to lock your car and don’t leave any valuables in view overnight…..that being said, we had absolutely no problems but it’s something you should know if you are expecting to wander around. Hosts had great communication and I absolutely would stay again.

The house is super cute and really close to a lot of the best things Michigan city has to offer. It was super clean and had a lot of kitchen stuff. The beds could be a bit more comfortable but they weren’t the worst. Overall a very nice place .
