What a great place, awesome location, and best ever experience with our hosts! Easy walk to the beach, or bike ride. We biked the town and the Kal-Haven trail. We walked to restaurants and shops. If you are club members, the Moose is a quick 5 minute drive or 10 minute bike ride. The American Legion is a 5 minute walk with the best sunset views over Lake Michigan anywhere! And the Elks is a 10 minute walk and their upper level location downtown has great views of the shops and lake. We spent lots of time on the screened in, wrap around porch and made a fire in the fire pit at night. So much room for everyone!

We enjoyed the size and location of this rental, easy to get to town and to the beach.Loved the wood floors and the kitchen reminded me of my grandma's house growing up. The screened porch was quite nice and had a lot of furniture to enjoy morning coffee and evening chats.

We had a lovely stay. The house was surprisingly spacious, lots of lounge space and tall ceilings. Really with everything you could need. The location is amazing, walkable to beach and town. We could see the black river from the front steps. Because its at the end of a cul de sac, we could throw a football with our kids out in the street without worrying about through traffic. This house really exceeded all of our expectations. Would definitely want to stay here again.

Wonderful property and location

This is our 3rd time staying at this wonderful home. The location can't be beat, very close to town and not too far from the beach. The screened in front porch is where we spent most of our time, just lovely. We had a small issue and the hosts were available and immediately responded.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the south beach/near town charmer …

Second time staying, first time for full week. Loved the screened in porch and upper exterior deck areas for morning coffee and evening champagne… So spacious with a lot of seating for hosting friends and family. Location was perfect for walking uptown and evening walks… Garage had fun things for activities like bags game and bicycles… Wish we could stay longer. Will definitely be back next year.

We took our family vacation Labor Day weekend with our two adult daughters. The house was awesome in every phase. The location was great as we were within a few blocks of downtown, the beach and other places. The screened in porch was great. We cannot wait to return!
