Perfect family vacation home

Loved the Miller Beach property, it had everything we needed and more.This home is very spacious and has lots of comfortable gathering areas, inside and outIt was more than enough room for our group of 4 adults, 1 child and 1 dog. They have thought of everything! Beautiful beach and Lake Michigan within walking distance. Two restaurants within walking distance, lots of games and activities for inside and out. We really appreciated all of the beach chairs, umbrella and wagon. Honestly, they have thought of everything you would possibly need for a fabulous vacation.We loved it

Miller Beach Weekend

First and foremost my family enjoyed themselves. The grand kids had a blast with board games (no cell phones) and bumper pool. No one slept, my daughters enjoyed the location and backyard deck. Nice big clean kitchen for family breakfast. Great place for family gatherings, located near Miller Beach. Quiet neighborhood, easy access to freeways and restaurants. Host was available for all of our needs including access to streaming services. Highly recommended!!!

The living is easy

Two families came together with 4 adults, 3 kids, and 2 dogs. We were shocked at how spacious the house is and how many thoughtful extras it contained. To begin with, there was more than enough comfortable space for all of the people and dogs in our group. We had ample space to spend time together indoor and outdoor. The dogs were welcomed with SO many toys, dog bowls, and a massive fenced in yard. There was no worry about running out of any soaps, paper towels, or anything of that sort. We walked to 2 beaches and had coolers, chairs, wagon...all available to use. The stay could not have been more comfortable and easy. I highly recommend anyone to stay here! Thanks for an amazing time!
