This was a great place for a family vacation. The house is rustic but everyone was comfortable and we loved walking to the beach. Would definitely consider going back.
Good property, great location, fair price for this older two story home. Had a blast with the kids on the beach, which was within close walking distance.

Hello Robert. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to complete the review on your recent stay at Blue Yonder cottage. We appreciate your comments and feedback and I will be sure to share this with our team. We hope you enjoyed your stay and we'd love to host you again!
Our stay at Blue Yonder was everything we hoped. The access to the beach was perfect and easy. We enjoyed the big porch and views of Lake Michigan and the sunset! The house had everything we needed including a grill and fire pit (first time for s’mores for our grand child!). It was clean and comfortable. We highly recommend a stay at Blue Yonder for your family or group.

Thank you for the wonderful review, Steve! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and the home. Sounds like some great memories were made!
Our main goal was to go to the beach every day and the location of this property couldn't be better. Literally a 5-7 min walk from doorstep to shoreline. The property itself was very cute, and most importantly CLEAN. The neighborhood is also quiet. With a few minor updates, it could be a 5 star property. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Hello Angie. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! The memories you were able to make are fantastic and we would love to have you visit us again!
It was a good location. For the most part the house was good but it could have used a deeper dust cleaning, more towels, the lighting was scary that it was all plug in and the fan was hanging off the ceiling it wasn’t secured.

Hello Amy. We are so happy to hear that you liked the location of your rental. We have fixed ceiling fan and appreciate your feedback on the cleaning. We hope you have safe travels home and that you will visit us again.
We loved staying at this beach house. Built in 1936, this house reminded me of my youth staying at Pawley’s Island, SC in the old cabin type beach houses—-before the town was rebuilt after hurricane Hugo. This house was clean, beds were comfortable. A/C worked and there was great water pressure for the shower and lots of clean white towels. We spent every morning drinking coffee in the enclosed porch overlooking the ocean while also watching deer, birds and turkeys walk by! Located right across the street from the beach. If you are looking for a new, sleek, modern home then this won’t be for you, but we really loved it! Would definitely stay again.

Hello Wendy. Thank you for taking time out of your day to provide feedback on your recent stay with us. We so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with us and that it brought back such wonderful memories for you. We hope that you will stay with us again if you are ever in the area. Enjoy your day!
We loved that there were so many different areas to hang out and relax with our favorite being the wonderful porch and fire pit area. Easy access to the beach and great location from the Pier to
the downtown area. The TV in the main living room area signal was to weak to get Netflix and wouldn’t load any other apps. A few of the mattresses need an upgrade and the bedding and room rugs could have been more clean. Overall the cottage had loads of personality and we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your review and the feedback, we will definitely pass that along to the owner. So glad you enjoyed your stay!
Perfect location, comfortable space. We would love to be able to rent again.
It worked well and we had a great time. My only issue is not providing beach towels or an iron at a beach house. Beach towels are too much to pack for a long vacation. We would love to come back... we have many family events in this town as family lives here. For weddings/funerals which are big family events, irons are necessary when travelling w/ a big group. We were blessed to have family there who had an additional 10 beach towels, thank goodness. Thank you so much for everything else.

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to share your thoughts with us about your stay. I have shared your concerns and added them to suggestions for the owners. While we would love to supply beach towels at our properties, our experience has been that they don't get returned to us which becomes a costly expense, as I am sure you understand. We are happy to hear that you had a great time and hope you were able to make wonderful memories during your visit.
The property was what we expected - rustic. We were there with our grandchildren and this was the perfect location - close to the beach and just a mile from the center of town. The kitchen had all the cooking pots, pans, utensils needed. One downside was the knives were very dull. There is a comfortable outdoor sitting area with grills (charcoal and propane) and a firepit. We took advantage of both. The washer and dryer were in a separate room that turned out to be a perfect room for us to set up the pack ‘n play for our one year old granddaughter. Originally, we thought she would end up in her parents’ room. As I said, we consider the house ‘rustic’. It has squeaky floors and stairs. The bathrooms are on the small side. We had no problems with these things. We will definitely look to book here in the future.
