Great to be so close to beach. Lacking basic maintenance with inoperable sliding screen door, two non latching storm doors and windows that appear uncleaned for a decade.

The property was spacious. The lake view was spectacular. The location was awesome. It was great to walk right through the yard and be at the lake. Having beach access was why we chose the property. It was also great to walk to the small town and eat at the restaurants. Food was amazing and we really liked the local coffee shop. The only negatives were that it was a little musty and there was some mildew in the shower.

This house had so much retro charm and was perfect for our family to spread out after a long car trip. Beds were comfortable, community areas were spacious and well stocked with puzzles, games, books, and interesting knickknacks. Great location for beach combing or venturing into PRNL.

Hello and thank you for your comment. I will be sending you a message through Vrbo so I can understand what makes the property dangerous in your opinion. I felt we had very good communication throughout your stay. I brought you every request you had for me and I would like to know what we can do better or how I can update the description to help all understand what didnt work well for you

We enjoyed our stay at this rental which is located right next to the very busy Agate Beach and parking lot. Pictured Rocks attractions were 30 minutes west, great rock hunting to the east, and a handful of restaurants are within walking distance. Check-in and check-out went smoothly. Future renters might want to bring folding chairs as there are none at the property which made it difficult for our group to gather around an outdoor fire or sit comfortably on the rooftop porch. The rental has lots of windows, creating a good cross-breeze which was nice.

This house was wonderful! Homey, well stocked kitchens (yes, 2!), beautiful views, comfy beds, and best of all, a (Lake Superior) stone's throw from amazing Agate Beach. We didn't get to enjoy a fire outside due to rain, but wood was provided by the fire pit. We can't wait to visit again.

We loved our stay at the Agate Beach House. It is such a fun place to stay. We woke up every morning to a beautiful view. We enjoyed the decks and the beautiful yard. The house is a quick walk away from Agate Beach which is great for rockhounds. We were there Labor Day weekend, so the parking lot at the beach did get busy during the day and also at night with people looking for Yooperlights. It was fun watching everyone coming and going and super easy when we wanted to join in the hunt for rocks. The deck on the garage is great for stargazing and enjoying the morning sun. The deck off the back was peaceful, and more private. Inside, the house is vintage but very comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. There were board games and plenty of books around for additional entertainment. There is no air conditioning at the house, but there are plenty of windows and great air flow throughout the house. The host also has plenty of fans available, if needed. The beds were comfortable with extra blankets available. Our host, Molly, was very easy to contact, and quickly responded to any questions. If we find our way back up to Grand Marais, we plan to stay at the Agate Beach House again!

Great location - just walk down the driveway and down to the beach. Absolutely amazing. Lake Superior is beautiful and the beach there is just enormous. It was our first time so we enjoyed looking for agates and yooperlites; not much luck on those but there are countless beautiful rocks along miles of beach. Bring your water shoes! And a 365nm UV flashlight for more looking at dusk. What fun!The house was great, easily sleeping 6 to 8 in three separate bedrooms, more if you squished. We had fewer so had tons of room. Everything was clean - blankets, towels, etc. Clean fridges; coffee maker worked like a charm. Shower was a bit snug and shower head a bit low unless you're maybe 5'6" or less, but water was warm. WiFi worked great. Plenty of seating too; nice fire pit, Large driveway if you have multiple cars.Grand Marais is a great little town and breakfast at The Breakwater was delicious! Only complaint was they had limpy fries everywhere we went... haha, but fear not: most places also had tater tots, and those were always crisp, so pro tip: order the tots, not the fries.The road to Munising is a fun, winding drive and the Pictured Rocks Spray Falls cruise is well worth it! Otherwise, plenty to see, waterfalls and hiking all over. A great trip and a great stay at Agate Beach House. Thanks!

Beachers Delight

This perfect property is right before the famous Agate Beach parking lot. No place to park on an aurora night? No problem. We enjoyed walking down to the beach every night, lots of coffee on the viewing deck, and actually caught some aurora while trying to photograph the Milky Way. We had plenty of room for everyone to relax and have their own rooms. A kitchen and a half for everyone to enjoy, and plenty of things to do. There were 2 TVs but we never used them with being so close to the beach. We will definitely keep this in mind for the next stay in this area.
