We had a great time with our large family for a vacation with grandparents, kids, aunts and uncles! The perfect backyard for kids and beach access was perfect! Very open, clean and great for all ages!
Excellent well stocked home, with lots of gathering spaces, walking distance to Lake Michigan with a private sand beach. Great outside spaces, easily accommodated 12 people. Would definitely book again!
This HOME is wonderful. Even in heat warning weather, the patio umbrellas protected us. 6 min walk/2min drive to PRIVATE beach on lake Michigan was the best. Perfect location between adorable towns. Hit the amazing farmers market on Saturday, beware the pies are so good.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was a short drive to South Haven and Saugatuck and a short walk to a very private beach! Beds were comfortable and kitchen large and well stocked. The owner was very attentive even coming out to fix a difficult door. Highly recommend.
The only reason I didn't give it a 5-star was because it said there were beach chairs for use. We couldn't find any. Or beach towels. Otherwise, we'd have brought our own. But the place was nice.

Hi Nanci,
Thanks for your review. As we discussed, you did find the towels but felt like there were not enough to your liking. We appreciate having you as a guest and hope that next time you leave a review, be it for us or another rental, you leave an accurate one so that it does not mislead others.
We aim to make our travelers experience the best possible which is why we always request that our guests reach out should they have any questions during their stay. You chose not to do this and therefore, we were not given the opportunity to tell you where the beach chairs were located.
Thank you,
Skirmante

This house has a special place in my heart. Everything about it is special. I have been coming here with friends or family since before the current owners and it is always exciting because I come home recharged, rested and relaxed. The house itself is spacious, clean and bright. The location is great - quiet and neat. There is a lovely private beach, sunset park, open backyard with a fire pit and jaccuzzi. It’s a wonderful place to create memories, enjoy nature, disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. This place speaks tranquility, bliss and harmony. I always look forward to coming back here.

Good property manager not the best property owners
Location is great. The house is nice and spacious.
Property manager was accessible all the time even though unfortunately we had to contact her late at night at 10pm she would always answer immediately.
I doubt the owners have experience with renting their property and that does leave a bit of a room for a barrier, but that might change and things will be better the longer they have opportunity to stay in the market.
Having the same cameras at home, the cameras they have outside on the patio are with voice recording which doesn't really bother mee too much but at the same time I do feel a bit awkard knowing someone not present might be hearing my conversation. Thought, this also might change with time since all of our AI assistants do hear us all day to send us the perfect ads, maybe the owners use it to learn how to improve themselves 😁

Our property VRBO page and rental agreement between every guest state that there is outdoor video surveillance in use. We utilize video surveillance for the safety of our guests and our home, noise monitoring and guest quantity management only. We never listen in on the private conversations of our guests as this has no benefit to us.
As you are aware, you had listed that there would be a total of 10 guests in the home for your reservation. However, we were able to confirm that there were at least 13 adults and 8 children - which violated our agreement for your stay. Due to this amount of guests - we had to request that you keep the noise down after quiet hours began and after community complaints were received. As a result of this reservation, the homeowners received a letter in the mail from the city township warning us of future repercussions for such large gatherings without prior notification to the city.
